Friday’s minor transactions as we head into the weekend:

Atlanta Falcons

Signed: WR Dylan Drummond

Buffalo Bills

Deemed international roster exemption: T Travis Clayton

Carolina Panthers

Released: RB Tarik Cohen
Waived: WR Jalen Camp, TE Chris Pierce Jr.
Waived (with injured designation): RB Spencer Brown, T Ilm Manning, DT Raequan Williams
Waived (with non-football injury designation): CB AJ Parker

Dallas Cowboys

Deemed international roster exemption: DT Denzel Daxon

Denver Broncos

Deemed international roster exemption: TE Thomas Yassmin

Houston Texans

Waived: RB Gerrid Doaks

Indianapolis Colts

Waived: WR Terrell Bynum

Miami Dolphins

Deemed international roster exemption: T Bayron Matos

New York Giants

Waived (with injured designation): RB Deon Jackson

Cohen hasn’t appeared in an NFL game since his time in Chicago, where he earned first-team All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors as a punt returner, ended in 2020. The North Carolina A&T product had been part of an effective 1-2 punch with Jordan Howard but saw his role diminish with the arrival of David Montgomery in 2019. Since then, injuries have limited the explosive rusher’s ability to make an impact.

The Dolphins are among the teams which have unveiled their class of undrafted rookies ahead of minicamps. Here are Miami’s additions:

Je’Quan Burton, WR (FAU)
Jordan Colbert, S (Rhode Island)
Storm Duck, CB (Louisville)
Gavin Hardison, QB (UTEP)
Isaiah Johnson, CB (Syracuse)
Matthew Jones, OL (Ohio State)
Bayron Matos, T (USF)
Andrew Meyer, OL (UTEP)
Grayson Murphy, EDGE (UCLA)
Leonard Payne, DT (Colorado)
Mark Perry, S (TCU)
Hayden Rucci, TE (Wisconsin)

Matos is amongst the highest earners around the league with respect to guaranteed compensation given to undrafted rookies this year. Miami gave him $225K in guaranteed salary as well as a $22K signing bonus, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC2. Meyer also secured a notable commitment ($75K), Wilson notes. Offensive line depth has been a talking point for Miami, and Matos and Meyer will aim to earn roster spots with the team this summer.

Wilson reports Perry drew considerable attention around the league before choosing to sign with the Dolphins. The Colorado transfer earned $150K guaranteed, including a $15K signing bonus. Perry spent the past two seasons with the Horned Frogs, amassing 142 tackles (including 9.5 for loss) and six pass deflections along the way. He could earn a backup job in the secondary while contributing on special teams.

Duck was also a top target of the Dolphins, as evidenced by his up front compensation. The 6-0, 205-pounder received a $20K signing bonus and $150K in total guarantees, per Wilson. Duck transferred from North Carolina to Louisville last offseason. In his single campaign with the Cardinals, he posted 32 tackles and seven pass breakups and he will look to parlay that into a least a practice squad spot.
