Ok, so we know that they brought Sheed back on a 1 year deal, and Olave is a lock.

Does anyone see Tipton getting into the rotation? Watched him run routes against McKinstry and Taylor today. He's quick off of the line and has great speed.

Kubiak's offense is geared to get his playmakers the ball.

so if Tipton can earn a spot I would imagine he will have a decent roll in the offense as a rookie.

I feel comfortable saying Perry will play the 3rd most snaps. Very possible he leads the team in receiving scores too. Only guy with any size or physicality

Just to clear it up a little; Shaheed wasn’t “brought back” on a 1 year deal, he signed a 1 year extension, so he is actually signed through next season.

Olave & Shaheed are clear WR1 & WR2. I expect Shaheed to take a big leap forward, and Olave to maintain what he has been. I'd love for Olave to catapult himself into that near great true WR1 status, and he's talked about his own expectations for it so that is encouraging, but I'm just not sure I see him having that ability. To his credit though he did improve on some contested catches last year & a little bit of RAC, and seemed to come on stronger after Michael Thomas got sidelined.

WR3-4-5 are all up for grabs.
Perry's job to lose in my opinion with a big reason being he's a different type & build of WR from pretty much everyone else that we have. He's got the biggest frame for jump balls and physical catches. Not sure of his run blocking but if he's smart he'll be focusing on that this season as well.

Cedric Wilson has had his name mentioned a few times in camp for some good plays. Haven't heard anything negative.

Mason Tipton has stood out so far, great to hear. First 2 days of pads did not slow him down either as continued to make plays according to reports. We'll have to see if he can continue that during preseason games.

Stanley Morgan I don't recall his name being mentioned hardly at all

Jermaine Jackson hasn't been called to my knowledge either

Bub Means is injured

Kyle Sheets was already cut/waived

I still wouldn't be surprised to see us add a bigger framed veteran after cuts are made or after week 1 when their salaries are not guaranteed. Though that could change if Perry, Wilson, Tipton show out during preseason games.

Hoping Tipton makes the team.

DA sort of criticizing Perry after practice yesterday. Not sure Perry is cutting it in camp right now.


ETA: But its camp. So don't overly think about Perry not "getting it" or Tipton being a camp superstar. It is rarely a Colston situation.
