Thought we might want to track former Huskers and NFL cuts.
Getting started:
Ochaun Mathis let go by the Rams

NFL Cuts
- Thread starter HuskerJag
- Start date
was he in the NFL last year? Don't really think of him as a Husker
A few reminders:
NFL rosters are 53 with another 16 on the practice squad (17 if one is an international player). Players must be cut and go through waivers before they can be signed to the practice squad. Note, veterans who are cut become free agents and are not subject to the waiver process. Practice squad players can be called up 3 times during the season. If called up a 4th time they have to be added to the 53.
Salary on the practice squad is $12,500 a week…over an 18 week season that’s 225,000. Veterans (3+ seasons) can negotiate more - up to 21,300 a week or 383,400. Players on the 53 making the rookie minimum make about $45,000 a week (795,000) by contrast.

Top 10% salary in the US. I wouldn't complain. Few years would set you up pretty nice if you have a plan for life after football.
