Workout Notes: Titans, Brown, Johnson, Dixon

October 21st, 2015 at 4:46pm CST by Zachary Links

Just over seven months after he announced his retirement from the NFL, cornerback Cortland Finnegan had a workout today with the Patriots. Finnegan, 31, was one of the league’s worst cornerbacks in 2013, according to Pro Football Focus’ advanced metrics. PFF ranked Finnegan 109th out of 110 qualified corners, with a grade of -19.7 in just seven games. As such, it came as a bit of a surprise when Miami inked the former Ram to a two-year, $11MM deal in 2014. He might not be worthy of that kind of pay, but he could make for an intriguing depth option for the Pats or another team.

Here’s a rundown of today’s other workouts from around the NFL, with all links going to Aaron Wilson of the National Football Post on Twitter, unless noted otherwise..

The Titans worked out running backs Bryce Brown, Storm Johnson, George Arkinson and quarterback Michael German (link).

Today’s workouts and visits from around the NFL..

Seahawks Confirm McCray Trade, Set Roster

September 5th, 2015 at 5:05pm CST by Luke Adams

The Seahawks have confirmed one of their two recently-reported acquisitions, announcing that they’ve traded for safety Kelcie McCray, sending a fifth-round draft pick to the Chiefs in the swap, as we heard earlier. According to Mike Garafolo of FOX Sports (via Twitter), the deal for McCray is a public sign of what the team has privately told Kam Chancellor: Seattle isn’t willing to negotiate with him.

We’re still awaiting official word on Seattle’s reported agreement with running back Fred Jackson, so an additional cut will be required when that move is finalized. For now though, the Seahawks are down to 53 players. Via a team release, here’s how they got there:

Released:

CB Will Blackmon
TE Anthony McCoy

Waived:

LB Tyrell Adams
TE Rashaun Allen
QB R.J. Archer
DE Obum Gwacham
S Keenan Lambert
S Ronald Martin
DT T.Y. McGill
CB Douglas McNeil
OL Keavon Milton
S Ryan Murphy
OL Will Pericak
LB Eric Pinkins
OL Terry Poole
LB Alex Singleton
WR Kevin Smith
RB Rod Smith
DE Julius Warmsley
WR Kasen Williams

Placed on injured reserve:

CB Mohammed Seisay
RB Robert Turbin

Placed on reserve/non-football illness list:

DT Jesse Williams

Seahawks Sign 11 To Futures Contracts

February 4th, 2015 at 4:06pm CST by Luke Adams

With their season now in the books, the Seahawks have become the latest team to announce their initial wave of reserve/futures signings for 2015. Bob Condotta of the Seattle has the details, tweeting that the club announced 11 signings, with all of those players coming from the end-of-year practice squad. Here’s the complete list of signees, via Condotta (Twitter links):

Rashaun Allen, TE
Dion Bailey, S
Demitrius Bronson, RB
Nate Isles, T
Douglas McNeil, WR (previously reported)
Drew Nowak, G
Justin Renfrow, G
Ryan Robinson, DE
Jimmy Staten, DT
Julius Warmsley, DE
Mike Zimmer, LB

Nine of those signees finished the 2014 season on Seattle’s active practice squad, while Bronson and Warmsley had landed on the taxi squad’s IR list. Of the players who finished the year on the unit, only linebacker Allen Bradford remains unsigned.

Minor Moves: Wednesday

February 4th, 2015 at 2:35pm CST by Luke Adams

We’ll round up Wednesday’s minor transactions from around the NFL in this space, with the latest moves added to the top of the list throughout the day:

Cornerback Al Louis-Jean has re-signed with the Bears on a two-year deal, the team announced today (via Twitter). An undrafted free agent, Louis-Jean remained under team control, but didn’t have a contract for 2015, as an exclusive rights free agent. The 21-year-old recorded nine tackles and one pass defended as a rookie in 2014.
The Seahawks have signed wide receiver Douglas McNeil to a three-year reserve/futures contract, reports Aaron Wilson of the Baltimore Sun (via Twitter). McNeil, who spent some time on the Broncos’ practice squad earlier in the season, finished the season on Seattle’s taxi squad. With Seattle’s season now over, I expect we’ll see the club lock up several more of its PS players very soon.
In addition to naming a defensive coordinator today, the Cardinals also made a small roster move, signing free agent safety D.J. Campbell, according to Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com (via Twitter). Cut before the 2014 season by the 49ers, Campbell last player a regular season game in 2013 for the Dolphins.
