For a player on a rookie contract all 3 of those options are basically the same thing I don't see that happening for anything other than disciplinary reasons (of which there are none at this stage). I just mentioned all options, I believe he is an IR candidate unless he begins to show more than he has. That 6th or maybe even 7th spot if we keep that many will be based on special teams. If Perriman is better than Scott on special teams, I could see Perriman getting another chance. Last year the big issue with him was, that he didn't play special teams. If he had a role on 4 or more special teams he would be a completely different option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaleel Scott seems to be going the John Simon route. He'll be put on the PS and then a team will sign him off of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Scott doesn't make the active roster then IR is the only other real option. I think the same goes for Lasley too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he'd have to be on the initial 53 man roster to get put on IR because players with less than 4 years in the NFL have to go through waivers to get to IR in the pre-season (and he'd obviously have to have a significant enough injury). It's why someone like Hunter Henry isn't officially on IR yet even though everyone knows he's out for the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diamondbull424 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I think the TE spot will be: Hayden Hurst, Nick Boyle, Mark Andrews - cut Mayle: We cut him so that we can sneak Jaleel Scott a redshirt IR year. Then we bring Mayle back to be a key special teams contributor. - cut Williams: We want to give him the opportunity to be a primary backup option elsewhere and wish him the best. He’s skilled, but just not someone we can rely on durability wise, so we move on. For another team he could prove otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second this, although I think Williams offer a little bit of the same thing Ricard does as a fullback option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricard offers a lot more to the team than Williams does though, being a two-way guy and being a really damn good fullback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Williams had just as many or more snaps as Ricard last year. He has been a two-way guy in 1 or 2 games, other than that Ricard is a role player who might see his role expand.

Williams had that many snaps due to injuries at the TE position and how bad we were there in general. That's not going to happen this year (fingers crossed). Bottom line is that he's very expendable.

coordinator0 Posted August 17, 2018 Author Share Posted August 17, 2018 Williams and Ricard are not the same at FB. The latter is a better blocker in that facet. Maxx is fine, even somewhat of a plus surprisingly. At tight end. He's not the lead blocker out of the backfield I would want in the redzone or any short situations.

berlin calling Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 i changed my opinion on this one... with how bad the depth players at WR look they'll probably only be carrying 5 WR thus making 4 TEs on the 52 very likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
