Injuries will definately be a big deal as always but if all these WR's are healthy i honestly think we might be in for a surprise Lafell trade or cut.

He just doesn't have the upside of Malone or Core IMHO.

I know he is experienced but hey, this is just a hunch if we keep 6 instead of 7.

Lafell has been the best WR in camp not named AJ Green I think you keep him.. hes got the most snaps with Dalton outside of green.   And if the rookies are stepping up you rotate them in and increase their work loads.

But I wouldn't cut him or trade him this late in the game for a guy we might be able to stash on the PS anyway.

Totally agree

I think Core is on the bottom of our WR depth cart, and I don't think he would stay on our PS if we put him there. If we cut one of our 7 I see a team stealing one of them. I think we will put a LB like Dawson on the PS to free up some space. Dawson was on the PS last year, and he wasn't snatched up so it's safe to assume that he wouldn't be this year.

Well, cannot argue with that Xeno, i was just thinking of the future and as Brownshoe says, if we put Core on the PS
he will be grabbed up by another team i am sure of it. His size, speed and physicality are very rare.

Lafell just doesn't have the speed like Malone or Core and he is much older.

I say keep 7 and avoid this at all costs if all these guys are healthy.

Agree with this, Dawson should be safe on the PS, Core would not IMO.
