The teams must reduce their active rosters by Sunday, Aug. 30th @ 5:00 PM (CT).

What are your thoughts/hopes on possible trades, cuts/releases, etc. prior to Sunday?

I do not get the one projection of 4 CBs and 6 safeties, I would think it would be reversed with more way more reps needed for CBs. I think that is what we did last year, which makes no sense especially considering our safety group is not that great.

Yeah the 4 CBs was way off IMO. Trying to be bold and generate clicks.

Jay Ward saw a lot of playing time in the slot last season. There’s no reason why he won’t play there again this season if needed.

The Saints are trading veteran linebacker Deion Jones to the 49ers in exchange for running back Zamir White, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

I mean we had 4 CBs last year, no?

I would also think it sounds a little crazy, but Flores is a little crazy.  I think you just have to reframe it as us having a nickel safety, whereas other teams have a nickel corner.  So if each position has one backup, that’s 4 CB’s and 6 S’s.  I think it would make more sense as 5 CB’s and 5 S’s, just in case of injuries.
