Five biggest surprise cuts on cutdown day

The NFL will always have surprise cuts, but today there were several cuts that were shocking to me. I am shocked by more than 5 cuts, but these five cuts were shocking to me.

1.) Jachai Polite, DE, New York Jets – Let’s face it the Jets fired their GM, and I get it, but you just spent a 3rd round pick on Polite. You have not really even watched him. You have had a few practices and a couple pre-season games to judge him and with that you cut him. This was a major suprise cut for me. He was a top 75 player in the NFL Draft.

2.) LeSean McCoy, RB, Buffalo Bills – The Bills cut their star running back. The Pro Bowl running back was getting 9 million a year which is a lot, but I did not see the Bills doing this. They have Frank Gore and a rookie in Devin Singletary but this move was shocking. I though the Bills would keep him.

3.) Vyncint Smith, WR, Houston Texans – The Texans loved this kid. He is a big wide receiver with stupid speed. I was mind blown when I read the team cut him. I was not sure what was going on, but after today does anyone know what the Houston Texans are doing?

4.) John Franklin-Myers, DL, Los Angeles Rams – The Rams pass rusher was a stud for the team, and after losing Suh in Free Agency, I was shocked the team let him go. I am a huge fan of Franklin. I would not be shocked if the 49ers put in a claim for him.

5.) Britton Colquitt, P, Cleveland Browns – I know the Scottish Hammer took his position but how could the Browns not trade him? The Browns I hope at least tried to trade him. I am shocked because he was a Pro-Bowl alternate last season. He can hammer a ball just not as far as the rookie.
