Overview

• By the 4 p.m. ET Tuesday deadline, all clubs trimmed from 90 to 53 players, with sub–four‑year players subject to waivers and vested veterans entering free agency immediately.
• Recognizable cuts and available players include quarterbacks Tyler Huntley and Tommy DeVito, punter Ryan Stonehouse, guard La’el Collins, cornerback Mike Hilton and quarterback Hendon Hooker.
• The Patriots’ initial 53 lists two quarterbacks (Joshua Dobbs, Drake Maye) and eight wide receivers, with surprise moves including waiving 2022 first-rounder Cole Strange and rookie edge rusher Bradyn Swinson.
• Waiver claims are now active, and the Tennessee Titans hold the top priority based on the current order.
• Practice squads can begin forming at noon ET Wednesday, and teams are expected to tweak depth via claims and signings, with New England a candidate to seek tight end and offensive line help.
