'Thank you': Players react on historic cutdown day

Published: Sep 02, 2017 at 11:41 AM

Over 1,000 players were released or waived on Saturday on what was a historic cutdown day. Many of those casualties will be waiver-wire pickups in the coming days. Players who were cut, and those who escaped the ax, took to Twitter to express their gratitude and well wishes.

#BillsMafia it's been a great ride. Thank you for all the love and support you guys have shown me over the past year. Nothing but love!
