Elder is somewhat in the same boat as Woodrow Hamilton. Remember, he was first drafted by former general manager Dave Gettleman so he doesn’t have that influence in the front office, so to speak. More importantly, Elder could be crowded out in the competition to replace Javien Elliott as the team’s starting slot cornerback. Rookies Jeremy Chinn and Troy Pride Jr. can both play that spot and are getting reps at multiple positions. There’s no chance he will beat either one of them out, so Elder will have to find another way to justify his roster spot.
