that's 38 players that could possibly see the field, leaving 15 slots for injuries and development players.
We want the talent pool to see the field not sitting on the shelf. At least inSandbix you have the foresight to see where injuries will occur. If a real NFL team has injuries to 3 CB, players who were street free agents at the beginning of the season will definitely see the field. It isn't the end of the world to play a free agent for a few games.

I've lost 8 of those 38 to IR in real life.
I've got seven draft picks.
To replace those 8 and keep my draft picks, I have to give up on ALL my other players(38+8+7=53).
If you're saying I need to decide who's worth keeping and letting street FA do their job, and who I want to cut bait on, I'll say I want to keep them all. That's why I signed them. With no IR, I'll play the players I have (probably out of position to secure a higher draft pick), and come back next season with more money, better players and a high draft pick.
