It looks like we have a bunch of strong safety types with Amos, Jones-Quartey and Devin Bush. Houston-Carson and Deiondre Hall, if he doesn't play corner, look more like free safeties.
I think it will come down to Amos being pared with Bush or Jones-Quartey who I wouldn't count out.

Safety: Harold Jones-Quartey might start.
The arrivals of draft picks Deon Bush and DeAndre Houston-Carson meant the end for Antrel Rolle. But Harold Jones-Quartey’s strong finish to his rookie season also was a factor.
Similar to Bush and Houston-Carson, Jones-Quartey has a hard-hitting style that Fangio and secondary coach Ed Donatell want.
“He brings unusual toughness to the game,” Donatell said. “We like what we saw. He had a great finish to last season. For a rookie undrafted guy, it’s a real compliment to our personnel people that they can find a guy like that, that has those traits.”
Jones-Quartey made four starts last season after being a waiver-wire pick-up. He showed some playmaking promise in the Week 16 win against the Buccaneers, intercepting a pass, breaking up three and forcing a fumble. They were better numbers than Rolle had in seven starts.
“He’s very determined,” Donatell said. “I’m so excited to see him in Year 2 because those guys spike in Year 2. His biggest thing is he’s a determined guy [who] has very good toughness, and he’s built really good. He’s sturdy, tough and can take on punishment.”
