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.
In what appears to be a data entry error, the team site lists DB Chris Miller, recently claimed off of waivers, as being on the Practice Squad, which is currently non-existent, so we’ll keep an eye out to see if that signals anything unusual or is simply a glitch that gets fixed.
TE Ricky Seals-Jones was added to the roster on the first day of OTAs, creating some competition for the likely 3rd TE spot on the regular season roster and adding a new hyphenated surname to replace Josh Harvey-Clemons, who was recently released.
There is still one open roster spot due to the roster exemption for International Player Pathway program player, David Bada. I doubt whether Ron Rivera will wait a long time to fill it.
