Mailbag: How many current Eagles players are locks for the 53-man roster? - PhillyVoice
So if I’m projecting clear-cut roster-worthy players, whether that be a result of actual quality play, recent draft status, contract status, or potential, I only got to 34 players. Rodney McLeod will likely start the season on the PUP list, but won’t count toward the initial 53, and of course we omitted Zach Ertz, who is likely a goner. The Eagles are going to have to fill in the rest with draft picks, undrafted free agents, and then fringe roster guys like J.
