day for the 2024 NFL season has officially passed with all 32 teams reducing their respective rosters to 53 players as a 400 p.m. eastern time on Tuesday although those who were released failed to make an impact for the teams that cut them there are several players hitting the market who could provide value for a playoff hopeful with that in mind here are seven recently released players who teams with the potential to contend for the postseason should have on their radar accompanied by some potential fits one of the more surprising cuts from Tuesday's wave of transactions Nang Wu isn't the answer for teams needing running back depth given that he has only rushed for 88 yards on 27 career carries however with the implementation of the NFL's new kickoff rules he could be a Difference Maker for his next team since being drafted in 2021 the former fourth round pick ranked second in the NFL in kick return yards 1,879 and first in kick return touchdowns three Jones is far removed from being the Pro Bowl caliber player he was during his time with the Atlanta Falcons as injuries have limited him to being a rotational piece on defense it's even more concerning that the bills who recently placed star linebacker Matt Milano on injured reserve didn't think Jones was adequate depth and cut ties with him on Monday still if used correctly the 2016 second rounder can be a quality backup while he isn't one of the best coverage linebackers in the NFL like he once was Jones is still a competent pass defender in addition to intercepting one pass last season the 13th of his 8-year career Jones earned the 14th highest coverage grade among linebackers by Pro Football Focus 76.7 following the offseason edition of four-time pro bowler Stefon Diggs coupled with John mey 3's strong preseason output Houston had little reason to keep brown around even so Brown who averaged a career-high 56 seven receiving yards per game in 2023 proved that he can be extremely productive when receiving a considerable amount of targets from a talented quarterback across weeks n and 10 of last season Brown hauled in 13 of 14 targets for 325 yards and one touchdown Farley's extensive injury history is undoubtedly a major concern but the 2021 first round pick is still young and talented enough to Warrant a contender taking a flyer on him the Virginia Tech product saw his worky year end after three games due to a torn ACL and a back injury not only limited him to just nine games in 2022 but also cost him all of last season even though Farley wasn't particularly effective when he was on the field 14 tackles and one pass breakup a change of scenery could help him get his career back on track King a former allpro selection might not be an ideal addition for a looking to add a Return Man particularly since his muffed punt in Houston's preseason finale cost him his roster spot nonetheless the 29-year-old Can Be an Effective rotational slot cornerback in 2023 King was the 27th highest graded cornerback in the NFL according to PFF racking up 47 total tackles five for loss and two pass breakups in 10 games for the Steelers and Texans the Giants have prioritized getting younger at white out in recent years capped off by their selection of number six pick Malik neighbors this past April which made hodin the odd man out in the receiver room although the 6'3 200 pounder had just 21 receptions for 230 yards and three touchdowns last season hajin success in 2022 provides optimism that he can be a solid pickup for teams eyeing wide receiver depth That season Hodgins caught 33 passes for for 351 yards and four touchdowns in eight regular season games and notably had eight receptions for 105 yards and one touchdown in New York's wildcard round win over Minnesota Debo perfectly explained cmc's tenacity with one-word description heading into his eth NFL season there's not much left to be said about 49er star Christian mcaffrey the two-time allpro and reigning NFL offensive player of the year has established himself as one of the Century's most dominant running backs and his versatility as both a runner and receiver is nearly unmatched nevertheless his teammate Debo Samuel ascribed mcaffrey with perhaps the most apt description yet during an appearance on NFL Networks the Insiders on Tuesday Samuel was asked about what he has seen from mcaffrey this summer though the 49ers back currently is nursing a calf injury one word to use when talking about Christian mcaffrey the guy's a machine Samuel proclaimed he's just the best back I've seen it's hard to argue with that cyborg us comparison mcaffrey has the unrelenting battery of the Energizer Bunny allowing him to play all three Downs he's practically automatic in his ability to find the end zone every week and his football obsessed psyche is reminiscent of a computer one could even say he runs over defenders for extra yards like a car this moment from the 2023 NFL season might be proof too it's hard not to be amazed by the robot-like ease with which he plays even among a star studded cast of skill players in San Francisco this season the 49ers might need their machine to avoid any more glitches especially if Trent Williams and Brandon aak continue holding out San Francisco 49ers Legend Steve Young has strong words for gruntled wide receiver Brandon aak the San Francisco 49ers must trim their roster to 53 players today Tuesday for many of the players that have been with the team since training camp began their dream of making an NFL roster will end today some will be signed to the practice squad or to the practice squad of another team but most of the others will be unemployed he continued if you're going to ask to be traded then when they make a trade that works for them you got to say you're up for it you don't say oh no that doesn't work for me because then it was like well what do you want there is currently a deal on the table from the Pittsburgh Steelers but aak wants to wait and see if the 49ers will up their own contract extension offered to him before he accepts it last season aak was named a second team allp pro 75 receptions for 1,342 yards and said seven touchdowns it was his second consecutive 1,000 yard season after catching 78 passes for 1,000 to 15 yards and eight touchdowns in 2022 as one can see their numbers are very similar but aak has been playing in the NFL for four years while aak has been playing for four if aak really wants to get the most money possible he should play his fifth-year option and seek more money on what is sure to be an inflated wide Market next year Justin Jefferson got $35 million a year from the Minnesota Vikings and CD lamb got $34 million a year from the Dallas Cowboys a dominant year for aak in 2024 could help him convince the 49ers and other teams that he should be paid like them and you fan what do you think of the situation of Steve Young leave your opinion in the comments
