| Pos | Role | Name |
| QB | 1 | Kyle Orton |
| 2 | Josh Freeman |
| 3 | B.J. Coleman  Out of FBPackers waived QB B.J. Coleman. Coleman went 14-of-34 (41.2 percent) for 128 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the preseason. He was still expected to serve as Aaron Rodgers' backup following the release of Vince Young. Now the Packers only have newly acquired practice-squad quarterback Scott Tolzien behind Rodgers. GM Ted Thompson has something up his sleeve. Sep 2 |
| 4 | Dominique Davis Out of FBFalcons waived QB Dominique Davis. Matt Ryan's backup last season, the 2012 undrafted free agent attempted seven passes in mop-up duty. Davis was made expendable following the Falcons' acquisition of T.J. Yates. He should latch on elsewhere as a camp arm. Jun 19 |
| 5 | David Carr |
| 6 | 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 |
| 7 | John Skelton Out of FBTitans waived QB John Skelton. The move clears a roster spot for rookie Tyler Wilson, who was signed on Monday. It's the third time Skelton has been released since August. The fact that Skelton made 17 starts for the Cardinals between 2010-12 tells you a lot about how dire things were on offense in the desert before GM Steve Keim and coach Bruce Arians arrived. Dec 17 |
| 8 | 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 |
| 9 | Vince Young Out of FBFree agent QB Vince Young has announced his retirement from the NFL. "I'm retired," Young said. "Unless we get a great opportunity, something guaranteed, I've started moving forward. It's definitely official, in my book." Young briefly signed with the Browns last month, but was released prior to minicamp. He hasn't appeared in an NFL game since 2011. Young went 31-19 in six years as a starter, passing for 8,964 career yards, 46 touchdowns, and 51 interceptions. He made two Pro Bowl appearances. Young, 31, said he plans to work for the University of Texas in some capacity. Jun 14 |
| 10 | Kevin Kolb |
| 11 | 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 |
| 12 | 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 |
| 13 | 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 |
| 14 | 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 |
| 15 | Nick Stephens |
| 16 | Tommy Rees |
| 17 | Ryan Katz |
| 18 | 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 |
| 19 | Kyle Padron |
| 20 | James Vandenberg |
| 21 | Mike Hermann |
| 22 | Nathan Stanley |
| 23 | Dalton Williams |
| 24 | Matt Brown |
| 25 | Caleb TerBush |
| 26 | Tim Jenkins |
| 27 | 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 |
| 28 | 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 |
| 29 | 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 |
| 30 | 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 |
| 31 | 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 |
| 32 | 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 |
| 33 | 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 |
| 34 | 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 |
| 35 | 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 |
| RB | 1 | Michael Turner |
| 2 | Michael Bush |
| 3 | Brandon Jackson Out of FBFree agent RB Brandon Jackson worked out for the Bucs. Fellow free-agent running backs Delone Carter and Darius Reynaud were also in attendance. It could be a sign the Bucs are preparing to be without Doug Martin (shoulder) the rest of the season. More than likely, Tampa is just seeing what these guys have to offer. Jackson, 28, is nearing the end. Nov 6 |
| 4 | D.J. Ware |
| 5 | 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 |
| 6 | Beanie Wells |
| 7 | Jamie Harper |
| 8 | 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 |
| 9 | 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 |
| 10 | Alvester Alexander |
| 11 | 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 |
| 12 | Isaac Redman Out of FBSteelers released RB Isaac Redman. It's a surprise only in that Redman is a familiar name. Redman has been a healthy scratch since Week 4, and that wasn't going to change with rookie Le'Veon Bell putting a stranglehold on starting duties. Going back to the start of last season, Redman has averaged just 3.52 yards over his past 120 carries. The Steelers will move forward with Felix Jones and Jon Dwyer behind Bell. Oct 21 |
| 13 | 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 |
| 14 | 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 |
| 15 | 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 |
| 16 | Jordan Roberts |
| 17 | Orwin Smith |
| 18 | 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 |
| 19 | 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 |
| 20 | 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 |
| 21 | Delone Carter |
| 22 | 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 |
| 23 | 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 |
| 24 | 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 |
| 25 | William Powell Out of FBEagles waived/failed physical RB William Powell. Powell was claimed off waivers from the Cardinals on Wednesday. He was never a realistic candidate for a roster spot with the Eagles and will look to continue his career elsewhere. Jul 26 |
| 26 | 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 |

| 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 | 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 |
| 7 | Brit Miller |
| 8 | Brad Smelley Out of FBTexans waived FB Brad Smelley. Smelley has just four NFL appearances to his name, but had been atop the Texans' depth chart late last season. It's possible he wasn't 100 percent healthy after tearing his calf in Week 16. Sixth-round rookie Jay Prosch is now the Texans' lead blocker. Jul 22 |
| 9 | 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 |
| 10 | Dorson Boyce Out of FBRedskins waived FB Dorson Boyce. Boyce missed all of 2012 with a torn labrum in his shoulder. Jun 13 |
| 11 | 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 |
| 12 | Owen Schmitt |
| 13 | 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 |
| 14 | Ben Bartholomew |
| 15 | 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 |
| 16 | James Baker |
| 17 | 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 |
| 18 | Devonte Campbell |
| 19 | 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 |
| 20 | Ryan Roberson |
| 21 | Jonathan Amosa |
| 22 | Rupert Bryan |
| 23 | Eddie Williams |
| 24 | Jon Hoese |
| 25 | 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 |
| 26 | 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 |
| 27 | Jourdan Brooks |
| 28 | 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 |

| 5 | 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 |
| 6 | Kevin Hardy |
| 7 | Keenan Davis |
| 8 | Taulib Ikharo |
| 9 | 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 |
| 10 | 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 |
| 11 | 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 |
| 12 | Lance Lewis Out of FBRedskins will sign WR Lance Lewis off their practice squad. Lewis is up as depth with Leonard Hankerson (knee) out for the season. He's a 2012 undrafted free agent out of East Carolina that battled a groin injury as a rookie. Lewis had three catches for 37 yards in the preseason. Nov 21 |
| 13 | 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 |
| 14 | 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 |
| 15 | 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 |
| 16 | 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 |
| 17 | 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 |
| 18 | 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 |
| 19 | Ramses Barden Out of FBBills released WR Ramses Barden and LB Nathan Williams. Always given chances due to his 6-foot-6 frame, Barden is now nearing the end of the line. He has a total of 29 catches and one start on his resume since the Giants took him in the third round of the 2009 draft, and has now lost his camp roster spot to Naaman Roosevelt. Jul 21 |
| 20 | 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 |
| 21 | Jeremy Kelley Out of FBColts signed WR Jeremy Kelley to a reserve/future contract. An Arena League standout, Kelley went undrafted out of small-school Maine in 2011. Kelley boasts a mammoth 6-foot-6, 223-pound frame, but is facing long odds to even survive first cuts. Jan 30 |
| 22 | 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 |
| 23 | 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 |
| 24 | Nicholas Johnson |
| 25 | Johnathan Haggerty |
| 26 | Emmanuel Arceneaux |
| 27 | 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 |
| 28 | Roy Roundtree |
| 29 | Robby Toma |
| 30 | Carlin Isles |
| 31 | Marcus Jackson |
| 32 | 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 |
| 33 | 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 |
| 34 | Chip Reeves |
| 35 | 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 |
| 36 | Jheranie Boyd |
| 37 | Eric Rogers |
| 38 | Rashaad Carter |
| 39 | Erik Highsmith |
| 40 | Demetrius Fields |
| 41 | Scott Pillar |
| 42 | 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 |
| 43 | 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 |
| 44 | 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 |
| 45 | 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 |
| 46 | 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 |
| 47 | Cole McKenzie |
| 48 | Jamal Miles |
| 49 | Rashad Evans |
| 50 | 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 |
| 51 | Mardy Gilyard |
| 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 |

| 3 | 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 |
| 4 | 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 |
| 5 | Chad Hall Out of FBChiefs waived WR Chad Hall. It's a sign the Chiefs expect Dexter McCluster (ankle) to return for Week 16. Hall, an old favorite of Andy Reid, has been doing the roster dance with Kansas City all season. Dec 19 |
| 6 | 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 |
| 7 | 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 |
| 8 | 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 |
| 9 | 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 |
| 10 | 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 |
| 11 | 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 |
| 12 | 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 |
| 13 | 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 |
| 14 | Darius Hanks |
| 15 | Aaron Mellette  SidelinedRavens 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 |
| 16 | Robert Gill |
| 17 | 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 |
| 18 | Tray Session |
| 19 | Martel Moore |
| 20 | 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 |
| 21 | 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 |
| 22 | Dominique Croom |
| 23 | Kenny Shaw |
| 24 | 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 |
| 25 | 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 |
| 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 | 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 |
| 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 | 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 |
| 32 | 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 |
| 33 | 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 |
| 34 | 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 |
| 35 | Early Doucet |
| 36 | Patrick Crayton Out of FBSaints released WR Patrick Crayton. The 34-year-old lasted only one week on the roster. Aug 19 |
| 37 | Perez Ashford |
| 38 | Alex Neutz |
| 39 | Kelsey Pope |
| 40 | Jordan Harris |
| 41 | Jason Thompson |
| 42 | Omarius Hines |
| 43 | Anthony Amos |
| 44 | 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 |
| 45 | 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 |
| 46 | Devin Goda |
| 47 | Jared Green |
| 48 | Michael Calvin |
| 49 | Taveon Rogers |
| 50 | Rodrick Rumble |
| 51 | Andrew DePaola |
| 52 | 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 |
| 53 | Jerry Johnson |
| WR3 | 1 | Jabar Gaffney |
| 2 | Laurent Robinson |
| 3 | Davone Bess |
| TE | 1 | 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 |
| 2 | 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 |
| 3 | Randy McMichael |
| 4 | 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 |
| 5 | Tony Scheffler Out of FBFree agent TE Tony Scheffler has retired from the NFL after eight seasons. Scheffler, 31, suffered three concussions the past four years and was released by the Lions in October. The No. 61 overall pick in the 2006 draft by the Broncos spent four seasons each with Denver and Detroit, catching 258 passes for 3,207 yards and 22 touchdowns. Scheffler had a decent two-year stretch from 2007-2008 when he reeled in 89 balls for 1,194 yards and eight scores for Mike Shanahan's Broncos. He caught seven passes in 2013. Jun 11 |
| 6 | David Thomas |
| 7 | 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 |
| 8 | 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 |
| 9 | 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 |
| 10 | Fendi Onobun Out of FBBears released TE Fendi Onobun. Onobun's release comes after a drop-filled minicamp. An annual t-shirt and shorts star, Onobun couldn't even make it to camp this year. Onobun's lone two regular-season receptions came all the way back in 2010 with the Rams. Jun 19 |
| 11 | 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 |
| 12 | 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 |
| 13 | Andrew Szczerba |
| 14 | Steve Watson Out of FBRavens waived TE Steve Watson. Watson, 25 next week, signed a reserve/future contract in January. Apr 29 |
| 15 | 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 |
| 16 | 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 |
| 17 | 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 |
| 18 | Joel Dreessen |
| 19 | 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 |
| 20 | 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 |
| 21 | Ben Cotton |
| 22 | David Rolf |
| 23 | 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 |
| 24 | Konrad Reuland Out of FBJets placed TE Konrad Reuland on injured reserve with a knee injury, ending his season. Reuland's lone target of the season came in Week 1. He had been playing sporadic snaps on special teams. The 2011 undrafted free agent will be an exclusive rights free agent in the offseason. Nov 19 |
| 25 | 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 |
| 26 | 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 |
| 27 | 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 |
| 28 | Dan Gronkowski Out of FBBrowns waived TE Dan Gronkowski. Rob's younger brother will continue to bounce around the league. Aug 30 |
| 29 | 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 |
| 30 | Richard Quinn Out of FBRedskins signed TE Richard Quinn, CB Ryan Mouton, DB Peyton Thompson, and P Robert Malone to reserve/futures contracts. Quinn missed the entire 2013 season after being released by the Bengals and Cardinals during final cuts. Mouton is a former third-round slot corner that spent training camp with the Redskins. All four players will participate in Washington's offseason program. Dec 31 |
| 31 | Nate Byham Out of FBPatriots waived TE Nate Byham. He lasted four days on the 90-man roster. Jul 25 |
| 32 | 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 |
| 33 | Tom Crabtree |
| 34 | 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 |
| 35 | Cameron Graham |
| 36 | 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 |
| 37 | 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 |
| 38 | Travis Beckum Out of FBFree agent TE Travis Beckum worked out for the Bears on Wednesday. Chicago also had G Thomas Austin in for the tryout. Beckum, the 100th overall pick in the 2009 draft, spent three months on the Seahawks' roster this winter, but was cut before OTAs. He hasn't been the same since tearing his ACL when the Giants won their last Super Bowl. Beckum is nearing the end of the road. Jul 23 |
| 39 | Evan Moore |
| 40 | 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 |
| 41 | Matt Veldman Out of FBLions waived/released TE Matt Veldman, DB Akwasi Owusu-Ansah, K John Potter, WR Carlin Isles, CB Nate Ness, C Sherman Carter, WR Cody Wilson and LB Jon Morgan. A third-year undrafted free agent, Veldman's lone career appearance came last Week 17. Owusu-Ansah has appeared in 15 career games, one of which came for the Lions last season. May 12 |
| 42 | Tim Biere |
| 43 | 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 |
| 44 | Taylor Cook |
| 45 | Travis Tannahill |
| 46 | Chase Clement |
| 47 | Joe Don Duncan |
| 48 | Chase Dixon |
| 49 | David Wright |
| 50 | 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 |
| K | 1 | Rob Bironas Out of FBTitans released K Rob Bironas. Bironas, 36, inked a two-year, $6.675 million deal with the Titans last spring and has spent his entire nine-year career with Tennessee. He went 25-of-29 on field goals, drilling 7-of-10 from 40-plus yards out. Bironas has an 85.7 percent success rate on field goals throughout his career. The Titans save $3.125 million. Mar 19 |
| 2 | Garrett Hartley Out of FBSaints waived K Garrett Hartley. Hartley had struggled for the better part of the season, but the Saints reached the breaking point in Sunday's loss to the Rams. Hartley shanked a 26-yard kick in domed Edward Jones Stadium, and had a 36-yard attempt blocked. Hartley was just 22-of-30 on the year, good for 30th in field-goal percentage. The Saints' full-time kicker since 2010, Hartley had gone through funks before, and been unusually injury prone for a kicker. The Saints have yet to announce his replacement. Hartley will likely resurface at some point. Dec 17 |
| 3 | 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 |
| 4 | Danny Hrapmann |
| 5 | Brandon Bogotay Out of FBBrowns waived K Brandon Bogotay. He signed a futures deal after the season but has never kicked in a regular-season game. The Browns will add another leg to compete with Billy Cundiff. Apr 28 |
| 6 | 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 |
| 7 | Austin Signor Out of FBBears waived K Austin Signor. Signor, 26, was brought in to "compete" with Robbie Gould, but he never had a real shot at the job. Gould is finally 100 percent recovered from calf surgery. Aug 2 |
| 8 | Morgan Lineberry |
| 9 | Brett Baer |
| 10 | Brett Maher |
| 11 | Jose Maltos |
| 12 | Adam Yates |
| 13 | Zach Ramirez |
| 14 | John Potter Out of FBRedskins released K John Potter. In three games subbing for Kai Forbath (groin), Potter went 3-of-4 on field goals. Forbath will be ready to go after the Week 5 bye. Oct 1 |
