I agree w/ a lot of what you guys are saying. I do think chances are slim to none that we release Leonard. We kept Ehlinger around for 4 years, and Leonard has shown more potential that Ehlinger did.

I also agree that Mallory and Woods will definitely not survive the waiver wire, and Land might not as well. In order to keep both Mallory and Woods we'll have to either make some tough cuts or get creative. Same goes w/ Land. Here's a couple of ideas I have:

Release Tenuta then either sign him to the PS if he clears waivers or just outright re-sign him and place someone like Carlies, Ebukam, or Goodson on IR and designate them to return after they're healthy (Goodson will be tough to do unless we keep Herbert or Bentley). We'll need to open a roster spot when said IR player gets healthy, but we can cross that bridge when we come to it.

Release Johnson II knowing that either him or Smith is likely to make it to our PS. Could also re-sign Johnson after putting someone on IR as stated above. Ade Ade could be a candidate for this as well.

Also, I think Edwards makes the team as our 6th CB over Womack.

Edit: Just now read that there was a rules change in 2024 that allows teams to place up to 2 players on IR designated to return on cutdown day. I totally missed seeing that. Anyway, it makes things easier to keep both Mallory and Woods, Land, etc. by placing someone like Carlies on IR tomorrow.
