Joemailman's Fearless Stab At The 53 Man Roster - Post Family Night Version

[Joemailman]

Perillo, or Backman, or Henry. Two of em can stay until Quarless comes back from suspension.

I don't have a strong sense of whether Backman is ready yet this year, but just from watching him move and catch I think he has some upside potential.

Without knowing much, I'd go with Backman on the 53 and let Perillo and Henry go. They're not good enough/won't contribute enough on ST or at TE to keep over what Ripkowski or Kuhn bring this year IMO.

Is it a given that Quarless will be suspended this year? Or will the NFL wait until a verdict is reached?

[Guiness]

I'd assume quarless will get a game or more. Goodell is just a little preoccupied right now, but he'll turn his attention to him eventually. Stupid that the team doesn't know for sure what will happen with him, the suspension, if it comes could be just about anything.

this doesn't really have anything to do with the final 53, but did anyone else notice how insanely tall adrian hubbard is?

they showed one shot of the huddle and he was by far the tallest guy in there, by about a half a foot

I'm assuming it's a given with the gun infraction but that could be wrong. I haven't looked but there's precedent for that isn't there? It was Burress that shot himself in the leg right? His was a felony in NY (I think) so that was much more serious legally but similar I'd say from the NFL's perspective. He was out for a long time due to his jail sentence I think. Not sure what action the league actually took.

And I'm not sure about timing either but they may wait until the verdict as well. I don't think they have to wait but if they haven't acted yet it would appear they will. Not sure of the precedent on that either. When does this go to court anyway?

Bottom line is I don't have a clue Joe. I'm sure no-one's surprised about that...

I just looked at the Packers' website and they list Hubbard at 6'6"! Peppers is the tallest at 6'7".

yeah, peppers wasn't in the huddle at the time. i think it was hubbard and a bunch of 6-1 and under guys

he looked massive

both guys are huge for LB's

[Harlan Huckleby]

I think red is sweet on Hubbard. "Tall", "dark", "huge".

It's fine, no need to confirm or deny. We all get awe struck from time to time.

I believe Red said he looked massive.

Richardson
ST (3) Crosby, Masthay, Goode
Suspended: Guion, Jones

Close probably, but I think Guion and Jones have to be on the 53, which could mean losing a player to another team on the DL before we can adjust. I think Ripkowski doesn't make the team, but add White as a 6th receiver. TE is a complete toss up after Rodgers and Q. I think (again) that Joe Thomas makes the team in place of Palmer.

I don't think Guion and Jones can be on the 53 while suspended.

Reserve/Suspended- This listing is for players who have been suspended by the NFL. Players on the suspended list are not paid for their time suspended, do not count against the active 53, and their salaries are reduced to reflect the weeks they are suspended. For example Justin Blackmon of the Jaguars will see his base salary drop from 17 games of pay to just 13 games of pay. Players can also have their signing bonuses reduced due to forfeiture provisions in the CBA. In the case of drug suspension this is mandatory. In other cases teams will determine if they will go after bonus money. I am unsure if this forfeiture is accrued during of after the season, but will try to clarify at a later date. While suspended the cap charges count in full.

I think the fact that Myles white isn't a big ST contributor will hurt his chances. Rip was drafted to eventually replace Kuhn. The only question is whether the future is now. Thomas may have a shot as dime 'backer.

According to this article, suspended players don't count against the final 53.

I profess to not knowing for sure, but doesn't a suspended player have to be on the 53, then put on suspended after that? Meaning someone has to be released and then added.

I don't think so. On cut-down day, teams have to turn in their 53 man active roster, as well as their reserve rosters: Reserve-Injured, Reserve-Injured, Designated for return, and Reserve-Suspended. Once the suspension is over, they then have to either release the player, or add him to the roster and release someone else.

What Bobblehead suggests makes sense, because:

- A suspended FA has to be signed by someone before his suspension starts.
- IR Designated to Return requires the player be on the final 53, then moved to IR (unless the rule has been changed)

I just figured it punishes team and player much more if they have to count against 53...almost a reward if they don't. I am only going on what makes sense to me, therefor I am likely wrong.
