Been thinking about this lately, with Watson being 30 at the start of next season and his inability to stay healthy, where do you guys peg his odds at being left out of the 6 NI's protected during the expansion draft. Obviously a lot can change over the course of the rest of the season if he comes back and tears it up or depending on how other NI's play.

At this point I'd say its likely he'll be protected but feel like its far from a sure thing.

Thoughts?

 

Agreed.

So who would you keep in terms of 6 NIs?

 

Assuming only rostered players are in the draft (not guys who teams own CFL rights to like Bilikudi and Mulumba):

 

Greaves, Swiston, Pencer, Etienne, Kohlert, Muamba

 

If Bilikudi and Mulumba are included, I'd knock off one of the receivers and protect Mulumba.

 

 

Pencer is an interesting study in the post-Mack world.  What happens to him after he comes off the 9 gamer.  If Walters and the coaches totally don't believe in him and he was forced on the by Mack he could be gone without ever playing a game.  

 

Given that this is a lost season they should play him a bit and see what they have.

I find it interesting that you'd protect JE

 

Change of heart.
