Chiefs Trade Laurent Duvernay-Tardif To Jets

November 2nd, 2021 at 2:43pm CST by Zachary Links

The Chiefs have agreed to trade guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif to the Jets, according to sources who spoke with NFL.com’s Mike Garafolo (Twitter link). In exchange, the Jets will send tight end Daniel Brown to Kansas City.

It appears that Duvernay-Tardif personally signed off on the trade, since he’s one of ~10 NFL players to have a no-trade clause. The Chiefs received — and rebuffed — calls on LDT throughout the summer, but they’ve took Gang Green up on their pre-deadline offer.

LDT was a full-time starter for the Chiefs from 2015-19, but opted out of the 2020 campaign in order to treat COVID-19 patients. The licensed medical professional has yet to play this year, due to a broken bone in his hand.

This is just the latest move in the Chiefs’ offensive line revamp. After the Bucs clobbered KC’s front five in the Super Bowl, the Chiefs swung a blockbuster deal for tackle Orlando Brown Jr. and used a second-round choice to take center Creed Humphrey. LDT was set to be a part of that lineup, but his hand injury pushed sixth-round pick Trey Smith into a first-string role instead. Although he hasn’t played since the ’19 season, LDT offers serious experience with 60 games, including 57 starts.

Brown, 29, first entered the league as an undrafted free agent out of James Madison. After stints with the Ravens and Bears, he joined up with the Jets in 2019. He’s appeared in just six games for the Jets, with the bulk of that action coming in ’19. Known more for his blocking, Brown has just 44 catches for 420 yards and two touchdowns across six-and-a-half seasons.

Wednesday NFL Transactions: AFC East

September 1st, 2021 at 6:20pm CST by Sam Robinson

Following the 53-man roster cutdown deadline Tuesday, many teams will make slight tweaks to their rosters. In addition to waiver claims, teams can begin constructing their 16-man practice squads today. These Bills, Dolphins, Jets and Patriots moves are noted below.

Here are Wednesday’s AFC East transactions, which will continue to be updated throughout the day.

Buffalo Bills

Signed:

LS Reid Ferguson

Placed on IR:

WR Marquez Stevenson

Jets Cut 26 Players, Get To Roster Limit

August 31st, 2021 at 9:21pm CST by Ben Levine

The Jets let go of 27 players today, reducing their roster to the 53-man limit. The team made the following moves:

Released

DL Ronald Blair
TE Dan Brown
TE Ryan Griffin
QB Josh Johnson
S Sharrod Neasman

Waived

RB Josh Adams
LB Aaron Adeoye
WR Lawrence Cager
S Elijah Campbell
LB Noah Dawkins
LB Milo Eifler
S J.T. Hassell
OL Grant Hermanns
DB Lamar Jackson
C Corey Levin
WR D.J. Montgomery
OL David Moore
QB James Morgan
OL Jimmy Murray
LB Del’Shawn Phillips
DL Hamilcar Rashed
DL Tanzel Smart
WR Vyncint Smith
DL Jeremiah Valoaga
OL Isaiah Williams
TE Kenny Yeboah

Placed on Reserve/PUP list

DL Kyle Phillips

The Jets added Johnson earlier this month. While the 35-year-old hasn’t appeared in an NFL game since 2018, there was some optimism that he could compete for a spot as Zach Wilson‘s backup. That ultimately wasn’t the case, and with James Morgan also getting waived, the team will roll with Mike White as the second QB.
