Roster Turmoil

With 2,000 players on the NFL active rosters and practice squads at any given time, it's overwhelming to keep track of the transactions. There are always another 400 unrestricted free agents or "street players".

The moves by the Pats have been very interesting. Who will play safety now? Are they really keeping three quarterbacks? There must be a reason if they are. Is Brady or Hoyer hurt?

We will never get the answers from Coach Belichick. He will "do what is best for the team". That might mean bringing TE Algae Crumpler back now that there are only two on the roster. What about Garrett Mills who is several years younger and eligible for the practice squad?

The next several days will be very exciting as the roster is tweaked. Once the season starts, anything can happen. Lawrence Maroney and Danny Woodhead are two great examples.
