Silverstein reviews Whitehead's dismissal and concludes discipline was a part of it, but a shrinking DB corp was also a problem, especially at safety. Playing dumb is no way to keep a roster spot when the numbers are against your spot and they are deep at your skill set.
1. King (hammy) is hurt and so is Brice (knee). King considered not likely to play this week, so Tramontana might have to go back to corner. Still need a deep safety and they are thin there even if Brice plays.
2. Next two guys up, the Joshes, can fill in for Whitehead inside (ILB and slot corner) but not deep safety.
3. Because of #2, Whitehead was most expendable. He is not considered a true deep safety, even if he was the smartest guy back there.
4. Waivers provided an actual safety, Ibraheim Campbell, who can play deep and played for Pettine in Cleveland.
5. PS could bolster the CB position from a depth standpoint, with Will Redmond (5-11, 186 and supposed 4.4 speed) off the PS.
