Im not sold on another team signing him off our PS, but id rather keep him over Hankerson and Stallworth.... just not sure if i would want Hankerson over Stallworth. I honestly dont think a team would sign Hankerson off our PS.

Also im sold on Banks making the team. If we try and put him on IR he's not going to clear waivers. You can say that he's not a dedicated WR and that we’ll still keep 6 in addition to him but the truth is the spot has to come from somewhere, and WR is the most like source.

If we are forced to keep Paul then holding onto Hankerson would be a complete waste of a roster spot. Rarely if ever are we going to activate more than 5 wideouts especially with 2 very good receiving tight ends that are going to be normally activated in addition to Banks as adedicated KR. Honestly I think well only have 4 on most game days that Banks is also activated.

So Moss, Gafnee, Armstrong, Austin and Paul will be the regular rotation with the latter 3 also playing special teams when activated. So IF we keep 6 WR, in addition to a dedicated KR, whos the 6th player? Id personally take the gamble of adding Hankerson to our PS and keeping Stallworth. Stallworth could easily step in as our 4th WR and by mid season push for 3. Hankerson will be lucky to be active more than twice this year.
