One August moment, the linebackers and special-teams players exhaled with relief after the deadline for the final preseason roster cut had passed.
But within days, Guzman was waived by the Indianapolis Colts, and former Colt Boiman got the same treatment in Philadelphia.
It’s the harsh side of the NFL, an abrupt, often unforeseen end to employment.
