Making the 53 man roster for any NFL team is tough work. The uphill battle begins when you walk in the building during OTAs and minicamp; it does not end until September 1st, when the league mandates roster cuts. There are some important dates ahead in the football season, but roster cuts are always part of the more interesting narratives in the offseason.
Last year started a new era in the NFL, one where there is only one roster cut - from 90 to 53 - instead of a preliminary cut to 75 after Week 3 of the preseason.
