Comme chaque année les franchises NFL doivent réduire l’effectif à 53 joueurs.
L’heure limite était fixée à 22h ce samedi 5 septembre pour finaliser les départs nécessaires par équipe.
Cela signifie la fin du rêve NFL pour la majorité d’entre eux. Seuls certains joueurs auront la chance de signer avec une autre équipe ou d’intégrer les équipes réserves (practice squad).
