There amy be still a couple of open issues, specifically at TE. However, we should recognize that we play football with 45 players.
The rest are emergency backups, inactives, developmental players, practice squad players and even shadow squad players. We all have our binkies. We all have our favorites. But in the end, how much does it matter who makes the final eight? Anyone in contention is fine with me. Others will be on the Practice Squad. From week to week it matters little whether a player is on the active squad or on the Practice Squad being paid active squad money.
I think that we would be ready to go on Game One with the following squad. The weakness (if any) is on Special Teams. That is to be expected since some of the final eight roster players will make their mark by playing special teams.
