Biggest surprise: If you've been reading the NFC East blog this afternoon, none of these names should surprise you -- save for one. I may have nailed 20 of the 22 cuts, but I didn't see the Mike Jefferson cut coming. After T.O. and Patrick Crayton, I have no clue who's going to play receiver against the Browns. Sam Hurd, Isaiah Stanback and Miles Austin are all hurt. The Cowboys cut Jefferson and "Hard Knocks" favorites Danny Amendola and Todd Lowber, so prepare yourself for an emotional episode.
Third-team quarterback Richard Bartel came close to making the team, but he ended up being the last man on the chopping block. I'm hearing that the Cowboys are actively pursuing quarterbacks Chris Simms and Brooks Bollinger. If they don't get either player, Bartel will once again be on the practice squad.
