Ballard said 2 maybe 3 players are locked into a position and the rest is up for competition.

I figure it's Luck, Hilton and Doyle since he just signed a new contract.

 

Who else is safe with their roster spot in your opinion?

 LUCK, Hilton, J.Doyle, Gore (at least at the beginning of the season he'll start) Kelly, Mewhort, A.C , Davis, J.Hankins. AV, Hennessy, and Locke.

That's 12 starters off the bat right there with potentially more depending on injury situations.

Langford, Anderson could start IF healthy...Green will start for Geathers if he's not back from his injury (yes i thought about hooker but the coach's might have him on the field in sub packages/passing downs AT FIRST, and ease him into the speed/ mental part of the nfl) and last but not least  Q. Wilson should start unless he highly disappoints in TC and Preseason

It's coach speak.  It's easy to come up with more than two or three that's locked in.

 

Luck

Hilton

Doyle

Kelly

Mewhort

Castonzo

Gore

Davis

Hankins

and AV 

 

are all locked in.  If they say they aren't they are kidding themselves or flat out lying. Just a reminder that you can't take everything the coaches say as gosspal truth.

Definitely coach speak, there are several guys who I'd consider locked in. Most are on offense though, defense is where all the question marks are.

I thought he was talking specifically about the defense, but I may be wrong... If that were the case, then it would/should be a true statement.

 

Otherwise, yeah, just typical double speak that you get this time of year from all teams. 

 

 

That would make sense if he was speaking of the defense. A ton 

of players on offense appear to be locked in.

It is naive to say anyone is locked in unless it's gameday and they are healthy. 

Clearly they mean who they want to start if everyone is healthy.  Yes injuries will change that but that's not what they are talking about here.

Vontae Davis, he is the only other Sure thing we habe on the defensive side of the ball. I'll even go as far as to say Mewhort, Castonzo and Kelly also!

I would say on Defense Vontae and  Hooker are locked in. On offense I would say Luck, TY, Kelly, and Mewhort. Also Vinatieri isn't losing his spot. 

I would say Luck, TY, Kelly, Mewhort, AV, Vontae, Gore, and Hankins are all locks to be starters day 1.

      This has to be the worst take I've seen on this forum in a very long time!  I wish there was a thumb down or dislike button for your post.

      By stitches · Posted

      Kool-Aid McKinstry(41), Kamari Lassiter(no.42), Max Melton(43) all have their 3d year completely guaranteed too.    In general it seems like MItchell's contract is middle of the road type of contract. Some got more guaranteed, some less...

      *Update: AD Mitchell signed

      By Superman · Posted

      Details from OTC: https://overthecap.com/player/adonai-mitchell/11660   Four years, $7,386,086 total value, $4,817,431 fully guaranteed at signing (65.2%, no info about offsets) Signing bonus, $2,191,700 (prorated to $547,925/year) Salaries for 2024 ($795,000) and 2025 ($1,130,731) are fully guaranteed at signing Salary for 2026 ($1,466,462) partially guaranteed ($700,000) at signing (47.7%)   The #46 pick this year was Jonathon Brooks (coincidentally, the Colts original draft spot), to the Panthers. His contract is only guaranteed for the first two years, total of $4,914,107 guaranteed, which is 58.4% of the total value. At first, I thought this meant AD Mitchell's contract is pretty good, but apparently Brooks' contract is kind of bad. The next pick was Tyler Nubin (Giants), who has nearly all of his third year guaranteed. And last year, the #46 pick was Keion White (Patriots), and almost half of his third year was guaranteed. So Brooks seems to have undercut his guarantees. Some teams hold the line really well, so I was thinking maybe Carolina doesn't want guarantees in the third year, but they drafted Jonathan Mingo at #39 last year, and guaranteed almost half of his third year. Brooks probably could have done better if he had waited a few weeks.   The second round is kind of all over the place this year. There are still 11 guys unsigned, and a good number at the top and in the middle of the round. But all the way up at #40, Cooper DeJean (Eagles) only has $247k guaranteed in 2026, and his total percentage of guarantee is only 62.8%, so his contract isn't as favorable as Mitchell's. And then you have a few guys in the middle of the round -- like Jackson Powers-Johnson (Raiders, #44) and Edgerrin Cooper (Packers, #45) -- who have 2026 fully guaranteed (Cooper's is all but $76k).   But it's all going up. AD Mitchell has more favorable guarantees than Jonathan Taylor did when he was the #41 pick in 2020 (53.9%). Each draft class pushes it a little further than the previous class.
