The NFL season is upon us, but first franchises had to trim their rosters down to 53 players with their final cut day. And wow, was it a bad few days for former Hawks looking to make a roster. Let’s go, I guess?
All 32 NFL teams had to trim their roster to 53 players by Tuesday at 4:00 p.m. EST. Unlike previous years where the roster cuts were staggered over the month of August from 85 to 80 to 53, this year featured a single major cut day to get to 53. Some teams have small cut lists, as they operated like they had in the past, while other teams have longer lists as they had more to trim.
