NFL veterans in danger of being cut include Giants’ Tommy DeVito, pair of Patriots’ receivers, more


Summer dog days soon ended in the NFL. The SLOG of the pre-season is a week before the end, while the start of the regular season is 17 days. Yes, we are so close to football that counts.
The last week of the pre-season is essential around the league. The teams work to finalize their lists of 53 men and the players have a week of training in training camp – and a pre -season match – to make a final impression. The leaders and coaches of the Front Office will then have to make decisions on the reduction of the 90 men’s training camp lists on their initial list of 53 men, followed by a training team of 16 men (10 of these players must be first or second players).
One of the busiest weeks of the NFL calendar arrives, which means a heavy turnover around the league. Some recruits are fighting to make lists to proven veterans, who always hope to maintain their NFL career alive. Of course, veterans can land in another team, but they have spent the whole offense to learn a game book and a system in their current organization.
These are veteran players who may be cut before the deadline for 53 men on August 26. Of course, these players can find themselves in their team’s training team – but they must monitor their status on the initial list of 53 men.
The loads have an interesting situation behind Justin Herbert in the quarter. Trey Lance has played this pre-season well, and it is an old first round choice that is only 25 years old. The loads have more explosive games under Lance, which can add an additional element to its game with its race capacity.
Heinicke did not inspire this pre-season and is 32 years old. If the charges keep only two quarters, Lance obtains the advantage on Heinicke.
Strange is one of the last remaining choices of the Bill Belichick era, and his career in New England has not been well so. He was the favorite to win the left -to -left childcare position in the camp, but Jared Wilson exceeded him for this role.
The injuries affected Strange’s career in the NFL, but he fell into disgrace. The Patriots have already refused its fifth year option. He slipped into the depth painting and the patriots do not seem to have a defined role for the old choice of first round.
This is simply a number of figures, because Devito has always been a long time to list 53 men. The Giants have Russell Wilson as a starter, Jameis Winston as a backup, and Jaxson Dart ready to grasp playing time as a first round choice.
Of course, they could cut Winston, but it is a good n ° 2 and buy more time for Dart to develop. Devito could be on a list of 53 men somewhere.
Hill is currently on the list of puppies, because he recovers from a torn LCA. He should stay on the list of puppies to start the season, like head coach Kellen Moore revealed that last week, Hill was not close to a return to the field.
Hill is still a healthy playmaker, but saints could save $ 10 million for the 2025 salary ceiling if they cut him. Hill is unlikely to be cut, but he will not return to the first month of the season either. The saints can hide Hill on PUP so that he does not have to take a place of 53 men.
The Patriots reorganized the broader receiver this offseason, adding Stefon Diggs and Mack Hollins in the free agency and Kyle Williams in the third round of the draft. All three are locks on the list, while EFTON CHISM III was noticeable in joint practices with the Vikings. Demario Douglas and Kayshon Boutte also seem to have room.
Bourne is a good veteran of the young room of the wide receiver and could stay. He is also 30 years old and the patriots are in a reconstruction. He had only 305 yards and a hit last season, so production and age can weigh the role of leadership.
The choice of the second round in 2024 was a huge disappointment in the past year and does not seem to adapt to what Mike Vrabel Research. A shoulder injury in the first pre-season match did not help and was unproductive in its seven departures (12 catches for 87 yards in 15 games).
Javon Baker, a choice of fourth round of this same class, has a better chance of making the team.
Renfrow is trying to return from the NFL with the Panthers while sat all last season. The former 1,000 yards receiver had only 585 reception yards combined since the 2021 season and hopes for a resurgence in Caroline.
Panthers have a large logjam, making it a long -term revenue makes the team. He will have to beat David Moore and Brycen Tremayne to make the list. If Renfrow does not do so, it will be due to the value of the special teams.
The former first round choice has just signed with Falcons last week after spending most of last season in the Steelers training team. Henderson is only 26 years old, but he is there for the depth of the training camp.
Atlanta is likely to pass the cutting strokes once.
Ojulari began to camp slow, but performed well in joint practices against the Browns during last week. He even had a bag during the pre-season match on Saturday.
While Ojulari is currently the rusher on board n ° 4 on the table of depths, it should be part of the rotation of the Rusher Edge in Philadelphia. It is unlikely to be cut, unless the Eagles are negotiated against a rusher on board before the season. This could make ojulari consumable.
The Battle of CB2 is still underway in Philadelphia, and Jackson is the oldest half in the war corner at 29 years old. He outlined Kelee Ringo, but the Eagles exchanged for Jakorian Bennett to compete for these start -up representatives. Bennett is starting to get looks with the first team.
The defensive coordinator of the Eagles, Vic Fangio, does not seem to be a fan of Jackson, making his chances of winning the even more difficult starting work. Winning only $ 1.5 million, Jackson could be consumed if Eagles opt with younger options (like Eli Ricks).
Johnson had trouble in joint practices with the Eagles, victim of several drops during the week. He also had a bad route during the Saturday pre-season match which led to the Pick-Six of Andrew Mukuba for the Eagles.
Johnson can still run roads at 29, but the Browns may want to go with a younger option that can develop. He will be on the bubble of the list.
The giants have a good start of start at Theo Johnson, while Greg Dulcich impressed in the camp. Chris Manhertz is also a list locking. This is to be bellinger in a battle of alignment with the recruit of seventh round Thomas Fidone – if the giants keep four tight ends.
Bellinger went from the potential starter to cut the candidate in a month.
Steelers also have options at the tight end. Pat Freiermuth is the starter and Jonnu Smith has been acquired in a off -season business, so these are the clear locks. Washington is a nice player, but Connor Heyward can play back and be used as an additional blocker.
If the Steelers keep four tight ends, Washington is on the list. If they hold three, third place is between Washington and Heyward. Washington is also a good red zone target, making the decision more difficult.
The drop that Jefferson had on a perfect pass by Cam Ward on a post route this weekend may have sealed his fate with the Titans. Ward’s throw was his best of the night and would have made a touchdown. The game is an NFL receiver must do.
Jefferson does not add any capacity of special teams like James near it is a return man, so nearby would probably get the head sign. Special teams make Jefferson consumable when they fight for a place of 53 men.
