NoSaint Posted July 29, 2018 Share Posted July 29, 2018 (edited) 1 hour ago, Wayne Arnold said: I'd be shocked if Zay was cut but until he can get out on the field and show progress he's on the outside looking in. Rookies drafted after the 4th round are far from locks and truly have to earn their spots on the 53 man roster. It's still early in camp, but at this moment Proehl and McCloud have a tall hill to climb. Make more plays and get reps with the 2nd team and they'll move up. I agree not a lock. You’ll note I have one not making the roster in my post. I’d be surprised if they cut both though. Zay would have to have a camp as disastrous as his offseason to fall outside. He’s by default in unless he finds a way to lose the spot. That you’d be shocked says exactly that. Edited July 29, 2018 by NoSaint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kerley and Benjamin are the two locks to make the roster IMO. Kerley is the most experienced receiver we have, has the most career receptions and yards and is still under the age of 30.

I'd be surprised if the kid wasnt cut and you have him as a top three? Zay is going to have a long road ahead just to prove he can make the roster, let alone push for playing time.

He was drafted in the second round. No way he gets cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C.Biscuit97 Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 I love good stories but why is there this hype with Reilly? Guy had 1,200 yards and 6 tds in 4 years. Nebraska didn’t have studs at qb but he wasn’t even the leading receiver on the team. Honestly, why are people so fired up about him? Is this like a Martin Nance situation? And for the record, I hope he is a total stud. I just don’t get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Despite the thoughts of some, I don't see many scenarios where this team cuts Zay Jones. Maybe they trade him if a really good offer comes across the table but I don't see that happening. They're already thin at the position and Zay knows he needs to step up which I think he'll do once he's ready to go. I think Reilly has a solid chance to make the 53. They took him off the practice squad late last season and added him to the active roster. I don't think he ever saw the field but to get bumped from the PS to the active roster that late in the season shows that McBeane can see him playing a bigger role this season, granted, if he continues to develop the way he has. Other than that, I think Robert Foster is a near-lock for the practice squad and *maybe* the active roster if he has a super impressive pre-season. I also like Dupre and hope he can step up as he was viewed as a top WR prospect for a hot minute back in late 2016. LSU didn't have a QB in 2017 so on paper his stats aren't great but there's talent there and sometimes it takes a season or two before a guy reaches his full potential. Jeremy Kerley probably makes it for his veteran presence. Andre Holmes is on the bubble, despite his special teams play. They've got younger, less expensive options to take over for him if they want. McCloud is destined for a special teams role and I think Proehl is also practice squad material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
