Yep, assuming we let Gardner go, then it’s just Khamis & Sweet on the rookie list. So two rookie spots, either both for the rookie draft or perhaps one rookie draft pick and an SSP option.

Met a fellow Doggies member today who said she got a memo that said no delistings (as opposed to none yet). Anyone in the know?

Thought we had to have at least one to take our draft quota.

No I'm not. But there needs to be at least two delistings off the main list as a factual matter.

Cheers guys.
Carry on regardless.

Re: Roarke Smith
Could it be that we will delist 2 and then rookie them?

Then with La Young, Khamis & Sweet retained, there’s one rookie list spot for Roberts, Webb, Roarke & Gardner.
We could upgrade La Young (pick 89) & Khamis (Pick 53), only having pick 13. Then with Sweet, there’s three spots for Roberts, Webb, Roarke & Gardner. Even in this, someone is getting delisted.
There’s going to be delistings.

Minimal changes and I suspect moving a rookie to the senior list and someone from the senior to the rookie list via the draft is a chance

You can take as many extra rookies as you have empty spots on your main list. So we could if we did deep cuts but not this year

So we could have 42 rookies if we wanted too?
They say Burt Lancaster has one, but I don't believe them.

We might struggle to get to 95% of the salary cap if we had 42 rookies.

Is the rookie wage set at a dollar amount? May as do what Richmond does and pay 95% to the top 5 on the list and chuck a bag of money to the rest of the playing group to fight over.
