NEW YORK -- The NFL has expanded rosters for the offseason and preseason to 90 players.

Previously, the limit was 80, but the league's Management Council voted to increase it Monday. The first cutdown, in late August, will be to 75, with the final cut after the last of four preseason games bringing rosters to 53.

Only the 51 highest-paid players count toward the salary cap.

The 90 players will include all active, inactive, practice squad, exempt and reserve list players, plus unsigned draft choices and franchise-tagged free agents.

More people to look at in camp I guess.

Glad to hear it.

[Mother Grabber]

320 more mediocre players to have a summer job.

more guys look at, you never know what you might find.

Heartache in August for 320 more people but I'm sure 6 or 7 will turn it into a Jordan Senn experience and one every two years will make it into a Victor Cruz experience.

[KendrickPanther]

I'm not sure how I feel about this. Better when guys pickup short term injuries but fewer reps for people with a real chance.

[The Special One]

Good, we currenlty have a whopping 71 players on our roster.

[Gallagher]

320 more mediocre players to have a summer job.

[Ivan The Awesome]

Sweet, time to find the diamond in the rough.

[tondi]

Just means we will see more of the nobodies and less of the real players during preseason games. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

[KillerKat]

It's just one step closer to expanding the roster limit I hope.

[Dex]

Yayyy

I would prefer it to be less not more. The more players you have, the more you limit their opportunities to showcase their skills.
