Wondering because right now I am way over the roster size limit, and wouldn't be able to bid on a FA until I make cut downs I believe. Wondering if we are going to have to go ahead and cut those guys loose to make bids if we are over roster limits, or if guys that are on 0 year won't count against those limits until later?

Last year we had to accelerate the system. For the current offseason, you don't have a roster limit. You can sign free agents throughout the period and only have a cutdown at the end of the NFL season.
We'll then have a second free agency period after the cutdown where you can shuffle your roster by picking up guys who got cut. In that phase the 53-man limit will be in effect.
