  • OT Devin Cochran
  • DT Domenique Davis
  • TE Nick Eubanks

The following players were cut:

Of note is Kevin Huber winning the job at punter over Drue Chrisman, a bit of a surprise given the similar performance and age difference.

As a whole, there weren’t going to be many shockers, especially compared to prior years during the roster overhaul. The team returned most of its Super Bowl roster besides the big free-agent additions and rookies.
