------------

Signed guys on outside looking in = 10.

1. Irwin, WR (close with Iosivas)
2. Taylor, WR
3. Adeniji, OT 
4. Smith, OT 
5. B. Brown, C 
6. Basham, DE 
7. Gunter, DE 
8. George, CB 
9. Thomas, S (PS, protected)
10. Chrisman, P

Collins likely starts the year on IR/PUP, so that would open up an OT spot for Adeniji/Smith. With the new PS rules, some vets can stick there (Thomas, Basham).  IIRC, you can have 6 vets and 4 protected players on the PS. 4 protected: #5 safety (Thomas/Anderson), Iosivas (if Irwin beats him out), Basham, + Smith/ Adeniji loser. 

I wai a few says until the UDFAs are done. We are up to 75. Room for 15 more for camp. Pally has a great list going in another thread.

Taylor doesn't make the 53 this year and Lassiter does.
