There have been plenty of posts today about a number of teams releasing and waiving players ahead of roster cuts. Here are the best of the rest of the minor moves for Monday:

Carolina Panthers

Waived (with injury settlement): WR Tayvion Robinson

Cincinnati Bengals

Waived: DE Justin Blazek

Cleveland Browns

Activated from active/PUP list: S D’Anthony Bell

Detroit Lions

Waived: OLB Mitchell Agude, WR Kaden Davis, OL Bryan Hudson, RB Zonovan Knight, CB Rachad Wildgoose, TE Shane Zylstra
Released: DL Pat O’Connor, LB Ty Summers

Houston Texans

Released: DT McTelvin Agim, G Dieter Eiselen, LB Jacob Phillips

Indianapolis Colts

Waived: DE Levi Bell
Released: C Mike Panasiuk

Las Vegas Raiders

Waived: CB Demarcus Governor

New York Giants

Pittsburgh Steelers

Waived: T Tyler Beach, WR Jacob Copeland, RB Daijun Edwards, T Devery Hamilton, T Anderson Hardy, CB Kyler McMichael, DE Marquiss Spencer, CB Kiondre Thomas
Released: LB Kyahva Tezino, K Matthew Wright

San Francisco 49ers

Waived: P Pressley Harvin III, G Lewis Kidd, WR Jontre Kirklin

Seattle Seahawks

Waived: CB Willie Roberts

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Waived: DT C.J. Brewer, DL Mike Greene, CB Keenan Isaac, OLB Daniel Grzesiak, CB Chris McDonald, TE Tanner Taula, S Rashad Wisdom

Tennessee Titans

Waived (with injury designation): LB JoJo Domann, WR Tre’Shaun Harrison
Waived: T Brian Dooley, CB Tay Gowan, LB Mikel Jones, LB Thomas Rush, WR Sam Schnee, TE Steven Stilianos, P Ty Zentner

Nelson was an effective swing tackle for the Lions in the past three years. While he wasn’t able to stick with the Giants, he’s likely to draw interest elsewhere in the NFL.

The Eagles like Sam a lot at safety, but with a number of veterans atop the depth chart, there wasn’t room for him on the roster. The team plans to retain him on the practice squad should he clear waivers, per Andrew DiCecco of 975 The Fanatic. The Buccaneers have similar plans with Isaac, Taula, and Wisdom.

NFL Reserve/Futures Deals: 1/17/24

Wednesday’s reserve/futures contracts:

Cleveland Browns

LB Caleb Johnson

Dallas Cowboys

WR Martavis Bryant, RB Snoop Conner, RB Malik Davis

Indianapolis Colts

WR Terrell Bynum

Kansas City Chiefs

CB Kelvin Joseph

Miami Dolphins

WR Mathew Sexton

Pittsburgh Steelers

CB Luq Barcoo, T Tyler Beach, WR Marquez Callaway, FB Jack Colletto, T Kellen Diesch, S Jalen Elliott, G Joey Fisher, WR Dez Fitzpatrick, T Devery Hamilton, T Anderson Hardy, WR Keilahn Harris, DL Jonathan Marshall, C Ryan McCollum, WR Denzel Mims, RB Aaron Shampklin, DT Jacob Slade, WR Duece Watts

Bryant joined the Cowboys in November, and though he didn’t appear in any games, Bryant left a good impression in Dallas after several weeks on the practice squad. He was released late in the season as the team shuffled the roster a bit but makes his return to Dallas for the offseason.

Minor NFL Transactions: 8/24/23

August 24th, 2023 at 8:45pm CST by Sam Robinson

Here are Thursday’s minor moves:

Detroit Lions

Waived from IR via injury settlement: WR Denzel Mims

Green Bay Packers

Waived from IR via injury settlement: OL Jake Hanson

Houston Texans

Signed: OL Keaton Sutherland
Placed on IR: OL Kilian Zierer

Las Vegas Raiders

Waived from IR via injury settlement: T Brandon Parker

New York Giants

Waived from IR via injury settlement: OL Devery Hamilton

Philadelphia Eagles

Re-signed: T Fred Johnson

Washington Commanders

Signed: DT Anthony Montalvo

The Lions made a minor trade for Mims earlier this month, ending the former second-round pick’s unremarkable Jets tenure. But Mims struggled to catch on in Detroit as well. The Baylor alum is now headed toward free agency, should no one claim him. The Lions waived Mims with an injury designation, due to the fourth-year wideout encountering multiple ailments.

Parker landed on IR earlier this month. The Raiders will cut their former third-round pick loose. Depending on the terms of the settlement, Parker could return to the Raiders later this year. The sixth-year veteran could also land elsewhere, as this transaction will move him off Las Vegas’ IR. But the 32-game Raiders starter missed all of last season due to injury and moved out of the right tackle competition via injury once again this year.

The Eagles have circled back to Johnson quickly. After cutting the fifth-year veteran Wednesday, the defending NFC champions have him back in the fold on a two-year contract. The 26-year-old lineman had recently been promoted to second-team left tackle. Johnson started eight games for the Bengals from 2019-21.

Minor NFL Transactions: 8/16/23

August 16th, 2023 at 8:11pm CST by Ely Allen

Here are today’s minor transactions from around the NFL:

Carolina Panthers

Waived from IR with injury settlement: DE Jalen Redmond

Denver Broncos

Signed: RB Dwayne Washington
Reverted to IR: K Elliott Fry
Waived: DT Forrest Merrill

Detroit Lions

Waived from IR with injury settlement: WR Trey Quinn

Green Bay Packers

Waived from IR with injury settlement: WR Jeff Cotton

Kansas City Chiefs

Reverted to IR: CB Anthony Witherstone

Los Angeles Chargers

Signed: CB Matt Hankins
Waived/injured: CB Kemon Hall

New York Giants

Reverted to IR: T Devery Hamilton
Waived/injured: LB Troy Brown

New York Jets

Waived/injured: CB Javelin Guidry
Waived from IR with injury settlement: QB Chris Streveler

San Francisco 49ers

Released from IR with injury settlement: DE Darryl Johnson

Tennessee Titans

Signed: DT Michael Dwumfour
Waived: OLB Zach McCloud

Fry goes unclaimed on the waiver wire after being waived with an injury designation yesterday by the Broncos. This could mean that Brett Maher won’t be able to run away with the job to replace longtime kicker Brandon McManus this year. With Fry remaining on the roster, Maher will need to stay sharp in order to stay the only active kicker on the team’s depth chart.

Guidry is expected to undergo surgery after injuring his knee in a joint practice with the Buccaneers today, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. The Jets will hope he lasts through waivers as he has impressed so far in camp. If he does, New York will likely revert him to injured reserve in order to keep him on the roster.

Giants Sign OL Julién Davenport

August 15th, 2023 at 8:46pm CST by Ben Levine

The Giants are adding some depth on the offensive line. According to Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News (via Twitter), the Giants are signing offensive tackle Julién Davenport. The team also claimed linebacker Ray Wilborn off waivers from the Broncos (per NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero on Twitter) and waived/injured offensive lineman Devery Hamilton (via The Athletic’s Dan Duggan on Twitter).

Davenport worked out for the Giants alongside Lorenz Metz earlier today. The Giants ultimately opted for the more experienced of the two tryout players, and the free agent acquisition will provide more depth on New York’s offensive line. Tackle Evan Neal continues to work his way back from a concussion, and backups like Matt Peart (who has filled in as the starter opposite Andrew Thomas), Korey Cunningham, and Wyatt Davis have struggled in his stead.

Davenport brings plenty of experience, having started 32 of his 60 career games. The former fourth-round pick most recently spent time with the Bears and Cardinals but didn’t get into a game during the 2022 campaign. Davenport started four of his nine appearances with the Colts in 2021.

Wilborn has bounced around the NFL since going undrafted out of Ball State in 2020. The linebacker has had stints with the Falcons, Steelers, Packers, and Broncos, getting into two regular season games. After inking a reserve/futures deal with Denver during the offseason, he was waived by the team yesterday.

Hamilton has spent most of his career on the Giants practice squad, getting into nine games with the big-league squad. The lineman suffered an injury last week that Brian Daboll described as “not day-to-day” (Twitter link).

Minor NFL Transactions: 11/25/22

November 25th, 2022 at 7:49pm CST by Ely Allen

Today’s only minor moves heading into the weekend:

New York Giants

Waived: OL Devery Hamilton, S Trenton Thompson

Hamilton has been bounced back and forth between the active roster and practice squad this season. The former undrafted free agent from last year has earned some playing time during his sophomore season with some offensive play but mainly appears on special teams. Thompson made his NFL debut last night after getting called up for the Thanksgiving matchup with the Cowboys. The undrafted rookie out of San Diego State played solely on special teams. Both players will be available on the waiver wire through the weekend and can re-sign with the Giants if they clear waivers without getting claimed.

Minor NFL Transactions: 11/23/22

Today’s minor moves around the league:

Atlanta Falcons

Signed to active roster: WR Frank Darby

Buffalo Bills

Elevated: DE Mike Love, WR Tanner Gentry

Dallas Cowboys

Elevated: T Aviante Collins, DE Takk McKinley

Detroit Lions

Elevated: LB James Houston, C Ross Pierschbacher

Green Bay Packers

Designated for return from NFI list: T Caleb Jones
Claimed off waivers (from Rams): LB Justin Hollins
Waived: RB Patrick Taylor

Jacksonville Jaguars

Designated for return from IR: OLB K’Lavon Chaisson

Las Vegas Raiders

Designated for return from IR: CB Nate Hobbs

Los Angeles Chargers

Designated for return from IR: RB Joshua Kelley

Miami Dolphins

Signed: DT Justin Zimmer

New York Giants

Signed to active roster: OL Devery Hamilton, S Trenton Thompson
Elevated: S Terrell Burgess, OL Korey Cunningham
Waived: LB Austin Calitro, OLB Quincy Roche

Thanksgiving will mark McKinley’s Cowboys debut after he signed to Dallas’ practice squad last week. The veteran will seek to be more productive in his reunion with Dan Quinn than his previous stops following the end of his Falcons tenure, while providing depth to a Cowboys edge group which has produced a league-leading 42 sacks this season.

Hobbs returning to the fold in the near future will be a welcomed sight for the Raiders’ secondary. The 2021 fifth-rounder was a full-time starter through the first five weeks of the season before landing on IR with a broken hand. Vegas has struggled against the pass, allowing more than 247 yards per game through the air in 2022. The team has three weeks to activate him before he becomes ineligible to play again this season.
