Roster Shakeup: 10 NFL Players Facing Uncertain Futures
8 Jul
Summary
- Several players' roster spots in jeopardy due to coaching change
- Undrafted and late-round picks struggling to secure roster spots
- Running back and wide receiver positions particularly competitive
As the new NFL season approaches, teams are undergoing significant roster changes, especially when a new coaching staff takes over. In this environment, very few players can be considered locks for their roster spots, as many will be battling to retain their positions against newly acquired talent.
The article focuses on ten returning players whose roster spots are on shaky ground. Among them is a former undrafted free agent who spent most of last season on the practice squad but saw playing time due to injuries. However, with the team drafting a new quarterback, his chances of making the roster this year appear slim.
Similarly, a running back who briefly showed promise as a starter last season has now fallen behind the team's first-round draft pick and other established veterans in the depth chart. Other players, such as a kick returner and a running back with limited playing time, also face an uphill battle to secure their roster spots.
The article also highlights the challenges faced by wide receivers, with one player who saw limited action last season and another who is transitioning from tight end to wide receiver in an effort to find a place on the team.
