Roster Cuts 10-15

  1. Brennen Beyer, LB
  2. Julian Wilson, SS
  3. Kavell Connor, LB
  4. Jarrell Broxton, OT
  5. Sam Brown, CB

We may be getting to a point where you stop and say “Who?” These players are far from the most recognizable Ravens. Brennen Beyer was an undrafted free agent out of Michigan in 2015. Beyer showed some potential in the preseason last year. Breyer and Connor are going to have trouble making this team. It’s just a numbers game. The Ravens have an overload of linebackers, even with the season ending injury of Bronson Kuafusi.

Julian Wilson was also an undrafted free agent from last season. He broke his leg in mini camp. It is good to see Wilson get another shot. He’s a quick defensive back from Oklahoma. I just don’t see Wilson making the team. Jarrell Broxton is a rookie offensive tackle trying to make the team as a rookie. He’s 6’3″ 322 pounds from Baylor. At the end of the day, Broxton just isn’t going to get past the first wave of cuts.

There you have it. These are my early predictions for the first wave of roster cuts. The preseason is a great chance for these names to prove me wrong. If they do that they can change their fate. The preseason is also very telling. It may just tell us what we already know. These players will have a hard time making the team.
