Devontae Booker was placed on the final 53

For someone who has been on the roster bubble for the past two seasons, it is so surprising that once again, Devontae Booker avoids the axe of cut day. We did not see much of him in the preseason. For a player who most believed was fighting for a roster spot, he did not get a lot of time on the field.

The thought was that Theo Riddick would end up taking his spot. But due to injury, that did not happen. With the roster moves that were made today, it seemed more and more likely that Devontae Booker would be safe.

That would be proven true when the next surprise on the list became fact.
