| Pos | Role | Name |
| QB | 1 | Vince Young  Out of FBThe Packers are not believed to be interested in re-signing free agent QB Vince Young. Young, 30, spent 26 days with the Packers during the summer before being a part of final cuts. He completed 20-of-42 preseason passes for 177 yards with zero touchdowns and one lost fumble. It was widely believed that he had sealed up the No. 2 job following the all-important third exhibition game but face-planted in the finale. Young hasn't generated any known interest since. Nov 5 |
| 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 | Nick Stephens |
| 4 | Matt Blanchard Out of FBBears waived QB Matt Blanchard with an injury settlement. Blanchard fractured a knuckle on his non-throwing hand in the second preseason game. He did have a shot to stick on the practice squad prior to the injury. The Bears have since signed Trent Edwards as their No. 3 quarterback. Aug 27 |
| 5 | Tyler Wilson Out of FBRaiders waived QB Tyler Wilson. Wilson, the No. 112 overall pick in April's draft, has been a colossal flop. He'll likely revert back to the practice squad once he clears waivers. Nov 27 |
| 6 | Tim Tebow Out of FBThe Post-Dispatch confirms that free agent QB Tim Tebow "is not coming to St. Louis." The NFL.com report that said the Rams were having discussions regarding Tebow following Sam Bradford's ACL tear has now been debunked by numerous outlets. If the Rams did think about adding the Tebow circus, they've quickly changed their mind. Expect another quarterback to be added to the roster as a backup to Kellen Clemens. Tebow has been on the street since the Patriots released him just before Week 1. Oct 21 |
| 7 | 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 |
| 8 | Trent Edwards Out of FBFree agent QBs Trent Edwards and Mike Kafka worked out for the Falcons. The Falcons lost No. 2 quarterback Dominique Davis to injury in Sunday's blowout loss to the Bucs. Edwards was part of the Bears' final cuts this summer, while Kafka spent training camp and preseason with the Jaguars. Nov 19 |
| 9 | David Carr Out of FBFree agent David Carr will go through a physical and tryout Sunday at the Raiders' facility. Matt Flynn's abominable Week 4 performance has the Raiders on the lookout for a backup upgrade behind Terrelle Pryor. They like UDFA Matt McGloin, but couldn't afford to trust him for serious playing time were Pryor to suffer another injury. If the Raiders like what they see from 34-year-old Carr, it's entirely possible they'd throw in the towel on Flynn and release him. He can't play. Oct 6 |
| 10 | McLeod Bethel-Thompson Out of FB49ers waived QB McLeod Bethel-Thompson. The move clears a roster spot for Michael Crabtree. A former Viking, Bethel-Thompson could have trouble finding a roster spot this time of season. Nov 26 |
| 11 | Matt Scott Out of FBUndrafted rookie QB Matt Scott (high-ankle sprain) has shed his walking boot, and was participating in Jaguars OTAs on Monday. Scott's "high-ankle sprain" came just nine days ago, but he's clearly feeling a sense of urgency as he makes his roster bid. Battling with fellow UDFA Jordan Rodgers for No. 3 duties, Scott has a legit chance at a roster spot, but can't afford to miss any time with injury. May 13 |
| 12 | B.J. Daniels Out of FBSeahawks waived QB B.J. Daniels. Daniels had been serving as Seattle's No. 3 quarterback since Week 4. The move clears a spot for LT Russell Okung (foot) to return from injured reserve. Nov 16 |
| 13 | Ryan Katz |
| 14 | 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 |
| 15 | Kyle Padron |
| 16 | James Vandenberg |
| 17 | Mike Hermann |
| 18 | Nathan Stanley |
| 19 | Dalton Williams |
| 20 | Matt Brown |
| 21 | Caleb TerBush |
| 22 | Tim Jenkins |
| 23 | 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 |
| 24 | 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 |
| 25 | 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 |
| 26 | 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 |
| 27 | 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 |
| 28 | Collin Klein |
| 29 | 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 | Beanie Wells |
| 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 | Shaun Draughn Out of FBRavens released RB/KR Shaun Draughn. Draughn lost kick return duties to Deonte Thompson and didn't get a touch from scrimmage in each of the last two weeks. Oct 10 |
| 7 | Delone Carter Out of FBFree agent RB Delone Carter is working out for the Titans Tuesday. Carter fell out of favor in Indy and then got waived by the Ravens at final cuts. It's questionable if he'd be an upgrade on Jackie Battle. Shonn Greene (knee) remains sidelined. Sep 24 |
| 8 | Jamie Harper |
| 9 | Anthony Allen Out of FBRavens waived RB Anthony Allen and TE Alex Silvestro. Allen's fate was sealed by the Ravens' acquisition of Delone Carter. A 2011 seventh-rounder out of Georgia, Allen was also waived at final cuts last season only to return and appear in all 16 games. He had a dud preseason, carrying the ball 20 times for just 68 yards (3.4 YPC). Aug 30 |
| 10 | Jamaine Cook |
| 11 | Tashard Choice Out of FBBills waived RB Tashard Choice. The Bills will roll with undrafted rookie Ronnie Wingo behind Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller. Th 29-year-old Choice rushed 35 times for 126 yards (3.60 YPC) with no touchdowns on the season, failing to secure a real role with college coach Chan Gailey gone. Dec 4 |
| 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 | 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 |
| 14 | Jalen Parmele Out of FBTitans waived RB Jalen Parmele. He was a longshot behind Chris Johnson, Shonn Greene, and Jackie Battle. Aug 30 |
| 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 | 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 |
| 17 | Jonas Gray Out of FBDolphins waived RB Jonas Gray. Gray showed better tackle-breaking and short-yardage ability than Daniel Thomas in preseason games, but Thomas is a former second-round pick and Gray is a 2012 UDFA. So the Fins kept the player in which they had more invested. Gray does figure to clear waivers and has practice squad eligibility remaining. Aug 31 |
| 18 | Joe Banyard Out of FBVikings waived RB Joe Banyard. Banyard had a nice preseason, rushing for 115 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries (5.2 YPC). It wasn't enough to beat out Matt Asiata for No. 3 duties. Aug 31 |
| 19 | 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 |
| 20 | Ray Graham Out of FBFree agent RB Ray Graham worked out for the Steelers Tuesday. Graham was waived by the Texans last week. He isn't a candidate for backup duties behind Le'Veon Bell, but would provide depth as the No. 4 running back. Graham went undrafted out of Pitt this offseason and has practice squad eligibility. Nov 19 |
| 21 | 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 |
| 22 | 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 |
| 23 | Kendall Gaskins |
| 24 | Deonte Williams |
| 25 | Jerodis Williams |
| 26 | Jonathan Grimes Out of FBJaguars RB Jonathan Grimes outplayed Jordan Todman and De'Leon Eskridge during OTAs and minicamp. Grimes won't beat out Justin Forsett or Denard Robinson, but he appears to have the inside track on a roster spot if the Jags feel the need to keep four backs. The health of Maurice Jones-Drew's foot will help determine Grimes' fate. Jul 16 |
| 27 | 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 |
| 28 | 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 |
| 29 | 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 |
| 30 | Chad Spann Out of FBJets waived RB Chad Spann. Coach Rex Ryan referred to Spann as "that MJD guy" earlier in camp, but the 5-foot-9, 198-pound back didn't make a preseason impact. Spann has never appeared in an NFL game, and doesn't appear terribly likely to do so this season. Aug 26 |
| 31 | 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 |
| 32 | Jordan Roberts |
| 33 | De'Leon Eskridge |
| 34 | Joe McKnight |
| 35 | 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 |
| 36 | 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 |
| GLB | 1 | Michael Turner |

| 3RB | 1 | D.J. Ware |

| FB | 1 | Lousaka Polite |
| 2 | 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 |
| 3 | 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 |
| 4 | Brit Miller |
| 5 | Shaun Chapas Out of FBLions promoted FB/TE Shaun Chapas from the practice squad. WR Lance Long was waived in a corresponding roster move. MLive.com believes Chapas' promotion is likely confirmation that Brandon Pettigrew (ankle, doubtful) won't suit up for Week 15. Dec 14 |
| 6 | 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 |
| 7 | Brad Smelley Out of FBBrowns waived TE/FB Brad Smelley, OG Jarrod Shaw, and OT Caylin Hauptmann. The Browns are rolling with Chris Ogbonnaya at fullback this season. Sep 1 |
| 8 | Ben Bartholomew |
| 9 | Jason Schepler |
| 10 | Austin Johnson |
| 11 | 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 |
| 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 | Eric Kettani Out of FBRedskins waived FB Eric Kettani, LB Ricky Elmore, K John Potter, WR Chip Reeves, and LB Quan Sturdivant. They also waived/injured LB Jimmy Kimbrough and CB Richard Crawford, and placed LB Keenan Robinson and rookie SS Phillip Thomas on injured reserve. Aug 26 |
| 14 | Owen Marecic Out of FB49ers waived FB Owen Marecic. Marecic played for Jim Harbaugh at Stanford, but lasted just two weeks on the roster, playing zero snaps. The former Brown will look for special-teams work elsewhere. Oct 1 |
| 15 | Owen Schmitt |
| 16 | Eddie Williams |
| 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 | Jon Hoese |
| 19 | 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 |
| 20 | Zach Boren Out of FBTexans signed Ohio State FB Zach Boren. Boren (5-foot-11 1/2, 238) touched the ball just 37 times in four seasons for the Buckeyes and played linebacker for the final six games of his career. He ran a 5.0-flat forty at the Combine. Boren will compete for a special teams role. Apr 27 |
| 21 | Devonte Campbell |
| 22 | Rupert Bryan |
| 23 | Ryan Roberson |
| 24 | Jonathan Amosa |
| 25 | 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 |
| 26 | Jourdan Brooks |
| 27 | 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 | Laurent Robinson |
| 2 | David Reed Out of FBColts waived KR/WR David Reed and TE Justice Cunningham. LB Josh McNary was promoted from the practice squad in a corresponding roster move. Reed had a shot at a bigger role on offense after Reggie Wayne (ACL) was lost for the season, but caught just one pass in four games. Reed was also struggling mightily on returns, continually bringing the ball out of the end zone at inopportune times. It's possible Da'Rick Rogers will finally get a chance in Indy. Nov 26 |
| 3 | Jabar Gaffney |
| 4 | Titus Young |
| 5 | Griff Whalen Out of FBColts waived WR Griff Whalen. TE Justice Cunningham was promoted from the practice squad in a corresponding roster move. It's a surprising move in that Whalen had been playing heavy snaps since Reggie Wayne (ACL) went down, but unsurprising in that he hadn't been playing good football. Whalen is a catch-and-fall specialist out of the slot who doesn't generate consistent separation. His release should mean more snaps for LaVon Brazill, and possibly Da'Rick Rogers. Both players are more talented than Whalen. Nov 19 |
| 6 | Michael Campbell Out of FBRams signed WR Michael Campbell, formerly of the Jets. Campbell, a 23-year-old former UDFA out of Temple, is familiar with St. Louis' offensive scheme after spending last season on the Jets' practice squad. New Rams OC Brian Schottenheimer now holds the same role with the Rams. May 14 |
| 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 | Andy Tanner Out of FBSaints waived WR Andy Tanner. The fourth-year undrafted free agent out of Midwestern State has never appeared in an NFL game. Sep 12 |
| 9 | Tori Gurley Out of FBBrowns promoted WR Tori Gurley and DB Julian Posey from their practice squad. They also placed S Josh Aubrey on year-ending injured reserve. Gurley can help on special teams. Posey will be a deep reserve defensive back. Oct 18 |
| 10 | Bryan Walters Out of FBSeahawks waived WR Bryan Walters. Walters, 26, appeared in three games on special teams. DT Michael Brooks was promoted from the practice squad to take his spot on the active roster. Nov 9 |
| 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 | Kevin Hardy |
| 13 | Tobais Palmer Out of FBThe Jaguars are "encouraged" by undrafted WR Tobais Palmer. "We talked about him quite a bit after the rookie minicamp," coach Gus Bradley said. "We really like his speed and we’re trying to move him around to find a home for him." Palmer has a history of migraines, and they have forced him to sit out the last two days of OTAs. He has a chance to stick on a roster with a coaching staff promoting competition at every position. May 15 |
| 14 | Keenan Davis |
| 15 | Chad Bumphis Out of FBDolphins waived WR Chad Bumphis. The Miami Herald reported earlier this month that Bumphis was "making a case" for a roster spot, but five of his nine preseason catches came in the supremely meaningless Hall-of-Fame game. He's a candidate for the practice squad. Aug 31 |
| 16 | Taulib Ikharo |
| 17 | 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 |
| 18 | Robby Toma |

| 20 | Rico Richardson |
| 21 | Marcus Jackson |
| 22 | Dan Buckner |
| 23 | Roy Roundtree |
| 24 | 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 |
| 25 | Johnathan Haggerty |
| 26 | Emmanuel Arceneaux |
| 27 | Matt Willis Out of FBFree agent WR Matt Willis worked out for the Dolphins on Tuesday. The longtime Bronco was released by Denver at final cuts. The Dolphins are in the beginning stages of finding somebody to take Brandon Gibson's (knee, injured reserve) roster spot. Willis would be a glorified special teamer. Oct 29 |
| 28 | 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 |
| 29 | 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 |
| 30 | 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 |
| 31 | Mike Thomas Out of FBCardinals released WR Mike Thomas. The Cardinals are the third team to give up on Thomas in the past 10 months. The end is nigh. Aug 30 |
| 32 | 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 |
| 33 | 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 |
| 34 | 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 |
| 35 | Chris Summers Out of FBESPN 1500 Twin Cities believes 2012 undrafted free agent Chris Summers could push for the Vikings' fifth receiver spot. Standing in at 6-foot-5, Summers has bulked up from 208 pounds to 220. The Liberty product spent his rookie year on the practice squad. That's still his most likely 2013 destination. May 27 |
| 36 | Kashif Moore Out of FBSteelers signed WR Kashif Moore to a reserve/future contract. An undrafted free agent out of Connecticut last season, Moore was waived by the Bengals after making just one catch during the preseason. He bounced around practice squads during the regular season. He'll compete for a practice-squad spot in Pittsburgh. Jan 28 |
| 37 | Nicholas Johnson |
| 38 | 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 |
| 39 | Ifeanyi Momah Out of FBEagles signed WR Ifeanyi Momah to a three-year contract. Momah is a tall drink of water at 6-foot-7 and 229 pounds. He played his college ball at Boston College, and caught 39 passes for 629 yards and six touchdowns in his career. A roster long shot, Momah also played some defensive end at BC. Mar 30 |
| 40 | 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 |
| 41 | Cole McKenzie |
| 42 | Jamal Miles |
| 43 | 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 |
| 44 | 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 |
| 45 | 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 |
| 46 | Mardy Gilyard |
| 47 | 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 |
| 48 | Erik Highsmith |
| 49 | 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 |
| 50 | Rashad Evans |
| 51 | Cody Wilson |
| 52 | Chip Reeves |
| 53 | Eric Rogers |
| 54 | Rashaad Carter |
| 55 | Terrell Sinkfield Out of FBGiants waived WR Terrell Sinkfield, FB Ben Guidugli, WR Brandon Collins, TE Jamie Childers, TE Chase Clement, OL Michael Jasper, OL Austin Holtz, LB Jake Muasau, LB Etienne Sabino, DT Frank Okam, CB La'Ron Scott, CB Junior Mertile, and S Alonzo Tweedy. Sinkfield is a blazer with alleged sub-4.2 wheels, but he's now been cut by three NFL teams. There are no other surprises among New York's first cuts. Aug 25 |
| 56 | Jheranie Boyd |
| 57 | Demetrius Fields |
| 58 | Scott Pillar |
| WR2 | 1 | Brandon Lloyd |
| 2 | 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 | Ryan Spadola Out of FBDolphins promoted WR Ryan Spadola from the practice squad. An undrafted rookie out of small-school Lehigh, Spadola will take Brandon Gibson's roster spot, but not his role. If Spadola is active Thursday evening, his contributions will be limited to special teams. Oct 31 |
| 5 | Sam McGuffie Out of FBRaiders waived WR Sam McGuffie, C Andrew Robiskie, DB Cory Nelms, DT Myles Wade, WR Tray Session, FB Jon Hoese, RB Deonte Williams, and LB Eric Harper. These are the Raiders' first cuts. Once a monster recruit at Michigan, McGuffie turned in a disappointing college career after transferring to Rice. He made no waves in training camp, but could perhaps have a future in the CFL. Aug 25 |
| 6 | 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 |
| 7 | 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 |
| 8 | Isaiah Williams |
| 9 | Devon Wylie Out of FBTitans promoted WR Devon Wylie from the practice squad. The No. 107 overall pick of the 2012 draft, Wylie caught just six passes for the Chiefs last season, and was waived at final cuts in September. He'll bring up the rear of Tennessee's receiver corps, and could see some time on returns. Nov 12 |
| 10 | Danny Coale Out of FBFree agent WR Danny Coale worked out for the Giants on Tuesday. On their bye week, the Giants hosted a 20-man free-agent workout. Coale, RB Keiland Williams, and WR Preston Parker were the most notable names. QB B.J. Coleman was also in attendance, but he was likely there to make the throws. The Giants were just doing due diligence and updating the emergency list. Oct 30 |
| 11 | B.J. Cunningham Out of FBEagles waived WR B.J. Cunningham. Cunningham loses his roster spot to Brad Smith. The 2012 sixth-round pick of the Dolphins has no career catches in two appearances. Nov 12 |
| 12 | Saalim Hakim Out of FBSecond-year WR Saalim Hakim has been turning heads with his speed in Saints OTAs. A 2012 UDFA out of the UFL, Hakim spent the final two games of the season on New Orleans' active roster. He is the (far) younger brother of former NFLer Az-Zahir Hakim. "He can run — he can really run," coach Sean Payton said. S Malcolm Jenkins says Hakim has another gear. "The defensive backs learned that right away last year when he got here." Hakim played little high school or college ball, but with wheels that are rumored to be in the 4.2s, he should get a long look in training camp. Jun 7 |
| 13 | Darius Hanks |
| 14 | 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 |
| 15 | Robert Gill |
| 16 | Corey Fuller Out of FBLions waived WR Corey Fuller, LB Jon Morgan, and OL Darren Keyton. They're all practice squad eligible. Fuller will be a priority for Detroit to stash after GM Martin Mayhew drafted him in the sixth round this April. Aug 31 |
| 17 | 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 |
| 18 | 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 |
| 19 | 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 |
| 20 | Austin Collie Out of FBPatriots released WR Austin Collie. The injury-prone wideout tweaked his knee in Sunday's win, but it's unclear if that's why he's been cut loose. Collie caught just three passes in four games as a Pat, and has only four grabs since the end of the 2011 season. The vast majority of Collie's once prodigious upside has vanished. He's near the end of the line. Nov 5 |
| 21 | 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 |
| 22 | 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 |
| 23 | Jordan Norwood Out of FBBucs agreed to terms with WR Jordan Norwood, formerly of the Browns. DE Aaron Morgan was waived in a corresponding move. A fifth-year undrafted free agent, Norwood spent the past two years with the Browns. He was waived on Monday. He's likely just a camp body, but the Bucs don't have a set slot receiver. Norwood plays exclusively in the slot. Aug 28 |
| 24 | Jordan Shipley Out of FBThe Patriots worked out free agent WRs Jordan Shipley, LaQuan Williams and Devon Wylie on Tuesday. The Pats also worked out TE Brandon Barden. It's possible the Patriots are looking to make a move with Danny Amendola's (concussion) status up in the air, but they may also be just updating their emergency list. Oct 15 |
| 25 | 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 |
| 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 | 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 |
| 28 | Brandon Kaufman Out of FBBills signed Eastern Washington WR Brandon Kaufman. Kaufman (6-foot-5, 216) hauled in 221 passes for 3,731 yards (16.9 YPR) and 33 touchdowns in four seasons with the Eagles. A Riley Cooper or Kris Durham type, Kaufman is big and long and projects as a potential red-zone threat. Unfortunately, Kaufman's 4.67 forty time puts a lid on his NFL ceiling. The Bills used two Day 2 draft picks on wideouts in Robert Woods and Marquise Goodwin. Apr 27 |
| 29 | 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 |
| 30 | 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 |
| 31 | Tray Session |
| 32 | 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 |
| 33 | Jabin Sambrano |
| 34 | Tim Benford Out of FBCowboys waived WR Tim Benford. Per FOX Sports, the Cowboys are "hoping" Benford clears waivers so they can stash him on the practice squad. The 2012 undrafted free agent caught 11 passes for 135 yards this preseason. Aug 31 |
| 35 | DeMarco Sampson Out of FBBills signed WR DeMarco Sampson. A seventh-round pick of the Cardinals in 2011, Sampson joins a crowded wideout group in Buffalo. T.J. Graham, Robert Woods, Marquise Goodwin, Da'Rick Rogers all in battling for snaps across from Stevie Johnson. May 30 |
| 36 | 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 |
| 37 | Preston Parker Out of FBSaints signed WR Preston Parker and DL Jay Richardson to reserve/future contracts. Parker, who turns 26 next month, caught 40 passes for 554 yards and three touchdowns for the Bucs in 2011, before falling out of favor with new coach Greg Schiano this past season. Richardson is a defensive end/tackle 'tweener. Jan 4 |
| 38 | 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 |
| 39 | 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 |
| 40 | Martel Moore |
| 41 | Andy Cruse |
| 42 | 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 |
| 43 | Lamaar Thomas Out of FBBroncos waived WR Lamaar Thomas. Thomas reportedly "caught the coaches' attention" during OTAs, but caught just three passes for 34 yards in the preseason. He'll be a candidate for the practice squad. Aug 30 |
| 44 | 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 |
| 45 | Perez Ashford |
| 46 | Cordell Roberson |
| 47 | Jason Thompson |
| 48 | Omarius Hines |
| 49 | Gerrard Sheppard |
| 50 | Jerry Johnson |
| 51 | Anthony Amos |
| 52 | 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 |
| 53 | Rodrick Rumble |
| 54 | 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 |
| 55 | 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 |
| 56 | 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 |
| 57 | Jamar Newsome Out of FBChiefs waived WR Jamar Newsome. Newsome appeared in six games for the Chiefs last year, catching five balls for 73 yards. His roster spot was needed for an extra tight end thanks to Tony Moeaki's shoulder injury. Aug 27 |
| 58 | 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 |
| 59 | Michael Calvin |
| 60 | Kashif Moore |
| 61 | Taveon Rogers |
| 62 | 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 |
| 63 | Devin Goda |
| 64 | Andrew DePaola |
| 65 | Lanear Sampson Out of FBColts signed Baylor WR Lanear Sampson. Sampson (5-foot-11 1/8, 204) was Baylor's No. 3 receiver as a senior, behind Terrance Williams and junior Tevin Reese. He racked up 52 catches for 646 yards (12.4 YPR) and six touchdowns. Sampson ran a 4.46 forty at the Combine with a blazing 1.51 ten-yard split. His only real negative is route running, which is coachable. Sampson will compete for a roster spot in a deep Colts receiver corps. Apr 27 |
| 66 | Patrick Crayton Out of FBSaints released WR Patrick Crayton. The 34-year-old lasted only one week on the roster. Aug 19 |
| 67 | Early Doucet |
| 68 | 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 |
| WR3 | 1 | Jabar Gaffney |
| 2 | Laurent Robinson |
| 3 | Griff Whalen |
| TE | 1 | Dominique Jones Out of FBColts waived TE Dominique Jones. A second-year undrafted free agent, Jones had two catches in six games. He'll likely be stashed on the practice squad if he clears waivers. Oct 22 |
| 2 | Aaron Hernandez |
| 3 | Steve Maneri Out of FBBears released TE Steve Maneri. The 6-foot-6, 290-pound blocking tight end goes to make room for Jordan Palmer, who is now Josh McCown's backup with Jay Cutler (groin) out indefinitely. Oct 21 |
| 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 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 |
| 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 | Randy McMichael |
| 9 | 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 |
| 10 | 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 |
| 11 | 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 |
| 12 | Michael Higgins Out of FBSaints re-signed exclusive rights free agent TE Michael Higgins and G/C Eric Olsen to one-year, $555,000 contracts. Higgins appeared in two games in 2012 after being promoted from the practice squad in Week 13, catching one pass. Olsen played in all 16 games and started four at right guard. They're pure depth players. Feb 14 |
| 13 | Josh Baker |
| 14 | 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 |
| 15 | Kevin Brock Out of FBChiefs waived TE Kevin Brock. Brock had caught three passes in four games, but was no longer needed with Anthony Fasano back to full health. Oct 29 |
| 16 | Steve Watson Out of FBRavens waived TE Steve Watson. Watson, 25 next week, signed a reserve/future contract in January. Apr 29 |
| 17 | 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 |
| 18 | Justice Cunningham Out of FBColts signed TE Justice Cunningham to the practice squad. Cunningham was released on Monday and passed through waivers unclaimed. The 254th overall pick in April's draft, he was never a realistic candidate to make the 53-man roster. The Colts promoted TE Dominique Jones from the practice squad in a corresponding move. Sep 3 |
| 19 | Ryan Otten Out of FBJaguars signed San Jose State TE Ryan Otten. Otten (6-foot-5, 242) secured 99 passes for 1,481 yards (15.0 YPR) and nine touchdowns over his final two college seasons. He ran forty times of 4.69 and 4.76 at the Spartans' Pro Day, also registering a 33-inch vertical. Otten only did 17 bench reps and obviously isn't going to help as a blocker, but he is long and athletic and has been compared to a "poor man's Tyler Eifert" by ESPN's Mel Kiper. The Jaguars don't have a clear No. 2 tight end behind Marcedes Lewis. Apr 27 |
| 20 | Ben Cotton |
| 21 | David Rolf |
| 22 | 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 |
| 23 | 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 |
| 24 | Emil Igwenagu Out of FBEagles signed FB/TE Emil Igwenagu off their practice squad. Igwenagu is an H-back type that got a lot of reps during training camp when Brent Celek was sidelined by a sprained knee. Now he'll back up starter Clay Harbor with Celek (concussion) ruled out of Thursday's game against the Bengals. Dec 11 |
| 25 | 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 |
| 26 | Kyle Miller Out of FBDolphins waived TE Kyle Miller. A third-year undrafted free agent, Miller has made one career appearance. Per the Miami Herald, he's a candidate for the practice squad. The Dolphins are thin at tight end, so it stands to reason Miller will be promoted at some point this season. Aug 31 |
| 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 | 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 |
| 29 | D.J. Williams Out of FBPatriots waived TE D.J. Williams. Williams was signed last week. Now the Michael Hoomanawanui (knee) is back at practice, Williams is no longer needed. Dec 4 |
| 30 | Jameson Konz Out of FBSeahawks waived TE Jameson Konz, WR Perez Ashford, LB Kyle Knox, TE Andrei Lintz, LS Kyle Nelson, DT Martin Parker, LB Craig Wilkins, and WR Brett Swain. The Seahawks tried Konz at both tight end and defensive end, but he couldn't stick. Swain is a former Packers and 49ers retread wide receiver. Aug 26 |
| 31 | 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 |
| 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 | Daniel Fells Out of FBFree agent TE Daniel Fells is visiting the Seahawks. It's Fells' first known visit since he was cut loose by the Patriots. The Boston Globe reported earlier Monday that Fells suffered a concussion in the preseason. He'd just be a depth signing for the Seahawks. Sep 9 |
| 34 | Dan Gronkowski Out of FBBrowns waived TE Dan Gronkowski. Rob's younger brother will continue to bounce around the league. Aug 30 |
| 35 | 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 |
| 36 | Cameron Morrah Out of FBLions waived TEs Cameron Morrah and Matt Veldman and WR Terrence Austin. And the Lions are officially at 75 players. Morrah and Veldman were just camp bodies at tight end, never standing a real chance at making the team. Aug 27 |
| 37 | Richard Quinn Out of FBCardinals released TE Richard Quinn. Signed on Tuesday, cut on Friday. Life on the roster bubble. Aug 30 |
| 38 | 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 |
| 39 | Evan Moore |
| 40 | 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 |
| 41 | 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 |
| 42 | Gabe Miller Out of FBNFL suspended Bears TE Gabe Miller four games for violating the league's performance-enhancing drugs policy. It's the first we've heard of Miller since he was the No. 140 pick of the 2011 draft. With zero career appearances to his name, this could be the last we hear of Miller before his release. Jun 4 |
| 43 | Cameron Graham |
| 44 | Brett Brackett Out of FBJaguars TE Brett Brackett underwent groin surgery Tuesday. Brackett has never appeared in an NFL game since going undrafted out of Penn State in 2011. He spent last year on injured reserve with a knee injury. The pass-catching tight end is expected back to compete for a roster spot at training camp. Jun 13 |
| 45 | 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 |
| 46 | Tim Biere |
| 47 | 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 |

| K | 1 | Shayne Graham Out of FBThe Saints worked out free agent Ks Shayne Graham, Derek Dimke and Neil Rackers on Tuesday. With Garrett Hartley's missed field goals mounting, the Saints are at least updating their emergency list. Hartley is 16-of-22 on the season. Nov 12 |
| 2 | 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 |
| 3 | Giorgio Tavecchio Out of FBPackers waived K Giorgio Tavecchio. Green Bay's kicking competition will now come down to Mason Crosby and Zach Ramirez, which in essence means it'll be Crosby for at least another year. Aug 26 |
| 4 | Derek Dimke Out of FBBucs coach Greg Schiano says second-year UDFA Derek Dimke will compete with Lawrence Tynes for kicking duties. "We'll see how that plays out," Schiano claimed Thursday. Tynes will have to majorly face-plant to lose the job. Jul 19 |
| 5 | Danny Hrapmann |
| 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 |
