I'd task you with looking at the Roster transition thread and still coming to the same conclusion. 52 players between 2009 and 2010 final rosters are no longer in the league. 35 of them from the final Zorn roster. So you are saying that 35 of our players have no other place in the NFL? As I said in another thread, the roster remake is about 30% done but you still have to field a 53 man roster. We are much better off, long term, than we were 24 months ago.

In fairness to Gtripp, the question is not whether "35 of our [current] players have no other place in the NFL". Rather, it is, "In two years, will 35 players on our current roster, be out of the league entirely?" -
i.e. Has MS/BA created a roster that will have the future depth that Zorn's final roster lacked?
As do you, I think they have and believe that the current all-inclusive roster contains
at least 20-25 and maybe as many as 30-35 players that will
be here on opening day in 2013.
