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.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
