I 100% agree with Brockers and Vaitai. Brockers was benched halfway through the season and Vaitai was injured all last year.
Josh Reynolds is trickier. He was signed mid-way through the 2021 season and really solidified the recover position. He played with Goff in L.A. and they have a good report. With Chark’s UFA status, I think we keep Reynolds.
I need to deep dive a bit more on others. I think Romeo Okwara could be a candidate to be cut. He came back from a torn Achilles last year and just wasn’t the same…
