Yesterday was one of those sad but entertaining days on the NFL calendar. All 32 teams cut guys loose to reach their official 53-man roster before Week 1. And with 30 or more cuts on just about every team, that’s a minimum of 600 football players now looking for work. Some ended up on practice squads. Most will wait for their next phone call. Among the chaos were a few newsworthy moments, though. The Browns opted to keep four quarterbacks on the roster, at least for now. The biggest cut of the day was Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney — the Super Bowl LVII hero with a 65-yard punt return in the 4th quarter.

Notable Roster Cuts

WR Kadarius Toney (Chiefs)

QB Desmond Ridder (Cardinals)

QB Bailey Zappe (Patriots)

QB Sam Howell (Commanders)

QB Matt Corral (Vikings)

WR Allen Robinson (Giants)

DE Carl Lawson (Cowboys)

QB Trace McSorley (Commanders)

The 2022 QB Class Bust

We also saw the 2022 quarterback class basically stripped and sold for parts. That class included names like Desmond Ridder, Bailey Zappe, Malik Willis, Kenny Pickett, Sam Howell, and Matt Corral. Most are free agents after yesterday while Willis and Pickett are backups. The only quarterback from the 2022 draft class making an impact with the team that drafted him is Brock Purdy (49ers), and he was selected in the 7th round.

Expect some more moves before the season starts now that 600 eligible players just hit the market.
