NFL roster cuts: Which big names were released?

With rosters needing to be narrowing down to 53, many NFL players are facing the ends of their careers.

Several notable names were released by Saturday's 4 p.m. ET deadline. Here are some of the notable names who were sent packing, as well as a team-by-team look:

QB Tim Tebow, Eagles: Chip Kelly's experiment with Tebow appears to be over, and it's unclear if the QB will get another shot in the NFL.

QB Matt Cassel, Bills: Once thought to be the front-runner for the starting QB job, Cassel didn't have a spot on the Bills after losing out to Tyrod Taylor.
