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.

Matt Jones: Bust(ed)
In this quiet point of the season, there is very little in the way of real news in the NFL. Thankfully, the fact that so many players are on holiday gives a,ple opportunity for some good ol' arrests.
Jacksonville receiver Matt Jones, selected 21st in the 2005 NFL draft, has ben arrested for possession of cocaine in Fayetteville, Arkansas. According to Police, the former Razorback was found in a parked car, chopping up a white substance with a credit card. Jones has admitted Cocaine possession, but Cannabis residue was also later discovered in the vehicle.
Bad news for a player who has failed to show the kind of production that the Jags hoped for. Jones was a QB in college, but his exceptional speed and height were ideally suited to the Wide Receiver position. Jones has spectacularly failed to live up to any expectations, and the experiment can be said to be a failure. Last year he finished with just 317yds from 24 catches, with 4 Touchdowns.
