Roster count - 45 likely, and not including draft picks

[waldoputty]

I counted 45 players that will likely be on the 53 next year, ignoring injuries and including Rico and Jaylon.
It does not include numerous fringe players on the roster like George Jeremiah, Ryan Seymour and James Morris.
This does not even include Damonte Moore the new FA DE who I consider fringe.
This is from Spotrac that btw already removed Free from the roster.

There will be 6 draft picks including 2 in the 7 round but missing 5th round.
Given the FO's thrifty ways, we can assume 6 or so will make it.
This assumes no UDFA.

That takes us to 51 players.
We will sign a backup QB who will replace Romo, so we are at 51 after signing a backup QB.

I highly doubt there would be many more signings.
hopefully a vet RT to take it to 52.
Perhaps replace Morris with McFadden eventually but take both to camp in case of injury.
that takes us to 53.

after that, at maximum, there would be a couple more to hedge for injuries.
if one of the CBs come back cheap, i can see 1 there.
may be another bargain DE.

We have 7 draft picks. Not 6.

i know, i assume one of the 7th rounders does not make it.

i was lazy with my english lol
i meant: i presume we will be keeping 6 draft picks

yes, we wont be keeping all the draft picks, plus we need to shed a few more players. Dallas either has a great plan in place, or is showing the league they are so crazy in the hope of putting fear into the other teams. Someone has complete control.

it is clear stephen has assumed complete control.
he is forsaking the present for the future.

old jerry would not have gone in after 13-3.
especially with dez's prime being very limited.
bet old jerry is torn up inside not able to really go for that superbowl.

Super Bowls are not won in March. They're won in April with the draft.

And why splurge on a DE or CB when the draft is loaded with them? Corner is obnoxiously deep with speedy coverage guys still going to be available well into day 3 like THIS GUY.

I told you that your calculations were fail because you discounted the 1-3 year deals from $1m to $4m AAV that Stephen loves to use. We have had 4 or so every year for the past 4 years now.

Including TWill we have about $10m AAV tied into 4 players signed the past couple of days. 3 of them will certainly contribute in Carroll, TWill, and Paea. Toss in another Steve-o special or two, a long, non-backloaded Martin extension, another McClay draft, and call it an offseason.

it is not reasonable to expect a rookie DE to dominate, especially at 28.
i believe that is historically based.

why splurge on a CB FA?
well, so you can focus your draft resources on DE?

further if you sign a top FA in one position, you would not go and sign a 3rd tier FA in the same position.
so the $10aav number goes down.

i dont think anyone seriously thought the team would be pursuing my calculated scenarios.
i did the calculation to prove that it could be done.

if you could afford to sign 3 top FA and a good RT without blowing up the cap, you would figure any idiot would realize that you can afford to sign 1-2 top FA and a good RT.

It is not reasonable to expect Nick Perry to dominate either. You want to quick fix but we need to just continue to draft and develop the players we have.

fine, i am not stuck on nick perry.
let say instead of the questionable CB from Philly, sign a better CB for more money, but put that issue to bed.

we had holes in DE, RT (they knew Free was leaving), CB, S and WR
after FA, we still have DE, RT, CB, S as priority in the draft.
if we could have put away CB and WR (and/or RT), then you only have DE, RT and S left.
lets leave S for later in the draft trusting Jones and Heath.
On the top of the draft, you still have to be concerned with DE, CB and RT.
