About this listen

Former Chargers and Raiders GM Tom Telesco joins Trey Wingo to pull back the curtain on how NFL rosters are really built and why decisions are rarely as simple as fans think. From roster cuts and preseason math to trade timing and player evaluations, Telesco shares what goes into constructing a team and the tough realities players face on the bubble.

He explains why “making the 53” is never guaranteed, what goes into replacing coordinators, and how front offices weigh cap space, draft picks, and player development. The conversation also dives into the Micah Parsons trade, the league’s quiet push toward an 18-game season, and why fans might misunderstand how those decisions actually get made.
