One surprising cut each NFL team could make for 2020
By Randy Gurzi
Jacksonville Jaguars: Keenan Cole, Wide Receiver
Is it possible to have a surprise cut by the Jacksonville Jaguars at this point? They’re in complete tank mode (even though they won’t admit it) as they’ve moved on from Nick Foles, Calais Campbell, A.J. Bouye, Yannick Ngakoue and, most recently, Leonard Fournette.
Without a whole lot left on their roster, it seems there’s nowhere left to cut. Unless they decided to make a move at wide receiver and say goodbye to Keenan Cole.
The veteran wideout is starting to get lost with D.J. Chark, Dede Westbrook, Chris Conley, Laviska Shenault and Collin Johnson all on the roster. This could lead to him being the odd man out when they trim the roster down.
Kansas City Chiefs: Anthony Hitchens, Linebacker
After four seasons with the Dallas Cowboys, Anthony Hitchens signed a big free-agent contract with the Kansas City Chiefs. A former fourth-round pick from Iowa, Hitchens was an invaluable defender for Dallas as he played all three linebacker positions, and played them well.
Now on Kansas City, he hasn’t been as good of a fit. Hitchens play hasn’t been terrible but it’s also hard to justify continuing to pay him roughly $9 million a year when he’s not a game-changer. Throw in all their recent extensions and the Chiefs could be even more open to the idea of freeing up some space.
