Official 2026 Roster Movement Thread - Who's In and Who's Out?

Right now we'd have Taylor, Turner, Washington with Estrada and Thomas battling to fit in somewhere in there. Not sure it was ultra necessary with the other 3 ahead of them but I agree it's not bad to have depth.

They also have Cardenas, although I believe he followed his RB coach here who is now at Wisconsin (if memory serves)

Kerry Brown would be a greater loss than Koi in my opinion. He’s been much more consistent. Koi is overhyped when you consider all the missed tackles, being out of position, etc. He didn’t take a step forward this year at all. He is not an automatic start anywhere he would go… he wouldn’t start at a number of Big Ten schools. All that said, never want to see a kid leave, and at the same time don’t want to overpay for him either (whatever that means in this new environment)

I was thinking the same thing, but thought I might get banned if I posted it .

I also think the prevailing sentiment that he waltzes into the NFL after his junior season, comical, especially if he doesn’t take steps forward.

He’s a great athlete etc…. But he isn’t very big for an NFL safety; the pic of him and Asuma their senior year in their basketball units, showed one with a football physique and one without.

I’ll be interested to see if he’s going to put the extra time in the weight room to bulk up. Does he love football enough to do it?

A terrible year for Koi is still second team all big ten, he would start for every team in America. You can put him at Safety or nickel

If you consider nickel starting yes he could start almost anywhere

I doubt he considers being a nickel as starting

Cardenas left the team last summer.

Cardenas left the team before the season started

The battle to be RB1 after DT leaves is gonna be a bloodbath.

I'd put my initial money on Estrada if they can keep him, if it's not him, I don't think the RB1 is on the current roster.

Thomas must be the replacement for Fame. That's my hunch.

Thomas must be the replacement for Fame. That's my hunch.

Yeah he’ll be in the running for the number two spot. I wouldn’t be shocked if they even add another rb, we only have one proven rb. Bunch of unknowns after DT.
