If Geoff Hobson has taught me anything about cap space then this means we'll be fielding a partial roster this year.
We'll probably have to forfeit at least 3 draft picks due to not having enougy in our rookie pool to cover a complete draft class.
And as the season goes on, and we lose guys to injury, things will get even more interesting. I suspect we will be unable to sign replacements and/or be unable to promote practice squad players.
What this means is we're going to be looking at dressing only about 48 guys come December. And we'll sse a number of grievances filed after the season in regards to unpaid settlements and performance bonuses.
It would be really easy to rip the team for forgetting the simple math of this. And perhaps Hobson could've relayed this better had he not be quarantined because of Covid-19. But I get what they're trying to do here. They need to sell tickets.
Can we win with 45 guys? I think we can. Will it sucks not having picks in rounds 4-7? Yeah, but I think we'll be ok. Even if the team is forced to file bancrupcy after the season I think it's all worth it. We're trying something no other team has done before. If we're successfull I could see more teams trying this!
