Each NFL team can do this with up to two players per season. This is a rule adopted into the most recent version of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
In other words, if any June 1 casualties were going to hit, they've already been released from their teams.
Besides, few teams are in dire need of cap relief. There just aren't June 1 casualties like there used to be.

Apparently, there is a misunderstanding. We are saying the same things about the June salary cap date, but in a different manner.
The questions and principle still stand. Now that teams have drafted talent, teams will begin to release players up until & after the first week in June, and in the interest of creating more space to sign rookies and UDFA, there will be cuts.
So who do we release(and we WILL release a player or two), and who do we pick up when teams start to trim their rosters according to cap constraints?
