The rosters are in for the 2011 NFL season. Each team had to whittle its roster down to the league required 53 players. In doing so eight Tiders got pink slips. But twenty-four made the cut.

Here’s the complete run down:

Arizona Cardinals

Brodie Croyle, QB – cut (Is this the end for the injury-prone Croyle, or will he emerge somewhere else?)

Rashad Johnson, DB

Atlanta Falcons

Julio Jones, WR

Mike Johnson, OL

John Parker Wilson – cut (Fairly surprising, a solid back-up; retained on practice squad however.)

Baltimore Ravens

Terrence Cody, DT

Jarret Johnson, LB

Chavis Williams, LB – cut (Valid effort by a Tide overachiever; retained on practice squad.)

Buffalo Bills

Marcell Dareus, DT

Chicago Bears

Mark Anderson, DE

Cincinnati Bengals

Evan Mathis, OT

Andre Smith, OT

Cleveland Browns

Ramzee Robinson, DB – cut

Detroit Lions

Anthony Madison, DB – cut (A surprisingly long NFL career comes to a close?)

Green Bay Packers

Charlie Peprah, DB

Houston Texans

Antoine Caldwell, OT

Kareem Jackson, DB

DeMeco Ryans, LB

Kansas City Chiefs

Javier Arenas, DB

Wallace Gilberry, DE

Bobby Greenwood, DL – cut (The pride of Prattville moves on.)

LeRon McClain, FB

New England Patriots

Brandon Deaderick, DE

New Orleans Saints

Mark Ingram, RB

Roman Harper, DB

New York Jets

Greg McElroy, QB

Lorenzo Washington, DE – cut

Oakland Raiders

Rolando McClain, LB

Justin Smiley, OL

Seattle Seahawks

James Carpenter, OL

St. Louis Rams

Marquis Johnson, DB

Washington Redskins

Anthony Bryant, DT – cut

Here’s a freebie: Worst name of a player who was cut – Dallas WR Tysson Poots. Somebody said he was stinking it up at practice so he had to go. Man what an unfortunate last name.
