I might be in the minority here but I’d keep Trufant before I keep Crawley

That is the tough part, could be hard to make room. Perhaps Montgomery can/will get a few carries once the WR position gets health, offsetting some of my concern about long-term RB depth.

I’ve talked to some people about that too. I do feel we need a power runner like a Ingram, not him but that style of runner. Those guys wear down defenses

Armah. He's the guy.

Honestly I forgot Trufant was on the roster.

And that's pretty much why I listed him as the possible cut.

Justin Blackmon could probably start for us.

He blew his chance with all of the failed drug tests. Getting high is more important to him than football.

I think Payton is going to roll with the current cast @ WR ...

Hopefully, we get a completely healthy Thomas back by the second half of the season.
