| Pos | Role | Name |
| QB | 1 | Josh Freeman |
| 2 | B.J. Coleman  Out of FBFormer Packers QB B.J. Coleman has signed with the Arizona Rattlers of the Arena Football League. A Packers seventh-round pick in the 2012 draft, Coleman was waived in 2013 training camp and spent 2014 out of football. The big red flags on his NFL potential were an inability to beat out Graham Harrell and Scott Tolzien. Jan 22 |
| 3 | Kellen Moore |
| 4 | Chandler Harnish Out of FBVikings waived QB Chandler Harnish. The move is confirmation the Vikings expect Teddy Bridgewater (ankle) to start in Week 6. Harnish was replaced on the roster by second-year FB Zach Line. Oct 3 |
| 5 | Tim Tebow Out of FBSaskatchewan Roughriders assistant GM Jeremy O'Day believes free agent Tim Tebow "would struggle" in the CFL. Tebow has never expressed interest in the CFL, but others have suggested he'd be a good fit. Those people don't know anything about the CFL, which is even more pass-oriented than the NFL. "One of his major downfalls is accuracy," said O’Day. "I think he would struggle." Tebow, 27 in August, still hasn't given up on his NFL dream. He's currently working as an ESPN college football analyst. Jun 30 |
| 6 | Caleb Hanie Out of FBCowboys released or waived QB Caleb Hanie, WR Chris Boyd, OG Wayne Tribue, DE Adewale Ojomo, P Tom Hornsey, and LS Casey Kreiter. All six players were merely camp bodies. Aug 26 |
| 7 | Curtis Painter Out of FBGiants waived QB Curtis Painter. Ryan Nassib wins the No. 2 QB job in New York with a surprisingly solid preseason. Nassib completed 44-of-74 passes for 588 yards, five touchdowns and no interceptions in five exhibition games. Painter is an uninspiring backup, but he may get a look. Aug 30 |
| 8 | John Skelton Out of FBFree agent QB John Skelton has signed a two-year deal with the CFL's Montreal Alouettes. Turning 27 in March, Skelton made 17 NFL starts after being a fifth-round pick in the 2010 draft, managing a 15:25 TD-to-INT ratio. Although Skelton has a very strong arm, his ball placement is as erratic as it gets. He'll compete for snaps on the Alouettes with Jonathan Crompton and Jerrod Johnson. Feb 6 |
| 9 | Mike Kafka Out of FBBucs waived QB Mike Kafka. They'll move forward with a healthy Josh McCown behind Mike Glennon. Oct 27 |
| 10 | Josh Portis Out of FBEx-Seahawks QB Josh Portis has signed with the CFL's Toronto Argonauts. He appears to be taking "Big" Mike Williams' roster spot. A 2011 undrafted free agent, Portis spent 2012 on the practice squad. He was waived from the Seahawks' offseason roster late last month. Jun 3 |
| 11 | David Carr |
| 12 | Rex Grossman Out of FBFree agent QB Rex Grossman has rejected an offer to sign with the Browns for Week 17. Grossman is choosing instead to spend the holiday with his family. We can't blame him. The Browns have nothing to play for, and Grossman isn't in need of a one-week paycheck at the league minimum at the expense of missing Christmas. The Browns will turn to undrafted rookie Connor Shaw vs. Baltimore. Dec 22 |
| 13 | Vince Young Out of FBVince Young will attempt a comeback next month at the veteran combine. After filing for bankruptcy a year ago, Young's "comeback" is more of a thinly-veiled cash grab. Despite a disappointing career, Young was Rookie of the Year in 2006 and has been to two Pro Bowls. At age 31, he'll be hard-pressed to find a backup job. Young lasted just 11 days on the Browns' roster last spring. Feb 27 |
| 14 | Brady Quinn Out of FBFree agent QB Brady Quinn is on the comeback trail according to Ben Volin of the Boston Globe. He's been training with former Bengals quarterback Jeff Christensen in Fort Lauderdale. Christensen famously helped Jimmy Garoppolo transition from linebacker to quarterback. If Quinn does land a job, it will be as a second or third-stringer. Feb 22 |
| 15 | Kevin Kolb Out of FBFree agent QB Kevin Kolb has retired from the NFL. Kolb, 30, recounts four known concussions in the NFL, with the final one coming last preseason on his 29th birthday. It ended his career. Kolb says the after-effects of the concussions still haunt him today. He deals with constant ringing in his ears that he compares to "someone shooting a shotgun right next to my ear, every second of every day," sensitivity to light, and short-term memory loss. Kolb spent six years in the league, making 21 career starts. Oct 24 |
| 16 | Trent Edwards Out of FBRaiders signed QB Trent Edwards, DL David Carter and DT Torell Troup to reserve/future contracts. The signing says as much about the state of Edwards' career as it does the Raiders' roster. Released by the Bears in training camp, Edwards has attempted just two passes over the past three seasons. We would say there's no chance he earns a roster spot next summer, but anything is possible for a team that signed OT Alex Barron in 2013. Jan 2 |
| 17 | Jerrod Johnson Out of FBBears waived QB Jerrod Johnson. A camp arm, Johnson has attempted zero regular-season passes since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2011. He's near the end of the NFL line. Jun 19 |
| 18 | Adam Weber Out of FBBucs waived QB Adam Weber. The writing was on the wall for Weber when he didn't get a single snap in either of Tampa Bay's last two preseason games. A heady but weak-armed quarterback prospect, Weber is a former UDFA out of Minnesota. Aug 25 |
| 19 | Jordan Rodgers Out of FBDolphins waived QB Jordan Rodgers and WR Michael Rios. Aaron's younger brother, Rodgers is a 2013 undrafted free agent who's failed to remain on anyone's roster. He doesn't have an NFL future. May 12 |
| 20 | Chase Rettig |
| 21 | Tommy Rees |
| 22 | Brock Jensen |
| 23 | Ryan Katz |
| 24 | Colby Cameron Out of FBPanthers signed Louisiana Tech QB Colby Cameron. Cameron (6-foot-2 1/8, 212) set an NCAA record for consecutive passes without an interception as a senior, finishing with a 31:5 TD-to-INT ratio and 68.8 completion rate in Louisiana Tech's spread offense. Cameron only started for 1 1/2 seasons in college and lacks NFL-caliber arm strength, relying on touch and placement. He is a plus athlete, running in the 4.6s at the Combine with impressive cone and shuttle times. Derek Anderson and Jimmy Clausen are currently the Panthers' backup quarterbacks. Apr 30 |
| 25 | Kyle Padron |
| 26 | James Vandenberg |
| 27 | Mike Hermann |
| 28 | Nathan Stanley |
| 29 | Dalton Williams |
| 30 | Matt Brown |
| 31 | Caleb TerBush |
| 32 | Tim Jenkins |
| 33 | Dayne Crist Out of FBRavens re-signed QB Dayne Crist. The former Notre Dame and Kansas quarterback spent minicamp on Baltimore's roster. He'll be a mere camp arm until final cuts in early September. Aug 25 |
| 34 | Tajh Boyd Out of FBTajh Boyd has signed with the Florida Blacktips of the Fall Experimental Football League. A sixth-round pick of the Jets, Boyd couldn't beat out Matt Simms for the No. 3 quarterback job and was released during final cuts. He'll look to continue his career after failing to get any practice squad offers. Boyd could eventually resurface on a reserve/futures contract. Sep 20 |
| 35 | Brett Smith Out of FBThe Toronto Argonauts have signed former Bucs QB Brett Smith. A draftnik favorite, dual-threat Smith lasted only 11 days with Tampa Bay after making 35 career starts at Wyoming, where he compiled a 17-18 record, 76:28 TD-to-INT ratio, and 20 rushing touchdowns. Only 22 years old, Smith could eventually resurface in the NFL if he gets stronger during his time in Canada. Jul 21 |
| 36 | James Franklin Out of FBLions waived/released QB James Franklin, FB Chad Abram, P Drew Butler, CB Jonte Green, CB Aaron Hester and K Giorgio Tavecchio. A three-year starter in Missouri's explosive offense, Franklin threw for 51 touchdowns and ran for 21 in his college career. But he doesn't have an NFL arm and has been unwilling to switch positions. Tavecchio loses out to Nate Freese for the kicking gig. Aug 25 |
| 37 | Pat White Out of FBFree agent QB Pat White has signed with the Edmonton Eskimos of the CFL. White "made" the Redskins' 53-man roster last season, but was cut after Week 1. He visited the Bills and Raiders in October, but couldn't latch on with either quarterback-needy team. Although White is still only 28, his NFL career is almost certainly over. Mar 27 |
| 38 | Nate Enderle Out of FBChargers signed QB Nate Enderle. The well-traveled 2011 fifth-rounder will serve as an extra caddie for Philip Rivers in camp. Enderle has no shot at making the team. Jul 31 |
| 39 | John Parker Wilson Out of FBSteelers claimed QB John Parker Wilson off waivers from the Jaguars. Pittsburgh was the only team to place a claim on Wilson, who was cut by Jacksonville on Wednesday. The 27-year-old Wilson joins Ben Roethlisberger as the only quarterbacks under contract for the 2013 season with the Steelers at the moment. He likely won't last long. Feb 28 |
| 40 | Nick Stephens |
| 41 | Tyler Wilson Out of FBBengals waived QB Tyler Wilson. Wilson spent three weeks as a camp arm with Cincinnati. The former Raiders fourth-round pick does have practice squad eligibility left for 2014. Aug 29 |
| 42 | Brendon Kay |
| 43 | Logan Kilgore |
| 44 | Kory Faulkner Out of FB49ers waived QB Kory Faulkner. Faulkner drew praise from OC Greg Roman in the spring, but the front office obviously didn't see enough long-term potential in him. A UDFA out of Southern Illinois, Faulkner earned a $3,000 signing bonus for his 49ers stint. Jul 30 |
| 45 | Collin Klein Out of FBFormer Kansas State QB Collin Klein is heading back to K-State to serve as a graduate assistant. He'll join coach Bill Snyder's staff. After refusing to play positions other than quarterback in talks with NFL teams, Klein went undrafted in 2013, and was not signed following a tryout with the Texans. He signed a two-year deal with the CFL's Montreal Alouettes this April, but has obviously changed his mind. Jun 26 |
| 46 | Rusty Smith Out of FBGiants waived/released QB Rusty Smith, LB Allen Bradford, CB Junior Mertile and P Jordan Gay. Smith made it just two weeks in the Big Apple. A 2010 sixth-rounder, Smith has attempted only 45 career passes, 40 of which came in 2010. He's nearing the end of the line. Bradford appeared in nine games for the Giants last season, registering four tackles. May 12 |
| 47 | Keith Price Out of FBSeahawks waived QB Keith Price and DE/LB Kenneth Boatright. They made the DT Kevin Williams signing official, and added RB Demitrius Bronson to the offseason roster. Price received a $7,000 signing bonus from Seattle after the draft, but never gained ground on Tarvaris Jackson, Terrelle Pryor, or B.J. Daniels at OTAs. We suspect Price will go unclaimed on waivers. Jun 16 |
| 48 | Alex Carder Out of FBLions waived QB Alex Carder. They're hanging on to Kellen Moore and Thaddeus Lewis as camp arms instead. Carder was signed as an undrafted free agent out of Western Michigan. May 31 |
| RB | 1 | Steven Jackson |
| 2 | Michael Turner |
| 3 | Reggie Bush |
| 4 | Brandon Jackson Out of FBFree agent RB Brandon Jackson wants to play in the NFL this season. Jackson, 29 in October, was out of the league last season after two injury-riddled years with the Browns. He has just eight carries for 54 yards since the end of the 2010 season, but was a versatile back for Green Bay early in his career. As much as Jackson may want back in the league, he's at or near the end of the line. Aug 20 |
| 5 | D.J. Ware |
| 6 | Chris Johnson |
| 7 | Ryan Torain Out of FBGiants released RB Ryan Torain. 27-year-old Torain was beaten out for a roster spot by seventh-round flier pick Michael Cox. Torain is clearly on his last legs in the pros. Aug 31 |
| 8 | Beanie Wells |
| 9 | Andre Brown Out of FBNFL suspended free agent RB Andre Brown eight games. The league didn't announce whether Brown violated the substance-abuse or performance-enhancing drug policy, but it was likely the latter. Brown was slapped with a four-game PED ban in 2012, but had it overturned on appeal. Going on 28, Brown is likely to remain unemployed once his suspension is up. He generated no-known interest after being cut by the Texans in August. Sep 4 |
| 10 | Jamie Harper |
| 11 | Jalen Parmele Out of FBCardinals released RB Jalen Parmele. Parmele was signed last week and got one carry in Sunday's win over the 49ers. He turned it into zero yards. The Cardinals signed undrafted rookie DT Bruce Gaston off the Dolphins' practice squad to take Parmele's roster spot. Sep 24 |
| 12 | Peyton Hillis |
| 13 | BenJarvus Green-Ellis |
| 14 | Chris Rainey Out of FBColts waived RB/KR Chris Rainey. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Rainey was released for violating team rules. It's the second time an off-field issue has gotten him cut, as the Steelers dumped him after a domestic battery arrest following his rookie season. The undersized Rainey appeared in two games for the Colts last season, only getting touches in the return game. Jul 28 |
| 15 | Terrance Ganaway Out of FBRams RB Terrance Ganaway is retiring from football. The 2012 sixth-rounder is going back to college. Waived by the Jets at final cuts, Ganaway spent all of 2012 on the Rams' active roster, but made just three appearances. He was way down the depth chart this summer. Ganaway finishes with zero career carries. Aug 21 |
| 16 | Alvester Alexander |
| 17 | Mikel Leshoure Out of FBFree agent RBs Mikel Leshoure, Andre Brown, Tim Hightower and Brian Leonard worked out for the Saints on Tuesday. It's a strong indication at least one of Pierre Thomas (shoulder) and Khiry Robinson (arm) won't be ready for Week 11, if not both. Nov 11 |
| 18 | Brandon Saine Out of FBPackers waived RB Brandon Saine. Saine tore his ACL in Week 6. The 2011 UDFA carried 18 times for 69 yards as a rookie, but didn't touch the ball on offense last season. It's not a good sign for Saine's future that a team as RB-needy as the Packers are cutting him loose at this stage of the offseason. Apr 24 |
| 19 | Jewel Hampton Out of FB49ers waived or released RB Jewel Hampton, S D.J. Campbell, WR Devon Wylie, QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson, TE Kevin Greene, P Colton Schmidt, WR David Reed, and ILB Kion Wilson. Hampton was liked by the 49ers last year, but he was bringing up the rear of the depth chart. McBLT was the No. 4 quarterback. Wylie is a slot receiver-only. Aug 25 |
| 20 | Zach Brown Out of FBBills signed RB Zach Brown, OT Adam Grant, DE Corbin Bryant, DT Jarron Gilbert, and LB Brian Smith to reserve/future contracts. These players will help round out the bottom of Buffalo's offseason roster after spending most of 2012 on the practice squad. Brown is a 2012 undrafted rookie out of Pitt, where he spent most of his college career as a backup. Dec 31 |
| 21 | Lance Ball Out of FBBroncos released RB Lance Ball. Ball's release means the Broncos will likely keep UDFA C.J. Anderson on the 53-man roster. None of his one-year, $1.323 million contract was guaranteed. Ball has averaged 4.2 yards on 192 career carries. Aug 30 |
| 22 | Ray Rice |
| 23 | Evan Royster Out of FBRedskins waived RB Evan Royster. Royster averaged 5.1 YPC with 25 receptions across three seasons in the Shanahan run game, but the new Redskins regime had no use for him due to special teams limitations. Zone-running teams might like Royster as a potential No. 3 back. At worst, he's a functional and versatile reserve. Aug 30 |
| 24 | Isaac Redman Out of FBFree agent RB Isaac Redman has retired from the NFL. His career was ended by a spinal cord injury last season. Redman likely suffered the injury when he was diagnosed with a concussion in Week 2. The 29-year-old spent his entire career with the Steelers as an UDFA out of Bowie State. He rushed for 1,148 yards and five touchdowns on 282 carries. Aug 22 |
| 25 | Michael Bush Out of FBCardinals waived RB Michael Bush. Bush was just signed last week. He'll be released to create room for OLB Matt Shaughnessy's return from I.R. Stepfan Taylor will start in place of Andre Ellington against the Chiefs, with Marion Grice getting change-of-pace snaps. The Cardinals have also promoted RB Kerywnn Williams from the practice squad. Dec 5 |
| 26 | D.J. Harper Out of FB49ers waived RB D.J. Harper, LB Joe Holland, and OL Al Netter. Harper is an undrafted rookie from Boise State, where he succeeded Doug Martin at tailback. Holland was a special teamer and inside linebacker prospect. Aug 26 |
| 27 | Tim Cornett Out of FBTexans waived RB Tim Cornett. Cornett was signed by Houston two weeks ago and was cut along with fellow RBs Andre Brown and Dennis Johnson on Monday. He's now been with the Cardinals and Texans since going undrafted in May. Cornett (6-foot, 209) ran a 4.48 forty and posted a 10-foot-5 broad jump in the lead-up to the draft. Aug 11 |
| 28 | Stephen Houston Out of FBSteelers signed RB Stephen Houston. Cut by the Patriots on Sunday, Houston gets scooped up quickly. It's not a surprise as the UDFA out of Indiana showed truly unique athleticism at his Pro Day. In Pittsburgh, the depth chart is open behind Le'Veon Bell, LeGarrette Blount and Dri Archer. Aug 13 |
| 29 | Alex Green Out of FBJets released RB Alex Green. The Jets have dumped both Green and Daryl Richardson, leaving only Bilal Powell behind Chris Johnson and Chris Ivory. Green, a third-round pick of the Packers in 2011, has a pitiful 3.42 YPC average on his 149 career carries. Aug 30 |
| 30 | Derrick Strozier |
| 31 | David Fluellen Out of FBColts acquired RB David Fluellen from the Eagles in exchange for K Cody Parkey. The Eagles were planning to cut Fluellen. He was a priority UDFA signing out of Toledo after rushing for 3,336 yards and 28 scores in his college career. Fluellen fell to the bottom of the depth chart after spending too much time on the trainer's table with a calf injury. He'll compete for a backup job in Indianapolis. Aug 20 |
| 32 | Roy Finch Out of FBThe Boston Globe's Erik Frenz believes Patriots rookie RB Roy Finch will make the final roster. An UDFA out of Oklahoma, Finch is an explosive runner with the skill set to help in the passing game and on special teams. Standing at only 5-foot-7, 177, Finch will never be an every-down back, but he has the playmaking ability to make the most out of limited touches. With Shane Vereen entering the final year of his deal, Finch is an interesting stash in deeper Dynasty formats. Jul 10 |
| 33 | Tim Flanders Out of FBSaints waived RB Tim Flanders, WR Tobais Palmer, TE Je'Ron Hamm and LB Chidera Uzo-Diribe. Flanders and Hamm were both well-regarded undrafted rookies, but didn't shine once the pads came on. Palmer appeared in one game for the Jaguars in 2013. He could have trouble finding work as a camp body at this stage of the game. Aug 21 |
| 34 | Jordan Lynch Out of FBBears waived RB Jordan Lynch. The converted QB from NIU was buried on the depth chart all preseason. Perhaps the Bears were "hiding" Lynch to stash him on the practice squad. Aug 29 |
| 35 | Jordan Roberts |
| 36 | Orwin Smith |
| 37 | Kapri Bibbs Out of FBBroncos waived RB Kapri Bibbs. Bibbs was promoted from the practice squad last month after drawing interest from Buffalo. He didn't appear in any games. The Broncos signed RB Jeremy Stewart in a corresponding move. Nov 22 |
| 38 | Javarris James Out of FBFree agent RB Javarris James was arrested on Thursday for failing to appear in court. James' rap sheet has been growing since entering the league in 2010. In 2011, he was arrested for marijuana possession, and it was announced last month that he would be suspended for the first four games of the 2013 season for violating the league's substance abuse policy. James hasn't appeared in a game since 2010 with the Colts. Mar 9 |
| 39 | Josh Vaughan Out of FBFalcons declared RB Josh Vaughan, S Kemal Ishmael, S Zeke Motta, G Harland Gunn, T Ryan Schraeder, DT Travian Robertson, and DE Stansly Maponga inactive for Sunday's Week 2 game against the Rams. Maponga, Schraeder, Ishmael, and Motta are all rookies. Roddy White (ankle) and Julio Jones (knee) are both active. Sep 15 |
| 40 | Darren Evans Out of FBTitans waived RB Darren Evans. Evans, 24, was considered an intriguing early-down bruising back when he came out of Virginia Tech in 2011, but he went undrafted and has only appeared in three career games. Evans has yet to see a single carry in the NFL. Apr 19 |
| 41 | Anthony Allen Out of FBBills waived RB Anthony Allen. A 2011 seventh-round pick of the Ravens, Allen was signed to a reserve/future deal in January. Allen has 19 career carries for 69 yards (3.6 YPC), but was out of the league last season. May 12 |
| 42 | Damien Berry Out of FBRavens RB Damien Berry was arrested Tuesday night for failure to appear in court. Berry was pulled over in January, and he was charged with speeding and driving on a suspended license. He was released on Wednesday on his own recognizance, and Berry now has a court date set for October 10. It's not a major charge, but any bad news for a bottom-of-the-roster player isn't good. Jun 13 |
| 43 | Richard Murphy Out of FBJaguars signed RB Richard Murphy from the team's practice squad and waived FB Will Ta'ufo'ou. Murphy was signed as an undrafted free agent out of LSU in 2011. He'll add depth behind Rashad Jennings, Montell Owens, and Jordan Todman this week. Ta'ufo'ou was no longer needed with Greg Jones finally healthy. Dec 1 |
| 44 | William Powell Out of FBTexans waived/released RB William Powell, WR Joe Adams, WR Alec Lemon, NT David Hunter, NT Austin Brown, OLB Terrance Lloyd, OLB Lawrence Sidbury, CB Junior Mertile and G Sam Longo. Powell was behind Arian Foster, Jonathan Grimes, Alfred Blue and Ronnie Brown in the backfield picture. The Texans need to make four more moves to get to 75. Aug 25 |
| 45 | Cierre Wood Out of FBRavens waived RB Cierre Wood. Wood was a priority UDFA addition after the 2013 draft by the Texans and won their No. 3 tailback job. But he got busted for allegedly smoking pot in the team hotel room on a road trip and was waived. Now Wood loses out to Justin Forsett and Lorenzo Taliaferro for a roster spot in Baltimore. Aug 25 |
| 46 | Stefphon Jefferson Out of FBTitans signed Nevada RB Stefphon Jefferson. Jefferson (5-foot-10 1/2, 213) was the Nevada offense in 2012, carrying 375 times in only 13 games for 1,883 yards (5.02 YPC) and 24 touchdowns. He caught 22 passes. Jefferson ran a 4.68 forty with a 1.61 ten-yard split at the Combine, demonstrating below average initial burst and long speed. He runs high and lacks ability to make the first defender miss. Jefferson will try to latch on as the Titans' No. 3 running back. Apr 27 |
| 47 | Deonte Williams |
| 48 | Bradley Randle |
| 49 | Quentin Hines |
| 50 | De'Leon Eskridge |
| 51 | Armond Smith Out of FBPanthers waived RB Armond Smith. Carolina officially activated Jonathan Stewart (ankles) from short-term I.R. Saturday. Smith is the odd man out in the backfield. He stood out in the 2012 preseason (4.3 YPC) but has rushed for just seven yards on ten real carries. Nov 2 |
| 52 | Delone Carter |
| 53 | Tauren Poole Out of FBPanthers waived RB Tauren Poole. Poole was just promoted from the practice squad over the weekend. He handled one carry against the Ravens, losing a fumble on the play. It's a sign RB Fozzy Whittaker will be healthy along with Darrin Reaves for Week 5. Sep 29 |

| 3 | Lawrence Vickers Out of FBGiants worked out free agent FB Lawrence Vickers. Vickers was released by the Cowboys two weeks ago. He underwent back surgery in April. Vickers would serve as insurance for Henry Hynoski (knee), who is questionable for Week 1. Now on the wrong side of 30, Vickers was merely ordinary as a lead blocker last season. Jul 30 |
| 4 | Le'Ron McClain |
| 5 | Jacob Hester Out of FBFree agent FB Jacob Hester participated in Saints rookie minicamp on a tryout basis, but wasn't offered a contract. Hester was out of the league last season after being part of the Broncos' final cuts. He just turned 29, can carry the rock in a pinch, and cover kicks. May 20 |
| 6 | Tony Fiammetta Out of FBBears released FB Tony Fiammetta (hamstring) with an injury settlement. Fiammetta's recurring hamstring issue popped up again in Week 3. The Bears need his roster spot to address their injuries on defense. LB Darryl Sharpton has been signed. Sep 25 |
| 7 | Frank Summers Out of FBBills waived FB Frank Summers. The move clears a roster spot for C.J. Spiller, who is coming off injured reserve/designated to return. A Bill each of the past two seasons, Summers had played 129 snaps across 10 games in 2014. The Bills will likely roll with Anthony Dixon if they need a fullback. Dec 16 |
| 8 | Chris Pressley Out of FBBrowns signed FB Chris Pressley. Pressley missed the entire 2013 season due to a knee injury. Before that, the 5'11/260-pounder was an average lead-blocker for the Bengals. Pressley will fight for the right to be Ben Tate's battering ram in Kyle Shanahan's zone-blocking scheme. The Browns did not carry a true blocking fullback last season. Apr 14 |
| 9 | Brit Miller |
| 10 | Ray Agnew Out of FBBrowns waived FB Ray Agnew. Agnew made the roster out of camp as a UDFA, but has earned a negative grade in run blocking from PFF through seven weeks. FB Kiero Small has been called up from the practice squad. Oct 20 |
| 11 | Maurice Hagens |
| 12 | Collin Mooney Out of FBTitans placed FB Collin Mooney on injured reserve with a torn hamstring, ending his season. Mooney was injured in Sunday's loss to the Colts and will be shut down with just four weeks remaining in the regular season. He graded out as the No. 4 fullback by Pro Football Focus and will be back at his $495,000 salary in 2014. The Titans signed FB Quinn Johnson to replace Mooney on the active roster. Dec 3 |
| 13 | Evan Rodriguez Out of FBDolphins waived TE/FB Evan Rodriguez. They're moving forward with Tyler Clutts. Rodriguez was the 111th pick in the 2012 draft. He lacks a high ceiling and comes with off-the-field baggage. Sep 1 |
| 14 | Braden Wilson Out of FBChiefs agreed to terms with No. 204 overall pick FB Braden Wilson on a four-year contract. A pure lead-blocker, Wilson carried the ball just 39 times in four seasons at Kansas State. An imposing 6-foot-3, 251 pounds, Wilson clocked an acceptable 4.81 in the 40-yard dash. He'll compete with Anthony Sherman for lead-blocking duties in camp. Wilson will most likely be limited to special teams if he makes the team as a rookie. May 15 |
| 15 | Zach Boren Out of FBTexans signed Ohio State FB Zach Boren. Boren (5-foot-11 1/2, 238) touched the ball just 37 times in four seasons for the Buckeyes and played linebacker for the final six games of his career. He ran a 5.0-flat forty at the Combine. Boren will compete for a special teams role. Apr 27 |
| 16 | Lonnie Pryor Out of FBBucs signed FB Lonnie Pryor off the Jaguars' practice squad. With Brian Leonard taking on some more base work in the backfield, the Bucs add a lead-blocking prospect. Pryor, an undrafted rookie out of Florida State, can help on special teams and did rush 124 times for 718 yards with 18 touchdowns in his Seminoles career. Nov 19 |
| 17 | Ben Bartholomew |
| 18 | Ina Liaina |
| 19 | Stephen Campbell |
| 20 | J.C. Copeland Out of FBCowboys signed LSU FB J.C. Copeland. Copeland (5-foot-11 1/8, 271) went to LSU as a four-star defensive tackle, but converted to fullback as a true freshman and became a 22-game starter. What Copeland lacks in versatility -- he's no more than a short-yardage runner and caught seven career passes at LSU -- he makes up for with aggressive, relentless lead blocking. An extremely physical player, Copeland consistently removed linebackers from plays to clear alleys for Jeremy Hill. Dallas isn't a great landing spot for Copeland, however, due to OC Scott Linehan's pass-happy leanings. May 10 |
| 21 | Chad Young |
| 22 | Kadeem Jones |
| 23 | Quinn Johnson Out of FBTitans released FB Quinn Johnson, waived CB George Baker and LB Jamal Merrell, and waived/injured WR Eric Ward. Johnson started the 2013 season on I.R. before getting an injury settlement and returning to appear in four games for the Titans. Baker spent a couple weeks on the practice squad last season. Merrell and Ward are rookie free agents. May 19 |
| 24 | Harvey Unga Out of FBJaguars signed FB Harvey Unga. A former seventh-round Supplemental pick of the Bears, Unga hasn't appeared in a game since 2012. He participated in the Panthers' rookie camp on a tryout basis, but failed to earn a contract. The Jaguars are giving Unga a look at fullback after losing Bradie Ewing. WR Chad Hall was waived. Aug 16 |
| 25 | Owen Marecic Out of FB49ers GM Trent Baalke says free agent FB Owen Marecic isn't interested in playing in the NFL. After losing FB Bruce Miller (shoulder) to injured reserve last week, the 49ers approached Marecic. The 25-year-old declined their offer and seems content with life away from the gridiron. The 49ers signed DL/FB Will Tukuafu. Dec 21 |
| 26 | Shaun Chapas Out of FBRavens agreed to terms with FB/TE Shaun Chapas. Chapas is a special teams asset and can do some lead blocking in a pinch. He'd back up Kyle Juszczyk if he sticks. May 19 |
| 27 | Dorson Boyce Out of FBRedskins waived FB Dorson Boyce. Boyce missed all of 2012 with a torn labrum in his shoulder. Jun 13 |
| 28 | Eric Kettani Out of FBChiefs signed FB Eric Kettani to a reserve/future contract. Kettani has bounced around the NFL since going undrafted out of Navy in 2009, spending time with the Patriots and Redskins, and sitting on Kansas City's 2013 practice squad. He'll push for a roster spot behind Anthony Sherman in 2014. Jan 6 |
| 29 | Owen Schmitt |
| 30 | Brian Leonard Out of FBSaints waived RB Brian Leonard. It's a sign that Pierre Thomas or Khiry Robinson could return this week. Leonard spent just six days on the Saints roster. Nov 19 |
| 31 | James Baker |
| 32 | Ryan D'Imperio Out of FBGiants FB Ryan D'Imperio has retired from football. Still only 26, D'Imperio must not have liked his roster chances despite being the Giants' only healthy fullback. Ben Guidugli has been signed to take his place. It's a sign Henry Hynoski (knee) will be ready for Week 1. D'Imperio was out of the league last season, and was cut by the Chiefs earlier this year. Aug 13 |
| 33 | Jon Hoese |
| 34 | Ben Guidugli Out of FBRams signed TE Ben Guidugli from their practice squad. The younger brother of former University of Cincinnati QB Gino, Ben is an undersized H-back type. He'll be limited to special teams duty if he's active versus the 49ers. Dec 27 |
| 35 | Eddie Williams |
| 36 | Chad Abram |
| 37 | Alex Debniak Out of FB49ers waived FB Alex Debniak. The 2013 UDFA out of Stanford missed his rookie year with a torn Achilles'. Apr 22 |
| 38 | Ryan Roberson |
| 39 | Jonathan Amosa |
| 40 | Rupert Bryan |
| 41 | Cameron White |
| 42 | Devonte Campbell |
| 43 | Michael Zordich |
| 44 | Nate Eachus Out of FBChiefs waived RB Nate Eachus, FB Ryan D'Imperio, and S Jose Gumbs. Eachus appeared in 11 games for the Chiefs last season, rushing for 18 yards on five carries and catching one pass for 19 yards. May 13 |
| 45 | Jourdan Brooks |
| 46 | Karl Williams |
| 47 | Brock Bolen Out of FBBrowns released FB Brock Bolen. 28-year-old Bolen was trying to make the Browns as a special teamer. Aug 19 |
| WR1 | 1 | Nate Burleson Out of FBBrowns released WR Nate Burleson. Burleson, 33, was bothered by a hamstring injury all camp, rendering him unable to compete against the likes of Charles Johnson and Travis Benjamin. Still, it's a terrible sign for Burleson that the league's most WR-needy team didn't feel the need to keep him. Having appeared in just 15 games over the last two years, Burleson will find very little interest on the open market. Aug 30 |
| 2 | Jabar Gaffney Out of FBUpdating an earlier item, free agent Jabar Gaffney is not trying out for the Patriots at this week's minicamp. Very well then. Going on 33, Gaffney caught just four passes in three games for the Dolphins last season, and has yet to make a visit in free agency. Jun 11 |
| 3 | Santonio Holmes Out of FBFree agent Santonio Holmes visited with the Chiefs. Holmes was released by the Bears earlier this week and went unclaimed on waivers. With Donnie Avery and A.J. Jenkins sidelined, the Chiefs are down to just four healthy receivers. 30-year-old Holmes struggled when on the field this season, but could provide a veteran option behind Dwayne Bowe. Nov 15 |
| 4 | Jacoby Jones |
| 5 | Laurent Robinson |
| 6 | Brandon Gibson |
| 7 | Titus Young |
| 8 | Joe Morgan |
| 9 | Darius Johnson Out of FBFormer Falcons WR Darius Johnson was arrested for DUI on Thursday. Johnson was released by the Falcons on Friday, but the team refused to say if the arrest played any part. "I’m not going to comment on the reason that Darius was released," coach Mike Smith said. "We never do. There was a transaction that we put in today and he is no longer a member of our team." A diminutive, speed-deficient prospect, Johnson may have trouble latching on elsewhere. Jul 26 |
| 10 | Keenan Davis |
| 11 | Kevin Hardy |
| 12 | Tim Benford Out of FBCowboys waived WR Tim Benford. Benford spent all of 2012 and 2013 on the Cowboys' practice squad. He caught just 4-of-7 targets for 34 yards this preseason. Benford also dropped a pass. He might be in line for another tour on the practice squad. Aug 27 |
| 13 | LaRon Byrd Out of FBBrowns claimed WR LaRon Byrd off waivers from the Cowboys. Byrd looks the part at 6'4/220 with 4.45 speed, but had one catch across two seasons for the Cardinals and then lasted just three months with the Cowboys this offseason. He's not the answer for the Browns' wideout woes. Aug 31 |
| 14 | Greg Childs Out of FBEx-Vikings WR Greg Childs passed through waivers unclaimed. The "risk" to put in a waiver claim would've been his scheduled bare-minimum salary of $570,000 with no guarantees, so the fact that he fetched zero interest suggests the NFL has thrown in the towel on Childs. With bad knees and no catches through two pro seasons, Childs' career is likely over before it began. Mar 7 |
| 15 | Lamont Bryant Out of FBPanthers waived/injured WR Lamont Bryant and signed OL Garrett Chisolm and WR/TE Dominique Curry. Bryant showed up to Panthers camp injured and may spend the year on I.R. once he clears waivers. Chisolm and Curry will be training camp practice bodies. Jul 24 |
| 16 | Ryan Whalen Out of FBBengals waived/released WR Ryan Whalen, CB R.J. Stanford, DT Larry Black, S Isaiah Lewis and K Quinn Sharp. A 2011 sixth-rounder, Whalen has kicked around the bottom rung of the Bengals' roster for three seasons, catching 11 passes across 17 games. Stanford appeared in 13 games for the Dolphins in 2013. He'll shop his wares as a special teamer. Aug 25 |
| 17 | Jamar Newsome Out of FBChiefs waived WR Jamar Newsome. Newsome appeared in six games for the Chiefs last year, catching five balls for 73 yards. His roster spot was needed for an extra tight end thanks to Tony Moeaki's shoulder injury. Aug 27 |
| 18 | Terrence Toliver Out of FBBears waived WR Terrence Toliver (foot) with an injury settlement. Toliver was a roster sleeper thanks to a 6'5/204 frame that we know the Bears love, but a small fracture was discovered in his foot. He's been hit with an eight-week recovery timetable. OL Graham Pocic was signed in a corresponding move. Jul 31 |
| 19 | Richard Goodman Out of FBChargers released WR Richard Goodman. Goodman was a special teamer and kick returner. Fozzy Whittaker can fill that role, allowing the Chargers to add linebacker help. In three seasons with San Diego, Goodman caught one pass and averaged 27.6 yards per kick return. Sep 2 |
| 20 | Ben Obomanu Out of FBJets released WR Ben Obomanu. Obomanu had caught just one pass in three games, and committed a penalty in Sunday's blowout loss to the Titans. Obomanu has only five catches in 11 games since the end of the 2011 season. Oct 1 |
| 21 | Ted Ginn |
| 22 | Devery Henderson Out of FBThe National Football Post reports there has been "cursory contact" between the Saints and free agent WR Devery Henderson. Henderson, 31, was released by the Redskins last week after reporting to camp out of shape. He's lost multiple steps as a deep threat. The Saints might be better off rolling with Steve Breaston and their younger receivers. Aug 18 |
| 23 | Erik Lora Out of FBVikings signed Eastern Illinois WR Erik Lora. Lora (5-foot-10 3/8, 203) was Jimmy Garoppolo's go-to guy, setting school records in catches (332), yards (4,006), and receiving scores (35) as the EIU Panthers' slot receiver. He clocked 4.48 at his March Pro Day, adding a 36-inch vertical and 9-foot-11 broad jump. Although not an overwhelmingly explosive player, Lora has the build and soft hands necessary to keep the chains moving inside the numbers. He will fight with Lestar Jean for a roster spot in Minnesota. May 10 |
| 24 | Taulib Ikharo |
| 25 | Robby Toma |
| 26 | Carlin Isles |
| 27 | Matt Willis Out of FBFree agent WR Matt Willis worked out for the Dolphins on Tuesday. The longtime Bronco was released by Denver at final cuts. The Dolphins are in the beginning stages of finding somebody to take Brandon Gibson's (knee, injured reserve) roster spot. Willis would be a glorified special teamer. Oct 29 |
| 28 | Lavelle Hawkins Out of FBBucs released WR/KR Lavelle Hawkins. Hawkins' college connection to Bucs OC Jeff Tedford could only get him so far. The return man hasn't caught a pass in a game since 2012 while with the Titans. Aug 20 |
| 29 | Brett Swain Out of FBSeahawks signed WR Brett Swain, formerly of the 49ers. Swain was originally picked up by the Packers as an undrafted free agent out of San Diego State, so Seahawks GM John Schneider has some familiarity with him. Swain will compete for a fifth receiver role in Seattle's training camp. Apr 8 |
| 30 | Chaz Schilens Out of FBLions released WR Chaz Schilens, CB Domonique Johnson, OT Derek Hardman, DL John Drew, and DB Ross Weaver. Schilens, 27, is clearly on his last NFL legs. Johnson made some waves early in camp by shutting down Mike Thomas in practice, though Thomas was also cut. Aug 23 |
| 31 | Brian Robiskie Out of FBTitans signed WR Brian Robiskie to a one-year contract. We're not sure why Robiskie keeps getting chances; it's been clear for years he isn't an asset. He does have NFL connections, as his father is a longtime coach. Robiskie is 26 years old. He's been bouncing around the league since 2009, managing 43 career catches, 485 yards, and four TDs across 38 games. May 2 |
| 32 | Johnathan Haggerty |
| 33 | Tiquan Underwood Out of FBPanthers released WR Tiquan Underwood and waived WR Toney Clemons. Underwood was originally expected to fill the occasional deep threat role for the Panthers, as they remade their receiver corps. He quickly fell behind Tavarres King and Kealoha Pilares. Not making it to final cuts isn't a good sign for Underwood. He caught his lone preseason target for a five-yard gain. Aug 24 |
| 34 | Charly Martin Out of FBJaguars claimed WR Charly Martin off waivers from the 49ers. Martin was waived on Tuesday. A career reserve and special teamer, Martin will fight for one of the Jaguars' final roster spots. Aug 7 |
| 35 | Naaman Roosevelt Out of FBBills signed WR Naaman Roosevelt. Just three days after getting waived by the Lions, Roosevelt gets scooped up in a familiar place. Roosevelt played his college ball at the University of Buffalo, and has made his only NFL appearances as a Bill (16 games between 2010-11). He'll be on the outside of the roster bubble looking in. Jul 21 |
| 36 | Emmanuel Arceneaux |
| 37 | Ifeanyi Momah Out of FBBrowns signed WR Ifeanyi Momah to the practice squad. Momah (6-foot-7, 239) saw a ton of first-team reps with the Eagles during training camp and preseason, but lost out to special teamer Jeff Maehl for a roster spot. The Eagles loved Momah's size, but he didn't do much with his snaps with the starters. He's essentially the No. 8 receiver in Cleveland. Sep 9 |
| 38 | Sederrick Cunningham Out of FBPackers waived WR Sederrick Cunningham. Cunningham is a former undrafted free agent out of Furman. He spent last year on injured reserve after dislocating his wrist on the first day of training camp. Apr 11 |
| 39 | Jordan White Out of FBJets released WR Jordan White with an injury settlement. 25-year-old White was a seventh-round flier out of Western Michigan last year. He needed sports hernia surgery and was out for the rest of preseason. Aug 4 |
| 40 | Chris Summers Out of FBESPN 1500 Twin Cities believes 2012 undrafted free agent Chris Summers could push for the Vikings' fifth receiver spot. Standing in at 6-foot-5, Summers has bulked up from 208 pounds to 220. The Liberty product spent his rookie year on the practice squad. That's still his most likely 2013 destination. May 27 |
| 41 | Marcus Jackson |
| 42 | Derek Moye Out of FBSteelers declared WR Derek Moye, QB Landry Jones, NT Steve McLendon, LB LaMarr Woodley, TE Richard Gordon, CB Demarcus Van Dyke, LB Stevenson Sylvester inactive for Thanksgiving against the Ravens. Brett Keisel returns for Week 13. Woodley is still injured, robbing the Steelers' of easily their best pass rusher. McLendon's loss due to a multi-week ankle injury affects Pittsburgh's run defense at nose tackle. Nov 28 |
| 43 | Kamar Jorden Out of FBVikings signed WR Kamar Jorden and OG Josh Samuda to reserve/future contracts. Jordan has been bouncing around the NFL and CFL since going undrafted out of Bowling Green two Aprils ago. Samuda spent a large chunk of the 2013 season on the Dolphins' practice squad. Both will be 2014 roster long shots. Jan 3 |
| 44 | Nicholas Johnson |
| 45 | Roy Roundtree |
| 46 | Chad Bumphis Out of FBDolphins waived WR Chad Bumphis. The Miami Herald reported earlier this month that Bumphis was "making a case" for a roster spot, but five of his nine preseason catches came in the supremely meaningless Hall-of-Fame game. He's a candidate for the practice squad. Aug 31 |
| 47 | Dan Buckner |
| 48 | Zach Rogers Out of FBJets waived or released WR Zach Rogers, TE Chris Pantale, OL Erik Cook, OL J.B. Shugarts, DL Junior Aumavae, DL Lanier Coleman, DL Tevita Finau, LB Troy Davis, LB JoJo Dickson, LB Jacquies Smith, DB Royce Adams, DB Mike Edwards, and DB Rontez Miles. Many of these players we've never even heard of. Rogers was a favorite of Mike Mayock, but it's not a good sign when you can't make the Jets. Aug 31 |
| 49 | Mark Harrison Out of FBChiefs signed WR Mark Harrison, CB Kip Edwards, CB Quinton Byrd and WR Cole Stanford. A "name" undrafted free agent last season, Harrison was waived by the Pats two weeks ago. He reportedly showed up late to an OTAs session before earning his walking papers. Harrison is an intriguing size/speed prospect with 4.46 wheels to go along with his 6-foot-3, 230-pound frame, but spent 2013 stowed away on the reserve/PUP list. He's likely just a camp body despite the Chiefs' unsettled situation at wideout. Jun 17 |
| 50 | Cole McKenzie |
| 51 | Jamal Miles |
| 52 | Rashad Evans |
| 53 | Tyrone Goard Out of FBBengals signed Eastern Kentucky WR Tyrone Goard. Goard (6-foot-3 7/8, 205) registered 41 catches for 900 yards (22.0 YPR) and eight touchdowns as a senior. He has small hands (8 3/4") and managed 10 reps of 225 pounds on the bench, but ran a 4.5-flat forty time with a 36-inch vertical. Goard is a project who should benefit from an NFL weight room. May 2 |
| 54 | Sam McGuffie Out of FBPatriots waived WR/RB Sam McGuffie, LB Taylor Reed, and DL Cory Grissom. They were all end-of-the-roster talents. McGuffie was once a young college star at Michigan, but transferred to Rice after Rich Rodriguez left Ann Arbor, and went undrafted last April. He runs in the 4.3s at 5-foot-10, 201. Mar 10 |
| 55 | Terrell Sinkfield Out of FBGiants waived WR Terrell Sinkfield, FB Ben Guidugli, WR Brandon Collins, TE Jamie Childers, TE Chase Clement, OL Michael Jasper, OL Austin Holtz, LB Jake Muasau, LB Etienne Sabino, DT Frank Okam, CB La'Ron Scott, CB Junior Mertile, and S Alonzo Tweedy. Sinkfield is a blazer with alleged sub-4.2 wheels, but he's now been cut by three NFL teams. There are no other surprises among New York's first cuts. Aug 25 |
| 56 | Jheranie Boyd |
| 57 | Eric Rogers |
| 58 | Rashaad Carter |
| 59 | Erik Highsmith |
| 60 | Chip Reeves |
| 61 | Bert Reed Out of FBNFL suspended free agent WR Bert Reed for the first four games of the regular season. An undrafted free agent out of Florida State in 2012, Reed languished on practice squads last season and was cut by the Steelers in April. The suspension ensures he won't be a competing for a roster spot in August. Jul 17 |
| 62 | Brandon Carswell Out of FB49ers waived WR Brandon Carswell. Carswell missed all of 2013 with a torn ACL suffered at June minicamp. A 2012 undrafted free agent out of USC, Carswell has also spent time with Oakland. Apr 11 |
| 63 | Joseph Anderson Out of FBEagles waived WR Joe Anderson. Anderson was signed by the Eagles a month ago. Despite receiving a relatively lofty $20,000 offseason signing bonus, the 2012 undrafted free agent and potential special teamer doesn't even make it to the offseason program. Mar 14 |
| 64 | Jeremy Ebert Out of FBFalcons released WR Jeremy Ebert. Ebert was added just before camp opened. He caught three passes for 18 yards in six games with the Jaguars last season. Aug 30 |
| 65 | T.J. Moe Out of FBRams waived WR T.J. Moe, WR Jordan Harris, OT R.J. Dill, OT D.J. Morrell, CB Jarrid Bryant, P Bobby Cowan, LS Jorgen Hus, FB Kadeem Jones and LB Johnny Millard. LB Pat Schiller was waived/injured. A 2013 undrafted free agent and Missouri native, Moe had only one catch through three preseason games. Moe was an effective slot receiver for Mizzou, but lacks the athleticism to stick in the NFL. Aug 25 |
| 66 | Jasper Collins Out of FBDolphins signed Mount Union WR Jasper Collins. Collins (5-foot-10 1/4, 180) is the latest in a line of D-III Mount Union receivers to enter the NFL, following Pierre Garcon and Cecil Shorts. Collins caught 92 passes for 1,694 yards (18.4 YPR) and 22 TDs as a senior and ran forty times of 4.47 and 4.50 at his Pro Day, with a 1.56 ten-yard split. Collins needs to get stronger, but has a chance to develop into an explosive slot receiver. Apr 28 |
| 67 | LaQuan Williams Out of FBRavens waived/released WR LaQuan Williams, LB Austin Spitler, LB Nick DiMarco, S Omar Brown, OT David Mims, CB Deji Olatoye, CB Marrio Norman, RB Cierre Wood, P Richie Leone and WR Mike Willie. Williams, who was on the Ravens' Super Bowl team in 2012, but was waived at final cuts last year and doesn't make first cuts this time. Marlon Brown, Michael Campanaro, Deonte Thompson and Kamar Aiken are all still on the roster at wideout. Aug 25 |
| 68 | Diondre Borel Out of FBTitans signed WR Diondre Borel, DT Zach Clayton, DE Thaddeus Gibson, S Suaesi Tuimaunei, and TE Martell Webb to reserve/future contracts. Clayton was Tennessee's seventh-round pick in 2011. Borel was an offseason hype all-star in Green Bay, along with Tori Gurley. Neither of them cracked a 53-man roster during the regular season. Dec 31 |
| 69 | Julius Pruitt Out of FBDolphins waived WR Julius Pruitt and LB Michael Clay. Signed on July 30, Pruitt ended up catching just one preseason pass. This was the fourth straight camp Pruitt has spent with the Dolphins, but he remains stuck on nine regular season appearances, zero of which came in 2012. Pruitt turns 28 in December. Aug 27 |
| 70 | Mardy Gilyard |
| 71 | Jon Baldwin |
| 72 | Chastin West Out of FBFree agent WR Chastin West visited the Rams and took a physical on Tuesday. West (6-foot-1, 216) has bounced around a bit since entering the league as an undrafted free agent out of Fresno State. He earned a Super Bowl ring as a member of the Packers' practice squad in 2010, then caught 13 passes for 163 yards and two touchdowns with the Jaguars the following season. Jul 23 |
| 73 | Demetrius Fields |
| 74 | Scott Pillar |
| 75 | Mike Davis Out of FBRaiders waived/released WR Mike Davis, WR Rahsaan Vaughn, TE Kyle Auffray, OT Emmett Cleary, DT Torell Troup, LB Justin Cole, and CB Jansen Watson. Davis was a somewhat ballyhooed UDFA out of Texas. It's probably not a good sign that he couldn't crack a well-below-league-average Raiders wide receiver corps. Troup was a high draft pick in Buffalo under ex-GM Buddy Nix. Aug 24 |
| 76 | Cody Hoffman Out of FBRedskins waived/released WR Cody Hoffman, LB Jeremy Kimbrough, DB Ross Madison, FB Stephen Campbell, DL Jake McDonough, LB Adrian Robinson, WR Rashad Lawrence, and DL Jeremy Towns. Hoffman was a speed-deficient UDFA out of Brigham Young. Aug 24 |
| 77 | Quintin Payton |
| 78 | Wilson Van Hooser |
| 79 | C.J. Goodwin |
| WR2 | 1 | Braylon Edwards Out of FBJets released WR Braylon Edwards. Edwards was in the middle of a workmanlike camp before going down with a leg injury last week. He missed Saturday's regular season dress rehearsal, sealing his fate. Edwards was outlasted on the roster by UDFA WR Ryan Spadola, which can't be a good sign for his future. On the wrong side of 30 and three years removed from his last worthwhile campaign, Edwards is near the end. Aug 26 |
| 2 | Davone Bess |
| 3 | Jerome Simpson Out of FBVikings released WR Jerome Simpson. Simpson's three-game suspension for violating the league's substance-abuse policy was set to end on Monday, but it was revealed Thursday that he was busted on marijuana and alcohol charges in July. Simply stunning immaturity from a 28-year-old receiver who's dealt with various legal issues throughout his NFL career. Simpson is a competent deep threat, but has had trouble staying on the field thanks to his bans. Considering the current climate for NFL troublemakers, he's unlikely to find a new home any time soon. Sep 18 |
| 4 | Harry Douglas |
| 5 | Brian Hartline |
| 6 | Anthony Armstrong Out of FBBrowns waived/released WR Anthony Armstrong, RB Edwin Baker, OL Randall Harris, CB T.J. Heath, DL Cam Henderson, WR Jonathan Krause, OL Ryan Lee, LB Caleb McSurdy, OL Keavon Milton, LB Keith Pough, WR Tim Smith, OL Jeremiah Warren and TE Martell Webb. Armstrong generated some buzz during OTAs, but that was likely due to the ex-Redskin's familiarity with the Kyle Shanahan system. Baker lost out to Dion Lewis and Isaiah Crowell. Aug 25 |
| 7 | Kerry Meier Out of FBFalcons waived WR Kerry Meier. A 2010 fifth-round pick out of Kansas, Meier only made it into 12 career games in Atlanta, playing special teams. He was a quarterback early in his college career before converting to wide receiver. NFL interest will be scant. Apr 22 |
| 8 | David Nelson Out of FBJets released WR David Nelson. Nelson became expendable after the Jets gave up a conditional pick to acquire Percy Harvin. Nelson played in 6-of-7 games for the Jets this season while nursing a lingering ankle injury, recording eight receptions for 65 yards. Oct 18 |
| 9 | Greg Little Out of FBBengals released WR Greg Little. Little was only owed $745,000 and is not yet 26 years old, but he showed so little during his 2014 stint with the Bengals that they didn't so much as deem him worth carrying into the offseason. Little is a 2011 second-round bust. Feb 27 |
| 10 | A.J. Jenkins |
| 11 | Aaron Mellette Out of FBRavens waived/failed physical WR Aaron Mellette and OLB Adrian Hamilton. Mellette was a 2013 seventh-round pick who spent his entire rookie season on injured reserve with torn knee cartilage. As recently as last month, it'd been reported that Mellette was still dealing with persistent knee issues. His career may be on the brink before it even got off the ground. Hamilton underwent wrist surgery last summer. He had 20.5 sacks for Prairie View A&M in 2011. Jun 17 |
| 12 | Robert Gill |
| 13 | Darius Hanks |
| 14 | Kealoha Pilares Out of FBPanthers WR/KR Kealoha Pilares suffered a torn ACL in Thursday night's preseason game against the Ravens and is done for the season. The Panthers waived/injured Pilares on Saturday, and he'll spend the season on injured reserve. He was competing for a roster spot before getting hurt. Aug 24 |
| 15 | Brandon Banks Out of FBThe Redskins will not tender restricted free agent WR/KR Brandon Banks a contract, making him an unrestricted free agent. Per beat writer Rich Campbell, Banks is "not expected to return." The pint-sized returner narrowly made the roster last summer, and was stripped of return duties down the stretch. Banks has game-breaking potential on special teams, but will have a rough go of it in free agency. He doesn't help at all on offense. Mar 11 |
| 16 | Donald Jones Out of FBRetired WR Donald Jones underwent a kidney transplant in December, and is now playing baseball for the Atlantic League's Somerset (N.J.) Patriots. Still only 26, Jones' kidney issues forced his retirement last August. It appears it will be permanent. Jones finished his football career with 82 catches for 887 yards and six touchdowns across 35 games. Apr 17 |
| 17 | Raymond Radway Out of FBThe Cowboys worked out WR Raymond Radway on Friday. Radway was in Cowboys training camp but was released August 27. The Cowboys have one roster spot to fill, and worked out cornerback Bryan McCann on Thursday. Radway might be seen as someone the team can possibly bring back down the line in case of an injury to a wide receiver. Oct 6 |
| 18 | Eric Page Out of FBBucs re-signed exclusive rights free agent WR Eric Page to a one-year contract. Page was active for every game last season, bringing back 23 punts for 251 yards and 22 kickoffs for 548 yards. He caught just four passes for 68 yards. Mar 11 |
| 19 | Chris Givens Out of FBSaints waived WR Chris Givens. The NFL's second best Chris Givens, Givens spent 2013 on injured reserve, and has never appeared in a regular-season game. Now 25, the odds are growing slimmer he ever will. May 27 |
| 20 | Earl Bennett Out of FBBrowns released WR Earl Bennett. He lasted 33 days in Cleveland. The fact Bennett is getting cut loose at this stage of the offseason by a team with perhaps the league's thinnest receiver corps is a terrible sign for his NFL future. That being said, Bennett should latch on elsewhere as a camp body after catching 32 passes for the Bears last year. Jun 17 |
| 21 | Jordan Shipley Out of FBFormer Bengals WR Jordan Shipley announced his retirement from the NFL in January. Shipley, a 2010 third-round pick of the Bengals, posted a promising 52/600/3 line as a rookie. But he tore his ACL, MCL and meniscus two games into the 2011 season and never recovered, getting released in 2012 training camp. Shipley has signed on with the Outdoor Channel as an occasional host of hunting shows. Feb 19 |
| 22 | Mohamed Massaquoi Out of FBDolphins are working out free agent receivers Mohamed Massaquoi, Mike Thomas and Matt Willis Tuesday. Miami is looking for some receiver depth after losing Brandon Gibson to a season-ending knee injury. Rishard Matthews is the next man up in terms of in-house candidates. Oct 29 |
| 23 | Micheal Spurlock Out of FBBears released WR Micheal Spurlock. Spurlock played 24 snaps in Sunday's loss to the Bills, including 15 on offense. Now 31, he could return later in the season. Sep 9 |
| 24 | Steve Breaston Out of FBSaints released WR Steve Breaston. At age 30, Breaston must have nothing left in the tank after several knee injuries the past five seasons. He couldn't beat out rookie Kenny Stills or second-year WR Nick Toon behind Lance Moore and Marques Colston. Aug 19 |
| 25 | Donte' Stallworth Out of FBFormer NFL WR Donte' Stallworth is serving as a coaching intern at Ravens training camp. This appears to be it for Stallworth, who failed to make the Redskins last fall and is now 33 years old. Infamously dubbed "The Human Hamstring Pull" for his litany of hammy injuries, Stallworth finished his ten-year career with a 15.1 YPR average on 321 receptions and 35 touchdowns. His best season (70/945/7) came in 2005 with Jim Haslett's Saints, when Stallworth finished as the No. 21 fantasy wideout. Sean Payton traded him away the following offseason. Jul 31 |
| 26 | Michael Jenkins Out of FBPatriots released WR Mike Jenkins. The Patriots gave Jenkins a chance to run with the first-team offense throughout the offseason program. Predictably, Molasses Mike failed to distinguish himself. So when training camp opened, he found himself behind Kenbrell Thompkins and Aaron Dobson at the "X" position, and then continued to tumble behind the likes of Josh Boyce and Julian Edelman. The 31-year-old Jenkins is going to find a soft market. Aug 15 |
| 27 | David Ball Out of FBJets waived WR David Ball, G Jacob Bender, WR Larry Brackins, CB Rudy Burgess, OL Stanley Daniels, OL Kyle DeVan, OL Nate Garner, S James Ihedigbo, DE Bryan Mattison, G Matt McChesney, and LB Blair Phillips. Ball was prolific at New Hampshire, but may be too slow to run with the big boys. It appears David Clowney (collarbone) will stay on the roster. Aug 30 |
| 28 | Devin Aromashodu Out of FBFree agent WR Devin Aromashodu worked out for the Lions. Aromashodu was cut by the Bears earlier this week. Aromashodu still has some deep speed, but caught just 11 passes in 15 games for the Vikings last season. If he signs with the Lions, it will likely be after Week 1. Aug 31 |
| 29 | David Reed Out of FB49ers signed WR David Reed, WR DeMarco Sampson and DT Christian Tupou to reserve/future contracts. Reed spent 2010-12 on the fringe of the Ravens' roster, catching five passes in 29 games. This season, he appeared in seven games for the Colts, making one catch. Sampson had a 2011 cup of coffee with the Cardinals, while injures along the Bears' defensive line forced Tupou into five games this season. Jan 14 |
| 30 | Jarett Dillard Out of FBCardinals released WR Jarett Dillard with an injury settlement. A fifth-round pick in the 2009 draft, Dillard has spent his career bouncing around the league and nursing injuries. He's now an unrestricted free agent. Aug 24 |
| 31 | Dezmon Briscoe Out of FBCowboys signed WR Dezmon Briscoe. The 2010 sixth-rounder hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since 2010. He'll be a camp body, one lucky to survive until final cuts. Jul 21 |
| 32 | Tim Toone Out of FBSaints waived WR Tim Toone, LB Eric Martin and DB Akwasi Owusu-Ansah. Toone was signed as a camp body in late July. An undrafted free agent, Martin turned heads in practice before failing to impress once the game pads went on. Owusu-Ansah has reached journeyman status. Aug 27 |
| 33 | Jeff Fuller Out of FBDolphins waived WR Jeff Fuller, LB David Hinds, DE Emeka Onyenekwu, WR Andrell Smith and LB Nathan Williams. Fuller has now failed to latch on in back-to-back camps despite the presence of his college quarterback and coach. He has NFL size at 6-foot-4, 223 pounds, but can't separate from professional defensive backs. Aug 27 |
| 34 | Duke Calhoun Out of FBRaiders WR Duke Calhoun and LB Mario Kurn are both done for the season with torn right ACLs. Calhoun is a former undrafted free agent out of Memphis. Kurn went undrafted this year out of the University of San Diego, where Jim Harbaugh once coached. Aug 13 |
| 35 | Isaiah Williams |
| 36 | David Douglas Out of FBBucs signed WR David Douglas. An undrafted free agent out of Arizona, Douglas was on the Giants' practice squad. He caught just one pass during the preseason. His stay on the Bucs' active roster is unlikely to be long. Nov 21 |
| 37 | Dale Moss Out of FBBears signed WR Dale Moss. A UDFA out of South Dakota State in 2012, Moss has never appeared in an NFL game. The former basketball player is likely just a camp body. Jul 29 |
| 38 | Brandon Collins Out of FBNFL suspended Giants WR Brandon Collins four games for violating the league's substance abuse policy. Assuming he had any in the first place, the ban may torpedo Collins' chances of making the Giants' final 53. A second-year UDFA out of Southeastern Louisiana, Collins spent his rookie year on the practice squad. He drew praise from OC Kevin Gilbride during 2012 OTAs, but was never called up to the active roster. Jun 24 |
| 39 | Tray Session |
| 40 | Lanear Sampson Out of FBColts signed Baylor WR Lanear Sampson. Sampson (5-foot-11 1/8, 204) was Baylor's No. 3 receiver as a senior, behind Terrance Williams and junior Tevin Reese. He racked up 52 catches for 646 yards (12.4 YPR) and six touchdowns. Sampson ran a 4.46 forty at the Combine with a blazing 1.51 ten-yard split. His only real negative is route running, which is coachable. Sampson will compete for a roster spot in a deep Colts receiver corps. Apr 27 |
| 41 | Alec Lemon Out of FBTexans placed WR Alec Lemon, WR Mike Smith, and DL David Hunter on injured reserve, ending their seasons. Lemon flashed in the preseason as a receiver and on special teams, but went down in the third exhibition game and will be stashed in 2013 as a "redshirt" player. Lemon was Ryan Nassib's No. 1 wide receiver at Syracuse. Aug 27 |
| 42 | Lamaar Thomas Out of FBBroncos waived WR Lamaar Thomas. Thomas reportedly "caught the coaches' attention" during OTAs, but caught just three passes for 34 yards in the preseason. He'll be a candidate for the practice squad. Aug 30 |
| 43 | Dominique Croom |
| 44 | Martel Moore |
| 45 | Nicholas Edwards Out of FBCardinals waived WR Nick Edwards, QB Caleb TerBush, OL Deveric Gallington, OT Joe Caprioglio, DT Jonathan Mathis, LB Korey Jones, DT Cordian Hagans, and CB Ronnie Yell. Also placing LB Dan Giordano on PUP, the Cardinals are down to 76 players as they work to get to 75 ahead of Tuesday's deadline. Edwards was a UDFA out of Eastern Washington. This group includes no first-cuts surprises. Aug 25 |
| 46 | Charles Hawkins |
| 47 | Alex Gillett Out of FBPackers signed WR Alex Gillett, RB Orwin Smith, OT Aaron Adams, DB Antonio Dennard, C Garth Gerhart, and OG Andrew Tiller to reserve/future contracts. All six ended the season on the Packers' practice squad. Gillett is a 6-foot-1, 214-pound Eastern Michigan product. Smith went undrafted out of Georgia Tech and had shoulder surgery last January. They'll participate in spring workouts. Jan 6 |
| 48 | Greg Hardin |
| 49 | Lacoltan Bester |
| 50 | Eric Thomas |
| 51 | Jaz Reynolds |
| 52 | Austin Franklin |
| 53 | Alex Neutz |
| 54 | Geraldo Boldewijn Out of FBFalcons waived WR Geraldo Boldewijn with an injury settlement. He missed the preseason finale with a hamstring injury. A native of the Netherlands who played his college ball at Boise State, "Amsterdam" had been featured on this year's Hard Knocks. He'll search for practice-squad work after catching four passes for 59 yards across three preseason games. Already 23, Boldewijn's NFL future isn't bright. Aug 30 |
| 55 | Kelsey Pope |
| 56 | Anthony McClung |
| 57 | Jordan Harris |
| 58 | Micah Hatfield |
| 59 | Weston Dressler Out of FBChiefs waived/released WR Weston Dressler, DL Jairus Campbell, G Otis Hudson, DT Jermelle Cudjo, DB Vernon Kearney, Jerron McMillian, WR Darryl Surgent, TE Adam Schiltz, WR Deon Anthony, WR Jerrell Jackson, and DB Brandon Jones. Dressler is one of the bigger names here because he's a two-time CFL all-star and had four straight 1,000-yard receiving seasons to close out his Saskatchewan Roughriders career. But at 5'8/179, he was always a longshot to make the final roster -- even in KC's poor receiving corps. Aug 25 |
| 60 | Perez Ashford |
| 61 | Rodrick Rumble |
| 62 | Jason Thompson |
| 63 | Omarius Hines |
| 64 | Gerrard Sheppard |
| 65 | Andy Cruse |
| 66 | Anthony Amos |
| 67 | R.J. Webb Out of FBPanthers waived WR R.J. Webb. Webb, 26, spent last year stashed on injured reserve and is recovering from June ACL surgery. Getting released by the wideout-needy Panthers at this stage of the offseason puts his career in serious doubt. Apr 11 |
| 68 | Andrew Helmick Out of FBRams waived WR Andrew Helmick, WR Raymond Radway, WR Demetrius Fields, TE Colby Prince, QB Tim Jenkins, K Brett Baer, CB Robert Steeples, LB Joseph Lebeau, DT Al Lapuaho, and LS Jorgen Hus. They have two more cuts to make to get the roster down to 75. C Graham Pocic was waived/injured in another one of St. Louis' first-cutdown moves. Aug 26 |
| 69 | Jerry Johnson |
| 70 | Brandon Kaufman Out of FBBills waived WR Brandon Kaufman. Kaufman attempted to convert to tight end this offseason, but never had a realistic chance at making the 53-man roster. An undrafted free agent in 2013, he spent the majority of last year on Buffalo's practice squad. May 16 |
| 71 | Marvin McNutt Out of FBPanthers waived WR Marvin McNutt, WR Kealoha Pilares, DE Alex Hall, P Jordan Gay, DL Lindey Gaydosh, LB Anthony Morales, OL Oscar Johnson, and DL Craig Roh. It's generally not a good sign for players when they are a part of first cuts. McNutt, a former Eagles draft pick, has now flamed out with Philly, Miami, and Carolina. Hall was trying to make the club as a former CFL player. Aug 24 |
| 72 | Andrew DePaola |
| 73 | James Shaw Out of FBSteelers signed WR James Shaw. Shaw was undrafted out of Jacksonville State in 2012. He spent 2013 on the Panthers' practice squad, and was most recently with the Pittsburgh Power of the Arena Football League. Aug 5 |
| 74 | Devin Goda |
| 75 | Ronald Johnson Out of FBEagles waived WR Ronald Johnson, LBs Marcus Dowtin and Ryan Rau, and CB Chris Hawkins. Johnson was drafted by the 49ers in the sixth round of the 2011 draft. He spent the 2011 campaign on Philly's practice squad, and he missed all of 2012 with a broken ankle. Rau made three tackles in four games last season. Dowtin and Hawkins have appeared in games for the Jets and Titans respectively. Apr 11 |
| 76 | Roberto Wallace Out of FBTitans signed WR Roberto Wallace, OG Casey Studdard and WR Michael Calvin to reserve/future contracts. Wallace has an intriguing 6-foot-4, 225-pound frame, but couldn't crack the Dolphins' talent-deficient receiver corps coming out of camp. He'll have a hard time breaking into Tennessee's far more crowded unit next summer. Jan 14 |
| 77 | Bobby Sewall Out of FBTitans waived WR Bobby Sewall, P/K Ricky Schmitt, and DB Pete Ittersagen. Sewall was buried on the depth chart, Schmitt was never going to beat out Rob Bironas, and Ittersagen isn't a defensive asset. That about sums it up. Aug 31 |
| 78 | Joe Adams Out of FBTexans signed WR Joe Adams. Former Panthers GM Marty Hurney used a fourth-round pick on Adams in 2012, only to see the undersized Arkansas product flame out after one season. The last note we'd heard from Adams was when he got cut by the Edmonton Eskimos in June. Aug 1 |
| 79 | Tori Gurley Out of FBBills waived/released WR Tori Gurley, K Dustin Hopkins, G J.J. Unga, C Macky MacPherson, WR Chris Summers, S JaJuan Harley, S Derek Brim, DT Damien Jacobs and P Jake Dombrowski. Once thought to be a promising prospect for the Packers, Gurley has bounced around the league for the last three years and has one career NFL catch. Harvard product Dombrowski loses out to veteran Brian Moorman. Aug 25 |
| 80 | Kevin Elliott Out of FBBills waived WR Kevin Elliott. Elliott (6-foot-3, 205) played 43 snaps across the Bills' first three preseason games, notching one catch for ten yards and dropping one of his other two targets. He tore his ACL last season, but was a fringe talent to begin with. Aug 19 |
| 81 | Jared Green |
| 82 | Mike Willie Out of FBRavens signed WR Mike Willie. Willie (6-foot-2, 220) just turned 24 earlier this week and has zero career catches to his name. He was a standout player at training camp for the Chargers last summer but never made anything of it. Willie is a roster long shot. Jun 20 |
| 83 | Michael Calvin |
| 84 | Taveon Rogers |
| 85 | Terrence Austin Out of FBRedskins waived WR Terrence Austin. A seventh-round pick out of UCLA in 2010, Austin made 15 catches for 184 yards in 18 appearances. The 5'11/175 speedster will try to latch on as a slot man and potential returner elsewhere. Aug 31 |
| 86 | Deon Butler Out of FBChargers signed WRs Deon Butler and Dan DePalma, and DB Cornelius Brown. They're offseason depth. The 91st pick in the 2009 draft, Butler has the most notable name as a former Penn State Nittany Lion who ran 4.32 at the Combine. He only has 57 receptions for 611 yards (10.7 YPR) and four scores across three NFL seasons and was not tendered as a restricted free agent by Seattle. Apr 8 |
| 87 | Darius Reynaud Out of FBBears signed KR/RB Darius Reynaud. After the Bears released KR Eric Weems last week, they needed a new one. While Reynaud's position is listed as running back, he won't be in the mix to see carries behind Matt Forte. Reynaud averaged 23.9 yards per kick return last season in nine games with the Titans and Jets. He'll compete for the job. Aug 18 |
| 88 | Early Doucet |
| 89 | Patrick Crayton Out of FBSaints released WR Patrick Crayton. The 34-year-old lasted only one week on the roster. Aug 19 |
| WR3 | 1 | Nate Burleson |
| 2 | Jabar Gaffney |
| 3 | Santonio Holmes |
| 4 | Laurent Robinson |
| 5 | Davone Bess |
| 6 | Harry Douglas |
| 7 | Brian Hartline |
| 8 | Brandon Gibson |
| 9 | A.J. Jenkins |
| TE | 1 | Randy McMichael |
| 2 | Anthony Fasano |
| 3 | Leonard Pope Out of FBBears signed TE Leonard Pope, formerly of the Steelers. Pope, 30, adds experience behind Martellus Bennett, where the Bears were lacking with Fendi Onobun, Kyle Adams, and Steve Maneri rounding out the depth chart. Pope had three catches in Pittsburgh last year. He's a blocker. Aug 2 |
| 4 | Tony Scheffler Out of FBFree agent TE Tony Scheffler worked out for the Redskins on Tuesday. Scheffler "retired" in June, but apparently remains open to playing. His workout is a sign the Redskins are worried about Jordan Reed's (hamstring) status for Week 2. Now 31, Scheffler was a mistake-prone mess before earning his release from the Lions last season. Sep 9 |
| 5 | David Thomas |
| 6 | Kevin Boss Out of FBFree agent TE Kevin Boss (concussions) hasn't been medically cleared to play. Boss, 29, has suffered at least four serious concussions since entering the league in 2007, and his latest came in Week 2 last season. Once a promising red-zone threat with the Giants, Boss' career has gone off the tracks. Fox Sports' Mike Garafolo reports Boss hasn't retired, but won't play again. Aug 18 |
| 7 | Aaron Hernandez Out of FBEx-Patriots TE Aaron Hernandez pleaded not guilty to seven charges at his Wednesday arraignment on two counts of first-degree murder. The arraignment took place in Suffolk Superior Court. Hernandez is charged with the shooting deaths of Daniel de Abreu and Safiro Furtado in July of 2012. This is separate from Hernandez's first-degree murder charge for allegedly causing the death of Odin Lloyd in 2013. From everything we've read, the evidence in both cases is pretty overwhelmingly in the prosecution's favor. May 28 |
| 8 | Adam Nissley Out of FBFalcons waived TE Adam Nissley and CB Saeed Lee. A third-year undrafted free agent, Nissley has never appeared in an NFL game. The same is true of Lee, who was inked as a rookie free agent last May. Both players are likely near the end of the line. Apr 15 |
| 9 | Danny Noble Out of FBJaguars waived TE Danny Noble and OL Stephane Milhim. Milhim was a reserve guard out of UMass. Noble caught a 62-yard touchdown pass in Week 11 against Arizona last season, but only had one other reception. May 2 |
| 10 | Jamie Childers Out of FBGiants signed TE Jamie Childers, CB Buddy Jackson, and K/P Jake Rogers to reserve/future contracts. None of the three have ever appeared in an NFL game and are extreme long shots to make the 53-man roster. Jan 25 |
| 11 | Steve Watson Out of FBRavens waived TE Steve Watson. Watson, 25 next week, signed a reserve/future contract in January. Apr 29 |
| 12 | Tommy Gallarda Out of FBFalcons released TE Tommy Gallarda with an injury settlement. They replaced him on the roster with onetime Chiefs TE Tim Biere. 25-year-old Gallarda played his college ball at Boise State. He was on the bubble. Aug 4 |
| 13 | D.J. Williams Out of FBBucs signed TE D.J. Williams and TE Cameron Brate. WR Marcus Thigpen has been waived. The fact that the Bucs have signed two tight ends can't be considered a good sign for Austin Seferian-Jenkins' (back) Week 13 status. Williams appeared in nine games between the Patriots and Jaguars last season, catching zero passes. Nov 25 |
| 14 | Sean McGrath Out of FBChiefs TE Sean McGrath has decided to retire from the NFL. After latching on with Seattle as an undrafted free agent in 2012, McGrath played 16 games for the Chiefs last season, notching 26 catches for 302 yards and two touchdowns. At only 26 and not dealing with any reported injuries, it appears McGrath's heart was no longer in football. Jul 26 |
| 15 | Andrew Szczerba |
| 16 | James Casey |
| 17 | Daniel Graham Out of FBFree agent TE Daniel Graham has retired. Graham, 34, is reportedly "content" and has no plans to come out of retirement. He appeared in six games for the Saints last season, but caught zero passes and was released in November. Graham spent his first five -- and most productive -- seasons with the Patriots. The former first-rounder finishes his career with 224 catches for 2,490 yards and 25 touchdowns across 11 seasons. Aug 18 |
| 18 | Billy Bajema Out of FBRavens re-signed TE Billy Bajema. Since the start of training camp, Bajema has been cut three times. He's been re-signed within three days each time and has been active for all five games this season. Bajema is a third tight end and blocking specialist. Oct 10 |
| 19 | Evan Wilson |
| 20 | Jacob Pedersen Out of FBFalcons signed Wisconsin TE Jacob Pedersen. Pederson (6-foot-3 1/2, 238) was a diminutive tight end for the Badgers, finishing his career with 33 starts, 104 catches for 1,394 yards (13.4 YPR), and 17 touchdowns. He ran a sluggish 4.89 forty at the Combine with a lineman-like 28 1/2-inch vertical. Peterson lacks athleticism to make a significant passing-game impact even for a tight end needy team like the Falcons, and he lacks the size to block linebackers or defensive ends. A very low-ceiling prospect, he'll have to make his NFL living on special teams. May 11 |
| 21 | D.J. Tialavea |
| 22 | Justin Jones |
| 23 | Asa Watson Out of FBCowboys signed TE Asa Watson, formerly of the Patriots. Watson is an undrafted rookie out of North Carolina State. He'll be a long shot to make the roster in Dallas, where the club has a deep tight end corps. Aug 13 |
| 24 | Joel Dreessen |
| 25 | Ben Hartsock Out of FBPatriots released TE Ben Hartsock. They determined quickly that Hartsock had nothing left at age 34. He lasted three days on the team. The Pats will move forward with Steve Maneri as an in-line blocker option behind Rob Gronkowski, Mike Hoomanawanui, and D.J. Williams. Aug 14 |
| 26 | Visanthe Shiancoe Out of FBTitans waived TE Visanthe Shiancoe. C Kevin Matthews was re-signed in a corresponding roster move. Shiancoe's release is an indication Delanie Walker (concussion) will be ready for Week 15. Shiancoe played 27 snaps in Sunday's loss to the Broncos. Going on 33, Shiancoe is near the end of the line. Dec 10 |
| 27 | Cameron Morrah Out of FBLions waived TEs Cameron Morrah and Matt Veldman and WR Terrence Austin. And the Lions are officially at 75 players. Morrah and Veldman were just camp bodies at tight end, never standing a real chance at making the team. Aug 27 |
| 28 | Tom Crabtree Out of FBSaints re-signed TE Tom Crabtree. He's taking the roster spot of suspended WR Joe Morgan. Crabtree spent 11 days with the Saints earlier this month. It's possible his second stay could be just as short. Oct 28 |
| 29 | Brody Eldridge Out of FBBears waived TE Brody Eldridge. A Leonard Pope signing may be forthcoming. A guard at Oklahoma, Eldridge has been a blocking-only tight end through three seasons in the NFL. Aug 2 |
| 30 | Nate Byham Out of FBPatriots waived TE Nate Byham. He lasted four days on the 90-man roster. Jul 25 |
| 31 | Dedrick Epps Out of FBJets waived/injured TE Dedrick Epps. He'll clear waivers and go on injured reserve. Epps, 24, made the Jets' roster as a former seventh-round pick out of Miami. He had one catch for nine yards. Oct 1 |
| 32 | Martin Rucker Out of FBChiefs placed TE Martin Rucker on injured reserve with a torn ACL, ending his season. Rucker tore the ACL on June 1 and will have surgery "later this week." A fourth-round pick out of Missouri in 2008, Rucker has amassed two career catches. Jun 13 |
| 33 | Dan Gronkowski Out of FBBrowns waived TE Dan Gronkowski. Rob's younger brother will continue to bounce around the league. Aug 30 |
| 34 | Nelson Rosario Out of FBPanthers signed TE Nelson Rosario, WR Lamont Bryant, and DB Nick Hixson to reserve/future contracts. None of the three have ever appeared in an NFL game. Rosario is the most notable but is of no relation to former Panther TE Dante Rosario. The future deals will lock them into Carolina's offseason program and give them a shot -- albeit a long one -- to earn a roster spot in training camp. Jan 3 |
| 35 | Jake Byrne Out of FBTexans signed TE Jake Byrne off the Chargers practice squad. Yet another tight end out of Wisconsin, Byrne will step in as the Texans No. 3 TE behind Garrett Graham and Ryan Griffin. He was on the Texans practice squad during the playoffs last year. Oct 9 |
| 36 | Weslye Saunders Out of FBColts waived TE Weslye Saunders. OT Andrew McDonald was signed in a corresponding roster move. Saunders' release is a sign Dwayne Allen (ankle) will be back for Week 14. Dec 2 |
| 37 | Hayden Smith Out of FBJets waived TE Hayden Smith. It was the final cut the Jets had to make to get down to the required 75 players by Tuesday afternoon. Smith reportedly was shining in OTAs without the pads on. That ended quickly once contact practices started up. Aug 26 |
| 38 | Zach Potter Out of FBTexans signed TE Zach Potter. Potter is a 6-foot-7, 270-pound blocking tight end who has 11 catches in 45 games. He was out of the league in 2013 after playing four seasons with the Jaguars. Feb 26 |
| 39 | Colin Cloherty Out of FBFalcons waived TEs Colin Cloherty and Tim Biere, FB DeVonte Campbell, LB Nick Clancy, QB Seth Doege, DEs Cam Henderson and Brandon Thurmond, OT Jeff Nady, RB Donald Russell, S Troy Sanders, and C Matt Smith. Nothing especially notable here. Clancy replaced Luke Kuechly as Boston College's starting Mike 'backer last year. He's not nearly as good as Kuechly. Aug 25 |
| 40 | Jeron Mastrud Out of FBRaiders TE Jeron Mastrud is expected to start Week 1 if David Ausberry (shoulder) can't go. Mastrud is a blocker that beat out Richard Gordon for a roster spot. The Raiders shouldn't be done trying to dig up veteran tight end help to play ahead of raw rookies Mychal Rivera and Nick Kasa. Sep 2 |
| 41 | Steve Maneri Out of FBPatriots signed TEs Steve Maneri and Terrence Miller. 26-year-old Maneri figures to fight with Ben Hartsock for one roster spot in New England. Like Hartsock, Maneri is strictly a blocking tight end. Aug 10 |
| 42 | Dominique Curry Out of FBLions waived WR/TE Dominique Curry. A special teamer, Curry was attempting to make the switch from wide receiver to tight end. Curry goes to create roster room for TE Matt Veldman. Jun 17 |
| 43 | Matt Furstenburg Out of FBRavens waived TE Matt Furstenburg, DL Cody Larsen, and LB D.J. Bryant, and signed TE Phillip Supernaw and OG Will Rackley. Furstenburg was a slightly hyped 2013 UDFA out of Maryland. We suspect he'll generate some interest on waivers, but OC Gary Kubiak is going with Supernaw instead after having him in Houston. Rackley was a 2011 third-round pick by the Jaguars. He'll compete for a roster spot as an interior reserve. May 19 |
| 44 | Ben Cotton |
| 45 | David Rolf |
| 46 | Joe Sawyer Out of FBBills signed TE Joe Sawyer and DB Dominique Ellis to reserve/future contracts. Both failed to crack a 53-man roster as undrafted rookies in 2012. Neither is likely to do so in 2013. Jan 16 |
| 47 | Emmanuel Ogbuehi |
| 48 | Jason Schepler |
| 49 | Chase Clement |
| 50 | A.C. Leonard Out of FBVikings waived TE A.C. Leonard. Leonard was signed as an intriguing UDFA following May's draft. He's an athletic tight end who was a four-star recruit to Florida before off-field issues sent him to Tennessee State. Leonard left practice early last week with a "headache" and didn't return before getting his walking papers Wednesday. Aug 6 |
| 51 | Joe Don Duncan |
| 52 | Evan Landi Out of FBPatriots waived TE Evan Landi and DT Anthony Rashad White. Landi, an undrafted rookie out of South Florida, was just a camp body. Zach Sudfeld, Daniel Fells, Michael Hoomanawanui and Jake Ballard are locked in as the Pats' top-four tight ends until Rob Gronkowski (back) returns. Aug 27 |
| 53 | Taylor Cook |
| 54 | Colin Anderson |
| 55 | Travis Tannahill |
| 56 | Cameron Graham |
| 57 | Michael Higgins Out of FBSaints re-signed exclusive rights free agent TE Michael Higgins and G/C Eric Olsen to one-year, $555,000 contracts. Higgins appeared in two games in 2012 after being promoted from the practice squad in Week 13, catching one pass. Olsen played in all 16 games and started four at right guard. They're pure depth players. Feb 14 |
| 58 | Alex Silvestro Out of FBRavens signed TE Alex Silvestro, LBs D.J. Bryant and Nigel Carr, and OGs Jack Cornell and Antoine McClain. Silvestro is the only one with NFL experience, playing in one game for the 2011 Patriots. Carr was a top prep recruit back when he went to Florida State, but a 2010 felony arrest on burglary and fraud charges sent him to Alabama State. He was an early standout last offseason. All five players ended the season on the practice squad. Feb 6 |
| 59 | Andre Hardy Out of FBFormer Raiders TE Andre Hardy participated at the San Jose State Pro Day and ran forty times of 4.78 and 4.81. He weighed in at 6-foot-4 3/4, 253. A basketball player at Cal State Fullerton, Hardy lasted just one month on Oakland's offseason roster last year. Hardy is trying to keep himself on the NFL radar, but he's an obvious long shot. Apr 5 |
| 60 | Martell Webb |
| 61 | Tim Biere |
| 62 | Evan Moore |
| 63 | Jamie McCoy Out of FBRams waived TE/FB Jamie McCoy, CB Marcus Brown, and OL Joe Gibbs. All three have practice squad eligibility, though the Rams' decision to give up on them before final cuts doesn't bode well. McCoy was a tight end at Texas A&M, but the Rams had been giving the 242-pounder a look at fullback. Aug 29 |
| 64 | Nathan Overbay Out of FBRavens waived/released TE Nathan Overbay, LB D.J. Roberts, C Reggie Stephens, DT Levi Brown and DT Derrick Hopkins. Overbay has been bouncing around practice squads since 2010, but has never appeared in a regular-season game. It's amazing he's lasted on the NFL fringe as long as he has. Aug 29 |
| 65 | Travis Beckum Out of FBSaints released TE Travis Beckum. Beckum lasted just 12 days on the roster. The former No. 100 overall pick of the Giants has become an end-of-the-roster journeyman at this stage of his career. Aug 25 |
| 66 | Richard Quinn Out of FBTE Richard Quinn has decided to retire. After a week of camp with the Saints, Quinn realized his heart wasn't in it anymore. He appeared in four games during his NFL career, catching one pass for nine yards while with the Broncos in 2010. Aug 13 |
| 67 | Jake O'Connell Out of FBBroncos signed TE Jake O'Connell, formerly of the Chiefs. No. 5 tight end Lucas Reed recently went down with an injury, so O'Connell will take his place as a camp body. He was a 2009 seventh-round pick. Jul 27 |
| 68 | Isaiah Stanback Out of FBJaguars released TE Isaiah Stanback and waived RB De'Leon Eskridge. A 2007 fourth-rounder, Stanback has appeared in just two games since 2009. Eskridge was an undrafted free agent. Aug 27 |
| 69 | Brian Wozniak |
| 70 | David Wright |
| 71 | Morrell Presley |
| K | 1 | Maikon Bonani Out of FBTitans released K Maikon Bonani. Bonani was competing with undrafted rookie Travis Coons for the starting kicking job in Tennessee. Coons appears to have won the job, but it is possible the Titans will bring in a veteran option after final cuts. Even if he remains the Titans' kicker, Coons is not a recommended option for fantasy. Aug 30 |
| 2 | Nate Freese Out of FBLions waived K Nate Freese. Freese, a seventh-round rookie, has gone 3-of-7 on field goals so far. This comes after going 20-of-20 at Boston College last year. He'll be replaced by Alex Henery, who lost his job in Philly to Cody Parkey. Sep 22 |
| 3 | Billy Cundiff Out of FBBrowns released K Billy Cundiff (knee) with an injury settlement. Cundiff hurt his right, kicking knee in practice on Thursday, but the injury was just a convenient excuse to move on from the struggling kicker. Newly-signed Garrett Hartley will take over the kicking duties for Cleveland. Dec 13 |
| 4 | Rob Bironas Out of FBFormer Titans K Rob Bironas was killed in a single-vehicle car accident Saturday night in Nashville. He lost control of his SUV while traveling at a high rate of speed, before crashing into several trees and ending up upside down in a culvert pipe ditch. Bironas, 36, was the Titans' kicker the previous nine seasons before being released in March. He recently worked out for the Bucs and Lions. Bironas was a first-team All-Pro in 2007 and had an 85.7 percent career success rate on field goals. Sep 21 |
| 5 | Alex Henery Out of FBLions waived K Alex Henery. Henery missed three field goals in a last-second loss to the Bills Sunday. His confidence has been rattled for some time now, leading to him getting cut by the Eagles following the preseason. The Lions will host a bunch of kickers on Tuesday, a workout that should include experienced vets Matt Prater and Jay Feely. Oct 6 |
| 6 | Matt Szymanski Out of FBChiefs waived K Matt Szymanski. Szymanski was signed to a two-year reserve/future contract in December. Getting cut at this stage of the offseason doesn't bode well for his NFL future. Mar 28 |

| 8 | Brandon Bogotay Out of FBFree agent K Brandon Bogotay will work out for the Dolphins Sunday. A 2011 undrafted free agent, Bogotay was waived by the Browns in April.

| 9 | Havard Rugland Out of FBFree agent K Havard Rugland worked out for the Packers on Friday. Rugland was cut by the Lions on Tuesday and went through waivers unclaimed. Despite converting just 21-of-33 (58.8 percent) field-goal attempts last year, Mason Crosby is the favorite to be Green Bay's Week 1 kicker after agreeing to a restructured contract. Aug 30 |
