I can see some vets getting axed but not any that will be a surprise. As already mentioned: Rock C., J.T.,Ade, Wynn, Salavea. Salavea might actually be a surprise. I expect him to make the roster. The cap dictates a lot of what they do with these older guys, but i defer to Scneed, Canuck on that front.

Nice thread. I think anyone on the line (Salavea, Wynn, and Daniels) could be surprising. And of course every year we ask ourselves is this the year Rock and/or Ade get cut.
True story that I love telling. I got to work a birthday party at Portis' house last year on the last day of cuts. All the RBs and WRs were there. The whole time I kept looking at Rock and wondering if he'd been cut since I had been there all day and didn't know who were in the final cuts. He looked sorta down but not really. I was too afraid to ask though. I kept thinking...man what if this guy just got cut. That's the one thing I really remember from that party was just wondering the entire time if the dude has just been sh*t canned. Oh yeah and 5'7" my ass. The guy is no taller than 5'5".

Rock and Thrash solidify their roster spot ever year with their ability to play Special Teams. Those are the cuts that would shock me. Another thing that would suprise me is if one of those younger no name DE's makes the 53 man roster.
+1 Jimoh and Thrash are the gunners on special teams and are very consistent performers. I too would be shocked if they got the axe.

I think Trash will stay because he is still an adaquate receiver and plays great STs. Ade is not a very good corner. If he was a better coverage guy i could see him staying but with all the good CBs we aquired this offseason, I think at least one of them can replace AJ on teams.

You have lost your flippin' mind! THE ADE is a great corner - did you not see him shut down Larry Fitzgerald last year? And he's the best player the skins have on special teams.
Every year everyone talks about THE ADE as the first player to be cut and each and every year he makes the team. I think Carlos Rogers has a better chance of being cut before THE ADE.

Cutting Rock would horrible. Rock busts his ass and makes plays on special teams. And, you know a little guy like him must have an excellent work ethic, they need Rock around so other guys learn how to work just as hard as he does.
Rock ain't going anywhere. He was straight cash on ST last year. Thrash is safe... He's a solid ST'er and probably our biggest WR (not counting Cooley (TE)).
Big Joe might go, if there is questions on his health. Wynn is a great guy but I'm not sure how much he has left and what he contributes to the DL...
I would like to ESPY get his chance this year on the roster of 53...
Ade could be suseptible if the other CB's and newly drafted LB's play good ST.

Boschetti, Salavea, D. Evans, the Ade & J. Butler or D. Macklin, Fox and/or Doughty on D.
On O, I can't name all the backups we signed, but I don't see any real name cuts there.
I threw the ADe in there cause he's got a lot of competition, but he should be the front runner in the #5 cb competition. I'd be shocked if he moved up to 4 ahead of Macklin & Butler.

James Thrash?Thrash was our best receiver last year. Of course, Moss will easily rebound and be better this year, but I think Thrash at least deserves strong consideration for the No. 2 receiver job.
Not sure what hes done so wrong that he doesn't deserve a look.
