Okay, grab your cup o’ joe and plop down in your favorite chair (or office chair if you are back to the weekly grind), because today is the beginning of the dreaded annual roster pruning. We’re about to start down the path of the LA Rams roster cuts. The NFL deadline to get to the 53-man limit is currently established as Tuesday, August 31 at 1:00 pm PT. If you are reading this on the morning of Monday, August 30th, that is just over 24 hours away.
After teams have shed their mandatory 27 players to fit under the 53 man roster, they will be able to adjust their rosters by submitting waiver claims for the just-released players.
