Several NFL teams began trimming their rosters by making trades. They have to be down to 53 players from 90 before 6 p.m. EDT Sunday. This was reported by Qazaqyia.kz citing Associated Press.
Offensive tackle Broderick Jones, a 2023 first-round pick, quarterback Quinn Ewers, and defensive lineman CJ Okoye changed teams in separate deals on Saturday. Quarterback Kyle McCord, tight end Hunter Long, and center Sedrick Van Pran-Granger were traded Sunday.
QBs J.J. McCarthy and Anthony Richardson are among those who also could be on the move.
The most accomplished player on the roster bubble is three-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who is attempting a comeback with the Giants.
On Friday, coach John Harbaugh praised the 33-year-old Beckham saying "he's played well" and "has done enough to make an NFL roster for sure."
On Saturday, Harbaugh wouldn't say if it'll be New York's roster.
"We're working through that right now," he said. "We have a pretty good idea in all honesty but we're not ready to make that announcement or any other announcement as far as who's making the team at this point."
McCarthy, who was Minnesota's first-round pick in 2024, lost the competition for the starting job to Kyler Murray. The Vikings have veteran Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer making McCarthy expendable.
Richardson, the No. 4 overall pick in 2023, played well for Indianapolis on Saturday. He's competing with Riley Leonard for the backup job behind Daniel Jones. It's possible the Colts could trade him. Richardson is in the final season of a four-year fully guaranteed rookie contract worth $33.9 million so a release is unlikely.
