I do not feel as if WR Ace Sanders #18 in his 2nd year in the NFL is on the bubble of being cut.  He declared for the draft in his Junior year, and had more receiving yards (484) than 4 year veteran Doss had while with the Ravens.  He not only has his age going for him, being young and able to coach up but he comes in with $495,000 base salary while Doss is at $645,000 base in comparision.


The team currently has 15 WRs (if you dont count Justin Blackmon) so surely many will be cut before September. If you can trust the depth charts out on the web most of them reflect this;

 

 

WR1 Cecil Shorts, Allen Robinson, Tandon Doss, Chad Bumphis, Allen Hurns

WR2 Marqise Lee, Ace Sanders, Mike Brown, Lamaar Thomas, Kerry Taylor

 

That would make me think that the top 4 are safe; Cecil, Marqise, Allen, Ace, and the 5th one being a tough battle but I expect Mike Brown will win for Preseason start.  They also have <span>Justin Blackmon (Susp), Damian Copeland, Allen Hums, Kevin Smith, Brandon Wimberly, and Denard Robinson listed at WR.  The GM Dave Caldwell already publicly stated that they will not cut Justin Blackmon (dead money) if not reinstated, and I wonder about Denard Robinson and exactly what if any role he'll play on this team.</span>

<span>If you say Doss was on the bubble, or Mike Brown, or Kerry Taylor for example I could beleive it more than Sanders.  He is the punt returner.  You figure they have to have guys on the 45 game day roster that could match up with certain teams defenses that might mean big and strong like a Blackmon type of WR or Robinson for example or it might mean quick fast route runners like Sanders whom also fit the special teams needs.</span>
