A quick look around the NFL:
- New Cowboys cornerback Bene Benwikere needs to be on the team’s 46-man gameday roster four times in order for the Bengals to receive Dallas’ sixth-round pick in 2019, ESPN.com’s Todd Archer tweets. The corner was shipped to his fifth team in eleven months in the Sunday trade.
- The Vikings gave quarterback Kyle Sloter an above-average salary of $20K/week to join the practice squad, allowing them to outbid the Broncos, Redskins, Eagles, Falcons, and others, Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press tweets. Sloter excelled in the preseason, but the Broncos went in a different direction to solidify their quarterback void.
- The Jets auditioned tight end Tim Wright, as Howard Balzer of BalzerFootball.com tweets. Wright, who is now years removed from playing his best football, was recently cut loose by Detroit.
