List of 2010 Latest Releases by NFL Teams

March 5, 2010

As free agency season opens up on at the midnight hour of March 5th, 2010, teams began purging themselves of unwanted players and their respective contracts in the hours leading up to it. With an uncapped season comes no cap penalties, resulting in a massive trend of releasing players rather than trading them or weathering out their contracts.
