I doubt you could get Bethune on the practice squad. Not sure who all the vets with accrued years are but I'm guessing Luter, Davis and Wallow are among them. Personally, I would keep Wallow over Gifford who may be a stud on special teams but is a terrible LB. Eason and Valdez are guys who could get poached depending on how their pre-season goes

The players with more than 2 accrued years on his list are, Taylor, Turner, Willis, Parker, Okoronkwo, Wallow & Davis, the rest have 2 or less accrued years, you can have 6 players with more than 2yrs accrued on the PS, the rest have to be with no more than 2 accrued seasons.

All is good, hope you're doing good too
* They probably want to trade Bethune if possible. I had him as the 6th LB originally.

* I'd keep Wallow over Gifford too, but Boyer loves Gifford.

* While Valdez is a favorite with the team and fans and he is an over achiever, ultimately, I don't ever see him making the 53 permanently if at all.

This is close if not exact. I just don't see Cruz making it at this point. Way too raw and doesn't seem to have a clue. No one else is going to waste a roster spot on him at this point. I am going to make a change myself regarding Kirk. He will not be on the 53.
There's no way in hell Enrique Cruz should make this team.

Maybe not but he was still a 5th round pick and we probably keep him over Colby and Toth. In reality we probably keep Pleasants on the 53 and try to get Cruz on the PS.

Why would they cut Toth? Who would be the backup C? I doubt they only keep 8 OL

I can't see them cutting Toth as idk who is the backup C then, also I feel like keeping Taylor is just a bad idea when you can use that spot for someone else that you may end up losing to waivers while Taylor doesn't go through waivers so he can be on the PS, I also feel like 7 LBs is a bit too many, also 8 DL seems light but I can see that, the rest looks fine but I do see Hobbs making it or at least on IR, same with Kirk and I feel like they're not gonna cut Colby

Has Toth even practiced since we signed him?

I'm not sure we keep him over other guys same as Christian Kirk and Hobbs but you never know

Updated since the Taylor news of being placed on the IR.

I'm liking this McCormick kid, if we keep 4 backs I think he'd be the 4th
