I posted this on another forum, but didn't get too much response, so just posting it here
All of the players that we have under contract that couldn't contribute this year due to injury/depth chart status.
Spencer Ware - Looks like he has talent and just got IR'd early on thanks to a crowded roster
Anthony McCoy - He's a FA, but he may very well come back. Hasn't had a head coach other than Pete Carroll since high school. I think we're okay at TE if we have him and the other two, although I'd prefer to get someone like Lyerla late
Jeron Johnson - Didn't look as good this year as he did in 2012 but he should be back for solid depth at least
Jesse Williams - Looked god awful in preseason, but had a bum knee. Everyone said he should have gone a lot higher in the draft if it wasn't for the knee. If his knee recovered, perhaps he could come back at full strength this next year and be a contributor
Tharold Simon - Similar situation to Jesse Williams. Got drafted later than his talent suggest due to an injury and getting arrested the night of the draft. Was red-shirted last year, and has talent to potentially produce this next year.
Korey Toomer - If I remember correctly, this guy was improving during OTA's and training camp, but got injured early. Thus getting no chance to show off his skills. Am I wrong in remembering that this guy is an absolute beast athletically who went late in the draft due to being so raw to the position or the game of football?
Greg Scruggs - He was one of our better pass rushing DT's (Not that it's sayin' too much) in 2012. He was a rookie 7th round draft pick who if I remember correctly fell deep in the draft due to injury concern. We at least know from game action that this guy can contribute, but he'll have a hard time making the roster if we retain Bennent, McDaniels, and McDonald.
Benson Mayowa - I know he wasn't injured, but if he developed decently in practice last year, he may be able to fill in nicely for when we cut Chris Clemons.
Not saying that all of these guys will contribute, or anything like that, but they all have the potential to be players that contribute. Any one of these guys could potentially be the Walter Thurmond of this upcoming year.
