NFL roster-cuts: Which big names were released?

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, while more were cut Sunday as teams fine-tuned their rosters. 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.

WR Reggie Wayne, Patriots: The former Colts target's stay in New England was an odd one, as he spent only two weeks with Bill Belichick.
