NFL Roster Cuts 2013: Tracking Latest Players Released from All 32 Teams
One of the roughest days for players, NFL coaches and front-office folks is when the final roster cuts are due. The NFL may be a business—and often a cold one at that—but having to tell a man his dream (at least temporarily) is over can't be easy.
But it's part of being a professional athlete, and this weekend, the preseason cycle will complete itself once again. Here, we'll track each notable cut as NFL teams trim their rosters to 53.
All updates via NFL.com.
Arizona Cardinals
1 of 32| Players Cut | S Jonathon Amaya, C Adam Bice, WR Dan Buckner, DT David Carter, TE Alex Gottlieb, WR Charles Hawkins, OT Jamaal Johnson-Webb, G Senio Kelemete, LB Zack Nash, LB Colin Parker, TE Richard Quinn, G Chilo Rachal, LB Kenny Rowe, DT Padric Scott, S Curtis Taylor, WR Kerry Taylor, WR Mike Thomas, LB Reggie Walker |
Ryan Williams, who has struggled with injuries but showed promise when healthy, made the cut, while guard Chilo Rachal, who started games with the San Francisco 49ers and Chicago Bears, wasn't so lucky.
Atlanta Falcons
2 of 32| Players Cut | LB Brian Banks, FB Patrick DiMarco, G Theo Goins, DT Neal Huynh, LBRobert James, WR Darius Johnson, CB Terrence Johnson, CB Jordan Mabin, GPhillipkeith Manley, S Charles Mitchell, WR Martel Moore, DT Micanor Regis, DT Adam Replogle, WRJames Rodgers, OT Alec Savoie, LB Pat Schiller, K Jeremy Shelley, CB Peyton Thompson, RB Ronnie Wingo |
UPDATE: Friday, August 30, at 12:20 p.m. ET by Timothy Rapp
Sadly, the dream has come to an end for Brian Banks—or at least the dream of making the 53-man roster for the Atlanta Falcons—as he was released, according to NFL insider Jay Glazer.
---End of update---
Few players have been a better story this preseason than Brian Banks, who was signed by the Atlanta Falcons after serving five years in prison for a rape he didn't commit. Making the team was always a long shot for Banks, but his story has been one worth following.
Baltimore Ravens
3 of 32| Players Cut | RB Anthony Allen, CB Marc Anthony, TE Billy Bajema, S Omar Brown, LB Nigel Carr, RB Delone Carter, LB Brandon Copeland, QB Dayne Crist, OT Jordan Devey, WR Tandon Doss, TE Matt Furstenburg, OT Roger Gaines, QB Caleb Hanie, DT Cody Larsen, RB Bobby Rainey, TE Alex Silvestro, C Reggie Stephens, OT J.J. Unga, WR LaQuan Williams |
UPDATE: August 30, at 9:34 p.m. ET by Joseph Zucker
Aaron Wilson of The Baltimore Sun reported both Caleb Hanie and Delone Carter were cut by the Baltimore Ravens on Friday. The two had underwhelming performances against the St. Louis Rams in Baltimore's final preseason game.
---End of update---

---End of update---
UPDATE: Friday, August 30, at 10:55 a.m. ET by Timothy Rapp
Matt Leinart has been cut by the Buffalo Bills, failing to stick at quarterback. According to Ian Rapoprt of NFL.com, Leinart tweeted the following on Friday: "Tough game. Tough situation. No excuses. Thanks you to the Bills organization!"
---End of update---
Utility weapon Brad Smith wasn't a lock to crack the roster as a wide receiver, as the Buffalo Bills had several contenders for the No. 5 spot. He held on in the end, however, but it remains to be seen how much of an impact he'll make.
Carolina Panthers
5 of 32| Players Cut | WR Brenton Bersin, OT Patrick Brown, S D.J. Campbell, OL Garrett Chisolm, QB Jimmy Clausen, TE Dominique Curry, WR David Gettis, CB Drayton Florence, DT Sione Fua, OG Hayworth Hicks, LB Doug Hogue, WR Taulib Ikharo, LB Ben Jacobs, S Robert Lester, OG Tori Mobley, TE Zach Pianalto, RB Tauren Poole, DE Craig Roh, S Anderson Russell, WR James Shaw, DT Casey Walker, LB Jason Williams |
UPDATE: Saturday, August 31, at 9:15 a.m. ET by Patrick Clarke
According to NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport via Twitter, the Panthers have released former second-round draft pick Jimmy Clausen:
"#Panthers have released QB Jimmy Clausen, I'm told. Former 2nd rounder.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 31, 2013"
Rapoport also reports that Carolina parted ways with veteran defensive back Drayton Florence:
"Back at it again this morning for #CutDownDay. First surprise: #Panthers cut veteran CB Drayton Florence, source says.
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 31, 2013"
---End of update---
Chicago Bears
6 of 32| Players Cut | RB Armando Allen, OT Cory Brandon, OL Derek Dennis, QB Trent Edwards, LB Jerry Franklin, WR Brittan Golden, S Brandon Hardin, LS Brandon Hartson, CB Demontre Hurst, DT Corey Irvin, WR Josh Lenz, S Tom Nelson, TE Fendi Onobun, QB Jordan Palmer, LB J.T. Thomas, WR Terrence Toliver, DT Christian Tupou, RB Harvey Unga, OT J'Marcus Webb, DL Aston Whiteside, C/OG Edwin Williams, DE Josh Williams, DE Cheta Ozougwu |
Earl Bennett was reportedly put on the trade block on Thursday, according to Chris Wesseling of NFL.com, which is never a good sign for a player in the preseason. He did, however, survive the cuts on Saturday.
Cincinnati Bengals
7 of 32| Players Cut | FB John Conner, LS Bryce Davis, S Tony Dye, OT Reid Fragel, WR Cobi Hamilton, RB Daniel Herron, C T.J. Johnson, CB Chris Lewis-Harris, CB Onterio McCalebb, LB Dontay Moch, CB Shaun Prater, WR Taveon Rogers, WR Roy Roundtree, OT Dennis Roland, LB J.K. Schaffer, DT Terrence Stephens, QB John Skelton, OG John Sullen, LB Bruce Taylor |
Orson Charles beat out John "Terminator" Conner as the team's starting fullback. Safety Taylor Mays also survived and will be a backup this year, contributing mostly on special teams barring an injury to a starter.
Cleveland Browns
8 of 32| Players Cut | OL Aaron Adams, DB Akeem Auguste, K Brandon Bogotay, OL Braxston Cave, LB Justin Cole, RB Jamaine Cook, DL Hall Davis, WR Mike Edwards, TE Dan Gronkowski, WR Tori Gurley, LB James-Michael Johnson, DB Abdul Kanneh, RB Miguel Maysonet, WR David Nelson, DB Kent Richardson, WR Naaman Roosevelt, DL Brian Sanford, P/K Colton Schmidt, S Jamoris Slaughter, LB Justin Staple, TE Kellen Davis, LB L.J. Fort, RB Brandon Jackson, FB Brad Smelley, OG Jarrod Shaw, OT Caylin Hauptmann |
UPDATE: Saturday, August 31, at 10 a.m. ET by Patrick Clarke
The Browns have released former Buffalo Bills wide receiver David Nelson in an effort to cut their roster down to 53 players by Saturday evening, according to NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport on Twitter:
"#Browns have released WR David Nelson, who is recovering from an ACL and had a bone bruise (detailed here: http://t.co/m2u2pwM3lh)
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 31, 2013"
---End of update---
UPDATE: Friday, August 30, at 9:52 p.m. ET by Joseph Zucker
ProFootballTalk reported the Cleveland Browns cut Dan Gronkowski. A 14-yard touchdown catch in the Browns' 18-16 win over the Chicago Bears wasn't enough for the 28-year-old to keep his job.
---End of update---
Dallas Cowboys
9 of 32| Players Cut | WR Anthony Armstrong, OT Demetress Bell, WR Tim Benford, CB Xavier Brewer, WR Danny Coale, OT Edawn Coughman, G Ray Dominguez, DE Jabari Fletcher, DE Thaddeus Gibson, CB Jakar Hamilton, C Kevin Kowalski, LB Cameron Lawrence, RB Kendial Lawrence, DT Jerome Long, LB Brandon Magee, LB Caleb McSurdy, CB Sterling Moore, CB Micah Pellerin, LB Taylor Reed, QB Alex Tanney, DE Jason Vega |
Quarterback Alex Tanney, who had shown promise in the preseason, was part of the cuts to get the Cowboys down to 53 players.
Denver Broncos
10 of 32| Players Cut | RB Lance Ball, DE Jeremy Beal, OL Philip Blake, OT Paul Cornick, OL C.J. Davis, DT Romney Fuga, DE Ben Garland, CB Aaron Hester, LB Damien Holmes, RB Jeremiah Johnson, WR Tavarres King, C Ryan Lilja, TE Jake O'Connell, OT Vinston Painter, S Ross Rasner, WR Gerell Robinson, WR Lamaar Thomas, DE John Youboty, RB Jacob Hester |
The Denver Broncos experimented by trying Quentin Jammer at safety this preseason. The move hasn't worked, meaning the 34-year-old was in serious danger of being chopped.
However, after surviving the cut to 53, Jammer appears to be a part of the team's plans in 2013.
Detroit Lions
11 of 32| Players Cut | OG Rodney Austin, DB Ron Bartell, RB Shaun Chapas, P Blake Clingan, DT Andrew Fluelen, WR Corey Fuller, CB Chris Greenwood, OT Kevin Haslam, LB Brandon Hepburn, STyrell Johnson, OL Darren Keyton, LB Jon Morgan, RB Steven Miller, LB Jon Morgan, S Martavius Neloms, DT Ogemdi Nwagbuo, DT Xavier Proctor, DT Jimmy Saddler-McQueen, OL Jake Scott, S Amari Spievey, LB Chris White, WR Matt Willis, LB Rocky McIntosh |
Safety Amari Spievey, who started 26 games for the Lions the past three years, was one of the players cut on Saturday as Detroit cut down to 53.
Green Bay Packers
12 of 32| Players Cut | FB Jonathan Amosa, OT Andrew Datko, S David Fulton, C Garth Gerhart, RBAlex Green, OT Kevin Hughes, WR Charles Johnson, C Patrick Lewis, LB Terrell Manning, CB Loyce Means, DT Jordan Miller, LB Dezman Moses, TE Matthew Mulligan, CB James Nixon, S Chaz Powell, LB Donte Savage, CB Brandon Smith, TE Jake Stoneburner, WR Tyrone Walker, WR Myles White, TED.J. Williams, QB Vince Young |
Aaron Rodgers is obviously the starter at quarterback. Many people thought Vince Young had the backup role wrapped up, but after the quarterback tweeted his release, the Packers will turn to B.J. Coleman if Rodgers goes down to an injury:
"Thanks to the @packers for the opportunity great organization great team wonderful fans good luck this season.
— Vince Young (@VinceYoung) August 31, 2013"
Houston Texans
13 of 32| Players Cut | DE Keith Browner, TE Jake Byrne, DB Roc Carmichael, FB Tyler Clutts, ILBCameron Collins, WR Andy Cruse, G Tyler Horn, NT David Hunter, DE Delano Johnson, RB Dennis Johnson, S Orhian Johnson, NT Chris Jones, RB Deji Karim, C Alex Kupper, CB Elbert Mack, OT Nate Menkin, ILB Mike Mohamed, WR Uzoma Nwachukwu, WR Mike Smith, S Jawanza Starling |
Case Keenum impressed during the preseason, and he earned a spot on the team's 53-man roster as the No. 3 quarterback. He'll sit behind starter Matt Schaub and primary backup T.J. Yates.
Indianapolis Colts
14 of 32| Players Cut | OLB, Daniel Adongo, S Larry Asante, C Thomas Austin, CB Marshay Green, DE Lawrence Guy, QB Chandler Harnish, FB Robert Hughes, T Ben Ijalana, TE Dominique Jones, WR Jeremy Kelley, Lb Josh McNary, DT Drake Nevis, CB Sheldon Price, WR Jabin Sambrano, WR Lanear Sampson, LB Monte Simmons, OT Bradley Sowell, NT Martin Tevaseu, OL Lee Ziemba, RB Kerwynn Williams |
Caesar Rayford wowed coaches and fans alike this preseason with five sacks, and the linebacker earned a spot on the team's 53-man roster as a result. This is a great opportunity for the 27-year-old player to see some quality snaps.
Jacksonville Jaguars
15 of 32| Players Cut | DT T.J. Barnes, WR Toney Clemons, DE Ryan Davis, OT R.J. Dill, WR Jeremy Ebert, DE Pannel Egboh, RB Jonathan Grimes, QB Mike Kafka, LB Brandon Marshall, WR Charly Martin, OT Pat McQuistan, G Drew Nowak, TE Ryan Otten, WR Tobais Palmer, CB Kevin Rutland, QB Matt Scott, LB Julian Stanford, S Steven Terrell, CB Marcus Trufant, LB Mike Zimmer, DT Kyle Love, WR Jordan Shipley, DB Antwon Blake, TE Brett Brackett, OL Dan Gerberry, FB Lonnie Pryor, LB Andy Studebaker |
UPDATE: Friday, August 31, at 3:45 p.m. ET by Timothy Rapp
Mike Kafka has lost the third-string quarterback battle and was cut by the Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday.
---End of update---

16 of 32| Players Cut | CB Vince Agnew, DE Miguel Chavis, WR Terrance Copper, OL Ryan Durand, OL Hutch Eckerson, DB Otha Foster III, OL A.J. Hawkins, DE Rob Lohr, Kamaal McIlwain, WR Jamar Newsome, RB Jordan Roberts, WR Tyler Shoemaker, QB Ricky Stanzi, DB Neiko Thorpe, FB Braden Wilson, LB Zach Diles, CB Jalil Brown, WR Devon Wylie, DT Jerrell Powe |
A.J. Jenkins was nothing but a disappointment for the San Francisco 49ers. He hasn't set the field on fire for the Kansas City Chiefs either, but it appears the team will keep him around after he survived Saturday's cuts.
Miami Dolphins
17 of 32| Players Cut | OT Jeff Adams, LB Antwan Applewhite, G Chris Barker, C Sam Brenner, WR Chad Bumphis, QB Aaron Corp, WR Keenan Davis, DT A.J. Francis, RB Jonas Gray, S Keelan Johnson, S Jordan Kovacs, OT Andrew McDonald, WR Marvin McNutt, TE Kyle Miller, DE Tristin Okpalaugo, CB Julian Posey, CB De'Andre Presley, DT Kheeston Randall, DT Tracey Robertson, LB Lee Robinson, LB Austin Spitler, WR Brian Tyms, TE Evan Rodriguez |
Veteran linebacker Antwan Applewhite was one of the players cut by Miami on Saturday. With 16 career starts under his belt, he could land on his feet with another club.
Minnesota Vikings
18 of 32| Players Cut | TE Colin Anderson, DT Christian Ballard, RB Joe Banyard, S Brandan Bishop, OG Travis Bond, WR Stephen Burton, DT Everett Dawkins, S Darris Eubanks, CB Bobby Felder, TE Chase Ford, OT Brandon Keith, DT Anthony McCloud, LB Tyrone McKenzie, OT Kevin Murphy, DT Spencer Nealy, DE D'Aundre Reed, WR Rodney Smith, WR Adam Thielen, RB Collins Ukwu |
Former quarterback and now wide receiver Joe Webb retained a spot on the Vikings' 53-man roster to enter the 2013 season. Webb has valuable athleticism and can be used in various ways. He finished the preseason with a team-high 10 receptions for 65 yards and a touchdown.
New England Patriots
19 of 32| Players Cut | TE Jake Ballard, FB Ben Bartholomew, DL Marcus Benard, DE Jermaine Cunningham, LB Ja'Gared Davis, S Kannoris Davis, TE Daniel Fells, DT Marcus Fortson, DE Justin Francis, DB Justin Green, WR Johnathan Haggerty, OL Josh Kline, OL Chris McDonald, LB Tyrone McKenzie, P Zoltan Mesko, DB Stephon Morris, OL Luke Patterson, DL Gilbert Peña, LB Mike Rivera, WR Quentin Sims, OL Matt Stankiewitch, LB Jeff Tarpinian, QB Tim Tebow, DL Scott Vallone, RB George Winn, RB Leon Washington, CB Marquice Cole |
UPDATE: Saturday, August 31, at 10:55 a.m. ET by Patrick Clarke
Arguably the most popular fringe player looking to make an NFL roster this preseason, Tim Tebow has reportedly been released by the New England Patriots, according to ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter via Twitter:
"Patriots released Tim Tebow.
— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) August 31, 2013"
---End of update---
UPDATE: Saturday, August 31, at 10:30 a.m. ET by Patrick Clarke
New England has reportedly cut defensive end Jermaine Cunningham, according to NFL Network reporter Ian Rapoport via Twitter:
"#Patriots cut DE Jermaine Cunningham, former 2nd rounder. Never quite hit his stride, despite flashes (@ProFootballTalk 1st reported)
— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) August 31, 2013"
---End of update---
LeGarrette Blount made the final roster, and after an impressive preseason he could be a big player for the Patriots this season.
New Orleans Saints
20 of 32| Players Cut | NT Isaako Aaitui, OLB Baraka Atkins, DB Chris Carr, QB Ryan Griffin, WR Saalim Hakim, TE Michael Higgins, S Jim Leonhard, FB Austin Johnson, OLB Rufus Johnson, OT Marcel Jones, CB Korey Lindsey, G Elliott Mealer, TE Keavon Milton, S Jerico Nelson, WR Preston Parker, DE Jay Richardson, WR Courtney Roby, CB Jumal Rolle, ILB Ray Shipman, OG Andrew Tiller, C Jeremiah Warren |
Andy Tanner beat out Preston Parker after battling for the final wide receiver spot, while veteran Jim Leonhard was cut.
New York Giants
21 of 32| Players Cut | DT Marvin Austin, LB Kyle Bosworth, DE Matt Broha, OL Bryant Browning, S David Caldwell, OL Selvish Capers, QB David Carr, S David Caldwell, CB Terrence Frederick, OL Stephen Goodin, WR Kevin Hardy, WR Marcus Harris, OL Eric Herman, CB Charles James, DEAdewale Ojomo, OL Matt McCants, S Tyler Sash, WR Julian Talley, RB Ryan Torain, DE Adrian Tracy |
Marvin Austin—a second-round pick in 2011—was cut by the Giants. The team features a highly competitive defensive front, and Austin failed to distinguish himself within that group.
New York Jets
22 of 32| Players Cut | DB Royce Adams, DT Junior Aumavae, WR Michael Campbell, K Dan Carpenter, DT Lanier Coleman, C Erik Cook, LB Troy Davis, LB JoJo Dickson, CB Mike Edwards, DT Tevita Finau, DT Antonio Garay, WR Mohamed Massaquoi, RB Mossis Madu, QB Greg McElroy, SRontez Miles, WR Ben Obomanu, TE Chris Pantale, WR Zach Rogers, LB Jacquies Smith, T Jason Smith, T J.B. Shugarts, RB Kahlil Bell, LB Danny Lansanah |
Wide receiver Mohamed Massaquoi was cut for the second time this preseason (the Jacksonville Jaguars cut him earlier in camp).
Oakland Raiders
23 of 32| Players Cut | DL Ryan Baker, DE David Bass, LB Billy Boyko, DE Andre Carter, CB Chance Casey, OG Jason Foster, LB Omar Gaither, TE Richard Gordon, CB Joselio Hanson, OTTony Hills, WR Greg Jenkins, S Shelton Johnson, TE Briant Leonhardt, OG Lamar Mady, K Justin Medlock, S Reggie Smith, OT Willie Smith, DT Kurt Taufa'asau, LB Chase Thomas, WR Conner Vernon, RB Deonte Williams, QB Tyler Wilson, P Chris Kluwe |
UPDATE: Sunday, September 1, at 3:17 p.m. by Jesse Reed
The Raiders surprisingly cut rookie quarterback Tyler Wilson on Sunday afternoon, just months after spending a fourth-round pick to draft him, as noted by Pro Football Talk:
"Raiders are waiving fourth-round QB Tyler Wilson, per league source.
— ProFootballTalk (@ProFootballTalk) September 1, 2013"
It's a big blow to a team that needs every single draft pick to produce in order to climb out of the AFC West basement. General Manager Reggie McKenzie will undoubtedly be heavily scrutinized by the Raiders organization this season.
---End of update---
Philadelphia Eagles
24 of 32| Players Cut | OT Michael Bamiro, LB Everette Brown, DT Antonio Dixon, QB Dennis Dixon, TE Clay Harbor, DE David King, QB G.J.

Casey Matthews (linebacker, brother of Clay) and Kurt Coleman (safety) survived the Eagles' final cuts and will likely see playing time on defense this year.
Pittsburgh Steelers
25 of 32| Players Cut | RB Alvester Alexander, DE Brian Arnfelt, LB Alan Baxter, WR Justin Brown, WR Reggie Dunn, RB Jonathan Dwyer, LB Terence Garvin, OL Mike Golic Jr., CB Terry Hawthorne, OG Chris Hubbard, OT Joe Long, C Joe Madsen, TE Jamie McCoy, LB Marshall McFadden, WR Kashif Moore, P Brian Moorman, TE Nathan Overbay, LB Brian Rolle, CB Devin Smith, NT Alameda Ta'amu, S Ross Ventrone, CB Josh Victorian |
Felix Jones is on his second roster this summer, but secured a spot with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
San Diego Chargers
26 of 32| Players Cut | OT Nick Becton, OLB Frank Beltre, CB Cornelius Brown, S Sean Cattouse, TE Ben Cotton, CB Marcus Cromartie, LB Phillip Dillard, CB Greg Gatson, DE Logan Harrell, LB Jerrell Harris, RB Michael Hill, CB Josh Johnson, LB Thomas Keiser, WR Robert Meachem, CB William Middleton, CDavid Molk, LB Dan Molls, OT Randy Richards, TE David Rolf, G Stephen Schilling, OT Max Starks, WR Luke Tasker, LB D.J. Smith |
UPDATE: Saturday, August 31, at 5:46 p.m. by Jesse Reed
Robert Meachem didn't survive the final cuts, as reported by Union-Tribune San Diego's Michael Gehlken. This comes just one year after the team signed Meachem as a free agent, meaning the team is still on the hook to pay him a big sum of money, as noted by Gehlken:
"The Chargers will pay Robert Meachem millions this season to play somewhere else.
They notified the wide receiver Saturday afternoon they've "let him go," a source said, ending a high-priced union that proved a poor fit for both sides. The cut comes before the second season of a four-year contract that fully guaranteed Meachem $14 million, including a $7.5 million signing bonus and his $5 million base salary this year.
"
---End of update---
UPDATE: Friday, August 30, at 9:22 p.m.
NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported that the Chargers had a competition between King Dunlap and Max Starks at left tackle, and that Starks lost, getting cut on Friday. The 31-year-old started all 16 games for the Pittsburgh Steelers last season, and don't be surprised if he ends up there again this offseason.
---End of update---
San Francisco 49ers
27 of 32| Players Cut | OL Carter Bykowski, WR Austin Collie, DB Marcus Cooper, TE MarQueis Gray, WR Chad Hall, WR Lavelle Hawkins, LB Joe Holland, WR Chuck Jacobs, LS Brian Jennings, LB Travis Johnson, DB Darryl Morris, OL Patrick Omameh, WR Kassim Osgood, NT Mike Purcell, S Trenton Robinson, FB Jason Schepler, S Michael Thomas, OL Wayne Tribue, QB Seneca Wallace, OT Kenny Wiggins |
Seneca Wallace will be cut by the San Francisco 49ers and will reportedly retire from football, according to Matt Barrows of The Sacramento Bee (via NFL.com). Veteran Austin Collie was also released as the 49ers pared the roster down to 53.
Seattle Seahawks
28 of 32| Players Cut | WR Phil Bates, DT Michael Brooks, DT Dewayne Cherrington, WR Arceto Clark, TEDarren Fells, DB Winston Guy, WR Chris Harper, TE Cooper Helfet, DT Jaye Howard, G Rishaw Johnson, DT Clinton McDonald, TE Sean McGrath, DB Ron Parker, LB Ty Powell, QB Brady Quinn, FBMichael Robinson, G Ryan Seymour, DE DeShawn Shead, DT Sealver Siliga, G Jared Smith, WR Bryant Walters, CB Antoine Winfield |

Antoine Winfield has decided to retire from the NFL, as reported by Tom Pelissero of USA Today. Head coach Pete Carroll shared this comment about the veteran corner:
""Wishing Antoine Winfield the best in his decision to retire," Seahawks coach Pete Carroll posted on Twitter. "He's a consummate pro and a great team player. We were lucky to have him!"
"
---End of update---
UPDATE: Saturday, August 31, at 10:15 a.m. ET by Patrick Clarke
The Seahawks, one of the NFL's most loaded teams in the secondary, are reportedly set to cut veteran defensive back Antoine Winfield, according to CBS Sports' NFL insider Jason La Canfora via Twitter:
"Hearing that the Seahawks, so deep in the secondary, will be releasing CB Antoine Winfield.
— Jason La Canfora (@JasonLaCanfora) August 31, 2013"
---End of update---
UPDATE: Friday, August 30, at 9:13 p.m. ET by Joseph Zucker
Michael Robinson tweeted that he had been cut by the Seahawks. He said, "Been real 12th man will always have love for ya." Robinson spent the last three seasons in Seattle.
---End of update---
St. Louis Rams
29 of 32| Players Cut | WR Emory Blake, DE Mason Brodine, LB Sammy Brown, QB Austin Davis, S Cody Davis, DT Garrett Goebel, S Rashard Hall, OT Sean Hooey, LB Josh Hull, WR Nick Johnson, OL Ryan Lee, TE Philip Lutzenkirchen, DE Andre Martin, OL Ty Nsekhe, TE Zach Potter, FB Eric Stevens, CB Drew Thomas, WR Justin Veltung, DE R.J. Washington, CB Darren Woodard, OT D.J. Young |
The Rams surprisingly cut rookie quarterback Austin Davis, meaning the team will enter the season with just two quarterbacks on the roster.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
30 of 32| Players Cut | OG Roger Allen, S Sean Baker, CB Deveron Carr, OL Jace Daniels, LB Dom DeCicco, LS Andrew DePaola, K Derek Dimke, WR David Douglas, DT Gary Gibson, LB Ka'Lial Glaud, S Cody Grimm, P Chas Henry, DT Lazarius Levingston, DT Matthew Masifilo, WR Jordan Norwood, DT Andre Neblett, TE Danny Noble, WR Chris Owusu, T Mike Remmers, CB Mason Robinson, G Cody Wallace, WR Tiquan Underwood, LB Najee Goode |

The Titans cut fourth-year quarterback Rusty Smith, but according to Paul Kuharsky of ESPN.com, the team hopes he'll clear waivers so it can put him on the practice squad and stash him in case the need arises later in the season for another quarterback.
Washington Redskins
32 of 32| Players Cut | DE Chigbo Anunoby, DT Ron Brace, WR Dezmon Briscoe, LB Marvin Burdette, LB Will Compton, RB Tristan Davis, WR Skye Dawson, S DeJon Gomes, DE Dominique Hamilton, RB Jawan Jamison, WR Lance Lewis, C Kevin Matthews, CB Chase Minnifield, LB Roddrick Muckelroy, OT Xavier Nixon, TE Emmanuel Ogbuehi, OT Tony Pashos, LB Vic So'oto, OL Tevita Stevens, RB Keiland Williams, WR Nick Williams |
The ever-athletic Pat White earned a spot with the Washington Redskins, while Keiland Williams was the victim of a crowded backfield.
