Today marks that most magical of times: Mass Redundancy. Yes, the NFL's 32 franchises will collectively dump around 600 players as they get their final 53 man rosters in order for the 2008 season.
We'll cover some of the bigger cuts today, with plenty of big names rumoured to be amongst those in line for release. Amongst those already cut include:
NY Jets: RB Jesse Chatman (signed from Miami in Free Agency this year) and CB Hank Poteat
Chicago: DE Dan Bazuin (a 2nd round pick in 2007)
New Orleans: S Lance Schulters
Houston: DE Rosevelt Colvin, RB's Darius Walker and Marcel Shipp.
Also on the way out could be Panthers CB Ricardo Colclough, who was arrested last night on a charge of DWI. Colclough has been a target for the Carolina boo-boys this pre-season after muffing a couple of punts. Unfortunately for the team, their options in the return game are limited, especially with WR Steve Smith - who would be an emergency option in any case - suspended for the first two games.
