A few fast notes, the primary of which is one thing astute readers will rapidly discover, and that’s that 2010, 2011 and 2020 are lacking. The rationale for that is that previous to 2012 offseason rosters have been capped at 80 gamers, with the 2011 collective bargaining settlement increasing the offseason roster to 90 gamers starting with the 2012 offseason. As well as, the 2020 COVID Modification to the CBA restricted the coaching camp roster to 80 gamers, limiting the meaningfulness of comparisons between the roster in that coaching camp relative to the seasons round it.
The second notice is that this breakdown doesn’t bear in mind the reported signing of UFL operating again Ricky Person who was reported earlier within the week. This isn’t to say that the workforce received’t truly be including Individual to the roster, however for the reason that workforce has not formally introduced the transfer, together with the corresponding roster transfer, it’s not included on this desk.
One factor that does leap out from the desk fairly rapidly on the offensive facet of issues, although, is how a lot lighter the workforce is at extensive receiver in comparison with years previous. This might present some perception into why the workforce has been understanding receivers in latest weeks, because the 11 wideouts at the moment on the roster could be the least to enter coaching camp throughout the John Schneider period.
The Hawks additionally appear to have a number of our bodies on the deal with spot, nevertheless, that is partially because of the truth that they’ve Max Pircher on the roster, who comes with a roster exemption because of his standing as a member of the Worldwide Participant Pathway program. That implies that whereas the workforce has eight tackles on the roster, solely seven of them are literally on the 90-man roster, with Pircher representing the additional participant.
As well as, the numbers on the defensive facet have the workforce heavier than years previous at linebacker, whereas lighter on the defensive position. This is sensible as a result of shift in personnel and scheme in latest seasons, and for these curious the breakdown between the defensive position and linebacker isn’t all that dissimilar from what Macdonald had in Baltimore.
There might, clearly, be some shuffling of the roster between now and the beginning of coaching camp, so that is one thing that may be revisited as soon as coaching camp opens.
