NFL teams finalize rosters ahead of cut deadline this weekend

By Sunday at 4:00 p.m. ET, NFL teams must trim their rosters from 90 players down to 53. This process, commonly referred to as 'The Turk', signals the end of preseason and affects numerous players fighting for limited spots. Following the cuts, players who are not 'vested veterans' enter the waivers system, while those with four or more years of service become free agents. The restructuring continues as teams prepare for the upcoming regular season, with additional roster moves expected as the weeks progress.
