The Arizona Cardinals cut their roster down on Tuesday. The requirement is to have no more than 53 players. They have 52.
Why 52?
It suggests there was an unannounced transaction.
While waiver claims are coming, they don’t know who those guys are and there is no guarantee they will get who they want, so it wouldn’t make sense to keep 53 players.
Keeping 52 suggests they either agreed to a trade that was not announced or they have agreed to sign a player who was not already on another team’s roster.
Since they do not have a backup center, a player like former Tennessee Titans starting center Ben Jones, who is unsigned, could be a possibility.
So if the Cardinals announce a free agent signing or a trade, no one should be surprised.
