For final cut down day, most teams are pretty much the same. The veterans get called in to the facility first. They get the message ahead of time, usually through a courtesy call to the agent, then they turn in their stuff and get a quick meeting with the decision makers. The rookies and first year players get called next, essentially as a group (because usually they have to travel together), and once they are there, they get the message one by one in person - who delivers the message depends on what's next for the player. For example, the guys they want to offer practice squad spots to, they get a more detailed meeting with a more senior decision maker to explain things like (a) don't leave town, (b) we'll talk to your agent about what's coming next, and (c) if you are not claimed off waivers, we'd like to bring you back on the practice squad. For the guys who are at the end of the line with that team, their message is more like "thanks, you did a great job but its a numbers game and we don't have a spot for you ... you will get your flight information from PERSON A after this meeting and the shuttle van to the airport will leave the facility in 45 minutes."
