While I think McKinley has looked fine when he has played, he was hardly stuck out .. We are deep at WR where you can through a blanket over the top 6 guys even if you include McKinley in that group. In addition, they are high on two incoming freshmen (Johnson and Watts).
I believe we are currently at least +3 (or is it +4 with the added rb?) on scholarships. In short, it is prime territory for some roster trimming. The most "acceptable" way to trim the roster is to limit the 5th years you hand out. If Kevin Austin is reinstated, I think McKinley is off to the next chapter in his life.
