I have to make some post-Camp cuts:
C Ross President, last year’s 6th rounder
DE Oscar Freeman
WLB Roderick Mitchell, last year’s 2nd rounder
I sign UFA LDE Tyler Hastings, a 22/32 guy
I extend OLB Courtney Upshaw by two more years. He comes off of his hold-out.
We have 2.6 mill in cap space after that. His cost to extend dropped down after camp. Let’s look at our roster, and then begin to ask some questions:
QB Bortles 61/61 – Raul Hall has dropped to 28/28. I don’t see me using him for too much longer.
RB Walter Gohl (54/54) with Reggie Brooks at 45/45 and a good return man and rookie Rivers too.
FB Robbie Wheatley – 50/50 and cheap and our backfield leader too
TE Travis Kelce – 68/68; JR Delaroche, 42/42
WR Wild - 56/83 and Lee – 71/71 and Robinson – 50/50 are still rocking things hard-like
C Pearson – 52/52
OG Satre – 95/95 and studly; Theophilakos – 44/56 – and backup Linder is 41/41
OT sees Goldhammer at 53/53; Starks with 29/68 and backup/mentor Terrence Richmond at 38/38
P Leslie Bridgeman – 57/57; K Tyler Bernard – 60/60; LS Grayson Johnstone
DE Butler – Dropped to 48/48; Velazquez is 67/67 and DE Willis 38/38
DT Grossman is 54/54; Hover 43/43
At LB we have Irving Ward at MLB with 53/53; Upshaw at SLB with 53/53 and recent signee Shawn Branton, the best OLB in FA at 52/52. No good backups though - the best is OLB Leon Russell at 39/39
For CBs we have starters and draftees CB Bryan Meadows – 51/51 and Shane Hopkins – 59/59; backups include Janoris Jenkins at 49/49; Jacob Tudor at 40/40 and rookie Colton Hanks with a 27/52 spot.
Meanwhile at the safety spot we traded Cyprien in the offseason and are now committed to SS George Iloka (56/56) and FS Tavon Wilson returns – (53/53). Both are older (30 and 30 respectively) so this is not a permanent answer, but they both work.
