Do you think Fred McAfee will make this year's team?

It really depends on how Sean Payton wants to fill his roster. (I will assume no one gets hurt or traded which is not very likely). As it stands now, Fred would probably make it as a 5th RB since hybrid Reggie Bush would be considered the #2 RB, and #4 WR. Since Bush can play two spots, the WR spot will probably have only 5 final roster spots. Where it gets sticky is does Sean Payton want to keep more than 3 TE's or have a backup FB in the mix. If Payton wants to keep 4 TE's, or 2 FB's, then Freddie is in trouble just based on the numbers game. Another possibility is that big RB Joseph could be ready to contribute.

If I was a betting man, I would put my money on Fred making the team. Just gut instinct...
