  "account": "In the NFL's impending cut-down process, one potential candidate from each team may see their football future cut short. All 32 teams must reduce their active rosters to 53 players by 6 p.m. ET on Sunday, August 30. While many of the cut-downs will involve undrafted free agents and former practice squad members, a few high-profile prospects could also end up on the chopping block. Arizona Cardinals may release running back Trey Benson, who is struggling to compete for a roster spot. Atlanta Falcons might cut quarterback Cooper Rush, who has not performed well in recent preseason games. Baltimore Ravens could release edge rusher Adisa Isaac, who has only played in three NFL games due to injury. Buffalo Bills might release edge rusher Mike Danna, who has been unable to secure a starting role in Buffalo's pass rush. Carolina Panthers may cut tight end Darren Waller, who has struggled to make an impact in the passing game. Chicago Bears could release cornerback Beanie Bishop, who is facing a three-game suspension. Cincinnati Bengals might release quarterback Josh Johnson, who will be replaced by division II star Jack Strand. Cleveland Browns could release wide receiver Cedric Tillman, who has been replaced by Denzel Boston. Dallas Cowboys may release edge rusher Sam Williams, who has struggled to make an impact in the pass rush. Denver Broncos could release linebacker Drew Sanders, who has limited NFL experience.",
