alright, so 7 hours until NFL rosters are required to be at the 53 man limit...
some of the 'bigger' names of the casualties
Terrelle Pryor
Curtis Painter
Ben-Jarvis Green Ellis
Kyle Orton signed with Bills after they cut Jordan Palmer, which for some rotoworld thought was a big deal, since you know, he got cut by the Bears less than 2 weeks prior and signed with the Bills
Jordan Lynch, this upset a bunch of locals I guess, I found it less shocking than him not being drafted as a 'project' and what I have read is maybe the Bears didn't play him much because they didn't want someone to snag him on cuts, allowing them to resign him in the next week. He led Chicago in rushing week 1 of the preseason, then didn't get another carry until week 4, when he got 6 in a row at the end of the game. he has a ton to learn, as he has NEVER played anything other than QB, and they are converting him over. This hasn't worked well in the past converting QBs to something else. there was limited success with Brad Smith out of a 'major' conference, then Josh Cribbs and I believe Julian Edleman was also a Mid-Major onvert, and who can forget Tim Tebow?
anyways, list some of the bigger cuts and local outrage from those cuts...
