Lions Roster for 2007 per my Estimate dated May 4, 2007 (Updated May 20 for Eric Beverly and some alternates now listed)
(updated again on July 28 because of cuts, IR and retirement - see notes at the bottom)
(August 31st notes: Drew Stanton is on IR which means J.T. O'Sullivan will make the roster. Kevin Jones is on PUP, which means Avieon Cason will make the team for now, then either he or Calhoun will be cut when KJ comes back in 6 to 9 weeks. Devale Ellis is on PUP and may not make the team even when he's able to play. Edell Shephard almost certainly got beat of a roster spot by Troy Walters. Rudy Sylvan may have lost his roster spot to Jon Bradley, a backup DT who can play FB/TE. I think Saipaia makes the team and takes Petermans spot. I think Moore beat out Pinkney for a roster spot. With Daniel Bullocks on IR, I think Dee McCann makes the team as a Safety. I think Keith Smith beat out A.J. Davis for the final CB spot. The players in bold are my changes due to injury and shall remain as part of my original roster estimate. The players names in italics are what I wished I had gave as answers but did not see it coming. We shall see on Saturday how close I get.)
