Most likely either Germain Ifedi, Alec Anderson, Kingsley Jonathan, or Cam Lewis. But it's hard to see a number of those players being released. Ifedi maybe? Cam Lewis has been getting decent playing time. Doubt it will be him. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have 7 CB's which seems 1-2 too many on aberage. But the bottom of the depth chart in Neal and Lewis are too valuable on Special Teams. And Neal is the only other backup Nickel. So I don't really see either of them being cut. We have 10 OL, which is probably on average 1 too many. And Ifedi has been inactive every game and could probably be snuck on the PS at this point. So I think he's the most likely candidate. I'd have listed Baylon Spector, but we have 5 LB's on the roster and that's kind of the minimum amount you need already.

I’m thinking that even though an offer “may have” been made it was of no interest to Beane in which the organization still wants him on board.

No_Matter_What Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 My guess is that this is it for this week. Daquan won't play vs Pats and won't be on the roster. After the game they will decide what to do with Shorter and Jones. There might be injuries which will make things (unfortunately) easy. If nothing bad happens, my guess is that either Spector or (more likely) Jonathan will be released. Or Ford maybe. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 Nice to see them getting more players back healthy for the stretch run. Elam is depth much better to have a healthy version of him as opposed to Josh Norman on the bench in case of injury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no chance in HELL they release Cam Lewis given his role on defense as the first sub at safety and NCB as well as his role on ST. I agree it’s probably down to Anderson, Ifedi, or Jonathan. They love the potential of Jonathan and are high on Anderson. I’m guessing maybe Ifedi thought he was the insurance policy all season.

Both players have been active all season. And in the event that Ifedi can't be reclaimed to the Practice Squad, we also have Richard Gouraige there. So yeah, I think Ifedi's the likely choice.

Rock'em Sock'em Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 When Jones is available, L. Joseph seems like the obvious choice for cut / practice squad.

I just don’t think they were interested at all. Maybe for a 2nd or better. But he was a first round pick just 2 years ago. If they believe he can play they get him for 3 more years on a rookie salary. Considering how cash strapped they will be, I’m sure that came into play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
