All, starting this thread to discuss the impending trim down to the initial 53-man roster, which has a deadline of 4:00 PM Eastern tomorrow, Tuesday August 29th. Discussion on cuts which have occurred has been scattered across various threads so it seemed wise to try to get one central spot for things, as during the next 24 hours we will see the toughest cuts occur.
So far I am seeing the following transactions:
CUT:
Carl Davis
Diego ***ot
Brad Hawkins
Johnny Lumpkin
CJ Marable
Quandre Mosely
Rodney Randle
Justus Tavai
Micah Vanterpool
Scotty Washington
Carson Wells
TRADED:
Pierre Strong Jr
ACQUIRED (via trade):
Tyrone Wheatley Jr
Vederian Lowe
I believe this puts us around 78 players (if I am wrong on this count, please let me know), so 25 more cuts left to go. However, at least three of them (Trey Flowers, Cody Davis, Calvin Anderson) are on PUP or NFI, so they can be carried without being counted against the roster unless/until they are activated. Therefore, only around 22 cuts really need to happen. Additionally, there will undoubtedly be players placed on IR from the "final" 53 man roster so that they may return in-season, opening the door for some cut players to come right back again.
For news on players who are cut, please use this thread. If someone is acquired, or a major trade occurs, or a very unexpected cut happens, certainly a new thread can be made as well to focus on that topic.
Thanks all, the next day should be interesting!
