The NFL cutdown deadline has passed, but that doesn’t mean teams have set their 53-man rosters in stone before Week 1 of the regular season officially begins.
The aftermath of these massive roster purges is a suddenly saturated free agent marketplace filled with players whose original teams didn’t want. Like a Goodwill Bargain Outlet, most of the products within were tossed away for a reason. But if you dig hard enough, a few gems will shine through.
That includes some big name veterans who landed on the chopping block after underwhelming training camps, a depth chart crunch at their position, or a combination of the two. While 2022 didn’t drop a Cam Newton-type star onto the waiver wire, there were still a handful of recognizable names suddenly available for needy teams.
