Every summer, every coach on every NFL team says cutting the roster from 90 to 53 players will be difficult.
They’re half right.
It will be tough – nobody likes to cut a player. But it won’t be tough – only a handful of decisions require strategic angst.
The Jaguars have turned over 31.5 percent of their roster since last season ended (28 of 89 players). On paper, they have more talent, which means the final half-dozen spots is a larger guess.
For the fourth straight year, the Times-Union is attempting to predict how the Jaguars’ 53-man roster will look like after the final cut in early September.
