I seek a Solon.
With a 53-man squad, I wonder why the 45-man limit exists.
My minor mental processes come up with the following (admittedly cynical) reasons:
1: The "I'm OK you're OK" view that accomodates teams with weak benches in the name of league-wide competitiveness.
2: To effect a concentration of players, so that each team and the league in general can culture a crop of of big-name players and therefore stars. Hype, endorsements, face time etc.
3. Following #2, crass econmics on the part of the NFLPA i.e. "How can you expect me to live on a measly four mill a year?"
Comments? howitzer shells? mortar rounds?
