An interesting comment here from PFT:
INCREASE IN GAME-DAY ACTIVE LIST COULD HELP BROWNMike Felger of the Boston Herald and 890 ESPN Radio made a great point during our appearance with him on Thursday regarding the potential increase in the game-day active list from 45 to 47.
The change, if approved by owners at the 2007 Annual Meeting in Phoenix, might encourage teams to carry on the 53-man roster two more game-ready veterans, instead of using those spots on young players who aren't quite ready to get between the white lines.
For veteran receiver-returner-cornerback Troy Brown, who reportedly wants one more go with the wideout-wild Patriots, those extra two game-day spots could be the difference between the team saying "no, thanks" and "hell, yeah."
The change also could justify more teams carrying a kickoff specialist or a long snapper. Or, in the case of the Cowboys, a holder.
Romo jokes aside, I think this is definitely a good idea, whether Brown comes back or not. [It also increases the possibility of the Pats drafting certain players that some of us here are big on. ]
