@soulman just my opinion but I don’t think Marvin Hall is any threat or competition whatsoever to Taylor Gabriel’s role. I think he’s a ST player and a 2nd option at KR. 

I think Hall may not make the 53.

Speed and special teams should keep him on the 53.

At the backend of the roster you need guys who are  good on teams and who have a skill you can use on offense or defense. Hall has elite speed for the offense, which has value even in really small doses.

Josh Bellamy leaving does mean they're going to need someone, likely a WR to fill that role.

 

(What a weird thing to find yourself saying!)

Kinda what I was thinking as well.

It seems that most of Paces moves have been to sign FAs he believes can make the cut or re-sign guys who have made the final roster in the past.  A spot for Hall as a gunner, backup KOR/PR, and deep threat as a WR seems pretty obvious.  It looks like a very strategic signing to me.

He’s the most expendable if we draft someone. I’m toying with drafting a speed/ST guy late who basically replaces him with the same skill set (with more upside) only on a 4-year rookie deal.
