This article will be updated continuously.
Squad cut deadline in LIVETICKER
2:55 p.m .: On the subject, Pats Head Coach Bill Belichick said a few minutes ago: “It just didn’t work as well as we had imagined.” However, he has a lot of respect for Sanu, to whom he certified that he had tried everything. Well then.
2:50 p.m .: One firing that came as no surprise was that of Mohamed Sanu from the New England Patriots. Undoubtedly a good wide receiver, but not one that really fit into the Patriots offense. He would probably only have been number 4 in the receiver pecking order behind Edelman, Harry and Camp surprise Damiere Byrd. $ 6.5 million in salary was probably too much.
2.45 p.m .: Thomas isn’t the only notable free agent, however. Let’s not forget edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney! It’s still looking, but could be back in action shortly. As reported by several media outlets, the Seattle Seahawks – his previous team – and the New Orleans Saints are said to be showing great interest. Both put pressure on, mobilize their players to advertise for him and would like to have him in training on Monday.
2.35 p.m .: Of course, the latter directly causes new speculation about Earl Thomas, whom the Baltimore Ravens have put in front of the door. Cowboys and Thomas, a never-ending story. Will it work this time?

RILEY REIFF – Left Tackle, Minnesota Vikings: Actually the clear starter in Minnesota – but after the trade for Ngakoue, Minnesota has to create financial leeway. Reiff’s contract is to be restructured, if he does not agree, the cut threatens!

DEANDRE BAKER – Cornerback, New York Giants: Baker faces court after a robbery. According to media reports, the Giants are planning without him and are thinking about a quick breakup.

GIOVANI BERNARD – Running Back, Cincinnati Bengals: Behind starter Joe Mixon there is an oversupply of tailbacks. Of these, Bernard is the most expensive and oldest actor, which makes him dispensable.

CAMERON BRATE – Tight End, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: With Rob Gronkowski and OJ Howard, the Bucs have two stars who are ahead of Brate in the depth chart, which is not cheap. A trade or a cut could be pending here.

CHRIS CARSON – Running Back, Seattle Seahawks: 6 running backs are in the Seahawks’ squad, so Carson doesn’t necessarily have to be kept with Penny, Hyde and rookie DeeJay Dallas in the back.

TEVIN COLEMAN – Running Back, San Francisco 49ers: The Scheme is the star of the Niners and Mostert Coleman has overtaken the rank in it. Behind it there are enough alternatives to the rather expensive ex-Falcon.

KEKE COUTEE – Wide Receiver, Houston Texans: Currently, Coutee would probably only be number 6 on the Texans’ depth chart – as a backup of slot receiver Randall Cobb. Has remained rather pale in the league in two years.

TYRONE CRAWFORD – Edge Rusher, Dallas Cowboys: Crawford got rid of his starter job after a manageable preseason and the signing of Everson Griffen. A layoff would also bring almost $ 7 million to Cap Space.

RASUL DOUGLAS – Defensive Back, Philadelphia Eagles: Douglas was part of the defensive Achilles heel of the Eagles Defense last year and after Darius Slay’s arrival is unlikely to have any regular playing time.

ROYCE FREEMAN – Running Back, Denver Broncos: Lindsay and newcomer Gordon are clearly in front of him. Behind it, rookie Bellamy is also scratching his feet. A discharge would therefore not be surprising.

TED GINN Jr. – Wide Receiver, Chicago Bears: The 35-year-old is not sure of his place with the Bears. The chances are even good that they mostly play with 12 people, i.e. with only 2 wide receivers. That would probably only be a backup job for Ginn.

SHAQUEM GRIFFIN – Edge Rusher, Seattle Seahawks: It has become quiet about THE draft story 2018. The defender, who was born with only one hand, was not exactly effective in the league in two years and could now fall victim to the cut.

CHAD HENNE – Quarterback, Kansas City Chiefs: Mahomes’ other backup, Matt Moore, is fit again, so the question arises as to whether another skilled backup is needed. The bottom line is rather not; the management position can be filled more sensibly.

BRIAN HOYER – Quarterback, New England Patriots: Hoyer came to protect the team behind Stidham as he knows the system well. But with Cam Newton’s arrival, Hoyer is again the fifth wheel on the car.

TY MONTGOMERY – Running Back, New Orleans Saints: Actually, Montgomery, as a trained wide receiver, fits perfectly into the Saints system, but there are simply too many running backs for Montgomery to often see the field here.

NATHAN PETERMAN – Quarterback, Las Vegas Raiders: Coach Gruden likes Peterman, but after giving Mariota a rather lucrative Prove-it deal, Peterman should be obsolete.

HAASON REDDICK – Linebacker, Arizona Cardinals: With the arrival of Campbell, Kennard and Simmons, there is actually no more room for Reddick, especially since his Fith-Year option was passed.

JOSH ROSEN – Quarterback, Miami Dolphins: Ryan Fitzpatrick will overtake him in the current training camp. Also, like Tua, shouldn’t convince in training. Do the Dolphins keep roses as a hedge to give Tua time?

MOHAMED SANU – Wide Receiver, New England Patriots: The Patriots gave Sanu a second round pick. However, he has not really convinced so far and could be overtaken by younger alternatives in the camp.

JAMAAL WILLIAMS – Running Back, Green Bay Packers: Aaron Jones is the clear starter, second round pick AJ Dillon the future. What does it do to Williams, who currently has 4 youngsters as competitors? A potential cut candidate.

2.30 p.m .: Peterson is without a doubt the biggest name to fall victim to the Cut so far. Before that, the Dallas Cowboys surprised last night with the sacking of Safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix. That one was surprisingly dismissed because safety is actually a problem area for cowboys. And because the cowboys guaranteed him $ 2.250 million!
2.20 p.m .: Great upheaval in Washington’s backfield with it. Weeks ago, Derrius Guice was dismissed because of private problems – domestic violence – and now also Peterson. That means that third-round pick Antonio Gibson will be the new lead-back. Behind it are Peyton Barber, JD McKissic and Bryce Love.
Washington Football Team entlässt Adrian Peterson
2.10 p.m .: That was unexpected! Peterson played two years in the capital and last came to 898 yards and 5 touchdowns. He recently stated that he wanted to play for a long time. But as a pure runner he will probably not be easy to find.
14 o’clock: We’re going to Medias Res in a moment, because that NFL Network reports that Washington Football team fired running back Adrian Peterson!
Welcome to the first day of our live ticker for the squad cut deadline! All teams must reach the limit of 53 players by 10 p.m. (CEST) on Saturday evening. Since numerous teams still have almost 80 players under contract, there will be numerous layoffs, and hardship cases are expected.
