Deus Irae

I thought those people who like to guess about the roster would like a thread for guessing the first round of cuts. Have at it....

Finding the first ten cuts to 75 isn't hard, at all. It's finding the next 22 that will be more difficult...

With as many injuries that happen now days, why don't they increase the roster to something like 60? Or even the practice squad number. BTW, how many can be on the practice squad?

No idea what you're talking about, NAF.

If there ends up being a surprise in the first group of cuts, I could see it being Stallworth.

8 players on the practice squad.

As for increasing the roster size i would imagine some of it is economics (that much more of an expense for owners mean that much less profit for them).

There may be a couple of side effects, where better teams would be able to keep more players; this would make it more difficult for other teams to improve. that goes against the NFL's parity agenda. While it is exciting to see good teams at the top, it also results in lower interest and attendance for those teams on the bottom.

Bill Belichick has also commented in the past about how bigger rosters equals more specialization. That means less versatility - something the Pats have been able to exploit to their benefit over the years.

It's one of those topics for which I can easily see both the positives and negatives.

Prime Suspects:

Rivera, and Koutouvides

Tarpinian survives this round to get whacked in the final cut

I think Belichick cuts a WR early to give that player a fighting chance to get signed by another team quickly.....that player is Stallworth.

Bolden is likely to be the first RB cut.

There is no way David Patten makes this team.
