Veteran-cut candidates could reshape the NFL free-agent market

The piece catalogs 25 veteran players who could be released to juice the NFL free-agent market, spanning quarterbacks like Tagovailoa, Cousins, Smith, and Carr, plus impact players at running back, wide receiver, tight end, and on defense. With several teams facing tight salary caps, many of these cuts could come via post-June 1 designations to maximize cap relief, signaling a potential surge in veteran signings as the league year nears and clubs reset payroll.
