Thanks Fargo... I'll guess 10 more Gophers go to training camps or mini camps. Let me know if I'm right come August. Ha Nice job on the list!

With rosters at 90 I think Jonah Persig will get a look as an undrafted free agent.

I've seen some reports that rate this years draft as being extremely thin at OL. That should give Jonah some chance of getting drafted in the late rounds.
 


KJ Maye Titans practice squad, futures contract.
 

With all the injuries, I wonder why they have to have a 53-man roster and only ten players on the practice squad.

Going from an 80-man to a 90-man roster will mean about 320 more players like Pirsig will get an opportunity for a look and evaluation. But, why not have 15 to 20 players on the practice squad instead of 10.

At the minimum $6,900 per week for practice squad players, that is chum change for a multi-million dollar franchise.

The late season injuries can derail a team's season like when Brett Favre and the Vikings lost to New Orleans in the playoffs. Team should be allowed to have enough reserve players.

A date that will live in infamy. The day it became clear the NFL will at times orchestrate certain story lines or it employs obviously incompetent or corrupt officials (and refuses to police itself in an appropriate manner).
 



This can't be right. It's not possible that more Gophers are drawing NFL paychecks than former Bison players.
 

West Coast Gopher Fan- Congrats on being up to the minute on your list. You did not include former Gopher defensive back Tramaine Brock, who was cut yesterday after a felony charge.

+1,000!
 

If i was a gambling man, and I am, I would bet that if you give PJ the same amount of years kill had he'll have more players in the NFL than 12
