Cowboys re-signed WR Anthony Armstrong.
The Cowboys dumped Armstrong last week in a salary cap move, but quickly get him back in the fold following a Tuesday visit with the Giants. He has a decent chance to crack the roster as a situational deep threat. Although Armstrong had just three catches in five games for the Dolphins last year, he posted a 44/871/3 line with the Redskins as a rookie in 2010. Apr 3 - 10:37 AM

Date:

Free agent WR Anthony Armstrong is visiting the Giants Tuesday.

Armstrong was a diamond in the rough as an undrafted rookie out of West Texas A&M, racking up a 44/871/3 line for the Redskins in 2010. But in the two seasons since then, he's totaled 10 catches in 19 games for the 'Skins and Dolphins. The Giants wouldn't view him as anything more than a situational deep threat.
Apr 2 - 12:34 PM

Cowboys released WR Anthony Armstrong.

Jerry Jones and company needed to free up a roster spot after signing Justin Durant and Will Allen. The move also clears $630,000 in cap space. Armstrong was released by three different teams last season, and caught just three passes in six games. He'll have to fight to survive first cuts in camp wherever he ends up.
Mar 27 - 1:48 PM

Cowboys signed WRs Anthony Armstrong, Jared Green, and Carlton Mitchell, TE Colin Cochart, OG Ray Dominguez, LS Charley Hughlett, OLB Cameron Sheffield, and OT Aderious Simmons to reserve/future contracts.

Dallas has been the NFL's most aggressive team when it comes to future signings so far. Armstrong has experience in the league with Miami and Washington. Sheffield is a former Chiefs draft pick. Dominguez has spent time in Green Bay.
Jan 7 - 2:06 PM

Cowboys waived WR Anthony Armstrong.

Armstrong was signed in Week 13 to add depth to a wide receiver corps that was banged up at the time. He did not play a single snap for the Cowboys. The move made room for G Ron Leary, who was signed off the practice squad.

Cowboys signed WR Anthony Armstrong.

With Miles Austin (hip, hamstring) and Kevin Ogletree (concussion) in doubt for Week 13, the Cowboys are scraping for depth. Armstrong has already spent time with the Redskins, Dolphins and Jags this season. He'll slide in behind the likes of Dwayne Harris and Cole Beasley.

The Cowboys are considering signing free agent WR Anthony Armstrong.

Armstrong worked out for the Cowboys on Tuesday and could be added to the active roster. His chances of being signed are increased with Miles Austin (hip) injured and Andre Holmes released.

Jaguars waived WR Anthony Armstrong.

Armstrong lasts just two weeks on the roster. He was behind the likes of Kevin Elliot and Michael Spurlock on the receiver depth chart.

Jaguars claimed WR Anthony Armstrong off waivers from the Dolphins.

Armstrong will take Mike Thomas' roster spot, and perhaps his role on offense. Limited to just three catches in five games in Miami, Armstrong will make similarly little impact in Jacksonville.

Dolphins released WR Anthony Armstrong.

Jabar Gaffney is growing established as the third receiver, playing more snaps than Marlon Moore for the first time in Week 8. Armstrong is no longer needed for depth.
Tue, Oct 30, 2012 04:19:00 PM

OC Mike Sherman confirmed that the Dolphins remain in the market for wideout help.

Adding Anthony Armstrong and working out Jabar Gaffney isn't enough. "It's a work in progress and will continue to be until we have solved that problem," Sherman said. "I wouldn't say it's been solved. We're working toward it. It’s got to be better for us to be successful." Armstrong projects as a mere situational deep threat for Ryan Tannehill.

Dolphins claimed WR Anthony Armstrong off waivers from the Redskins.

Just two years removed from a 44/871/3 season, Armstrong should instantly find himself near the top of Miami's pathetic receiver corps, but we're not drafting any Dolphins' pass-catchers for the time being.
Sat, Sep 1, 2012 03:23:00 PM

Redskins waived or released WR Anthony Armstrong, TE Richard Quinn, RB Dorson Boyce and LB Bryan Kehl.

Armstrong's chances of holding his roster spot were killed by a shoulder injury that held him out for over two weeks of camp. The Redskins were hoping to find a trade partner for Kehl before releasing him. He'll have a decent chance of latching on elsewhere after appearing in 14 games for the Rams each of the past two seasons.

Redskins WR Anthony Armstrong (shoulder) has returned to practice, and is expected to play in Saturday's preseason game.

Armstrong had been limited since August 2, and missed Washington's exhibition opener. Returning at this stage gives Armstrong a shot at keeping his roster spot, but he's on the bubble in Washington's crowded receiver corps. Even if he makes the team, he'll be off the radar in all formats of fantasy.

Redskins WR Anthony Armstrong is sidelined with a shoulder injury.

Armstrong is dealing with a second-degree separation of the AC joint. Coach Mike Shanahan believes Armstrong could "return soon," but fighting to keep his roster spot, Armstrong can ill-afford any missed time.
