I know its today, but at what time do we expect to have information?
 
It depends on when the teams release the information. And it doesn't necessarily mean all the players will be cut today.

OK, and when is the deadline?
 
today is the day you can start cutting, it isn't the first and last day they can do it.

Most if not all the teams are under the cap, so you probably won't see many cuts. You might see a few veterans getting cut after mini camp if coaches don't think these guys are worth keeping around (more of a football decetion instead of a financial) . Also to make a little wiggle room for their rookies.

But, in no way is it like D-day for vets in the NFL.
 
Today is the first day that teams can cut players, some will get cut today for cap reasons, Info should start popping up any time soon. I think were in great cap shape.


Go Dolphins
 
for some reason i thought june 1st wasn't the same as it was with the new CBA, i could be wrong though

This is a good point. Pat Kirwan made the same point last night on NFL Network. June 1st is the day that teams can start to make cuts for salary cap purposes. But according to Pat, most teams probably will not cut anyone right away as the teams would like to see if the rookies and/or younger players that would then be filling in will be able to perform adequately to allow the teams to let the more expensive players go.
 
We should start getting some news in a few days,

Pat calls me all the time for advice, glad to see he's using it
 
Sounds like we have no reason to care about June 1 cuts, since they will likely be insignificant.

no deadline...june 1st is simply the first day a team can cut a player without counting ALL the player's uncharged bonus money against the current year's cap. A player could get cut tomorrow... or next week....or next month. By cutting a player anytime after June 1, the team counts only the current year's portion of bonus money against the current year's cap....the balance is counted against the following year's cap.
