NFL teams currently carry 90 players during the preseason but must reduce their rosters to 53 by 4 p.m. ET on Tuesday. This means a staggering 1,184 players will be released, raising questions about their future in the league.
Once released, players with fewer than four years of service will hit waivers, while those with more experience will become free agents. With the Tennessee Titans holding the top waiver position, they have the first opportunity to claim any player released.
The imminent cuts raise an interesting point: how will teams strategize to retain talent? The flurry of trades often seen before cut day hints at teams’ desire to maximize their rosters while avoiding losing valuable players for nothing. Key developments include:
- The Titans leading the waiver wire, potentially reshaping their roster.
- Several trades already executed, including three by the Eagles over the weekend.
- Teams actively seeking trades to avoid releasing talented players.
As cut day approaches, fans should stay tuned for the latest updates and potential surprises that could reshape the upcoming season. Will your favorite team make a bold move?
