Washington Football Team: Final 53-man roster prediction
By Jonathan Eig
Wide Receiver
Current roster: Terry McLaurin, Curtis Samuel, Adam Humphries, Dyami Brown, DeAndre Carter, Cam Sims, Antonio Gandy-Golden, Dax Milne, Isaiah Wright, Tony Brown
McLaurin, Samuel, Humphries and Dyami Brown are locks. I’m keeping Carter as my punt returner and gadget play guy. That leaves one or two more spots up for grabs. It probably comes down to a battle between Sims and Gandy-Golden.
They are similar receivers, but Sims is a better special teams player and showed some genuine receiving skills late last season. Gandy-Golden, who suffered from injuries last year, has not yet shown much. Sims is on my team. As for the others, there are too many other potential slot receivers to give a spot to Milne this season.
Wright is a bit of a forgotten man. He defied the odds last year and showed good versatility, but I don’t think he gets that chance this year. And the amazing thing about Tony Brown is that he keeps sticking around. Kelvin Harmon is gone. Steven Sims Jr is gone. But Tony Brown is still here. They obviously like something about him. Just not enough to make the roster.
Final roster WRs (6 or 7): McLaurin, Samuel, Humphries, D. Brown, Carter, Sims, and … maybe Gandy-Golden.
