It's been discussed every year about increasing the size of both the regular season roster and the active game day roster and I have always wondered why it has not been changed. Then Fisher laid it out the other day why the active game day roster is what it is.
It's about equal competition he stated if they made it a full roster being able to be activated then it could lead to an unfair situation where one team has 53 healthy bodies while the other team only have 48 that's a unfair situation on how many players are available for each team and how do you protect against that?
Competitive balance I guess. But I totally agree that the max allowed should be increased from 53 to perhaps 56 so that would be 53 positional and 3 specialists. That would allow for 3 more players on the roster. And keep the practice squad as it is.
