As far as Manny, if he leaves it'll be via trade. if not, he finishes out his contract
Throw in Nate Clements, if hes not in top form, he's gone

WOW, interesting thought, but I wouldn't think Lewis would get cut. I wouldn't think Carr would either, because of his vet experience. Stranger things have happened though. All we can do is Wait and see.

CB should be an interesting competition this year. Nate Clements lost his starting job before he got injured and if he doesn't win it back in camp he's a goner.
Starters for the o-line look like: Staley, Iupati, Heitman, Rachal, Davis which leaves Wragge, Snyder, Wallace, Simms, Baas, Boone Fighting for 3 spots. My guess it's Simms as the swing tackle, Snyder as the flex G/T and Wragge as the C/G. Boone to the practice squad and Wallace and Baas are odd men out.
The Niners are likely to keep 9 OL, not 8. The competition is still interesting for a couple of reasons:
- Last year Simms showed he could play BU LT, but the year before stunk at RT;
- Last year Snyder showed he's incompetent as a BU RT;
- The Niners have plenty of people who can play BU G, but BU C is iffy.
So here's how I think it shakes out:
- Whoever shows up best at RT in TC and PS -- regardless of versatility -- gets to stay. Having someone who can play that position at all is too important.
- Whoever shows up best at BU C gets extra credit, assuming he's competent at BU G. It doesn't guarantee a job, but it will sure help.
- No question Simms stays on, assuming the coaches don't see a severe dropoff playing LT in TC and PS.
In this scenario, I think it's going to be tough for Snyder, since memories will be fresh that he can't play the position where he'd be needed most (RT), so long as Simms is still around to back up LT. If Boone shines here, I don't see how the Niners keep Snyder unless all the backup interior linemen stink.
Similarly, it looks bad for Wallace, especially if Baas show up at center (if the Niners try him there), since whatever the prevailing mood in the Zone, he'll be the best backup guard at worst. So I think it'll come down to Wragge vs. Wallace, with Wragge having shown something in the past, and Wallace not much.

OK, I think I am good.
1) Michael Robinson is not going anywhere. He is the special teams captain, and has versatility as running back and fullback. There is a greater chance that Chilo Rachal will be playing WR this season than Robinson being cut.
2) Unless Michael Lewis is not medically sound, there is almost a 0% chance he will be cut. He usually is the second leading tackler on the team, and is a reliable vet...even with the GOAT, Taylor Mays, waiting to cast his own bust for Canton.
3) Adam Snyder isn't going anywhere. There is not one other player on the team as versatile as Snyder, as he can play 4 OL positions. In a competition for a last roster spot, it would be 99.9% Snyder to 0.1% Boone (even though Boone is another GOAT candidate).
4) Cody Wallace is the player in trouble. The writing is on the wall when two other players have been taking snaps at center this week (Wragge and Baas).
5) B. Jones is also in trouble, unless he pulls off a stunning camp. No 4th or 5th WR in our scheme is going to make his salary.
6) McKillop isn't going anywhere. Special teams value and depth are keys to his staying on the team.
The rant is now concluded.

One player that may be cut that would surprise me (but not too much) is Moran Norris.
And then we re-sign Zak Keasey!

I can agree with you. I'm not so sure if McKillop has that much of a guarntee if he shows nothing in PS. Especially if Wilhem and Bowman out play him.

Is Wilhelm still on the team? For some reason, I thought he was only signed up for one year. But if he's still around, McKillop could be a surprise cut.
