A recap of the surprising players left off NFL teams as the 2025 roster cuts come into focus.

As cutdown day arrives in the NFL, CBS Sports is onsite tracking all roster adjustments across the league. Notable players who were released include:

  • Jalyn Armour-Davis - A former fourth-round selection from Alabama, he was cut by the Baltimore Ravens. Despite a healthy preseason, he couldn’t secure a spot amid a revamped secondary.

  • Marquez Valdes-Scantling - The wide receiver, who joined the Seattle Seahawks after a stint with the Buffalo Bills, also found himself without a team after showcasing minimal production.

  • Beanie Bishop Jr. - After a promising rookie season with the Pittsburgh Steelers, his release was unexpected.

  • Cole Strange - Once a first-round pick for the New England Patriots, Strange couldn’t find a place on the roster.

  • Hunter Renfrow - The wide receiver, who made waves in the offseason, didn’t make the cut with the Carolina Panthers despite a comeback bid.

  • Dustin Hopkins - The Cleveland Browns kicker lost a preseason battle, ending his chances for another year.

  • Deuce Vaughn - Known for his emotional draft moment, the Dallas Cowboys running back ended up among the cuts after failing to seize his opportunities.

  • Greg Dulcich - The tight end was waived by the New York Giants despite leading in touchdown receptions during the preseason.

  • Malachi Corley - The third-round pick of the New York Jets is also an unexpected cut after limited success last season.

  • Isaiah Foskey - The New Orleans Saints defensive end’s underwhelming performance led to his release.

  • K.J. Osborn - After a less productive tenure with the Washington Commanders, he was subsequently waived.

  • Carson Steele - Notably dropped by the Kansas City Chiefs, he struggled to secure consistent performance.

  • Pierre Strong Jr. - The Cleveland Browns running back was surprising news with his release pending the signing of their second-round draft pick.

In the ever-changing landscape of the NFL, the journey continues for these individuals as they seek new opportunities.
