Surprises

Every cut down day comes with a few surprises. Yesterday, cutting Martez Wilson was a mild shock as he was one of the few defensive line players to apply any kind of pressure on QBs in the preseason. Caleb Hanie lost out to Dustin Vaughan for the third QB spot, and the Cowboys just may be giving up on safety Matt Johnson. Technically they could bring him back to IR later, so we'll see.
