I would most definitely put Alshon in the BIG GUN category...Hes a superbowl winning WR who heavily contributed to that win. Hes put up numbers, hes been a top receiver in the league for approx. 8 years.

Put some respect on his name.

I strictly put the guys that made the top 100 he shouldn’t be in the “rest”
But he did not make the top 100

I really hope Elliott Frye does well with The Bears.

He is competing with Eddy Pineiro for the starting kicker spot this preseason/training camp

Corey Robinson was picked up by the Redskins a couple days ago.

Pharoh Cooper- Cardinals

Really hoping he can show out in Kingsbury's up-tempo air raid, and doesn't just fall to being strictly a return man.

Added

I think Kyler is going to be very good

After what Baker did last year in his rookie year I’m not all that negative for “shorter” QBs that throw the ball around a lot
(Also add Goff to that who came from the same offense, just not short)

And to have a pro like Larry Fitzgerald on the team will only help him more

Free agency killed the nfl for me. College football is King.

He was killing the Pats in the 1st half of that game. It comes as little surprise that he wasn't as much of a factor in the 2nd half when the Pats put Gilmore on him.

I love Alshon, he’s been to a pro bowl in his day
But what does SEC mean by “top WR?” Top 10?

Gilmore has turned himself into one of the top CBs in the nfl (were certainly was last year with his top PFF rating, 22nd overall rating by his peers, and All pro selection)

Fry and fellow kicker Eddy Pineiro competed against each other for the job since Chicago opened camp on July 26, but coach Matt Nagy told reporters Sunday that Pineiro earned the opportunity to handle all kicks in practices and games over the final two weeks of the preseason.

"Both kickers for us had done a really good job competing," Nagy said. "It wasn't an easy decision for us. Both kickers had done a lot better [in the preseason] than where we thought they were in OTAs.

I saw that yesterday.

Really hoping someone picks him up before the season starts. The guy is clutch, he just doesn't quite have the range the NFL wants in their kickers.

He was just signed by Baltimore

Not exactly why considering they have the best kicker in the league who just signed an extension

Strange I know, saw that earlier with the BAW news.

You never know when it comes to the NFL.

Eli just making a roster makes him half a million snackers a year so I am pulling for him.

Most likely to keep him on the practice squad
Or just a guy to fill in the remaining pre season games while Tucker gets the pre season off

Unless they’re taking Tucker off KO duty with the big money they are now paying him

They can pay Eli the league minimum without breaking a sweat.

He's going to land somewhere.

Baltimore fan here. We had a back up kicker from Marshall that we got in free agency. He was lights out and traded him for a 5th round pick to the Vikings previous to this

Do teams dress backup kickers?
Especially Baltimore?

He hasn’t gotten hurt much

(Looks like that backup was a practice squad guy)
