Some fans, and especially players, will be glad to see it come to an end, but it is usually one of the most cut-throat parts of the business. All 32 NFL teams must cut down to 53 players on their active roster by Tuesday, Aug. 29.
During the 2023 NFL Owners Meetings, a proposal was approved that has removed the gradual trimming of the roster, with it being one deadline to cut down from a 90-man to a 53-man roster. PFN’s NFL roster cuts tracker will have all of the cuts made when the final 53-man rosters are revealed.
