With only 53 spots on regular-season rosters for NFL teams, it's inevitable that the end of preseason will bring cuts. And some of them could be surprising.
Remember last year when kicker Dan Bailey, wide receiver Martavis Bryant and cornerback David Amerson were among the players cut at the end of the preseason? It's not always lesser-known players who feel the effects of a roster crunch. There are sometimes bigger names in those end-of-preseason transactions, too.
This year likely won't be different. While many of the players who get cut will be undrafted rookies or ones with little-to-no NFL experience, there are sure to be a surprising veteran or two dropped into free agency.
