Star quarterbacks such as Joe Burrow and Jalen Hurts could have new backups after a trio of notable signal-callers from the NFC became available due to roster cuts.
Forming a 53-man roster doesn’t necessarily mean keeping the best players. Instead, it’s about making the math work at every position and making sure there are enough quality special teams players.
Quarterbacks weren’t the only surprises from Tuesday’s roster cutdown deadline. A reliable veteran cornerback was released in New Orleans, and a former 1,000-yard rusher is again looking for a new home.
