The NFL is full of important contributors who have been cut, waived or released by another club, so downtime doesn’t signal the end of everyone’s football playing days.
Raheem Mostert went without a draft in 2015 and was then cut by six different teams before landing as the feature again in San Francisco with 49ers. Isaiah McKenzie was waived mid-season by Bronco In 2018. Enters the 2022 season as a future Buffalo in the starting slot.
Teams have until 4pm EST on Tuesday to reduce the roster size to 53 players, and I’m keeping track of released players who deserve to be added by another club. I’ll continue to update this tracker as more moves come out on Tuesday – these 53 men’s rosters aren’t complete yet.
Below you will see these players, with information on the team that released them, the round in which they were drafted – if applicable – and a link to Mockdraftable spider diagramwhich shows how they tested their integration or their professional day when they were potential clients.

Draft status: Second round – 2015
Positional sports: above average
Security with experience level and productivity are not available in Tartt casually every August. He played in 80 regular season games for 49 players starting in 2015 and collected four picks with 18 breakout passes along with an average of 56 tackles per season.
High security ferociously attacking the midfield and line of scrimmage, the Tartt safety type has recently become popular in the NFL. He had five tackles and tackles in Super Bowl LIV. Only 30, Tartt must have had plenty of suitors on the open market. Since he is a seasoned veteran – over four years due in the NFL – he is not subject to exemptions and can sign with another team immediately.

Draft status: Sixth round – 2021
Positional sports: Much lower than average
Newsome was my #TrustTheTape prospect in the 2021 class. It tested horribly. In the field in North Carolina, Newsom was working on electricity. Newsome was produced in all four seasons for the Tar Heels and had over 1,000 yards with 10 touchdowns in 2019.
He was a member of this article last year, in fact, when he was shot by bears before chopping off 53 men. He was signed with the Chicago coaching staff and earned two passes for 23 yards in a few appearances late in the season. Now, his 2019 season at the ACC is mostly irrelevant, and his poor group seems to have been a strong indication that Newsom simply isn’t athletic enough to win consistently as a wide opener in the NFL. After a strong little camp and two flashes in training camp, Newsom only had two for 27 yards in pre-season. It is worth registering as a tool type lower receiver.

Draft status: Fifth round – 2013
Positional sports: accidental
Check the gambler’s stats from 2021 – average net kicks, and you’ll see Martin near the top. His average of 42.8 was the third best in football, and his average of 28 shots within the 20 draws was fifth in the NFL. Consistency year after year is vital for bookies, and in each of the past three seasons, Martin has placed 12th or better on the net average. For a club looking to upgrade the gambler’s position, Martin should be priority #1. Gamblers are people too, remember.
