The Baltimore Ravens have began making cuts already in anticipation of tomorrow’s 4 p.m. deadline to get rosters down to 75 players.
The most notable name to get cut thus far is wide receiver DeAndre Carter. Many believed the undrafted rookie from Sacramento State had a chance to make the roster as a kick returner, but he failed to impress when give opportunities.We named him one of our sleepers to make the roster, but that did not pan out.
Here is the total list of players to be cut so far:

Most of the names above were expected cuts. Carter was the only one of three receivers to be released that had an outside shot of making the roster. The Ravens have established players inSam KochandMorgan Coxon their special teams and Manton and Scales knew they had little chance to make it. The cuts along the offensive line are a bit of a surprise because of the number of injuries that unit is facing, but the fact is there just isn’t enough roster space to keep them all.
While Carter is the biggest name out for the Ravens, it’s hardly a big deal around the league. Some teams have parted ways with some talented players. The Bills have letFred Jacksongo. Chicago has releasedTim Jennings.Ryan Broyleswas a second-round pick for the Detroit Lions, but waste time packing today. Over the course of the next few days, there will be more high profile names that could be added to the list of free agents.
The Ravens still have seven more cuts to make before tomorrow’s deadline and there will be some interesting decisions to make. They still have players that they can move to injured reserve or the physically unable to perform list to lower the number.
All teams are required to be down to 75 players by 4 p.m. tomorrow and cut down to 53 by Saturday, Sept. 5 at 4 p.m. Last week,we predicted our 53-man rosterfor the Ravens opener against the Denver Broncos.
