Default Reiss' Latest 53 projection (54 actually)

http://www.boston.com/sports/footbal...r_part_ii.html

4 QBs and 6 WRs and yet still plenty of room for 9 LBs, and 9 OL.

I keep reading this thinking, SOMEBODY had to not make the team, so who?!

Andrews is there, Tory James is not.
Lua to IR leaving Mills as the tough cut. I had Mills on the edge already and only 3 QBs.

Does one extra roster spot clear up that much space?

4 QBs is just plain unnecessary.

Unless they really see something in the youngest guy, like they did when they carried Brady as the 4th QB in 2000.

Samuel's exemption expires on Saturday (don't recall the source).

Absosmurfly no way there are 4 QBs on this roster. If the team decides to keep Guts, they will waive Vinny.

When they did that, they didn't even carry 53 players. It won't happen.

I see no need to carry Vinny nor Gutierrez. Vinny can shadow no problem throughout the year and I can't see a problem running Gut thru waivers and onto the PS.

If K Brady is hurting then I could see keeping Rivers. Otherwise, he's not that good a player that he'll be at risk of being scooped up by another team once 700 or so players hit the waiver wire. Even if he were ther are many other Rivers' out there. If Brady is soon to be healthy I'd much rather keep Mills over Rivers.

The rest of the list looks fine to me though I'd probably keep Wesley over Mitchell and I might like to see S Thomas somewhere on the roster.

I read somewhere else it was a 2 week option. Teams don't always utilize it because they decide to play the player. But Seattle got a 3 week exemption for Deion last year I believe.

I really hate to see them risk losing Gutierrez to one of the surprising number of teams who don't have a legit #2 let alone a worthwhile developmental #3. We haven't had a developmental QB stick even on the PS here in too long. And while Vinny eventually moved the ball last night, that was against a 3rd string D. When Gutierrez does that I'm impressed. That Vinny can still manage that doesn't impress me. Cassel is the #2. Vinny is what he is - the dire emergency #3 QB and all around great guy who must have compromising pictures of Bill stashed away... Gutierrez could learn and develop in that slot, all Vinny can do is occupy it. Seems like a waste when Vinny would only be a long distance phone call away.

Cassel is gone soon -- maybe we turn this into a draft pick factory like Green Bay did with the guys who were behind Favre.

I think Testaverde gets cut with a wink and a nod.

EDIT: I also think Wesley might be a surprise over Mel Mitchell and CJ Jones over another spot.
