  • 31 locks
  • 11 comfortable
  • 10 middle-ground
  • 12 on the bubble
  • 11 gone

Outside of the 31 locks — which is a good sign to have so many players set — it’s a balanced list. The other four tiers are within two total players of one another, and there were no edits done to make that happen.

With the roster currently at 75 players, that means 22 will have to be released. With 12 “on the bubble” and 11 “gone”, that’s 23. So if the team poached completely from those lists, I don’t think any fans would have a problem with any of those players being let go.

But there may be some players from the middle-ground, or possibly even the comfortable tier, released. So it’ll be interesting to see how this list differs from the cuts that are eventually made.

Of course, this is completely subjective, so let us know where you disagree.
