We still have Stenberg and Awosika at reserve IOL - I thought Awosika did an OK job. 

I think Buggs and McNeill are your two projected starters right now, McNeill played more 3T down the stretch.

Iffy Melifonwu is probably at safety, if it matters; Chase Lucas is a nickel.

Moving Jamaal from Free Agent to Signed Elsewhere hurt. ☹️ He's the top guy all Lions fans wanted back. However, to be able to pick up someone like David Montgomery to replace him on the roster shows just how far this roster and team have come. We are getting quality FA to Detroit without massively overpaying them.

If Glasgow is going to be the starter I can’t see them keeping V.  They still have around 19 mil and could bump that to 33 by cutting Okwara and V. 
 

Did they adjust Harris contract? His hit has gone up and is no longer a cut candidate according to over the cap

Reportedly, Vaitai has nerve damage in his back. If that report is true, I don't see him sticking around no matter how great of a player he is. While I don't see Glasgow as the starting RG down the road, he's a nice stopgap who has familiarity with Ragnow and it allows the Lions to draft an OL without throwing them into the fire prematurely. 

Harris took a paycut to stay. He won't be cut. They already moved him money around. I thought it'd be between him and Romeo, where Romeo gives us more cap space. Now with Harris taking the paycut, I see Romeo getting cut if needed.

I think we aren't going to make alot more moves until the draft.
