it would appear that Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins have two of the three starting roles sewn up... Then, you have Jaylen Noel as a guy that could emerge as that fourth guy if he takes another step forward... Hutchinson will be in the last year of his rookie deal, so he could be easier to cut or trade at the end of camp.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalDepth Chart

Hutchinson faces crowded WR depth chart; could drop to fifth or be cut as final-year rookie.

Hutchinson faces significant roster competition for the fourth and fifth wide receiver spots. Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins appear to have two of the three starting roles locked; Tank Dell is likely the third if he returns to form post-knee injury; Jaylen Noel could emerge as the fourth guy if he takes another step forward; Lewis Bond (sixth-round pick with similar college production) and undrafted free agents like Jared Wayne present additional threats. Hutchinson could become the fifth wide receiver or be cut/traded at the end of camp since he is in the final year of his rookie deal, while Noel gets more rope as a second-year player.
