Quote:In your scenario we don't need Bernard Pierce. I agree that all five are in the top 53. If we could trade Pierce that would solve a problem by freeing up a slot at a more needed position (probably an extra ST linebacker or safety).


 

But I don't suggest cutting any of them. Keep all five if we can't make a trade.

RBs are a tough trade especially for someone that people don't view as dynamic or a potential workhorse type player.

 

They may keep all 5, but how many do you really need to provide adequate depth at the position?

 

I think at most you could have 4 active on game day and that would be having one designated as KR. You can't spread the touches out too much because RBs generally need quite a few touches to get their rhythm and be their most effective.

 

It's tough to let a good player go. I think we all expected we would be cutting some good players this year. Sometimes you have to do that in order not to handicap yourself at another position.

 

It's a positive sign for your roster though when you have to cut people due to the numbers game.
