It's easy, and only takes a few moments.Since the NFL reduced the size of rosters to a maximum of 80, why is the first cut still only to 75 (cut/decide on 5 players). Decisions on an additional 22 players is only 4 days later. Why not cut to something like 70, or only have one cut ? Is there some magic in these numbers/dates?
I think it has something to do with being able to fill out your roster with scrubs for the final pre-season game, but you're right, why can't they just make it one cut after the final preseason game? Seems like a hold-over number from when they had more players with NFL Europe exemptions.
