    I just saw on TV during the Packers/Browns game that it's 75 players (last week during the first Dolphins game it also said 75 players)... but according to ESPN it's 80 players.

    Who is correct?

    you make the call...

    see, last year, due to the lockout, they bumped it to 80 players as it was supposed to be 75 players... I'm guessing ESPN just hasn't figured that out. I think it's 75... ****ers.

    I for one, want 7/11 on this football team. Screw making him block, make he a plain ol WR and start chucking him the ball.

    7/11 is a plain ol WR. Your wish is granted!

    You're think about Les Brown who can't block but can catch.

    Chris Hogan is 7/11.

    I know, all us white guys look the same.

    i see what the OP is talking about with the greenbay game because theyre replaying it right now. not only were the announcers talking about it but they showed it on the screen. but the first date is different from what you posted. they showed it was august 24th not the 28th.
    i am not saying you arent right because i dont know but they definitely showed aug 24th for the 75 player deadline.

    to me, the 24th makes more sense as teams would have 7 days to cut down to 53 instead of just 3 days

    I just assumed the NFL would know their own rules. Who knows, maybe they don't.

    It's a long ways away, still two preseason games... But guessing:

    #26 Tyrell Johnson S
    #34 Marcus Thigpen RB
    #35 Jerome Messam RB
    #36 Quinten Lawrence S
    #38 Kevyn Scott DB
    #43 Vincent Agnew CB
    #45 Cameron Collins LB
    #47 Trenton Hughes CB
    #48 Shelly Lyons LB
    #61 Will Barker T
    #63 Chandler Burden OL
    #66 Chas Alecxih DT
    #67 Andrew McDonald T
    #70 Jarrell Root DE
    #89 Josh Linam LB

    That was actually harder than I thought it was going to be...

    I don't see McDonald not lasting until the last cuts.

    That one just stood out most.

    I don't think I'd cut the same 14, but other than maybe McDonald, I'd likely cut all of them you have listed eventually so it doesn't matter much.

    Edit: I definitely wouldn't cut Lawrence in the 1st cuts either, and maybe not 2nd.

    Yeah, I haven't noticed CB's and S's that far down on the depth chart yet. Something else I need to watch over the next two games.
