GREG JACKSON David: I asked Jason Garrett the same thing on Monday, and he said he thinks the rationale is that the NFL wants those early cuts to have a chance with another team before the rosters are finalized. That’s a tough ask, though – to have a released player sign somewhere new on Tuesday or Wednesday and play on Thursday. I don’t really see the point, and I bet if you asked most NFL coaches – off the record, of course – they’d tell you they’d prefer to do all their cuts at once.

Why cut down to 75 before the last preseason game? Why not wait until after the final preseason game and just cut from 90 to 53?
