The shocking big-name cuts may only just be getting started as the NFL heads toward free agency.
The Washington Redskins got out in front of most teams, showing notables like Josh Norman and Paul Richardson Jr. the door. The Cleveland Browns also got in on the action during what is apparently a cutting window of the calendar.
Timing is everything during this precarious period for NFL veterans. As front offices round out offseason roster-building plans, age, performance and monetary figures all fall under evaluation. Plenty of big names could follow and join the free-agent pool soon.
