You'll use free agency to get to 53. Depending on how we allocate our resources, we can attract free agents to different degrees. However, my suspicion is that we'll have relatively few big bidding wars on strong free agents and a lot of $1 to $5 bids to fill out our rosters. I doubt that very many teams are close to having a 53-man roster that's got the depth they want.
We're not going to have a waiver wire system, at least not in the traditional sense. Once you get your 53, they're your team for the season. If you get decimated by injuries, you can juggle positions or you'll be assigned a "street free agent" who will fill the position but frankly isn't very good. As in, worse than Matt Cassel. (This is the same system we had last year.)
