Roster was at 91, so they needed to get to 90 as the UDFAs officially signed their deals.

Yeah...but odd to sign him at all without giving him a chance.

Now will some other team take Wilsons old weapon (Fells)? Yes.

Makes sense

We still have FIVE more TE's on the roster. Hardly thin.

Quantity does not equal quality.

Except that it doesn't. The drafted rookies don't count against the roster until they sign their contracts, which I don't think any have yet . . .

It wouldn't be too surprising to start to see many of these guys sign deals. With the new CBA there isn't a lot of wiggle room to negotiate these deals and the further back you are drafted, the less room there is, so with our not having a first rounder, I think we'll sign our rookies relatively quickly.
The 90-man roster will include active, inactive, practice-squad, exempt and reserve-list players. It also will house unsigned draft choices and franchise free agents, per Aiello.
Hawkstorian wrote:Drafted players DO count against the 90 man now. That started last year. It's also the reason they are signing so early. In the past teams would put off signing picks because it was a way of have extra players before training camp. Not anymore.
The hard rookie scale is another reason picks are signing in May, but really most picks had a hard scale anyway.
Here's an article that supports that from NFL.Com: http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d8 ... 90-playersThe 90-man roster will include active, inactive, practice-squad, exempt and reserve-list players. It also will house unsigned draft choices and franchise free agents, per Aiello.
