If the team can take more players, your chances of making the team go up or down?
What I'm gathering is that you're saying that since the numbers of players on the team go up, your chance of making that team go down. I don't understand that.

Factors can go both ways.
Yes, a roster increase would increase the amount of chances you have to make the team.
But it also increases the amount of people who can come to camp and prove they are better than you, which can decrease your odds.
Not every factor is 100% beneficial or harmful.
Not every player is 100% interchangeable with another. Teams carry differing amounts at each position.
I'll add that my guess is the 53 man roster is to protect compensation. The camp cut numbers are to protect jobs.
Increase camp rosters increases competition and lowers odds of making 53 man. Increasing 53 man decreases compensation.
Not everyone is Tom Brady expecting to sail through.
