NFL Roster Cuts Will Send 1,184 Players Home Before the 2026 Season

NFL roster cut season is here, and 1,184 players will soon be headed home. Of the 2,880 players who reported to training camp, only 1,696 will make final rosters. Camp pay is $3,500 per week for veterans and $2,000 for others, meaning many first-year players earn just $12,000 before cuts arrive. Meanwhile, average U.S. rent sits at $1,850 per month.
