Browns Roster Bubble Players

by James Layton

I was looking at the Browns roster yesterday; I started thinking they have a lot of players that could be on the bubble to make the roster this season.

Some of these players before free agency and the draft I thought were at least going to be backups on the roster or practice squad players. But now it’s not so clear.

Let’s get into their bubble players.

Steelers Roster Bubble Players 1.0: Pre-Training Camp

by James Layton

With training camp starting in nine days, I was looking at the roster for who could be on the bubble.

With Omar Khan as the new general manager, what we came to expect with how many players would be carried at some positions may have changed. With Practice Squad also being able to have even veteran players to be added, have changed how the steelers do their roster cuts.
