New poll up. VOTE!
By tomorrow, the Chiefs will have to trim their roster down to 75 players which means 8 players currently on the roster will be gone. Then, on September 1st, the roster will be trimmed down to season standard of 53 players. That means that by the end of this week, the Chiefs will have gotten rid of 30 players. Before the Saints game, the Chiefs released WR Rod Gardner and WR Titus Ryan; TE Mike Pinkard; the Mexitackle Ramiro Pruneda; and defensive lineman Chris Harris and CB Marcus Maxey. Here are 8 players that have the possibility of getting cut tomorrow or by September 1st.

Considering that the Chiefs will have to drop another 22 players by September 1st, there could be a lot of overlap deciding between the cuts tomorrow and the cuts on the 1st. Some of the guys will end up on the practice squad. Here's a little info on the practice squad from Wikipedia:
I'm not saying all of these guys are the exact guys who are going to get cut tomorrow. Its a jumping off point to see who the Chiefs will eventually keep on their 53 man roster. For example, the Chiefs have 14 corners and safeties so its more than likely that Chad Williams won't be the only secondary guy to get cut.
