. . . I don't have the option to cut certain players?

Free Agency is finished and we're heading into the draft. Some players have the "Cut" button available; others do not.

They are more than likely the free agents you didnt resign.

They remain there until:
Another team signs them
-or-
Training camp sim

On your team homepage you can select the dropdown "No Current or Pending Contract" and those players will disappear.

These are probably the players with no "Cut" option:

#44 James Skillman
#83 Joseph Jacobs
#54 Kenneth Egan
#65 Justin Dilley

Bingo! Thanks, parsh!

Including players on your roster/depth chart who are not actually on your roster. One of the most despised "features" in MFN.

Indeed.

The only workaround is if you absolutely will not resign them just release them before the end of season sim.

Gotcha. Makes sense.
