Quote:CB: Probably the toughest spot. I can count at least 8 guys who have a strong case for sticking so there will be 2 or 3 tough cuts here. Gratz, Ball, Blackmon, Mike and Jeremy Harris, Demetrius McCray, Rashaad Reynolds, Aaron Colvin (eventually)

 

One good thing is that Colvin doesn't count until he is taken off PUP.  If that's done mid-year, there may be an injury or two which makes the decision easier.  Even if not, we at least buy a little more time to evaluate our young players.

 

That being said, I think we keep six given the talent at this position.  (We'll keep one less linebacker than some teams given it's not a very deep position for us.)  I see Gratz, Ball and Blackmon as near locks.  McCray as probable.  That leaves Mike Harris, Jeremy Harris and Reynolds battling for two initial spots which goes down to one spot after Colvin returns.  I think it would be tough to cut Jeremy Harris, a draft pick who was injured last year.  I also think Mike Harris showed enough to earn a roster spot.  If he doesn't really impress, they may cut Reynolds and try to sneak him onto the practice squad.  I agree that this is a crowded position and will be very interesting to watch.
