It’s crunch time here for NFL roster cuts with each team needing to be trimmed down to 53 players by 4 PM ET on Tuesday, September 27th. Some teams will make their roster cuts all at once, some will do them in batches. 

Some teams even do their NFL cuts one at a time, like the Dolphins with quarterback Mike White, which seems a bit harsh to put them in the spotlight like that. But I’m not a general manager, so I can’t tell them how to run their depth charts.

 

 

 

Notable 2024 NFL Roster Cuts Tracker

What I can do is comb through the notable NFL roster cuts to see if there are any potential bounce back candidates that could land with new teams. Not every team is loaded up like the San Francisco 49ers or Kansas City Chiefs, so one man’s trash could be another man’s treasure. 

We’ll highlight some names here from the massive list of NFL roster cuts and we’ll keep updating it through 4 PM ET on Tuesday, September 27th. Without further ado, here is our official 2024 NFL cuts tracker!

 

 

 

Tim Patrick, Wide Receiver

The Denver Broncos announced they were parting ways with the fan favorite after multiple years that have ended with injury. The Broncos are going in a new direction with a rookie quarterback but perhaps the veteran split end can catch on with a team in need of a big wide receiver, like the New York Giants, perhaps.

Courtland Sutton remains the best big body in Denver and Greg Dulcich could pick up more snaps out wide.

Samaje Perine, Running Back

The Broncos also cut veteran running back Samaje Perine. They have a backfield loaded with young players like Javonte Williams, Jaleel McLaughlin and Audric Estime so they’ll turn their eye to the future.

Perine is a decent pass-down back and teams like the Dallas Cowboys, Tampa Bay Buccaneers or his former employer the Cincinnati Bengals could be interested in his services. 

Boston Scott, Running Back

Scott signed a $1,225,000 contract with the Los Angeles Rams, who decided they didn’t need his services. He could potentially land back with the Philadelphia Eagles on a veteran minimum deal or he could land elsewhere as part of a backfield. He can also contribute on special teams, which helps his chances.

 

 

 

Mike White, Quarterback

Skylar Thompson made the most of his opportunities, which made White expendable behind Tua Tagovailoa. But that doesn’t mean he can’t latch on somewhere else. The Dolphins kept extra backups last year with concerns about Tua’s health, though that proved to be overkill when Tua stayed largely healthy for the year. 

Matt Breida, Running Back

The 49ers gave Breida a look but inevitably decided they liked what they had, especially after Jordan Mason was the top graded back through preseason. The obvious landing spot for Breida would be a return to the New York Giants where they are fairly thin at running back. 

Sterling Shepard, Wide Receiver

Another former Giant, Shepard was released in their first wave of cuts for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Shepard had stretches where he was a target monster out of the slot but injury after injury derailed his season. Maybe the Giants bring him back around or another team gives him a chance in the slot.

 

 

 

Terrace Marshall, Wide Receiver

The 24-year-old wide receiver was a former second round NFL pick, but the Carolina Panthers made the call to release him. 

He does have friends in the league with former LSU coach Joe Brady now the offensive coordinator of the Buffalo Bills and his former quarterback Joe Burrow obviously the starting QB for the Cincinnati Bengals. Those would be his best two spots to try again. 

Kadarius Toney, Wide Receiver

The two-time Super Bowl champion has been released by the Kansas City Chiefs after a year and a half of inconsistent play. The former first round pick does have exciting explosiveness when put in the right position so perhaps another team will take a stab on the divisive young talent. He’s still only 25 years old.

Noah Brown, Wide Receiver

After the Stefon Diggs trade, the Texans found themselves with a glut of riches at wide receiver and decided they no longer needed the services of Noah Brown. Brown came in last year due to injuries and had a couple monster back-to-back 150+ yard receiving games. Maybe that earns him another shot elsewhere?

 

 

 

D'Onta Foreman, Running Back

He’s never been much of a pass catcher, but D'Onta Foreman is a bruiser that can get you a yard when you need it. And those services are valuable enough at the NFL level that he’s been fantasy relevant from time to time. There are definitely some thin backfields that could give Foreman a look. 

Donald Parham Jr, Tight End

He hasn’t quite panned out as a pass catcher, but Parham is a serviceable blocker. And, at 6’8”, he’s one heck of a red zone target. The Los Angeles Chargers cut him loose, but another team could certainly give him a look. 

Kene Nwangwu, Running Back

Known as an All-Pro return man, Nwangwu may have been a victim of the new kick return rules here. Still, he flashed explosiveness at times that could get him a shot with another team. If I’m going to bet on someone from the NFL roster cut pile, give me a guy that runs a 4.37 40-yard dash.

Parris Campbell, Wide Receiver

After trading for Jahan Dotson, the Eagles decided to go in a different direction and released Campbell. He could pop up elsewhere as a potential slot wide receiver so keep an eye on his status. 

Cole Turner, Tight End

The Commanders new regime went in a new direction at the tight end drafting Ben Sinnott and also an old direction, pairing Zach Ertz with former offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury. The converted wide receiver Cole Turner at least skews pass catching so maybe he could get a look in another tight end room.
