Well we had 2 FB and like 3 TEs last year. I don't see a problem going with 1 FB and/or 2 TE to make room somewhere else. Our bottom of roster WRs mostly all can contribute on ST too.

Key to making this roster is versatility, especially with ST.

Guys I never said it was impossible. I said I can't imagine it happening.

The likelihood of WR #7 being a better player than the other final 24th, 25th or 26th man on the offense is pretty remote. Not to mention that he would most likely be inactive most weeks. It is just as easy to stash him on the PS.

I'm not convinced GB won't go with only 5 WR's.

We also don't really need to keep 3 QBs on the roster this year either as the quality of our 3rd QB is really no better than any street QB we could get at any time. There is always the chance of a UDFA surprising us at some other position on the offense but barring that and knowing what we currently know about the players 7wr just doesn't seem like a wild idea to me.

Either way, someone will very likely get hurt at some point.

Monty and Jordy did just have some major injuries, and Abby has a history. Even though I think the possibility of 7 exists, I sense it won't even be an issue by Jacksonville.

Zero2Cool (19h) : Didn't they have a thing in 2023 for Jimmy's ring of honor? I swear I saw it

beast (20h) : Though if they're legitimately trying to re-sign MM, then it makes sense.

beast (20h) : Jerry Jones still hasn't put Jimmy Johnson in the Ring of Honor, but he's in the NFL's Hall of Fame, Jones is petty

Mucky Tundra (8-Jan) : Unless the Cowboys are planning an extension, seems kinda petty

beast (8-Jan) : Cowboys denied Bears request

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : From what I'm reading, MM is under contract through the 14th of January; after that he's free game

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I was not hoping for that. It messes up the page lol

beast (6-Jan) : Thank you, and I was really opening we were going to get 4 or more tied for the top 3

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Oh so the refs do know what intentional grounding is

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : what the hell was that Goff?! Not much pressure and he just air mails it to Harrison

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : They really need to to get rid of the auto first down for illegal contact

Martha Careful (6-Jan) : watching the Vikings and Lions it's understandable why they swept the Packers. So much better product

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Even when GB got pressure he was throwing darts; vs no pressure on that last pass he just air mails an open guy

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : didn't have guys in his face ... pressure makes difference

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Where was this Darnold vs GB?

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : BALL DON'T LIE

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : how was that not a safety? Goff throws it at an offensive lineman

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero, I thought that was a given! ;)

Mucky Tundra (6-Jan) : Zero I looked through earlier and noticed the same thing. Bonkers year. I just wonder if beast put any money on games

Zero2Cool (6-Jan) : I'm hoping for BLOODBATH. Pummel one another.
