I'd say these four are locks:
AJ Green, Brandon Lafell, John Ross, and Tyler Boyd. That leaves two spots open plus one or two to the practice squad.
I'd say it mostly between these four:
Cody Core, Alex Erickson, Josh Malone, Jake Kumerow.
Erickson started off pretty slow at returning to begin season but finished very strong ! He finished 2nd in average return yards. Do you really release or PS him ? Is he even PS eligible ? I don't think he had a single reception last season ? Can he contribute at WR ?
Cody Core flashed at the end of last year, and he can stretch the field. Is he PS eligible ?
Josh Malone can also stretch the field and has good strong hands. Can make contested catches but is a little weak in cuts and slants.
Jake Kumerow is a big question mark to me ?
I think the final two is going to be:
Cody Core and Josh Malone. Wilson can be the kick returner because I don't think Erickson can contribute at WR. And just like locking up a roster spot for Peerman I'm basically against tying up a spot for a player who offers little besides that.
I hate to bring it up....but we already have receiver and tight end injuries.....Sad to say we might start season with key receivers on injury list.
