We have arrived at one of the most important days in the NFL calendar: Cutdown Day.

The Miami Dolphins and the NFL’s other 31 teams will make a series of roster moves to reach the 53-player limit by 4 p.m. ET. These changes include players being released or terminated, as well as players being transferred or placed on the injured list.

As a guide, players with less than four years of NFL experience will be released and must clear that release by noon Wednesday before they can sign with another team. Veterans with four or more years of experience will be released (or have their contract terminated) and become free agents immediately.

This was the case with the two players the Dolphins released on Sunday, quarterback Mike White and tight end Jody Fortson Jr.

The next step in roster construction will occur on Wednesday, when players released on Tuesday can be claimed before 12:00 p.m. ET. and subsequently founded a 17-man training squad.

Through the end of the third week of the 2024 regular season, the priority order for waiver claims if multiple teams claim a player will be based on the 2024 draft order. This means the Dolphins have the 21st claiming spot and can only claim a player off the waiver list if none of the other 20 teams ahead of them claim that player.

The Dolphins’ roster ended up at 88 players Monday, meaning 35 transactions are needed to reach the 53-man roster limit.

We will track all movements on Tuesday, create a running accounting of transactions and provide links to the reports detailing the movements.
