The first Tuesday after the final NFL Preseason game is always a tough one in league circles. It’s the annual NFL cut down day where teams must reduce their rosters from the 90-man units they had during offseason and training camp to the 53-man rosters they’ll take into the regular season.

That means roughly 1,000 players will lose their jobs on this day, and while some will latch onto other teams or sign with practice squads, that isn’t the case with all.
