After final roster cuts, the snapping picture for each NFL club is a bit more clear. Although there may be changes prior to kickoff next week, it looks like there will be two new snappers. Rookie Hogan Hatten won the Lions job and first-year snapper Evan Deckers will snap for the Buccaneers.
Rookies Peter Bowden (Packers) and Joe Shimko (Cardinals) were each waived in the last few weeks. Tucker Addington (Patriots), Rex Sunahara (Browns) and Cameron Lyons (Bears) were late cuts as teams got down to the 53 players. Veterans Scott Daly (Lions) and Zach Triner (Buccaneers) also were released.
Sunahara was later added to the Browns practice squad and Daly to the Bears practice squad. Daly will likely be activated for the first part of the season while client Patrick Scales recovers from injury.
Blake Ferguson of the Dolphins was technically released, but that was a procedural move to create roster space and he will snap in Miami for another season.
