August 27 is when NFL dreams die.
That’s 2024’s cut down date — the deadline before which teams have to trim their preseason rosters down from 90 men to the regular season limit of 53. That means veterans and rookies alike will be told to clean out their lockers and move on.
A few will be snapped up by other teams. Many more will glide through to the practice squad, their goal deferred but not squashed. Others won’t be as lucky and instead look forward to other pro leagues or a life outside football in general.
Here’s a rundown of who each team has let go as the preseason rumbles to a close, presented by franchise in alphabetical order. This list will be updated as more cuts roll in.
