Earlier this afternoon NFL PR man Greg Aiello tweeted that NFL rosters will have to be cut down from 90 players to 80 players on Tuesday August 30. Apparently that date was initially going to be the date to cut down to 75 players. The 49ers currently sit at a full 90-man roster, including PUP players Michael Crabtree and Dominique Zeigler.
In running down the 49ers 90-man roster, I'd imagine at least one of the two UDFA QBs will be cut on the 30th. I wouldn't be surprised to see only one cut with the 49ers trying to slide the other on to the practice squad after the final roster cuts. The first cutdown date will likely see two or three offensive linemen get cut along with at least one of the UDFA wide receivers.
Do you think there will be any surprises among the cuts? By that, I mean, do you think any of the more veterans might not make it through the cut? I don't expect any such cuts, but you never can tell sometimes.
