Jeff Lageman was on 1010XL on his regular Tuesday sit down with the boys over there and he felt Hurns could very well be cut this pre-season. They didn't take a chance on Westbrook for no reason back in April and so far he's been playing lights out.

Even if it's against scrubs you would have to think at some point he's capable of getting into the primary line up and at least creating favorable match ups against certain corners. They have every intention of signing Lee and Robinson up to long term deals this year. Hurns is a good player. But between the injuries and the current cap hit maybe the front office feels he's not worth it overall.

This would have to be a Coughlin move or decision IMHO. Since Caldwell was the one who just did this deal last year for him.

But Westbrook and Hurns are totally different types of receivers. Hurns is a big, posession receiver and Westbrook is a quick, shifty slot receiver. If anything, I would think he would replace Lee.

Mehhh. Hurns gets deemed that type of receiver a lot around here but I went through the numbers compared to Robinson and Lee and they're honestly all about the same. I think they could work Lee or Westbrook in the slot just fine. I think Lee probably has the best hands on this team in all honesty. Statistically speaking he's had the better catch% out of our big three. 

Or move Robinson around, which they should if they plan on shelling out top dollar for him. The elite receivers like Julio Jones line up EVERYWHERE on the field. Hope to see this offense get more creative in that regard soon.
