Has Frank Alexander done anything other than get suspended for the first 4 games? I've read he too could be on the bubble

 

I'm just going to give my prediction for the final 53

** I think Tre Boston will be "redshirted" on IR. Sounds like the young man can't catch a break with his heath.

 

The coaching staff is still doting over him for whatever reason. Under normal circumstances I would expect him to get cut, but Gettleman's obsession with defensive linemen probably keeps him around for another year. We did keep 10 DL going into last year.

 

Replace Philly Brown with Bersin
Replace Denicos Allen w DJ Smith


To PS
David Foucault
Philly Brown
Marcus Lucas (you can't teach 6-4)
Darrin Reaves

 

I don't think Bersin makes it. He's already losing reps to King and Brown appears to have more special teams value.

 

I read somewhere that he won't count against the limit while suspended, so I guess there's no reason to make a decision on him until the suspension is up.
