re: Current WRs on Roster & Drafted/Undrafted Players

I was wondering that, too

I remember there being a lot of discussion last year if he was even eligible, because he was right on the border of eligibility.

A player is deemed to have served a season on the practice squad if he remains on the practice squad for at least three weeks. Players are eligible to be on the practice squad for two seasons. Players can be eligible for a third practice squad season if their team maintains no less than 53 players on the active/inactive list at all times.

After spending the end of the 2010 season and most of the 2011, 2012 and 2013 campaigns on the practice squad, working with the scout team, as well as seeing action in the preseason, Tanner will compete for a roster spot. Was on active roster for season opener vs. Atlanta, Sept. 8, but declared inactive.

Looks like it's either 53 or cut for Tanner this year.

we can we start the "trade _______________ for __________ to the Browns" threads?

Colston for a conditional 3rd to 2nd...

What makes you think they will trade for one?

they don't have to wait for one to mature or develop or have any concerns. A veteran can step in, be a leader for some young guys and bring stability for a young qb.















it ain't happening though but.....

Very interested to see how Coleman plays in the preseason.
With his height, he could be a great red zone weapon if he develops

I think he's gone and Meachem will be gone.

No doubt Tanner is gone. He was barely good enough to make the squad last year for one week before we replaced him with Meachem because we didn't want to guarantee the whole year for Meach(if a vet is signed to the 53 on opening week his whole contract is guaranteed that year).

So while technically he made the opening 53, he was never going to stay.

And the only reason we signed Meach was to take over Morgan's role which Morgan took over from Meachem. Both are good in that role though.

Colston, Stills, and Cooks are the only locks, so that leaves 2 or 3 spots open(I think without Sproles we go back to 4 HBs and 6 WRs).

Realistic options are Toon, Morgan, Meachem, and Coleman unless one of these other UDFAs really show out.

I really think one of Morgan or Meachem makes it(run blocker and play action deep threat) with a very slim chance both do if we keep 6. I would say Morgan has a leg up being younger but the injury leaves that in question.

That leaves Toon and Coleman battling for the other spot which is more in the Colston role.

So it will likely look like this:
Colston
Stills
Cooks
Morgan/Meachem
Toon/Coleman

And if we keep a 6th it will be whoever showed out better but lost the role battle.

Jones seems to fit the better mold of typical NFL success

i dont know much about either, just basing it off their size and measurables, coupled with their production.
