Way too Early 53 Man Roster Guesstimate

[BoomerFan]

Sure why not.

I assume that we may try to hide a player or two on IR and Seth McLaughlin will likely start on IR as well.

There will be a real pre-season competition between Perine and Zack Moss, which Perine will win. Moss will be cut despite just having had his guaranteed money increased $500k.

Offense = 24

QB (2): Burrow, Browning
RB (3): Brown, Perine, Brooks
WR (6): Chase, Higgins, Iosivas, Jones, Williams, Burton
TE (3): Gesicki, Sample, Grandy
OT (4): Brown, Mims, Cochran, Rivers
G (4): Ford, Patrick, Volson, Fairchild
C (2): Karras, Lee
----------------

We'll keep 6 corners. Jalen Davis and Marco Wilson will fight for that final spot with Davis winning. Howard Cross III makes the roster. Also I think Carter's height and weight is similar enough to Njongmeta that 'Meta ends up back on the practice squad and we keep Shaka Heyward.

Defense = 26
DE (6): Hendrickson, Ossai, Murphy, Johnson, Stewart, Sample
DT (5): Hill, Slaton, Jenkins, Jackson, Cross III
LB (5): Wilson, Burks, Heyward, Knight, Carter
CB (6): CTB, Hill, Turner, Newton, Ivey, Davis
S (4): Stone, Battle, Anderson, Anthony
---------------
Special Teams = 3
PK: McPherson
P: Rehkow
LS: Adomitis
