re: Why does the 53 man roster limit exist in NFL?

I agree that players overall will want more spots. But that isn't a mutually exclusive situation. These are all competing interests.
A player who is a veteran would want camp rosters to go from 90 to 60 to increase his odds of making the 53 again.
A player who didn't make the 53 would want that raised to 55.
The Union would want the rosters to increase to increase bargaining power against the NFL, to increase salary.
But the Union would also probably be AGAINST adding 10 teams and having to split revenue among more players, lowering compensation.
You don't have to be all in on one factor.

Most vets probably want to shrink the rosters, because less positions means more money and more stability. NFL teams will be less likely to take chances on low drafted rookies and UDFAs as the opportunity cost of missing out on a viable player for someone that may be viable increases.
