Through Friday night, as NFL teams work to carve their final rosters, two potential cuts loomed large, and they both came from the NFC West. Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart, that former 10th overall pick in 2005, has been busy playing his way out a roster spot, has been quoted as saying that he’s outplayed all comers on the roster, and doesn’t understand the prospect of languishing behind Derek Anderson on the depth chart as surprising rookie Max Hall pokes him with a stick.
Underperforming and failing to understand your role? That’s a common thread among high-profile cuts, and Seattle Seahawks receiver T.J. Houshmandzadeh finds himself in similarly choppy waters.

As most people expected, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell made the decision today to reduce the six-game suspension he levied against Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to four games. Roethlisberger, who was allowed to practice with the team and play in the preseason, will not be allowed on team facilities through the duration of his reduced time.
Roethlisberger was originally suspended by the NFL for a violation of the league’s personal conduct policy as the result of events that allegedly took place in a Milledgeville, Ga. bar on March 5.
