McBride, Galette, Jordan, and Wilson will be enough for the first four games, and then they'll get Smith back, also some of the younger "no-name" guys on the roster might surprise us, like Braylon Broughton.

Also, Hicks could move to the edge position temporarily if the need became dire, since he played that position in Canada along with being a DT - he would probably be out of place against NFL competition, but still...

Being 8 Mill under the cap.. Bring them all in, who ever makes it makes it... Cut the rest until we are 2 mil under cap in case we need to cover for injuries.

It's one thing being $8M under the cap and a completely other to fit all the players under the 53 man roster limit.

I just don't see the benefit in spending money when it is not necessary, and I just can't see Carter being a difference maker worthy of spending money and a roster spot on him - and it seems that Spags agrees.

We have until the first week of the season to hit 53.... Thats 5 weeks....

Lets go fishing, keep all that are big enough, try and keep a few on the practice squad, throw the best back....

Not spending unless you keep them.... We can speculate all day as to who will preform... or put them on the field for a month and see who preforms.

I like your thinking on this, I feel like Tez is a experiment, to me he needs to put on a few pounds and possibly will be eaten alive by a offensive lineman at the point of attack because of his weight, McBride should be fine, Junior is relentless in attack mode, and Jordan is still a question mark and may end up playing more of a DT than a DE so why not go fishing, upgrades are always welcome in my book thats why there is competition to see who is who and who is not. Bring him in and line him up and may the best man win. Smith is not what he use to be and possibly could get be out by someone that actually has something to prove.
