Which 61.....

Just a few comments about your list:

- Hamden probably will be on practice squad. 3 QB's will be among the 53.
- Very likely fewer DL and OL slots.
- More LB slots.

It's actually very possible that the team will only keep 2 QB's on the active roster. The addition of Tom Tupa gives us a player who started for two years at QB in the NFL.

OK, it was for the Cardinals, but he did play. And since the 3rd string QB doesn't get any practice snaps anyway, it may as well be Tupa.

BrudLee, ABSOLUTELY no way the Redskins go with only 2 QB's. First, Joe Gibbs will always keep AT LEAST 3 QB's on his roster. Secondly, the 3rd QB on your 53-man roster is a free active player each week in addition to the 45 you are allowed. He can only play if the first 2 get injured, but Gibbs does not take chances. He will not throw away the free spot. Very few NFL teams do waste it, and the Redskins under Gibbs certainly will not be one of them. And lastly, I do not think Gibbs would waive Hasselbeck or put him on the practice squad. If he did either, he would almost certainly be signed by another team with all of the QB demand there is right now in the league.
