    Cuts to 75:

    AFC East

    Jets

    Cuts to get to 75: WR Jacoby Ford, TE Colin Anderson, FB Chad Young, DE Anthony Grady, CB Ras-I Dowling, T Bruce Campbell, LB Steele Divitto, OL Patrick Ford, K Andrew Furney, P Jacob Schum, RB Michael Smith, OL Markus Zusevics

    Our thoughts: Jacoby Ford, who had 53 kickoff returns for 1,280 yards and three touchdowns with Oakland in 2010, was brought in to compete as one of the team's primary returners but had a terrible preseason.

    Dowling, a 2012 second-round pick, continues to have a disappointing, injury-filled career.

    Dolphins

    Cuts to get to 75: DB Jalil Brown, TE Michael Egnew, DT Micajah Reynolds, OL Steven Baker, S Demetrius Wright, K John Potter, TE Brett Brackett, CB Steven Clarke, DE Rakim Cox, DT Cory Grissom, C Tyler Larsen and WR Ryan Spadola, WR Armon Binns

    Our thoughts: Michael Egnew was a third-round pick in 2012 who never lived up to potential. He was supposed to be a go-to for QB Ryan Tannehill, drafted the same year.

    Bills

    Cuts to get to 75: QB Dennis Dixon, DT Alan Branch, S Derek Brim, P Jake Dombrowski, WRTori Gurley, S Jajuan Harley, K Dustin Hopkins, DT Damien Jacobs, C Macky MacPherson, WR Chris Summers, G J.J. ‘Unga, RB Ronnie Wingo

    Our thoughts: Could Dennis Dixon find a home in Philadelphia, where his former college coach Chip Kelly is stockpiling Ducks?

    Patriots

    Cuts to get to 75: LB James Anderson, DL Tommy Kelly, DL Will Smith, TE Justin Jones, DT Ben Bass, CB Travis Hawkins, WR Derrick Johnson, LB Deontae Skinner, DB Jemea Thomas and WR Wilson Van Hooser

    Our thoughts: The 33-year-old Smith (67.5 career sacks) is coming off a torn ACL, and reportedly, he looks like he might be done as a player.

    AFC North

    Ravens

    Cuts to get to 75: S Omar Brown, LB Nick DiMarco, P Richie Leone, OT David Mims, CB Marrio Norman, CB Deji Olatoye, LB Austin Spitler, WR LaQuan Williams, WR Mike Willie, RB Cierre Wood, FB Shaun Chapas, OT Brett Van Sloten

    Bengals

    Cuts to get to 75: CB R.J. Stanford, DT Larry Black, S Isaiah Lewis, K Quinn Sharp, WR Ryan Whalen, TE Kevin Brock, WR Jasper Collins, LB James Davidson, QB Matt Scott. Waived/injured: CB Lavelle Westbrooks, Linebacker JK Schaffer

    Browns

    Cuts to get to 75: WR Anthony Armstrong, DB Royce Adams, RB Edwin Baker, OL Randall Harris, DB T.J. Heath, DL Cam Henderson, WR Jonathan Krause, OL Ryan Lee, LB Caleb McSurdy, OL Keavon Milton, LB Keith Pough, WR Tim Smith, OL Jeremiah Warren, TEMartell Webb

    Our thoughts: Armstrong produced 44 catches for 871 yards in 2010 for the Redskins, but if he can't stick in this Browns receiving corps, that doesn't say great things about his future prospects.

    Steelers

    Cuts to get to 75: RB Jordan Hall, RB Miguel Maysonet, WR C.J. Goodwin, WR Kashif Moore, TE Eric Waters, S Jordan Dangerfield, CB Devin Smith, CB Lewis Toler, LB Vic So'oto, OL Chris Elkins, OL Emmanuel McCray, DL Hebron Fangupo, DL Brian Arnfelt, LS Luke Ingram, RB Tauren Poole



    AFC South

    Texans

    Cuts to get to 75: WR Joe Adams, NT Austin Brown, NT David Hunter, WR Alec Lemon, LB Terrance Lloyd, OL Sam Longo, CB Junior Mertile, RB William Powell, LB Lawrence Sidbury, OLB Paul Hazel, OG Conor Boffeli, WR Anthony McClung

    Colts

    Cuts to get to 75: CB Johnny Adams, CB Qua Cox, G Andre Cureton, G Marcus Hall, CBKameron Jackson, WR Nu'Keese Richardson, LB Jonathon Sharpe, S David Sims, WR Eric Thomas, WR Tony Washington, FB Cam White

    Jaguars

    Cuts to get to 75: CB Mike Harris, WR Ramses Barden, LB Allen Bradford, G Antoine Caldwell, LB Josh Hull, RB Harvey Unga, S Joe Young, C Patrick Lewis, DT David Carter, LSCharley Hughlett, WR Kenny Shaw

    Titans

    Cuts to get to 75: LB Kendrick Adams, CB Marc Anthony, DL Lanier Coleman, OL Kevin Danser, OL Tyler Horn, WR Julian Horton, RB Waymon James, CB Micah Pellerin, WR Jaz Reynolds, S Hakeem Smith, WR Derel Walker, LB Jonathan Willard, LB David Hinds, WR Isaiah Williams and OL Gabe Ikard

    Our thoughts: Winston Justice is a fun guy to interview -- especially if you talk about his Winston Bustice nickname -- but he's battled injuries and subpar play for much of his career.

    Our thoughts: Adrian Wilson has had a strong 12-year career, but after dealing with heel issues last year, the soon-to-be 35-year-old's career is in jeopardy.

    Jordan Palmer, meanwhile, reportedly has signed with the Bills.

    Lions

    Cuts to get to 75: G Alex Bullard, G A.J. Dalton, DT Gregory Hickman, RB Steven Miller, DE Kris Redding, WR Conner Vernon, QB James Franklin, FB Chad Abram, P Drew Butler, CB Jonte Green, CB Aaron Hester and K Giorgio Tavecchio

    Cuts to get to 75: WR Tiquan Underwood, WR Toney Clemons, P Jordan Gay, DT Linden Gaydosh, DE Alex Hall, OT Oscar Johnson, WR Marvin McNutt, LB Anthony Morales, WRKealoha Pilares, DE Craig Roh

    Our thoughts: At this point, it seems that Tiquan Underwood will be most remembered for getting cut by the Patriots the day before New England played in the Super Bowl.

    NFC West

    Cardinals

    Cuts to get to 75: K Jay Feely, QB Ryan Lindley, OT Max Starks, LB Keenan Clayton, LB JoJo Dickson, C Tommie Draheim, WR Reggie Dunn, LB Derrell Johnson, S Orhian Johnson, WR Kevin Ozier, DT Justin Renfrow, CB Brandon Sermons, RB Damien Thigpen

    Our thoughts: Jay Feely missed a 48-yard field goal in the team's third preseason game, and the Cardinals decided to go with the fresher leg of Chandler Catanzaro.

    Only thing on that scrap heap worth looking at, and I mean 1 to 100 odds, is Armstrong.

    Hehe, yeah I won't be surprised. I'll be posting final cuts here as well. Those are the ones I'm interested in, especially the players team are trying to sneak through waivers onto their PS under the new PS rules.

    Alan Branch was cut in Buffalo for getting a DUI at 3 AM saturday morning before saturday afternoon's game. He was pulled over because he was hurling out the window he was so hammered.

    Wade Smith seems intriguing as he's only two years removed from a pro bowl berth. He doesn't fit into the youth movement the Jets are pushing but it seems silly to get our young quarterback killed if a starter goes down. It hurts his progress more than it hurts the progress of young lineman thrown into the fire.

    I feel as though offensive line is one of the only places that the youth movement doesn't need to occur right away if capable players are out there.

    Then again I don't know anything about his progression to this point, he could be 30 pounds overweight and terribly slow at this point.

    Didn't he play here before years ago or am I thinking of another Wade Smith?

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say the Jordan Palmer definitely starts a game or two for Buffalo this season haha

    It would seem crazy that the niners would give up a 4th round pick and then cut him but yea - we should definitely be all over that if he's cut. He's a pretty good receiver and I'm sure he'd love to stick it to the team that traded him away.

    Exactly - plus he's a good weapon against Revis. It's unlikely but we can hope.

    Totally forgot that he does relatively well against Revis too. Wouldn't that be nice to shove up Belichicks ass.

    I'd be 100% behind signing Stevie Johnson.

    I don't want Johnson
