The teams must reduce their active rosters by Sunday, Aug. 30th @ 5:00 PM (CT).

What are your thoughts/hopes on possible trades, cuts/releases, etc. prior to Sunday?

Who is RB3 for this team?

Do Scott/Claiborne both make the 53?

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!

I think it's going to be Claiborne.

I think you'll have 5 RBs, including Max (FB): AJ, Mason, Claiborne, Scott, Maxie.

I'm thinking AJ, Mason, Claiborne, Bredeson (FB), & Scott to the PS.

Claiborne certainly does make the 53 both as RB3 and on special teams. You can even make a case for Zavier Scott behind as RB4 (I wouldn't).

Which Scott? Actually, I think all 3 make the squad. Jacob has certainly earned his spot. Jacobe has earned a spot because of draft position in spite of his back issues and Tavierre is right in the mix. That would change if Harry comes back.

Other predictions:

I think the team keeps Hekker and puts Thorson on PS with an International Exemption. That's close call though. Do you want a reliable kicker on a short term rental or do you make a move for the future. Thorson could end up somewhere else.

I think Rouse is gone.

Bartholomew over Yurosek.

Demmings makes the squad.
