Here's your
@NFL roster math.

Teams must go from 90 to 53 by 4pm ET Tuesday.

*1,184 players will be released, waived, or put on IR/PUP lists.

*544 spots on practice squads (up to 17 per team) are potentially available post-waivers.

Important note as teams construct their initial 53-man rosters:NFL teams were informed that the NFLPA vetoed the revised Emergency 3rd Quarterback rule that would have allowed teams to elevate a bona fide QB from the practice squad an unlimited number of times.So, the rule reverted to the 2023 version, which says the emergency third QB must be on the 53-man roster, not an elevation.

Dang. Poor guy never had a chance this season!

Apparently Andy Reid has said that the starters will play the entire first half. He clearly sees it different than most. Thats after losing Hollywood last week for up to 6 weeks. Hasn’t phase him and his approach in the least.

Hard to argue with his resume and results.

BTW I’m not arguing either way just making light.

He’s old school

Let’s hope Aiyuk gets 90% of that deal.

In all likelihood he gets 102% of that deal.

He’s not a top-5 WR.

The #Lions are releasing WR Donovan Peoples-Jones, per sources.Acquired in a trade last year, DPJ found himself in a crowded receiver room but should have a chance to catch on with a new team in the coming days.

Zay Jones replacement?

Are we sure?

Yards: 7
YPC: 2
TD: T-18
First downs: 8
Success %: 3
Yards per target: 2
Air Yards/Rec: 3
Passer rating when targeted: 10 (3rd among receivers with >100 targets)

Of the six players above him on the yardage list, I'd only rather have Reek. He's the guy who makes Brock Purdy go (maybe). He had 5 more targets than Justin Jefferson and 150 yards and 2 TDs more than he did.

Based on the 2024 Fantasy ADP which I'm using as a rough heuristic for "top WR", I'd take him over anyone except Reek, Justin Jefferson, and Chase. I think he could make the argument that he's as good as anyone except Jefferson and Reek.

Jaguars’ Doug Pederson Climbing in Odds to be First Coach Fired - bestoffshoresportsbooks.org

The bloom came off the rose for Doug Pederson and the Jaguars last season, as they regressed in myriad categories and missed the playoffs after beginning with high expectations. The Texans are now the cream of the crop in the AFC South, and oddsmakers believe more spiraling could result in...

The way it used to be, and it really wasn't all that long ago, the starters would play the most in preseason game #3. Usually the entire first half and the first drive of the second. Then game 4, they would sit, maybe play one series. Things have really changed a lot. If coaches are not going to play first and even second string at all in preseason there is an even stronger argument for getting rid of it completely.

What an awful QB class that was.

This is a bit disingenuous no? I mean Jefferson missed 6-7 games IIRC

Yeah, but is he elite??

Eh nothing here screams top five receiver, but I've learned that ranking players is kind of a fool's errand because football is a team game.
