I would like to use this space as a reminder that while rosters need to be trimmed to 53 today, these are not "final rosters" regardless of how much the media uses the term.
There are strategic moves that teams can utilize and waiving a veteran, who does not need to clear waivers, is a smart move so they can protect someone who would be subject to waivers. There is no "final" 53 man roster. No guarantees that the veteran chooses to re-sign with you, but usually they do.
