Today there were a ton of NFL cuts, as teams needed to get down to a roster limit of 75 players. More cuts will be coming relatively soon, as teams will need to be down to 53 players by opening day.

There weren’t too many big name players getting cut today, since teams still have over a week before rosters must be down to 53. However here are some of the notable players being waived or released from their respective teams. There have been a total of 150 players cut today.

* Tampa Bay Buccaneers cut RB Derrick Ward. He was signed last season to a $17 million four-year contract, after playing 5 seasons for the New York Giants. He rushed for 409 Yards last season.

* The Kansas City Chiefs cut wide receiver, Lance Long. Long had caught 20 passes last season, but the Chiefs are pretty stacked at the wideout position.

* The Dallas Cowboys released veteran safety Patrick Watkins. Watkins started 10 games with the Cowboys over his career and had 116 career tackles and 4 interceptions.

More cuts will come int he coming days, and plenty more will come before opening day.
