Default Are we missing something?

The last two day's Gary Kubiak has talked about the 80 man roster and it's limits on the official site. During the owners meeting near the draft Casserly was blasting the owners for the short sightedness of the current roster limits.

This winter the owners did away with the European spring league, not a huge deal on it's face, many teams where not sending real players there and where wasting the opportunity to improve young players. But that league also included roster exemptions for the spring players through out training camp.

This allowed coaches to basically have practice fodder to burn reps. Now that is gone. IIRC we had 8 or 9 players with exemptions last year. That is a lot of guys.

Kubiak is pointing out if a CB or two or three go down, then you can burn out your other guys in quick fashion.

Right now we have 8 guys that will be gone before camp starts. Who?
