Churning the bottom of the roser here

Unfortunately most of our roster is the bottom of the roster. It's a multiyear process. Cant have it all year one. Nor would it make sense

That still leaves us at 89 players. Come on corner!

Is that counting Schofield?

Were we not sitting at 88 before today?  Schofield is 89 and the +2, -2 washed.  Unless there's another transaction I'm forgetting about, that should still be 89.

Crap, we are at 90.  I forgot about Colin Thompson the XFL TE.  He signed Monday with the first wave of our UDFAs.  So that's it unless someone gets cut.

Gotta believe they sign a vet CB by the time the season rolls around.... no way we roll out what is currently on the roster.

You were right the 1st time. we're officially at 88 not counting Schofield who is not yet officially signed.

I fully expect some more roster reshuffling now that Matt Rhule and his coaching staff have had time to analyze the roster.

Rhule's Rules rule.

Well Thomas is a phenomenal athlete. He has fantastic height/ length/ speed/ explosiveness. Can press too. Scored low on agility. Hasn't played the position long and was a developmental prospect coming out.

Yeah.  Ran a 4.4 at 189 lbs.  kid has 33 1/4 in arms.   Holy crap.  
 

80th and 90th percentile in everything but agility.

Crazy, I've counted the roster several different times now and keep getting 87.  Schofield is still not showing, so 88 unofficially.  There's more room for FAs.  Again, no rush on the CB.  I'd rather wait to get the right guy at the right price rather arbitrarily fill the roster at this dead point in the League year; just as long as it's done by the opening of camp.

If it comes down to cutting Davis (no cap hit--freeing up $3 million) and getting a quality corner, Davis needs to go.  It's not like he's going to get a ton of reps anyhow.
