Re: Waivers
Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't there non-vested players (which I believe is less than four credited seasons) who simply get cut? Or does every non-vested player go on waivers regardless?

Waivers
I have never understood about waivers. I don't mean the rules; those are easy enough to understand. I mean the concept. If a team no longer wants a player, why don't they simply cut him?

Re: Active Rosters
Tod, thanks again. Allow me to rephrase the question. I was referring to earlier seasons, when there were a number of roster cutdowns leading to the final active roster limit. For example, and using the info from Tod's site, in 1971 active rosters were cut to 60 on 8/5, then 49 on 8/30, 44 on 9/6, t...

Re: 1960 NFL Expansion Draft
Thanks, Tod. Does my reasoning seem accurate to you? That teams froze 25 players, and Dallas could choose from the remainder, whether active or inactive?

Taxi Squads
UPDATE: To the best of my knowledge, practice squads (aka taxi squads) originated with Paul Brown in 1946. PFA provides practice squad limits starting only in 1989. So does anyone know about the limits prior to 1989?
Anyone know the history of year-by-year taxi squad limits?

Active Rosters
At what point do Active Roster limits switch from in-season limits to off-season limits?

1960 NFL Expansion Draft
Does anyone have info on the rules of the 1960 Expansion Draft, such as the complete list of players left unprotected, the order of choices and withdrawals, or even just what the rules were? In his autobiography, Tom Landry stated, “Each team would be allowed to protect twenty-five of the thirty-fou...
