Cutdown week can be as informative as draft weekend or the start of free agency when determining both an organization's philosophy and the current state of its roster. Let's whip around the league and look at some examples.
Miami Dolphins release linebacker Benardrick McKinney, center Matt Skura
McKinney, who recorded over 100 total tackles three times for the Texans, came over in the Shaq Lawson trade in March. (Lawson was traded from the Texans to the Jets this weekend.) Skura, a four-year starter for the Ravens, was a free-agent acquisition. Both McKinney and Skura were penciled in as starters when they arrived.
