I loved Coleman's size, and his size. Did I mention his size?

He was in doubt to make the squad with all the additions at the position. The only reason would be playbook familiarity, but barring a significant I jury wouldn't expect him back. Who knows though

The talent level at WR is so far ahead now that the only way I see him returning is next season if we can't afford the others after a Lombardi...

Then again, Payton's statement also serves as a kind of reference, endorsement to his work ethic, character for other teams that may be shopping...

He's a good blocker. I could see him back late in the season if we get dinged up.

Sean Payton agrees with you (starts around 1:37).

Sorry to hear he's injured. Like everyone else, I didn't think he'd make the team anyway. I see it shaping up like this:

1. Can'tGuardMike
2. T. Ginn junia
3. Tre Quan Rookie Sensation
4. The other Cam
5. The Flea
6. Maybe if someone's a great returner

I'm not so sure that the flea makes the roster. Some of these younger players have potential.

WR-X (3) 13 - Michael Thomas, 81 - Cameron Meredith (RFA 2018), 87 - Brandon Tate (FA 2018),
11 - Tommylee Lewis, 18 - Keith Kirkwood (UDFA)

WR-Y (3) 19 - Ted Ginn, 10 - Tra'Quan Smith (R3, #91), 17 - Michael Floyd/80 - Austin Carr

KMajor and I discussed that the Tommylee Training Camp Spectacular is always a great show, but inability to return, rarely game-day active, why commit a roster spot?

Kirkwood was my sleeper, then we signed two veterans who could be the final WR roster spots; Kirkwood's got great hands and range, should make Practice Squad...

Payton remarked Floyd was heavy, but the talent is there; but Coach learned his lesson after spending a 1st round on Meachem who showed up - out-of-shape...

Carr looked like the next in a line of reliable slot WRs -Lance Moore, Willie Snead IV; but with the talent acquired, not sure Moore nor Snead makes this roster...

Josh Huff has talent, and looked like the best returning punts till Tate showed, but he's facing a pending two game suspension - we don't have time for that BS...

At worst, Kirkwood is starting to look like a practice squad "lock". Coach Curtis will polish him up quickly.

One knock against him was he'd come from a program that hadn't remotely prepared him for the NFL; before OTAs, he hadn't run half the route tree...

A red-shirt year with Coach Curtis & the Whoopin Stick, an active year next year and Kirkwood, by his third year, could slide into Cam Meredith's slot...

And with his size, great hands and catch radius, there will be no need to bring back BC; you'll have Thomas (X), Tre'Quan (Y), and Kirkwood (Z)...
