2020 NFL roster cuts Our 32 takeaways include odd moves for Raiders and Cowboys kicker questions and

One of the toughest days of every football season comes the weekend before Week 1, as NFL teams are forced to reduce their rosters to 53 players. De'Anthony Melton Jersey Most years, unheralded players are able to win spots in certain situations with standout performances in game situations, but thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic, all preseason games were canceled this season, leaving those underdogs with le s of a chance to make an impre sion.Still, some players were able to use their practice time wisely and unseat more proven options on the depth chart. That includes in Green Bay, where won the last spot at receiver over , and in Pittsburgh, where was able to beat out . Some moves caused us to scratch our heads, including the trading for a lower value than the third-round pick they spent on him in April, as well as the reversing course on veteran safety after signing him earlier this offseason.We'll have one takeaway from every team below, but you can also from the weekend. : Fromm survivesThe Bills spent a fifth-round pick on in this year's draft with the hope that he could challenge for the backup spot at quarterback behind , but instead he found himself in a battle with to be the team's No. 3 option at the position. Speculation emerged that Fromm could fail to make the initial roster despite the draft pick invested in him back in April, but in the end it was Webb who found himself on the cut list. Buffalo did only keep four cornerbacks on the initial roster, so it's po sible there are more moves on the way. One of those four, , also reportedly agreed to a ma sive extension on Saturday, keeping him in Buffalo for years to come. : Rosen on the move againThe made the No. 10 overall pick of the 2018 NFL Draft only to give up on the quarterback once the team found themselves with the top overall pick in 2019 and the opportunity to draft . So they sent Rosen to the Dolphins in exchange for a second-round pick, and Rosen again struggled when given an opportunity with his new team. With the Dolphins also landing an expected franchise pa ser at No. 5 overall this year, Rosen's only chance at sticking in Miami was if the team decided to keep three quarterbacks, po sibly due to concern about health as he recovered from multiple injuries that ended his final collegiate season. But Tagovailoa is apparently healthy enough to serve as the team's backup to start the year, and that leaves Rosen off the initial roster and looking for his third team in three years. : Kicker job goes to who?The Patriots surprisingly made the first kicker off the board during the 2020 draft when they selected the Marshall product in the fifth round. That made him the favorite to take the reins from heading into 2020, but the Patriots brought back to compete for the kicking job as well. After news emerged that Rohrwa ser was one of Saturday's cuts, it appeared Folk had won that competition. Sean McDermott Jersey However, Folk also found himself on the team's list of cuts. So who's kicking for the Patriots in Week 1? Your gue s is as good as ours. : New plans at centerOffensive lineman has been forced to play plenty at center for the Jets over the last few seasons, including starting 18 games in 2018-19. Despite his experience, the Jets decided to move on from the seven-year veteran. With also part of the team's cuts, that leaves an open question who will get the nod if a fill-in is needed at center. Perhaps Harrison will eventually make his way back onto the roster with a non-guaranteed salary, but for now Adam Gase's offense enters the season with just nine offensive linemen, including several new faces after an offseason makeover. : Going sparse at tight endThe Ravens last year were marked by Tyus Jones Jersey great depth at the tight end position, trotting out receiving threat , blocking weapon and former first-round pick . With Hurst traded to the this offseason, it was an open question who would emerge as the third option at the position this summer. And it turns out, so far, no one. The Ravens cut all three of the tight ends left on the roster on Saturday, including , and UDFA . Fullback Patrick Ricard can fill in at tight end if needed, but expect Baltimore to be on the lookout for a third tight end as they sift through available players as well. : Eyeing the wireThe Bengals didn't have much drama when it came to their cut day, with the most surprising perhaps being the decision to keep only two quarterbacks considering and have a total of three career starts between them. and Jacob Dolegala, both waived on Saturday, are candidates to land on the practice squad. But the interesting part of the equation comes on Sunday, as the Bengals hold the No. 1 waiver priority as teams sift through the mountain of cuts made this weekend. Will Cincinnati add to their corner depth with hurt? Will they find a veteran presence at quarterback? We'll know in le s than 24 hours. : Tight Dillon Brooks Jersey end party for StefanskiWith Kevin Stefanski taking over the reins in Cleveland, we knew we'd see plenty of attention paid to the tight end position as the new coach incorporates multiple-TE looks into the offensive regularly. Not only did they not trade after handing a ma sive contract during the offseason, but the Browns went back to the well by selecting well-regarded tight end prospect in the fourth round of the draft. That's an impre sive top three at the position, and it figured to leave and likely fighting for one spot. Well, it turns out neither player was on the team's cut list for Saturday, setting the Browns up with a whopping tight ends to start the year. Get used to seeing plenty of bodies at the position on the field for Cleveland. : McCloud takes Switzer's spotAfter serving as the team's primary return and part of the receiver rotation in 2018, Ryan Switzer saw his role reduced last year. The Steelers signed Ray-Ray McCloud, a third-year pro who also has returner experience, during camp and ultimately decided to keep him around on the initial roster while sending Switzer packing. He was one of five receivers to mi s on an initial roster spot for Pittsburgh, with , , and also on the outside looking in. That leaves just McCloud behind the team's top four of , , and rookie . : Depth a problem on O-lineThe big news on Saturday for Houston was of course , and perhaps the most notable cut on Saturday was a player who has spent plenty of time blocking for him over the years. made 28 starts for the Texans over the last four years but managed to play in just nine games (one start) last year as the team finally found a line combination that had some level of succe s. While Houston's starting five is locked in, they'll have plenty of questions to answer in terms of depth with Mancz, , , , , and also failing to make the initial roster. That leaves just , and 2020 fourth-round pick to serve as depth, so expect at least one more name brought aboard in the coming days. : New kicker in town poor performance in 2019 cost Indy potential wins and left the team looking for a new kicker for the first time since 2006. With part of Saturday's cuts, that leaves the job to undrafted free agent . The Georgia kicker, who wears thick gla ses during games, hit on 82.5 percent of his field-goal attempts at the collegiate level and earned the Lou Groza Award, given to the nation's top kicker, last season. : Turning page at RBThe Jaguars' most notable cut came earlier in the week when the team parted ways with former No. 4 overall pick , who went on to agree to a new deal with the Bucs. That left five running backs on the roster as contenders to replace Fournette's huge role in the offense. The a sumed leader of the pack, , was placed on the COVID reserve list, and while one of the team's two UDFAs, , couldn't crack the initial 53-man roster, the other did. racked up 4,444 rushing yards and 46 rushing touchdowns in his Illinois State career, and now he'll get the opportunity to compete for touches with and Jay Gruden favorite should Armstead stay on the Jahlil Tripp Jersey reserve list for Week 1. : Hea
