I can't see Buchanon not getting on the roster unless they really think that shoulder isn't going to heal anytime soon. If he's almost healthy, he's got to be out there. I know Westbrook & Thompson play teams, but neither is as valuable as PB to the D.

I think it's either of those guys or Stallworth. Don't see Sellers being let go w/Young having been hurt & out the last 2 games.

Yeah but we haven't even seen Sellers with Young out. Cooley has been playing FB.

Its gonna be either sellars or banks. Banks has not shown one bit of reason why he should be kept on an NFL roster. Returning a couple kicks to the 23 yard line, and a couple negative punt returns do not a 53 man roster make. Scooch over Banks. Plenty of capable return men on this squad, who could prolly outdo his production thusfar.

Probably Sellers. It's pretty sad when you're supposed to be a backup fullback and you can't get on the field when the starting fullback goes down. Yes it'll probably be an unglorious release, but so be it. I appreciate everything he's done for us over the years but all good things must come to an end.

Buchannon is definetly coming back. Im going with either Sellers, Banks, or Westbrook in that order. And ill add Hankerson just because i think we can get away with adding him to our PS, the guy just isnt read to play for us or any other team.

Sellers would be my guess.

So, Buchannon is eligible to rejoin the team today. We have up through next Monday to make a decision. Is he worth adding to the roster at the expense of one of our other DBs? To me, the answer is no. Thompson would be the obvious man out at CB, but I think he's showed too much promise to chance moving him to the practice squad I think the more important question would be, "is buchannon one of our best 53 players." While I think he is, I also can't think of anyone else on our roster i'd cut to make room for him. The next area we could look to cut someone is wide receiver, since we've got 7 of them already (Banks is not a receiver), but we kept all of those guys for a reason and nothings changed with any of them to make me think we should cut ties with one of them for Buchannon. Unless someone like Young or Armstrong is more injured than we know (IR-worthy), i honestly cant see us bringing buchannon back. What do you guys think?Here's what I do:

-Release Donte Stallworth
-Move Brandyn Thompson from a 46-man core player to a 53-man healthy inactive.

There's no way PB isn't one of our three best corners. He's probably the second best after Wilson. On one hand, Barnes needs time to develop. But on the other, he's been Kareem Moore-level dreadful.

I am dissappointed with banks so far. so I guess buchanon can take his spot for now as a kick/punt returner as well as a solid backup for our secondary

Stallworth or Sellers would be my move.. Stallworth has been inactive for 2 games, he was only up Sunday because Armstrong was hurt and he didn't have any targets (that I recall) and Sellers has ST value but that's all at this point.

PB comes in ahead of Barnes I'd have to think. Is it me or is he the stiffest 'skill position' runner we have? Doughty looks more fluid than Barnes!

To answer the question, one thing that we can do with Buchanon is to spell his name correctly.

After that, I agree with those who say that he needs to get on to the field and Sellers likely looks for a new job.

Good point. Banks has been pretty horrible in the return game. Since that's his only job, let NP take over and roll from there.
