Question marks STILL remain with the Williams'es [Pat & Kevin ] either being able to play or being suspended the 1st four games. the on and off again court proceedings are waiting for a verdict from the 8th circuit, that will overrule the State court ruling that will allow them to play, [at least at the start of the season] That said, the defensive line without them will be an advantage for us, along with an untested 2nd year center -John Sullivan who takes over for Matt Birk {who went to the Rats} And WHO knows about the QB play from either TJack or Sage?

@ytownbrownsbacker said:Fraley might be in trouble if they draft a center like Wood or Mack because they have Hadnot as a backup. Sorenson might be in trouble if they draft a safety. I'd say S. Smith and maybe Leon Williams if they get a ILB like Brinkley. Maybe even Bell if he can't stay healthy through camp. Also, someone like Poteat because I think he was signed to a non-guaranteed contract. He has to make the team for his contract to kick in. Fraley would be a shocker due to the fact he's a smart center and would be perfect to keep around a season to teach an up and comer. Smith is still hovering and wasn't worth a damn all season, the only time he managed to hit a qb it was in the locker room. He stood up and quite on plays every bit as much Ted Washington. Worthless, completely worthless. I'd take Ethan Kelley back in a heartbeat over this scrub. Leon Williams, he's a good special teamer and isn't the worst guy out there, well, he wasn't when we had Davis. Lewis would be a shocker for 2 reasons. 1, we've shelled out some big cash already and 2, the younger guys can only benefit from his offseason conditioning program. Unless Wells falls to us in the 2nd by the grace of God he'll still be here. Poteat would not be a surprise if we draft a corner or even bring in an UFA. If Bell isn't healthy I don't see his staying around to justify a 4th rounder by the previous crew. Rucker might be a shocker to everyone else and I think we'd swap him draftday to move up a few spots before we cut him. He doesn't fit the mold for the offense. He's more likely to be out of here next season than this one. Sorenson is out of here as soon as we draft a safety or Cribbs is moved back there. I think Hadnot has a shot at getting the ax if we draft a guard. But yeah, we're both in line on most of these guys.
