Waiver and trade candidates as NFL rosters set to be trimmed, plus Brian Flores responds to Tua’s criticism

Hello football fanatics, and welcome to the Wednesday edition of the Pick Six newsletter! 

Not only are you halfway through the work week, but you’re just a day away from the start of the final week of the preseason. That’ll kick off tomorrow with a doubleheader featuring Colts-Bengals and Bears-Chiefs, which starts a four-day stretch of NFL action for us to digest. While some hold the final preseason week with little regard, I think it’s a fascinating period on the league calendar. Sure, some starters could be held out of these exhibitions, but competitions that we’ve been following throughout training camp come to a head at this juncture with players making their final stamp to make the 53-man roster. Needless to say, it’s worth your attention.
