Minor NFL Transactions: 8/9/22

August 9th, 2022 at 8:56pm CST by Adam La Rose

Today’s minor moves around the NFL:

Arizona Cardinals

Signed: CB Cortez Davis
Released: CB Nate Brooks

Atlanta Falcons

Placed on IR: DL Bryce Rodgers

Cleveland Browns

Signed: LB Jordan Kunaszyk
Waived: LB Silas Kelly

Indianapolis Colts

Released via injury settlement: WR John Hurst

Jacksonville Jaguars

Signed: QB EJ Perry
Waived: QB Kyle Sloter

Kansas City Chiefs

Activated from PUP list: CB Rashad Fenton

New Orleans Saints

Activated from PUP list: DE Marcus Davenport (story)
Signed: DE T.J. Carter
Placed on IR: LB D’Marco Jackson and CB Dylan Mabin

New York Jets

Signed: OL Chris Glaser
Released: DE Hamilcar Rashed and OL Parker Ferguson

Pittsburgh Steelers

Placed on IR: DE T.D. Moultry

Tennessee Titans

Signed: S Elijah Benton and S Adrian Colbert
Waived: CB Kenneth George
Waived (injury designation): S Michael Griffin

Washington Commanders

Signed: WR Matt Cole

Perry’s interesting post-draft NFL journey continues. Initially slated to join the Eagles as a UDFA, he ended up signing with the Jaguars days later. Then, in July, he was waived (with an injury designation) to make room for Sloter’s addition. Perry has obviously recovered, as the two have now swapped placed once more.

Fenton was one of four Chiefs placed on the PUP list at the start of training camp. That came as little surprise at the time, but his return to practice will be a welcomed sight in Kansas City’s secondary. NFL Network’s James Palmer tweets that Fenton’s preseason availability remains a question mark, but that he is still expected to be fully recovered in time for the regular season.

Jackson was a fifth-round pick in this year’s draft at a position which has been in flux throughout the offseason in New Orleans. The 24-year-old had a highly productive final season in particular at Appalachian State, posting 119 tackles, 20 TFLs and six sacks. He will now have to wait until 2023 to carve out a depth role in the middle of the Saints’ defense.

Broncos Sign 13 Undrafted Free Agents

May 12th, 2022 at 9:19pm CST by Ben Levine

The Broncos have been busy signing their draft picks in recent days, but that didn’t stop the front office from adding 13 undrafted free agents to their roster:

OLB Christopher Allen, Alabama
CB Cortez Davis, Hawaii
WR Kaden Davis, Northwest Missouri
OT Sebastian Gutierrez, Minot State
WR Brandon Johnson, UCF
ILB Kana’i Mauga, USC
RB Tyreik McAllister, Charleston
CB Ja’Quan McMillian, East Carolina
G Michael Niese, Temple
TE Dylan Parham, NC State
WR Jalen Virgil, Appalachian State
TE Rodney Williams, Tennessee-Martin
ILB Kadofi Wright, Buffalo

Allen got a chunk of money to join Denver, earning $180K in guaranteed money (per Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com on Twitter). The linebacker had a productive collegiate career, earning two National Championships during his time at Alabama. He also earned a second-team All-SEC nod in 2020 after finishing with 24 tackles and six sacks. He missed his entire rookie season after suffering a broken foot, leading to him going undrafted.

Meanwhile, Mike Klis of 9News in Denver tweets that McMillian got $75K, while Mauga got $60K guaranteed (Twitter link).
