Hard to say definitely right now because it always seems to be a position where at least minor injuries are a factor. But I’ve seen quite a few roster projections with Chris Jones getting cut. I’d prefer to keep him because I think he’s a pretty solid rotational guy.
Easley and Brown are obviously locks, then I’d pencil in Siliga and Branch as near-locks (though you can never be sure a vet like Branch will stick out of camp since it would guarantee his salary). Still, I think he’s the only true veteran and a needed presence.
Chris Jones might actually be in competition with Zach Moore, who’s been working as an interior rusher.
Overall it’s a good mix of size and quickness and I am so curious to see how the rotation breaks down without Wilfork this season. We could be in for a bit of a schematic tweak without him.
As for the ends Chandler Jones, Ninkovich and Jabaal Sheard are locks and you’d think Grissom and Flowers should be as well. With Moore’s flexibility that should help pad the defensive end spot as well.
