Today’s the day. By 4 PM/ET, all 32 clubs must trim their roster from 90 to 53 players. It’s a difficult day for many, getting that visit from the “turk,” telling them to turn in their playbook. A joyous day for others, making the initial 53. Notice I said initial 53 man roster. Though every team will be sitting at that number, there’s plenty of chances for teams to tweak around the edges. Make trades, claim off the waiver wire, shuffle around the practice squad.
Recent history shows the front office has remained busy after the buzzer.
