It was clearly an accounting decision to save money. I'm sure it's expensive housing all those players, feeding them premium food, paying their transportation costs, paying their training camp salaries, etc. But I have to think it's minuscule compared to the overall cost of running a team for an NFL season.

But these days "efficiencies" reign supreme. And even a 0.4% cost reduction looks good on the resume.

Agreed, but why not leave the count open to 85 or the old 87... and allow the teams to dictate how many they bring in.

At the end of the day, I think maybe it was more insurance related in extending more risk to having to IR a youngster. But still.. I think it should be a team decision..

Ah-ha! I meant to write "insurance on the rookies and free agents" as well, but somehow that slipped by my fingers.

I totally agree, though. I think it should be left up to the teams. Even better than a fixed roster size, why not give teams a sort of training camp salary cap, under which they can bring in as many players as they can fit within the cap? That would reward good stewardship of resources, though some might object it would allow scouts to be lazier by substituting quantity for quality.

For that matter, I don't really agree with the 53-man roster. We have a salary cap. Why not let teams do whatever they want with it? If they want to field a highly paid 44-man roster or a lower paid 65-man roster, why not let them?
