| Pos | Role | Name |
| QB | 1 | Vince Young  Out of FBFree agent Vince Young hopes to find a team for the 2014 season. "I am pleased with the quick resolution of my bankruptcy case," Young said Tuesday. "With all these battles behind me, I am able to devote my sole focus on family, football and pursuing all opportunities in front of me." Young couldn't earn a roster spot in Packers camp last summer, and hasn't appeared in a regular-season game since 2011. His career is likely over. Feb 11 |
| 2 | 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 |
| 3 | 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 |
| 4 | Tim Tebow Out of FBEx-Jets GM Mike Tannenbaum said the Tim Tebow trade was his biggest mistake in New York. "Obviously we made a couple mistakes –- trading for Tim Tebow most notably," Tannenbaum told CBS Radio. It's hard to argue with Tannenbaum, who now works for NFL Network and Yahoo! Sports and also has dipped his toes in the agency business. The other colossal blunder from Tannenbaum was handing Mark Sanchez a five-year, $58.25 million extension in the same offseason. Jan 17 |
| 5 | 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 |
| 6 | Caleb Hanie Out of FBBrowns waived QB Caleb Hanie. It's a sign Brandon Weeden (concussion) will get cleared to back up Jason Campbell for Week 15. Hanie spent only one week on the Browns' active roster. Dec 10 |
| 7 | David Carr Out of FBFresno State QB Derek Carr said "there are teams thinking about" signing free agent QB David Carr if they draft Derek. "There’s so much positive things about having us both on the same team, that I don’t know why somebody wouldn’t think about it," Derek said. "And the truth is there are teams thinking about it, because they’ve been letting us know about it." The brothers have been working out with ex-Giants QBs coach Mike Sullivan to prepare Derek for the draft and try to get David back in the NFL. Mar 7 |
| 8 | Pat White Out of FBFree agent QB Pat White is leaving Buffalo to make his scheduled Tuesday workout with the Raiders. The Bills are going to roll with Thaddeus Lewis and Jeff Tuel for now. White is hoping to get a shot to land as Terrelle Pryor's backup in Oakland. Oct 7 |
| 9 | 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 |
| 10 | 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 |
| 11 | 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 |
| 12 | Ryan Katz |
| 13 | 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 |
| 14 | Kyle Padron |
| 15 | James Vandenberg |
| 16 | Mike Hermann |
| 17 | Nathan Stanley |
| 18 | Dalton Williams |
| 19 | Matt Brown |
| 20 | Caleb TerBush |
| 21 | Tim Jenkins |
| 22 | 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 |
| 23 | Collin Klein |
| 24 | 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 | Michael Turner |
| 2 | 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 |
| 3 | D.J. Ware |
| 4 | 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 |
| 5 | Beanie Wells |
| 6 | Jamie Harper |
| 7 | 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 |
| 8 | Jalen Parmele Out of FBTitans waived RB Jalen Parmele. He was a longshot behind Chris Johnson, Shonn Greene, and Jackie Battle. Aug 30 |
| 9 | 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 |
| 10 | 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 |
| 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 | 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 |
| 13 | Shaun Draughn Out of FBColts waived RB Shaun Draughn. Draughn was on the roster for four days. With Donald Brown (stinger) ready to rock Sunday against the Chiefs, Draughn was no longer needed. He heads back to the street where he's been for much of the season. Dec 21 |
| 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 | Jordan Roberts |
| 16 | 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 |
| 17 | Jawan Jamison Out of FBRedskins waived/released RB Jawan Jamison, RB Davin Meggett, and TE Richard Quinn. Jamison was the 228th pick in last April's draft but showed up to camp out of shape and didn't contribute as a rookie. Quinn is a former second-round pick of the Broncos. Meggett is the son of former Giants star, Dave. Mar 4 |
| 18 | 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 |
| 19 | Deonte Williams |
| 20 | De'Leon Eskridge |
| 21 | 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 |
| 22 | 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 |
| 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 |
| GLB | 1 | Michael Turner |
| 2 | Ryan Torain |
| 3 | Beanie Wells |
| 3RB | 1 | D.J. Ware |
| 2 | Beanie Wells |
| FB | 1 | Lousaka Polite |
| 2 | Vonta Leach |
| 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 FBBroncos released RB Jacob Hester. Signed last November, Hester took the rock 17 times in the regular season before an injury to Knowshon Moreno thrust him into a big role in Denver's Divisional Round loss. A five-year veteran, Hester will look for a job on special teams. Sep 1 |
| 6 | Brit Miller |
| 7 | Jorvorskie Lane Out of FBDolphins waived FB Jorvorskie Lane. Even with Dustin Keller (knee) out for the year and H-back Charles Clay moving into the starting tight end role, Lane can't stick. He's not a plus lead blocker. Aug 27 |
| 8 | 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 |
| 9 | Ben Bartholomew |
| 10 | Chris Pressley Out of FBBengals waived FB Chris Pressley. Pressley was stashed away on the reserve/PUP list with a knee injury. Pressley went down last Week 15, and still wasn't healthy for the start of training camp. Pressley has 43 games of NFL experience. Dec 10 |
| 11 | 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 |
| 12 | Dorson Boyce Out of FBRedskins waived FB Dorson Boyce. Boyce missed all of 2012 with a torn labrum in his shoulder. Jun 13 |
| 13 | Owen Schmitt |
| 14 | Eddie Williams |
| 15 | Jon Hoese |
| 16 | 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 |
| 17 | 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 |
| 18 | Jourdan Brooks |
| 19 | 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 |
| 20 | Ryan Roberson |
| 21 | Jonathan Amosa |
| 22 | Rupert Bryan |
| 23 | Devonte Campbell |
| 24 | 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 | Jabar Gaffney |
| 2 | Laurent Robinson |
| 3 | Titus Young |
| 4 | 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 |
| 5 | 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 |
| 6 | 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 |
| 7 | 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 |
| 8 | Kevin Hardy |
| 9 | Brian Tyms Out of FBBrowns waived WR Brian Tyms. A practice squad and special teams type, Tyms caught two passes for 12 yards while dressing in seven games for the Browns last season. Mar 5 |
| 10 | Keenan Davis |
| 11 | Taulib Ikharo |
| 12 | Roy Roundtree |
| 13 | Nicholas Johnson |
| 14 | Marcus Jackson |
| 15 | 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 |
| 16 | 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 |
| 17 | Robby Toma |
| 18 | Carlin Isles |
| 19 | David Gilreath Out of FBSteelers signed WR David Gilreath and NT Alameda Ta'amu from the team's practice squad. Gilreath had a cup of coffee with the Steelers earlier in the year, playing in three games and catching one pass for seven yards. Ta'amu was a fourth-round pick out of Washington in this past year's draft, but he later got arrested for allegedly driving while intoxicated and was waived in October. Both players will fight for roster spots this upcoming offseason. Dec 29 |
| 20 | Courtney Roby Out of FBSaints released WR/KR Courtney Roby. It's a mild surprise. Although Roby isn't a contributor on offense, he's been the Saints' primary kickoff returner for most of the last three seasons and is also a gunner. Aug 31 |
| 21 | Johnathan Haggerty |
| 22 | Emmanuel Arceneaux |
| 23 | 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 |
| 24 | 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 |
| 25 | 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 |
| 26 | 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 |
| 27 | Anthony Armstrong Out of FBLions worked out free agent WRs Anthony Armstrong, Charles Hawkins and Lavelle Hawkins Tuesday. None of the trio were immediately signed, suggesting that the Lions are comfortable going to battle with Calvin Johnson, Patrick Edwards (ankle) and Ryan Broyles (knees) Sunday. Even if one of these three does get signed, they'd be playing an outside role for Detroit. They wouldn't affect slot man Ryan Broyles' potential production. Sep 25 |
| 28 | 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 |
| 29 | 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 |
| 30 | Mardy Gilyard |
| 31 | 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 |
| 32 | 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 |
| 33 | Cole McKenzie |
| 34 | Jamal Miles |
| 35 | Rashad Evans |
| 36 | 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 |
| 37 | 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 |
| 38 | Erik Highsmith |
| 39 | Demetrius Fields |
| 40 | Scott Pillar |
| 41 | Chip Reeves |
| 42 | 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 |
| 43 | Jheranie Boyd |
| 44 | Eric Rogers |
| 45 | Rashaad Carter |
| WR2 | 1 | Brandon Lloyd |
| 2 | Nate Burleson |
| 3 | Sidney Rice |
| 4 | Davone Bess |
| 5 | 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 |
| 6 | 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 |
| 7 | Donald Jones Out of FBRetired WR Donald Jones may require a kidney transplant after receiving a "major scare" during an August workout for the Colts. As Jones was on a treadmill taking a stress test, his blood pressure skyrocketed to 250 over 110. "That," said Jones, "was definitely a new thing." Jones is consulting with former basketball player Alonzo Mourning, who had a kidney transplant in 2003 and returned to play hoops. Jones is only 25 years old. Aug 8 |
| 8 | 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 |
| 9 | 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 |
| 10 | 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 |
| 11 | Darius Hanks |
| 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 | Jason Avant |
| 14 | Derek Hagan Out of FBBucs released or waived WR Derek Hagan, WR Carlton Mitchell, DE Ernest Owusu, DE Markus White, FB Spencer Larsen, and S Troy Nolan. Hagan couldn't overtake Tiquan Underwood or Kevin Ogletree. The Bucs also signed UDFA TE Mike Shanahan, who was in training camp with the Jets. Aug 26 |
| 15 | Donte' Stallworth Out of FBRedskins released WR Donte' Stallworth. The veteran deep threat missed a bunch of August with an early-camp hamstring issue, and we noticed the writing on the wall when Stallworth was playing with third-teamers in Washington's third preseason game. Injuries limited Stallworth to only one game with the Patriots last season. Stallworth can still turn on the jets, but does little else. Going on 33, he has just 42 catches over the past five seasons. He's very near the end of the line. Aug 26 |
| 16 | Brian Robiskie Out of FBFalcons signed WR Brian Robiskie. Robiskie is a strict depth signing with Julio Jones (foot surgery) out for the season. With the Falcons on a bye, he'll serve as the No. 5 receiver if active in Week 7 against the Bucs. Oct 9 |
| 17 | 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 |
| 18 | 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 |
| 19 | Robert Gill |
| 20 | Martel Moore |
| 21 | 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 |
| 22 | 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 |
| 23 | 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 |
| 24 | 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 |
| 25 | Tray Session |
| 26 | 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 |
| 27 | 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 |
| 28 | 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 |
| 29 | 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 |
| 30 | 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 |
| 31 | Naaman Roosevelt Out of FBBrowns signed WR Naaman Roosevelt. Roosevelt, 25, was out of the league last season. Prior to that, he caught 25 passes for 396 yards and one touchdown in two seasons with the Bills. Roosevelt will try to earn a spot at the bottom of the roster. Jul 23 |
| 32 | 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 |
| 33 | 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 |
| 34 | 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 |
| 35 | 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 |
| 36 | Michael Calvin |
| 37 | Taveon Rogers |
| 38 | Perez Ashford |
| 39 | Jason Thompson |
| 40 | Omarius Hines |
| 41 | Anthony Amos |
| 42 | 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 |
| 43 | Dale Moss Out of FBPanthers waived WR Dale Moss. Moss has loads of athleticism, but it's never translated to the field. The Panthers also waived QB Colby Cameron, LB Ryan Rau, P Jordan Gay, CB Nick Hixson, K Morgan Lineberry, DE Louis Nzegwu, S Ricardo Silva, and OL Justin Wells. Aug 24 |
| 44 | Devin Goda |
| 45 | Andrew DePaola |
| 46 | 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 |
| 47 | Patrick Crayton Out of FBSaints released WR Patrick Crayton. The 34-year-old lasted only one week on the roster. Aug 19 |
| 48 | 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 |
| 49 | Early Doucet |
| 50 | Rodrick Rumble |
| 51 | Jerry Johnson |
| WR3 | 1 | Jabar Gaffney |
| 2 | Laurent Robinson |
| 3 | Davone Bess |
| TE | 1 | Randy McMichael |
| 2 | 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 |
| 3 | Tony Scheffler Out of FBFree agent TE Tony Scheffler worked out for the Bears Friday. Scheffler was released by the Lions on Tuesday. If signed, he'll provide insurance as the No. 2 tight end behind Martellus Bennett. Scheffler had just seven catches for 82 yards in five games this season. Oct 25 |
| 4 | David Thomas |
| 5 | 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 |
| 6 | Aaron Hernandez |
| 7 | Josh Baker |
| 8 | 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 |
| 9 | 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 |
| 10 | 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 |
| 11 | 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 |
| 12 | Steve Watson Out of FBRavens waived TE Steve Watson. Watson, 25 next week, signed a reserve/future contract in January. Apr 29 |
| 13 | Dallas Walker Out of FBChargers signed TE Dallas Walker to a three-year contract. Walker was an undrafted free agent out of Western Michigan in last year's draft. He "caught the Chargers' eye" at the Super Regional Combine in Dallas. Walker is a long-shot to even crack the practice squad, let alone the 53-man roster. Apr 15 |
| 14 | Ben Cotton |
| 15 | David Rolf |
| 16 | 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 |
| 17 | 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 |
| 18 | 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 |
| 19 | 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 |
| 20 | Dan Gronkowski Out of FBBrowns waived TE Dan Gronkowski. Rob's younger brother will continue to bounce around the league. Aug 30 |
| 21 | 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 |
| 22 | 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 |
| 23 | 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 |
| 24 | 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 |
| 25 | 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 |
| 26 | 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 |
| 27 | 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 |
| 28 | 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 |
| 29 | Evan Moore |
| 30 | Tim Biere |
| 31 | Dominique Jones Out of FBChiefs waived TE Dominique Jones and LB Robert James. A 2012 undrafted free agent, Jones appeared in eight games between the Chiefs and Colts last season, catching two passes. James has 19 career appearances, 16 of which came with the Falcons in 2012. Mar 6 |
| 32 | 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 |
| 33 | Cameron Graham |
| 34 | 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 |
| 35 | 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 |
| 36 | Taylor Cook |
| 37 | Travis Tannahill |
| 38 | Chase Clement |
| K | 1 | 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 |
| 2 | 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 |
| 3 | 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 |
| 4 | Morgan Lineberry |
| 5 | Brett Baer |
| 6 | Brett Maher |
