Welcome to the Tuesday edition of the Pick Six newsletter!It's cut day in the Tanner Pearson Jersey NFL, which you're going to hear a lot about over the next few weeks because there's actually THREE cut days this year. The NFL added a few extra cut days last season to make things as confusing as po sible.So when are those three cut days? Glad you asked. We'll be going over that in today's rundown, plus we'll also be covering the Seahawks-Eagles trade.As a quick reminder, you can still bid on a chance to have a 10-minute Zoom call with me. The auction is for our annual CBS Sports telethon that raises money for St. Jude, so all the money from the auction will be going to charity.If you want to bid, . Last year, the winning bid for me went for more than $1,000 -- it was the highest at CBS Sports -- but this year, it's much more affordable.

Alright, that's enough of that, let's get to the rundown.As always, here's your weekly reminder to tell all your friends to sign up for the newsletter. All you have to do is . 1. Today's show: Monday MailbagDuring the NFL offseason, we like to spice things up each week on the Pick Six Podcast by adding a listener mailbag every Monday, and just because the preseason is here doesn't mean these mailbags will be going away anytime soon. We had one yesterday and we have another coming today. (We're not usually this lazy, but Brinson and Wilson had to travel to Nashville this week for work, so we recorded an extra mailbag since they'll be flying today.)Our mailbag episodes are pretty simple: We read listener questions during the show and then answer as many of those questions as po sible. Questions can be about literally anything. I mean, I'm pretty sure someone once asked us how many state capitals we could name without using Google. If we'll answer that, trust me when I say that we'll answer almost anything. Anyway, if you want to submit a question, all you have to do is go to Apple Podcasts () and leave a five-star review that includes your question.Here's one question that Will Brinson, Ryan Wilson and I answered for today's show.Q: With how weak the NFC is looking -- Green Bay lost , Tampa Bay is dealing with plenty of i sues and is having arm i sues -- who is your favorite long shot bet to win the NFC? To answer this question, we first had to agree on what constitutes a "long shot," and that was much easier said than done. We eventually decided that any team with odds over 15-to-1 qualifies as a long shot to win the NFC.With that in mind, the team I like the most is the . Yes, I know the Vikings always choke and/or find a way to lose every game that actually matters, but I think they can actually be good this year. This team lost eight games last season by one score and still went 8-9. If they had just gone 4-4 in those eight lo ses, they would have gone 12-5. When you consistently lose one-score games, that says more about your coaching than anything. The Vikings got rid of their coach, so I think this team can be better.We also discu sed SUPER long shots in the NFC -- teams that have a 50-to-1 chance to win the conference -- and I decided the are the best bet out of that group, which also includes the , , , and . If you want to listen to the rest of the mailbag, .

With the league now playing three preseason games, the NFL decided to hold three cut days, with each one coming on the Tuesday following a full week of preseason games. The first cut day is today (teams must cut down to 85 players), with the next one coming Aug. 23 (cut down to 80) and the final one coming Aug. 30 (cut down to 53). On each of those days, the NFL's 32 teams will have until 4 p.m. ET to get their roster down to the allotted number.Although teams have until 4 p.m. ET today to make their cuts, here's a look at some notable players who have already been released:CB ()DB (Buccaneers)RB ()WR ()K ()QB (Jaguars)CB Jr. ()TE (Lions) Dennard is probably the most surprising name on that list.

(If you want to know more about Dennard's surprising cut, you can .)As for all the other cuts, if you want to . (The list won't be final until after the 4 p.m. ET deadline.) 3. Birds of a feather trade together: and Seahawks exchange playersOne thing that almost always happens when there's a cut day coming up is that we see at least one trade go down. When a team is thinking about releasing a player who might draw some interest from other teams, they'll usually shop him around to see if they can make a trade instead of cutting him. That's what happened Monday with the Eagles and Seahawks pulling off a trade involving two players who probably would have been released. Here's in the rare player-for-player trade that involved zero draft picks:Seahawks receive:WR Eagles receive:Safety This trade will bring Arcega-Whiteside's career in Philadelphia to a disappointing end.

Arcega-Whiteside was taken ahead of players like , and .During his three years in Philadelphia, Arcega-Whiteside only caught 16 pa ses, which is barely an average of five catches per season. His biggest year came in 2019 when he caught 10 pa ses for 169 yards and a touchdown, but his numbers never improved after that. The trade to the Seahawks is probably for the best, since it will now give him a chance for a fresh start. As for Amadi, he's a versatile player who gives the Eagles some solid depth in the secondary. Amadi's ability to play both corner and safety is likely a Tobias Bjornfot Women Jersey big reason the Eagles were interested in him. Amadi made seven starts last season during a year where he played in all 17 games for the Seahawks.For more on the trade, . 4.
