Vince Young best-known veteran cut

Vince Young is out of work, Terrell Suggs is on PUP and several veteran NFL kickers are on the street after the first set of mandatory NFL cuts.

Teams needed to be down to 75 players Monday, and Young was the biggest name to lose his job. After Buffalo acquired Tarvaris Jackson from Seattle to back up quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, 2006 Offensive Rookie of the Year Young was released.

Suggs, the 2011 Defensive Player of the Year, tore his right Achilles tendon in the offseason and isn’t expected back before November.

Among the kickers given the boot were Olindo Mare by Carolina, Josh Brown by the Jets, and Neil Rackers by Washington.

All 32 teams must be down to the regular-season roster limit of 53 on Friday.
