Contrary to the opionion of the distinguished gentleman from Philly, I actually see the sense of allowing us to cut rookie players prior to the start of the in-season free agency period.

Better than having us skip picks. Gives us the preseason to scout our rooks and make sure we really want all 3.

Maybe allow an evaluation period each year through the training camps. Rookies won't officially be on either the active roster or the dev squad and can be cut before 8/15 with no cap hit.

However, by 8/15 at midnight if you want to keep a rookie you have to declare him active or dev squad, and any cuts from that point on would count against the appropriate cap. Contract years would have to be declared by then as well.

What do you think?
