Welcome to the Tuesday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!
Also, welcome to the most depressing day on the NFL calendar: Cut day.
With NFL teams trimming their roster from 90 players down to 53 players, that means that nearly 1,200 players will be out of a job by the end of the day.
With that many cuts going down, things are probably going to get pretty crazy over the next few hours, which is why I mixed pure South American coffee grounds with my breakfast today. I’ll be needing the extra energy. Since it’s almost impossible to keep track of every cut, we went ahead and created a cuts tracker. If you want to keep tabs on every player who gets released, just click here.
Cut day isn’t just a big day for cuts; it’s also a day where we’ll see a lot of trades, so we’ll be following all of those as the day unfolds. Also, to break up the monotony of cuts, we’ll also be unveiling our list of AFC coaches who are under the most pressure.
As always, here’s your daily reminder to tell all your friends and neighbors to sign up for the newsletter. To get them signed up, all you have to do is click here.

QB Bailey Zappe (Patriots)
QB Will Grier (Eagles)
QB Ben DiNucci (Bills)
