A flurry of moves sround camp opening.
7/19: Signed LB Demeyrius Knight. Placed TE Erick All on PUP/Active reserve list. Placed C Serh McLaughlin on NFI/Active list.
7/20. Waived G Tashawn Manning & released QB Logsn Woodside. Signed QB Desmond Ridder, DT McTelvin Agim, DT Teven Bryan, and C Andrew Raym.
7/22. Placed RB Zach Moss on the NFI/Active list (neck). Waived DT Dante Barnett.

I am projecting DT Bryan to the 53 with RB Moss going to NFI/Injured.
There may habe been a bit of dead money on Woodside or Barnett, I don't think Manning had any.
I have us at 92, but am assuming either the injury list guys (All, McLaughlin, Moss) and/or holdouts (Hendrickson, Stewart) do not count vs the 90.
----------------------
II. Current Projected Roster: Signed/Draft = 53
Italics denotes a player with a zero dead cap hit.
Offense = 24
QB (2): Burrow; Browning
RB (4): C. Brown; Perine, Brooks
WR (5): Chase, Higgins, Iosivas; C. Jones, Burton
TE (5): D. Sample; Gesicki, Hudson, Grandy, McLachlan
OT (4): O. Brown, Mims; Ford (T/G), Rivers (OT/G)
G (3): Patrick (G/C), Fairchild, Volson
C (2): Karras (C/G); Lee (C/T/G)
----------------
Defense = 26
DE (6): Hendrickson, Ossai; Stewart, Murphy, C. Sample (DE/DT), C. Johnson
DT (5): BJ Hill, Slaton; Jenkins; Jackson, Bryan.
LB (5): L. Wilson, Knight; Burks, Carter, Heyward
CB (6): CTB, D. Hill; Turner, Newton, Ivey, M. Wilson
S (4): Battle, Stone; Anderson, Anthony
---------------
Special Teams = 3
PK: McPherson
P: Rehkow
LS: Adomitis
=================
III. Injured Reserve = 3 (57)
A. PUP/Active (1)
1. Erick All, TE, (knee). Likely season-ending 2nd surgery.
B. NFI/Active (2):
1. Seth McLaughlin, C, knew (2024).
2. Zach Moss, RB, neck (2024)
----------
IV. Projected Practice Squad = 12 (69)
1. QB: Ridder
2. RB: Milton
3. WR: I. Williams
4. OT: Etienne (UDFA)
5. G: Kirkland (G/OT)
6. C: Raym
7. DE: I. Thomas
8. DT: R. Johnson III
9. DT: Agim
10. LB: Giles-Harris
11. LB: Njongmeta
12. CB: Jalen Davis, 4, $1,030,000, Zero (Fut)
13. Open
14. Open
15. Open
16. Open
---------------
We have 4 open spots. WR (Pryor) & S for sure. Probably another corner as well. Another TE/WR also likely. Or another S. How the 53 shakes out will obviously impact the PS choices. I am assuming some cover at every spot save special teams.
V. Signed, Projected Outside PS ATM = 3 (72)
1. OT: Cochran
2. G: Stueber
3. CB: L. Robinson
---------------------
VI. Signed to Future's Contracts, Projected Outside the PS = 10 (82)
These guys do technically take up roster spaces and cap space at the moment. But effectively they do not, as none of them have any Dead Cap hit if released. These are camp bodies, practice squad types with perhaps a dark horse candidate to make the 53 or two.
But it does give one a better idea if how much space we'd have with a full toster instead of only 44.
