What to Know The deadline for NFL roster cutdowns to 53 players came and went Tuesday at 1 p.m. PT. All NFL teams can carry 90 players during the offseason, but must get down to 53 active players by the deadline. Most players will be placed on waivers, meaning other teams can claim them, but more experienced veteran players become free agents as soon as they are released and are not subject to waivers. Other players will go on injured reserve or other roster lists that do not count toward the 53-player limit. 49ers insider Matt Maiocco provided his analysis on San Francisco’s initial 53-man roster. Follow this live blog for the latest updates, news and analysis as San Francisco finalizes its 53-man roster ahead of the 2025 NFL season.
