I think we will retain Ayers but won't be easy

Might end up being the IR for Ayers (hey, homophone), until injury opens up a spot.  Unless he beats out the NAT LB's in camp dramatically, or we get a trade offer that includes NAT LB(s)...

Yes, his spot is here for his ST play, and Miller, MOS, Walters and Miller all being ST pros/gurus appreciate his skills.  So, if they can find a way to keep him, he will be here.
Unabashed positron.  Blue koolaid in my fridge.  I wear my blue sunglasses at night.  Homer, d'oh.

It'll have to be PR stashes for the junior players, or even finding whatever booboo-du-jour ails a guy and plunking him on the 6G (full pay, and no SMS hit).

I agree that it's all harder when it's an uber-vet guy like Kyrie or JSK, and that's why we may see an outright cut.  I really don't think Griffin or (especially) Woodbey will be upset at spending some games on the PR, though./quote]

Woodbey might agree to PR time but he would be an attractive target for other teams to approach.

I believe the CFL had their hands slapped by the insurance industry about a decade ago for abusing the 6 game IR, there are a number of guard rails in place to prevent teams from faking long-term injuries.

Good points. He'd certainly make the AR if not for ratio and roster size rules. This will be something to watch during TC.

I was also wondering whether a trade comes into play for somebody but not necessarily Ayers. Nothing is really off the table.
One game at a time.

With the number of assets at LB we could trade for a pick maybe? What other position would you target? American or Canadian?
