So many options with Wade returning because he essentially can play every position in the secondary.  With that said, I'll give a shot at the 2-deep:

FC: Sevyn Banks, Cameron Brown

FS: Josh Proctor, Marcus Hooker

SS (or whatever they call it now): Amir Reip, Jayson Wint

BC: Shaun Wade, Tyreke Johnson (I have high hopes for Johnson stepping up this year.)

Nickel: Brown/Johnson

This is probably the most amateur 2-deep we will see so cut me some slack.  That said, my reasoning with Wade at BC, is that I think Banks and Brown are good enough to handle the FC; but having Wade at the boundary corner (a position of need now,) keeps him closer to most of the plays; including run support where he thrives. 

Ultimately, I think Wade should move to a full-time corner position (FC or BC) because I think we're thinner than the safety spots. If we struggle at FC, i have no doubt that Wade can handle that, as he has the best corner skills on the team.
