That roster spot can be used for extra DL, keep Jean Pierre on the roster, and Balmer can rfotate in at NT.
Excellent point. While I am a fan of Jennings at LS and Rossum as our return man, I feel that a team cannot afford to have so many specialists, especially when it comes at the expense of offensive or defensive depth. If they could get guys that actually serve as depth on offense and defense to take over these special teams areas, the team would be better off.
If it were up to me, I'd give Sheets and several other players a long look at return man to see if they could take over for Rossum. Brandon Jones has some limited return experience and actually returned quite well when given the opportunity if I recall correctly. Plus it would help him earn some of that money he's being given if he gets buried on the WR depth chart. Jason Hill has good size and speed and might have return man ability if give the chance. Arnaz Battle is also a solid return man and could still contribute to this team as the last WR on the roster and as a returner.
