What are the roster limits now? 105? It's hard to keep up...

But with bigger rosters, I like the idea of adding bounceback candidates. The only risks are that (1) it prevents us from landing better players, but at this stage in the cycle, that's not really possibly anymore, and (2) it impedes the development of the younger guys.

I had the same question. I've always tried to keep a running tracker of the roster throughout the years to see where they were at. Are we certain that they can carry more than 85 now? My tracker shows 87 scholarship guys after this pickup. Obviously could have missed a few moves here and there but it seems to be pretty close to accurate

Depending on special teams, we are still like under 85.

Not sure if that's better or worse. Hope he can bounce back to that 23 form though. I remember watching that bowl game miami played against them and he really stood out

Trying to think of LB's this happened to for comparison and only one I can think of is Thomas Davis, former Panthers LB. He tore the same ACL three times I believe. First surgery, they replaced his ACL with part of his hamstring tendon. The second time, they shaved off a piece of the patellar tendon in his right knee. The third time, they needed part of the patellar tendon from his left knee -- so he had surgery on both knees at once. Not sure if there is much data to confirm what you would rather have happen (ACL tear on each knee or same one twice) but I would assume that reoperating on already surgically altered parts is not ideal.

With that said, with my glasses of optimism on, Thomas Davis played for 9 years after this third ACL tear including multiple Pro Bowl seasons.

If this kid can be ‘23 Toure then we hit a home run. It’s a gamble but worth it.

Popo, Wes, Bonner and now Toure make me feel a whole lot better so that we don’t have to rely on our depth guys.

Really hoping Wiley, Pruitt and Hayes can show us something.
