Four teams made minor moves on Monday. Here’s a look…
Carolina Panthers
- Signed: WR Malick Meiga
- Waived: TE Heinrich Haarberg
New York Jets
- Signed: WR Jalen Walthall
- Waived/injured: Quentin Skinner
Seattle Seahawks
- Signed: T Bobby Hart
- Waived: WR Levi Wentz
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
- Signed: K B.T. Potter
- Waived: P Aidan Laros
Charles Cross and Abraham Lucas are entrenched as the Seahawks’ starting tackles, meaning the well-traveled Hart will vie for a backup role this summer. The former Giant, Bengal, Bill, Titan and Charger has amassed 108 appearances and 75 starts since he entered the league as a seventh-round pick in 2015. Hart was the Bengals’ starting right tackle from 2018-20, but he saw little action over the next four years and did not get into any regular-season games from 2023-24. He returned last year to play 10 games and start in eight at right tackle with the Chargers, who went without the injured Joe Alt for most of the season.

Friday’s only minor moves:
New York Jets
- Waived from reserve/PUP list: C Gus Hartwig
Philadelphia Eagles
- Signed: DT Zion Wilson
- Waived: WR Brandon Hayes
The Eagles are bringing in another undrafted rookie, though Wilson didn’t go undrafted in the same way as the rest of the team’s UDFA class. Per Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia, Wilson had sought a sixth year of eligibility to transfer to Virginia after he didn’t appear in any games during his true and redshirt freshman seasons at East Carolina. Ultimately, his sixth-year waiver was denied by the NCAA, so he will, instead, turn to the NFL.
Minor NFL Transactions: 6/4/26
Several NFL teams made minor transactions on Thursday. Here’s a look…
Cleveland Browns
- Signed: DE Benton Whitley
Houston Texans
- Signed: TE Louie Hansen
- Waived: WR Jalen Walthall
Los Angeles Rams
- Placed on IR: OL Chad Lindberg, OLB Eddie Walls
Minnesota Vikings
- Signed: WR Michael Briscoe, WR Trayvon Rudolph
- Waived: WR Joaquin Davis
New York Jets
- Signed: WR Gee Scott
Pittsburgh Steelers
- Signed: LB Jamin Davis
- Waived: TE Chamon Metayer
Out of the 11 players listed above, Davis is the only one with a first-round pedigree. Washington took the former Kentucky Wildcat 19th overall in 2021, but his stock has plummeted during his five-year career. As a member of the Commanders for three-plus seasons, he totaled 282 tackles and seven sacks over 50 games (36 starts).
The Commanders experimented with Davis at defensive end in 2024, but it didn’t work out to their liking. They waived Davis in late October that year, and he has since gone to short stints with the Packers, Vikings, Jets and Raiders. The 27-year-old got into two games with the Raiders last season and made three tackles. Davis is now reuniting with Steelers defensive coordinator Patrick Graham, who held the same position in Las Vegas in 2025.

Wednesday’s minor NFL transactions:
Dallas Cowboys
- Signed: WR Jaden Smith
New York Jets
- Waived (with injury designation): WR Da’Quan Felton
Philadelphia Eagles
- Signed: LB Chandler Martin
After only two days, Felton and Martin see their fortunes reversed. Martin is rejoining the team that waived him on Monday. The Jets will return Felton to the waiver wire two days after signing him with the apparent intent of reverting him to their injured reserve once he clears waivers.
Jets To Sign K Jason Sanders, Release K Younghoe Koo
The Jets are making a change at the kicker spot. A deal has been lined up with Jason Sanders, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports. Fellow veteran Younghoe Koo is being released in a corresponding move.
Sanders was released by the Giants yesterday. He has certainly not needed to wait long to find his next opportunity, with a gig on New York’s other NFL franchise being arranged. Sanders joined the Giants this spring but all of his 118 career regular and postseason appearances have come as a member of the Dolphins.
The 30-year-old missed all of 2025 through injury. Sanders was one of several Miami veterans who were cut by new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan in March, and a short stint on the open market ensued prior to his Giants deal. New York’s NFC team will move forward with a pair of younger kicking options during training camp, but the Jets will have an experienced presence in the form of Sanders this summer.
Koo – who appeared in five games for the Giants last season – was signed by the Jets one week ago. The longtime Falcons kicker was one of three options in place for the team at that point, with Cade York and Lenny Krieg being the others. Rosenblatt predicts York and Sanders will now compete for the gig over the course of training camp. Sanders sports a career accuracy rate of 84.6% on field goals, while York has gone 33-for-45 across 23 games played for Cleveland, Washington and Cincinnati.
For much of his Falcons tenure, Koo was among the league’s most accurate kickers. The 31-year-old South Korean saw his Atlanta stint come to an end early in the 2025 season, though, and he was among the options used by the Giants to fill in for Graham Gano. Koo’s struggles over the past two years could result in a free agent spell lasting through at least the start of training camp, but he will offer his next team with a veteran capable of competing for the full-time kicking position in 2026.

Jets Sign First-Round WR Omar Cooper Jr.
The Jets added three players during the opening round of April’s draft. Every member of that trio is now on the books.
New York agreed to terms with receiver Omar Cooper Jr. on Monday, ESPN’s Rich Cimini reports. This is a four-year deal worth a fully guaranteed $17.5MM. The Jets will be able to keep Cooper under team control through 2030 via the fifth-year option.
As expected, New York addressed the pass rush with pick No. 2 by drafting edge defender David Bailey. That was followed by the selection of tight end Kenyon Sadiq at No. 16. The Jets entered Day 1 of the draft with a pair of picks, but they swung a trade with the 49ers to move up to No. 30. That deal allowed them to select Cooper, who capped off a four-year run at Indiana with a national championship last season.
Cooper redshirted as a freshman and then totaled a modest 18 catches in nine games as a sophomore. He added another 28 catches for 594 yards – good for a whopping 21.2 average – and seven touchdowns in 2024. After that impressive showing, his production skyrocketed with the Hoosiers’ addition of quarterback Fernando Mendoza, who transferred from California. While mostly working from the slot in 2025, Cooper amassed 69 grabs for 937 yards and 13 TDs to earn second-team All-Big Ten honors. He also forced 27 missed tackles, most among any receiver in this year’s draft class.
The belief is Cooper has the versatility to line up in the slot and on the outside in the pros. Either way, he will add some much-needed talent to a Jets receiving corps that was sorely lacking in that area in 2025. No. 1 receiver Garrett Wilson will return after missing 10 games with a shoulder injury. The Jets will also get a full season from Adonai Mitchell, who showed flashes after they acquired him from the Colts in November’s Sauce Gardner blockbuster. Cooper, Sadiq, Wilson, Mitchell, running back Breece Hall and tight end Mason Taylor should be new quarterback Geno Smith‘s top options in the passing game in 2026, and they could form a strong core of weapons for the foreseeable future.
With Cooper now under contract, fourth-round defensive tackle Darrell Jackson Jr. is the Jets’ last unsigned pick. Here is their full eight-player class:
- Round 1, No. 2: David Bailey (EDGE, Texas Tech) (signed)
- Round 1, No. 16 (from Colts): Kenyon Sadiq (TE, Oregon) (signed)
- Round 1, No. 30 (from Broncos via Dolphins and 49ers): Omar Cooper Jr. (WR, Indiana) (signed)
- Round 2, No. 50 (from Lions): D’Angelo Ponds (CB, Indiana) (signed)
- Round 4, No. 103: Darrell Jackson Jr. (DT, Florida State)
- Round 4, No. 110 (from Bengals): Cade Klubnik (QB, Clemson) (signed)
- Round 6, No. 188 (from Browns via Seahawks): Anez Cooper (G, Miami) (signed)
- Round 7, No. 228 (from Cowboys via Bills and Raiders): VJ Payne (S, Kansas State) (signed)

Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq Undergoes ‘Minor’ Hernia Surgery, Expected Back For Camp
A little over a month into his NFL career, Jets tight end Kenyon Sadiq has already undergone his first surgery as a pro. Sadiq had “minor” hernia surgery, head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters on Thursday. Glenn expects Sadiq to be ready for the start of training camp on July 28.
The Jets spent the 16th overall pick in last month’s draft on Sadiq, but Glenn revealed they knew beforehand that he would need this surgery. The issue bothered Sadiq for some of his final season at Oregon in 2025, but he fought through it to pile up 51 catches, 560 yards and eight touchdowns in 14 games. Sadiq’s production was good enough for Big Ten Tight End of the Year honors and a second-team All-America nod.
A few weeks after his college career ended, Sadiq showed off his athletic prowess at the Combine in February and cemented himself as a first-rounder. The 6-foot-3, 245-pounder ran a 4.39-second 40-yard dash, the fastest among tight ends since at least 2003, and led his position in the 10-yard split. He also ranked second among TEs in the vertical jump, broad jump and bench press. If Sadiq wasn’t at full strength, it makes his excellent Combine performance all the more impressive.
Sadiq should be an important part of the Jets’ Frank Reich-coordinated offense as a rookie, though that’s assuming he does not miss valuable time in camp. The 21-year-old looks like the best receiver in a tight end group that also includes 2025 second-rounder Mason Taylor, who performed well during a 44-catch rookie campaign, and blocking specialist Jeremy Ruckert. The Jets also drafted another first-round pass catcher, wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr., at No. 30 overall. With Sadiq and Cooper joining holdovers in Taylor, star receiver Garrett Wilson, wideout Adonai Mitchell and dual-threat running back Breece Hall, the team clearly has more viable options in the passing game than it fielded during a 3-14 season in 2025.
