NFL Veterans Face Roster Cuts After Minicamp

As the NFL concludes its 2025 mandatory minicamps, teams across the league are facing difficult roster decisions, particularly regarding veteran players. The Carolina Panthers may release Hunter Renfrow, who is attempting a comeback after illness and reduced performance, while the Dallas Cowboys' veteran running backs face competition from rookies. Other teams, including the Denver Broncos, Green Bay Packers, Atlanta Falcons, Miami Dolphins, and Seattle Seahawks, have notable veterans at risk due to a combination of injuries, salary cap considerations, and the emergence of younger players. The Jacksonville Jaguars and similar teams with deep receiver groups must decide whether to keep experienced players like Trenton Irwin amid rising competition. The overall trend sees rookies and recent free-agent signings threatening the positions of established veterans throughout the league. This heightened competition is making roster spots increasingly precarious for many seasoned players.
