And here's a quick 53-man projection, if you prefer:
QB: Jones, Glennon
RB: Barkley, Booker, Brightwell, Penny
WR: Golladay, Shepard, Slayton, Toney, Ross, Pettis
TE: Engram, Rudolph, Smith, Toilolo
OL: Thomas, Lemieux, Gates, Hernandez, Peart, Solder, Fulton, Harrison, Murphy
DL: Williams, Lawrence, Shelton, Odenigbo, Hill, Johnson
OLB: Ojulari, Carter, Smith, Anderson, Coughlin, Brown
ILB: Martinez, Crowder, Ragland
CB: Bradberry, Jackson, Robinson, Holmes, Yiadom, Williams
S: Ryan, Peppers, McKinney, Love
ST: Gano, Dixon, Kreiter
I'd keep him over either Ross or Pettis.
I have my doubts Carter will be physically able to at least start the season though.
Most excited/hopeful I’ve been to start a season for 10 years

Thought the same exact thing... drop Murphy, go get Trai Turner, plug him in at RG.
I agree that one of them is gone.
I like that he has Yiadom sticking as I believe he will in that last corner spot as well.
I see really solid depth in the secondary and along the OL although the former has more talent throughout.
Camp can't get here soon enough.
Also I said this when he was drafted but it wouldn’t surprise me if Coughlin is moved to ILB.
a) we aren't carrying 3-4 non NFL-worthy players simply because we don't have depth, and
b) we're gonna be cutting guys who have legit talent at a bunch of spots and
c) we're not all wondering what guys we'll pick up on waivers after cut down day.
TE: C. Hikutini
WR: A. Mack, C. Board
OL: C. Slade
DL: R. McIntosh, N. Lalos
LB: O. Ximines, T. Brunson
DB: S. Beal, Q. Wilson, M. Harper, M. Hartage
Of course, there will be some shuffling at the bottom as injuries hit and the waiver wire starts buzzing.
I imagine Beal has a chance to battle Yiadom for the last outside corner spot. Rodarius Williams probably makes it for specials, but he might start out on the practice squad, especially if Chris Milton or Joshua Kalu makes some plays.
Agreed. No way in hell am I getting rid of Murphy for Turner. If you talk about Ross or Pettis then that is a good conversation.
And I think it's pretty optimistic to have Carter on the initial roster (feels like a strong possibility of PUP).
Also, I posted this on another thread that may not be seen....The Eagles were very upset at losing a possible player they coveted in round 3. Some thought it was McNeill, but word has come out that the player they coveted was our AARON ROBINSON. Read this...
*****The story up here is that it wasn't McNeill, it was Robinson, the CB from UCF. Eagles had a clear need at CB and the scouts loved Robinson. When the Eagles traded down, the Giants slid in and took Robinson at 71.*****
Payback suckers!

Where did you get that from? I need to share that.
I don't know the answer to that but it was always 53. You can get to 55 but bringing up PS players as long as you dressed 8 OL on game day and the particular PS player hasn't been brought up more than like 4 times.
Toney makes a 4th RB unnecessary
I mean they draft him as a 3rd Rd. compensatory pick,
and he can't stay healthy, plays a few games finally.
Then he decides to opt out last year. I know it's a personal
choice, but had an opportunity for playing time.
They were obviously not deep at CB last year, and sometimes
you just don't get another opportunity.
He is going to have to blow the coaching staff away to make this team now. The 53 man projection looks pretty good,
don't think you need 4 TE's though. With Rudolph here,
don't think you need Kaden Smith here, he adds very little.
I have my doubts Carter will be physically able to at least start the season though.
As a Uconn Huskie fan we watched our PF Akok Akok have the same injury and return this year as a shell of himself, clearly not fully healthy the entire season.
I wouldn't be shocked to see carter start the season on PUP

I’m very aware of AJackson’s injury last year so it’s nice to have a decent Plan B. No offense meant to Yiadon or Lewis, they tried.

You are going to laugh...a. Ownoys message board...
Aaron Robinson - ( New Window )
I expect a few similar upgrades at LB and OL as time goes on.
I have my doubts Carter will be physically able to at least start the season though.
I agree. I have a feeling XMan stays and Carter goes to PUP (at least). I can't imagine he is back from a complete Achilles rupture.
He didn't earn a shirt the entire season last year. I don't see how be can be considered anything other than a guy on the roster bubble. I can easily see him being the sort of player that gets cut in final cutdowns so that an IR guy can be kept initially (because the only way a player who gets injured in camp can be designated to return is if he makes the final 53 and then goes on IR).
Isn't Anderson an ILB? I though I read he usually played inside? Wrong?
Someone talk to me about McIntosh? Is he surely a cut?
I think Carter will be either PUP or IR and X will stick. If Anderson is listed as an OLB, then I put Brunson as an additional ILB because... only 3 ILB? But on my roster, that puts me a man over so IDK which LB I'd drop. Whoever loses in training camp I guess. Coughlin?
I wonder if we can trade one or two LB for a young backup guard?

Correct. He's got a mountain to climb, right behind Beal's even taller mountain.
Now can they come together as a team and put up 10 wins and take the NFCE...

The 55 was just for last year?
I don't know the answer to that but it was always 53. You can get to 55 but bringing up PS players as long as you dressed 8 OL on game day and the particular PS player hasn't been brought up more than like 4 times.
That was the expansion of the game day roster from 45 to 47. The team rosters went from 53 to 55 last year as well.

Just figured out the 53 to 55 roster size is tied to the 45 to 47 game day expansion. Thanks Robbie.
I think the last WR position has to be the best special teams player of the group. I'm curious if that person is actually Sills who seemed to be ahead of everyone else last year pre camp injury, if he hasn't lost a step.

I thought one of the selling points to the players on going to the expanded schedule was an increase in the roster size. I'd be surprised if they went back to 53.

WR: A. Mack, C. Board
OL: C. Slade
DL: R. McIntosh, N. Lalos

Does Beale have ANY trade value at this point?
If a team in need of DBs doesn't want to take a chance of battling a few other teams if he is cut, would they give a 6th or seventh to bring him to camp to see if he still has potential?
The freaking salary cap is enough of a PITA to work, the in season roster management should be extra flexible.
