Every roster spot calls take
726–750 of 2,426
Joe Andreessen to make the roster
Only days away from the cutdown deadline, it appears as if Andreessen is safe.
Javon Solomon to make the roster
These four Bills' backups appear safe come cutdown day ... He has since, however, made a strong case as to why Buffalo needs to keep him.
Damar Hamlin to make the roster
his experience has paid dividends this summer, and he's trending toward earning one of four safety spots.
Rene Konga — “should be back in 2027”
Konga signed the standard three-year contract as a UDFA, so he should be back in 2027
Joshua Weru to make the roster
Weru has remarkedly improved over the past month, enough where the Eagles seriously have to consider keeping him on the 53.
T.J. Hall to be cut
we believe that means TJ Hall is destined for a practice squad membership as well
Lorenzo Styles to be cut
Our Picks for Who Will Probably Be Waived / Safety - Lorenzo Styles Jr ... we are thinking the Saints will bring him back onto the practice squad, if he clears waivers.
Odell Beckham Jr. to make the roster
The loss of Austin, who was expected to have a big role as the slot receiver, improves Odell Beckham Jr.'s chances of making the 53-player roster.
Javon Solomon to make the roster
Once thought to be on the Bills' roster bubble, it's sounding like Solomon is a lock for the fifth outside linebacker spot.
Terry McLaurin to make the roster
Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs are going nowhere
Stefon Diggs to make the roster
Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs are going nowhere
Chris Oladokun to land on the practice squad
Chris Oladokun is expected to remain on the practice squad this season as the QB3 or QB4 in waiting
Luther Burden III — “expected back for Week 1 after groin injury”
Burden suffered a groin injury on Aug. 8, which is expected to keep him out throughout the preseason, but he is expected back for Week 1.
John Metchie III to make the roster
John Metchie was a Week 2 standout who seemingly solidified his spot on the team
Marquez Valdes-Scantling to be cut
There are probably not enough scraps left to pick up behind CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and the rest.
Noah Igbinoghene to make the roster
he might be able to secure a backup cornerback job in Seattle now that he has shown more ability to cover on the perimeter
Phillip Dorsett to land on the practice squad
Dorsett spent the 2025 season on the Raiders' practice squad and is likely destined for the same fate this year
Jerry Tillery to be cut
while Tillery is arguably good enough to make the roster, there is only room for so many defensive tackles
Tim Patrick to be cut
His comeback story might reach a roadblock in New York
Laquon Treadwell to be cut
there is already precedent for his release
Mazi Smith to be cut
the Jets have a new-look defense that might not include Smith
Van Jefferson to be cut
He could carve out that same role with the Commanders, but it could be difficult considering the team's wide receiver depth.
Khalil Herbert to be cut
Herbert ... looks to be one of multiple roster-limit casualties, as San Francisco can only carry so much insurance for Christian McCaffrey
Evan Neal to be cut
His value has tanked, and there is a new coaching staff in place, so it is entirely possible that Neal goes from a highly touted potential cornerstone tackle to an afterthought on the interior in just four years.
Emmanuel Ogbah to be cut
the summer acquisition is no guarantee to stick around into the regular season
