Why so many bottom of the roster moves?
OK, I hear a lot of people complaining about this and it got me thinking.
Each player that we bring in, yet cut before the next week’s game, doesn’t count against our cap. It only counts if they get a gamecheck. So why not bring in multiple players at multiple positions and get a good look at them in practice with pads on? We can determine if they are a fit for us or not, and they’ll likely still be available to re-sign the following week if we like what we see but don’t want that cap hit of a game day check. It’s a great way to not only kick the tires, but drive it for a few days, turn it in, then drive it for a few more days the following week. If injuries occur and we need to make a move, then we re-sign the guy (or the other 2 or 3 that we looked at) to fill in. It’s actually quite brilliant. |
