HERE ARE SOME POTENTIAL CUTS
ARIZONA CARDINALS DT Wendell Bryant
He has shown better dedication after three mostly lost seasons. His release would leave the team thin inside however, so it's not guaranteed that Bryant will get the axe in Arizona. But then again, there are those 40 career tackles and 1.5 sacks over his three years.

ARIZONA CARDINALS DE Calvin Pace
Like Arizona teammate Wendell Bryant, Pace is a former first-rounder. Pace largely is a situational pass rusher however, and Cards coach Dennis Green has already been at work discarding former first-rounders (see Shelton, L.J.) this off-season.

CINCINNATI BENGALS WR Peter Warrick
Once a productive slot man with great cutting ability, he needs to show he still has his game-breaking quickness after a shin injury sidelined him for most of '04. He's practicing again, but not yet at full speed.

KANSAS CITY CHIEFS WR Johnnie Morton
He made some tough catches in clutch situations last season and still can be a solid possession receiver. But the veteran turns 34 in October and comes off an injury-plagued season.

OAKLAND RAIDERS QB Rich Gannon
Hard to believe Gannon has gone from Most Valuable Player to forgotten, but that's how quickly things change in the NFL when every player is one hit away from his career ending. That's how it is for Gannon, who will probably retire.

ST. LOUIS RAMS T Kyle Turley
A back injury has threatened the career of this elite blocker. He needs to gain a lot of weight after not playing in 2004, and his anti-Mike Martz rants can't help his standing with the head coach.

SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS T Scott Gragg
Last season wasn't his best, but he is known for his durability and is usually much more consistent. He could still give a team another solid 1-2 seasons, but the 6-foot-8 mountain is on the wrong side of 30.

SEATTLE SEAHAWKS CB Bobby Taylor
Taylor is proof again that the front office in Philadelphia knows what they're doing when it comes to cap management, as the veteran CB was allowed to sign with Seattle as a free agent in 2004. One year later, Taylor could get cut.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS RB Charlie Garner
With the Bucs drafting Auburn's Cadillac Williams in the first round this April, the veteran Garner is a bit more expendable. But Garner still could help plenty of teams as a change-of-pace back.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS T Todd Steussie
He is not comfortable on the right side and no longer can hold up on the left. He could be valuable backup, but at this point his Pro Bowl days are behind him and he clearly is not the starter he once was.

TAMPA BAY BUCCANEERS G Matt Stinchcomb
He played every down at left guard last year; alas, he played almost every down poorly. Tampa's offensive line will look vastly different in 2005 under Bucs head coach Jon Gruden.

TENNESSEE TITANS S Lance Schulters
Schulters, who is finally healthy after missing much of '04 with a foot injury, is a solid blitzer and good in run support. But the rebuilding Titans are looking to invest in their younger players and will likely allow Schulters to find another home.

WASHINGTON REDSKINS LB Mike Barrow
With the signing of LB Warrick Holdman, the veteran LB Barrow could get dumped this week due to a couple key factors his $1.74 million base salary and ongoing tendonitis in his left knee.

Other June 1 Cap Cut Candidates
DE David Bowens, Dolphins New coach Nick Saban is choosing his veterans carefully, and Bowen figures not to make the cut due to his high cap number for this season ($2.25 million).
WR Rod Gardner, Redskins Considering the Skins tried hard to deal him in the months before the NFL Draft, Gardner would likely welcome a pink slip at this point.
S Mike Logan, Steelers Most considered him a goner for certain, but a Pittsburgh source this weekend is saying the Steelers will not cut anyone after Wednesday's deadline.
WR Peerless Price, Falcons Price has been a disaster in Atlanta, and now comes uncertainty due to a detected retinal disorder. But the Falcons may give him one last chance to vibe with Michael Vick.
