I know the Falcons are looking at cap down the road but his contract is only like $11m and it makes me wonder why they seem to determined to move him. Their O looks pretty damn good after adding Pitts. 
I do wonder how many WR's we will keep on the roster and I keep forgetting about Collin Johnson and we signed Dorsett. And you usually get that UDFA that's all heart that you fall in love with. Still miss you Hurns!

I think they keep six wide receivers, not counting ETN who I consider to be a running back.  Chark, Jones and Shenault are locks.  Considering that they gave him $4 million in guaranteed money, I think Agnew is also a near lock.  However, I think he will primarily be a returner.  He will be considered the fifth wide receiver on game day, but that means he will play very little at receiver barring injuries to others.  I then think Collin Johnson is likely to make the team and serve in the #4 role.  It basically leaves one spot available.  The player will likely be a game day inactive unless there are injuries.  This spot is up for grabs, but I consider Jalen Camp the favorite.  I don't think you draft players with the intention of cutting them.  However, Camp will get competition from Phillip Dorsett and the other no name receivers on the roster.

Looking at the WR's on the roster at the moment we have

Chark, Shenault, Jones Jr, Collin Johnson, Dorsett, Agnew, Pharoah Cooper, Jalen Camp, Tim Jones, Jon'vea Johnson, Josh Hammond and Imatorbhebhe. 

Now obviously not keeping all of them, I'd say the first 4 are locks and between Dorsett, Cooper and Agnew for a 5th/6th spot. One or two will probably end up on the PS. Theres always one guy you've never heard of that has a great camp and the classic underdog story.

I do wonder with FA being before Meyer got to spend any time with the players, if someone like Dorsett was a guy hes worked with before but Meyer has been raving about the players we have here, it sounds a better group than he maybe thought he was inheriting.

I did see a press conference the other day where he was quite critical of Charks play last year and his condition. He said Chark added 7lb's of muscle this off season and wants him a strong, fast WR like Michael Thomas at the Saints 

The WR group looks pretty strong and could be a fun group to watch over training camp. Good to see strong competition.
