Getting close to the tough cuts

First thing this morning, the team announced that four more players had been released:

The depth chart is at 82 players (40 offense, 39 defense, 3 ST specialists). With the roster exemption for David Bada, the Football Team needs to be at 81 players by 4pm today, meaning that there needs to be at least one more roster move in the next several hours.
With the current 40/39 split, it seems likely that the next roster cut announced will come from the offensive side of the ball.
IF you are wondering about the numbers on the depth chart, those represent the 2021 cap hits for players over $1m for the season.
As always, the assessment of position, depth, and skill level is mine alone; it does not necessarily reflect the thinking of the coaching staff and no one else was consulted regarding it’s construction.
