(Photo: Matt Kartozian, USA TODAY Sports)With rosters needing to be narrowing down to 53, many NFL players are facing the ends of their careers.
Several notable names were released by Saturday's 4 p.m. ET deadline. Here are some of the notable names who were sent packing, as well as a team-by-team look:
QB Tim Tebow, Eagles: Chip Kelly's experiment with Tebow appears to be over, and it's unclear if the QB will get another shot in the NFL.
QB Matt Cassel, Bills: Once thought to be the front-runner for the starting QB job, Cassel didn't have a spot on the Bills after losing out to Tyrod Taylor.
