2023 NFC Notable Cuts: 5 surprising players who were shown exit door ft. Will Grier
Roster cuts are ongoing in the NFL, where teams assess which players they want on the final roster. And with only 53 slots available, it is inevitable that some players will be left on the outside looking in.
But not all releases are held to the same standard. Some of them have been very surprising, given the circumstances, especially in the NFC. Here are the biggest of them.
5 Biggest NFC Cuts of the 2023 Preseason
5) Cole Beasley
Cole Beasley is not the most famous receiver in the NFL - he has just a single All-Pro to his game, and that was with the Buffalo Bills. But not many people know that he currently has one of the longest playoff appearance streaks for a player - five.

Quite luckily, he was returned to the practice squad, but that is still no guarantee of playing time.
