The NFL is a tough business when it comes to roster management. Often tabbed as the acronym “Not For Long”, players in the league who aren’t rising young talents or solidified stars in their prime have to be prepared for the worst at a moment’s notice, having the chance to be cut by their respective franchises due to salary cap constraints, other depth options to fill their spot, or to simply bring in another player to fill their roster spot.
Every offseason, we see team rosters expand upwards to 90 players only to be cut down to the newly implemented 55-man roster thanks to the new CBA that was signed this past offseason.
