[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 1002387, member: 7261"] I prefer the method they used last year, which was: [LIST] [*]August 16: cut from 90 to 85. [*]August 23: cut from 85 to 80. [*]August 30: cut from 80 to 53. [/LIST] By the 3rd week in August and 1 preseason game, I can't imagine that the Packers don't have at least 5 players that are in no way making the team. Same with a week and another game later. Might give those 160 cut players, on each date, an opportunity to get a tryout with another team. With this new system, 1184 players will be cut on Aug. 29th, with some (512) of them hoping to get signed to a teams practice squad. The other "negative" IMO, by the 3rd preseason game, there are only a handful of guys on the bubble, I suppose you can choose to play them more, but 90 guys on game day, is a lot of bodies to deal with. Question, does a team have to carry 90 players until Aug. 29th? Or can they start whittling down the roster sooner? [/QUOTE]
