53 players is the regular season roster max. We currently have 53 total players under contract for 2021.

We still have to get rid of 1 more player by Sunday. We need to create a roster spot to sign Rosas for Sunday's game.

Our estimated cap by Spotrac is $1,596,517, so we're probably done making any signings that are above league minimum

QB - No problems here
-Jameis Winston - 2.5 mil (2021) #1
-Taysom Hill - 7.259 mil (2021) GADGET
-Trevor Siemian - 850 k (2021) #2
-Ian Book - 828 k (2024) #3

RB - No problems here
-Alvin Kamara - 5.0 mil (2025)
-Tony Jones Jr. - 660 k (2021)
-Dwayne Washington - 987 k (2021)

As far as I know. We probably would've heard something by now if he wasn't

Pretty big deal. I think we have a decent shot if he's out there

I think Dowell and Heath are the cuts. I think they were waiting for the rosters to settle before trying to move them to the PS. We play 2 LBs like 80% of the time, so we are carrying 5 additional LBs that will only play on ST or not dress out? I also think they may IR Pete if need be.

I have a feeling we're just going to IR a player or 2. The new rule is that they only have to be on IR for 3 weeks before you can activate them now. I think we're just going to take advantage of that rule.

It's pretty clear that we want all the players currently on the roster, so IR stash or PS stash are the likely outcomes.

It's being reported that his felony charges might be dropped, so he might just get a minimal suspension or nothing at all.

It's looking a lot better than it did at first.

I LOVE the new IR and PS rules from COVID. I hope they keep those during the future. How many times has Payton IRed a player with a 4 week injury because he needs the roster spot. They should treat it more like baseball does.

LB - Some might disagree, but no problems here imo. Gotta give credit to our LB coach here


who would disagree. We are incredibly deep at LB moreso than any other position.

I don't get 4 QB's on the 53.

Murray looks done to me.

Prentice? He can't be expected to do squat.

Garrett Griffin? Let Tayson play some FB or TE if your keeping four QB's.

It's b/c Taysom can't be the #2 QB & play his gadget role at the same time. They don't think Book is ready for #2 QB yet, but they can't cut him b/c he'll probably be poached.

Maybe. It won't take too long to figure out if this is true or not.

CSP likes him at FB over Armah, so he can't be too bad. We poached him for a reason. At least, I think we poached him. Not 100% sure.

Griffin will probably be cut after Trautman & Vannett are 100% healthy. Griffin probably isn't here for the long term.

I wouldn't classify Tuttle as unproven. He's solid body in the rotation. As close to a roster lock as an UDFA can be.

I guess 1 of the 2 cuts is Latavius Murray. Just 1 more to go.

I completely disagree that he’s a top FS in the NFL. Fair enough?
