Cuts coming soon

[Hawkeye]

Rosters have to be down to 80 by August 16th but teams have the option of reducing their rosters anytime after July 28th.  I could be off  (I'm too lazy to double check) but I think the Eagles are currently at 85, including Alshon who will go on the PUP list.  So 4 guys have to go in the next couple of weeks.  

What say you?

I hear other teams will be cutting players too.

Done.

Just wait until they have to cut down under the 2021 cap, yikes...

What is the final cut down number for the season, because of if it’s the normal numbers then the NFL will have a problem.

I think the final roster remains at 53 but the practice squad has been expanded from 10 to 12.

Roster size remains 53 but recently increased practice squad to 16.

And the PS allows for 3 veterans and players to be activated and deactivated back and forth as many times as necessary this year, I think.

Actually up to 6 vets (regardless of experience).

Practice squads increasing from 12 to 16 where teams can put 6 vets (no matter exp) on it for 2020. Will be interesting to see if teams can protect those players or if they're free to move like always.
