Overview
- By the 4 p.m. ET deadline Tuesday, all 32 clubs must trim from 90 to 53, a process coaches describe as a difficult, human-heavy day for players and staffs.
- More than 1,100 players are expected to lose active-roster spots during the league-wide reduction.
- Early moves included Arizona’s first 12 releases featuring quarterback Clayton Tune, and reports across the league highlighted notable cuts such as Tyler Huntley, La'el Collins, Hendon Hooker, Cam Akers, Mike Hilton, Shilo Sanders, Ryan Stonehouse and Kyle Trask.
- Players with fewer than four accrued seasons are subject to waivers through noon ET Wednesday, with the Tennessee Titans holding the top claim priority, while vested veterans become free agents immediately.
- After waivers, teams may build practice squads of up to 16 players plus a potential 17th International Player Pathway slot, which Arizona plans to use on offensive lineman Roy Mbaeteka.
