This isn’t exactly an article, but there’s been a lot of recent roster activity so I thought I’d update the chart and post it.
Notes:
The numbers on the chart next to some players’ names represent the 2021 cap hit. It is only listed for players who have a hit over $1m.
The color coding used follows this key:

When it doesn’t seem clear who is the starter or the backup, I have generally listed veterans ahead of rookies.
Where a position has two or more slots (ie. DT, DE, WR, CB, RG/LG) I haven’t made any real effort to list the backups behind the starter they are most likely to replace. To some extent, I have just tried to balance the space on the chart.
The changes from last week are the addition of DB Chris Miller, whom I have listed at strong safety despite the team announcement that called him a cornerback, the swap of Josh Harvey-Clemons for Joe Walker (who was Hasaan Reddick’s backup in AZ) at LB, and a reshuffling of the offensive line with Morgan Moses and Geron Christian being released.
There are now two open roster spots. I doubt whether Ron Rivera will wait a long time to fill them.
