NFL Eliminates 75-Man Roster Cuts

Thoughts? I love it. Gives more time to guys like Jeremy Cash, Byrd, Boulware, Sanchez etc. to show their stuff. It will also give us more bodies for the meaningless final preseason game and that will hopefully prevent some injuries and make sure contributors are fresh and ready to roll for week 1.

I honestly cant find a circumstance where Byrd makes the team. CMC and C4 are better returners and they can also fill the slot void if need be. Hell wasn't Fred Ross a better punt returner in college than Byrd? If he is, which I'm pretty sure he was, that kinda wipes out any reason for Byrd to be on the roster unfortunately

I think this is going to be a great competition.

Only way Byrd makes it is to beat out Clay for return duties.

The thing about the early cuts was it gave guys a chance to catch on with another team before the frenzy of final cutdowns.

Now it'll be everybody scrambling at once.

Definitely a valid point from a players perspective.

That is a good point. Then again, if you were not good enough to survive the 75 man cut, then the odds of making the final 53 elsewhere are shaky at best. 

If the league would increase the final roster size and practice squad as others have suggested, then that may be a way to compensate.

I think this is a GOOD thing in terms of allowing the team to choose the best players.  More time to evaluate some of the guys on the bubble.  Also, I know that either in 2015 or 2016 (I think it was 2016) we ended up cutting a few promising guys due to injuries at a position, meaning we had to keep extra bodies for a position for the final preseason game.  Immediate sShort term needs at a position perhaps jeopardized being able to keep a promising player... that won't happen now.

      It's actually interesting you mention Richardson because I've seen it suggested here Bryce will have 500 or more rushing yards and 5-10 rushing touchdowns this year. And if big Anthony Richardson can get hurt carrying the rock what's that tell you about the practicality of thinking Bryce won't?

      I mean, I get why the media and some NFL and Carolina fans are saying that we don't have a real chance, but as many Huddlers should know, we won't know what we really have in this team until probably late September or early October at the earliest. And I'm not trying to be a homer, I'm just looking at things historically. Obviously I'm also looking at Bryce's "palatable" improvement the last half of last season (including being the catalyst for hanging with and nearly beating the Super Bowl participants), and the new additions that we've acquired overall. I'm also looking at the beginnings of a culture change--even if perceptibly subtle--to some degree indeed may take a foothold if things start falling the right way. But, overall, I'm still cognizant of the realization that things could just go south and that perhaps that Bryce could revert and flop, or that D & D (Dan and Dave) are not the answer, but I still am not ready to say "we're far away." Hell we could be close, albeit with growing pains, but even if we're on the course to bring legit in 2026, then guys like Ramsey would be welcome additions this season. That's just my take on it. I don't think we'll know that we're far away until some point in the season. If we can compete in the South...who knows?

      You guys remember when the narrative on here was that Bryce would be chronically injured in the NFL due to his size and Anthony Richardson would be super durable due to his? You remember when the narrative was that Bryce was physically incapable of throwing a ball further than 20 yards in the NFL? You remember “I’ll stop complaining when he throws for more than 200 yards and looks like an NFL quarterback”? You remember when 60 sacks was his fault and not the offensive line, slow WRs, and terrible scheme? Pepperidge Farm remembers. It will always be something for some people. Whatever insanity they come up with will be quickly dropped to move on to the next thing. Bryce could have an MVP Super Bowl winning season and they would complain that we can’t run the tush push with him. It will always be something.
