Jets Make 23 Moves, Reach 53-Man Limit

September 2nd, 2017 at 4:37pm CST by Zachary Links

The Jets waived 17 players, released three, placed two on the suspended list, and waived/injured one player in order to reach the 53-man maximum. Here’s the complete breakdown:

Waived:

Anthony Firkser, RB
Romar Morris, RB
Jahad Thomas, RB
Frankie Hammond, WR
Gabe Marks, WR
Dan Williams, WR
Alex Balducci, OL
Chris Bordelon, OL
Ben Braden, OL
Javarius Leamon, OL
Patrick Gamble, DL
Deon Simon, DL
Lawrence Thomas, DL
Frank Beltre, LB
Connor Harris, LB
Xavier Coleman, DB
Robenson Therezie, DB

Reserve/Suspended:

Jalin Marshall, WR (reserve/suspended)
Austin Seferian-Jenkins, TE (reserve/suspended)

Waived/Injured:

Lucky Whitehead, WR (waived/injured)

Released:

Kenbrell Thompkins, WR (released)
Shamarko Thomas, DB (released)
Tanner Purdum, LS (released)

Purdum was the longest-tenured player on the Jets’ roster, but he wasn’t performing up to standards this offseason. When the Jets acquired long snapper Thomas Hennessy in a trade with the Colts in late August, it was clear that Purdum’s time with the organization was coming to a close.

Cowboys Sign 2 Quarterbacks

May 12th, 2017 at 1:58pm CST by Zachary Links

The Cowboys have added a host of undrafted free agents, including two quarterbacks. Here’s the full list plus some details on the team’s newest signal callers:

Austin Appleby, QB (Florida)
Woody Baron, DT (Virginia Tech)
Brian Brown, WR (Richmond)
Michael Coe, C (North Dakota)
Kennan Gilchrist, LB (Appalachian State)
Blake Jarwin, TE (Oklahoma State)
Joseph Jones, LB (Northwestern)
Levon Myers, OT (Northern Illinois)
Lewis Neal, DE (LSU)
Cooper Rush, QB (Central Michigan)
Nate Theaker, G (Wayne State)
Jahad Thomas, RB (Temple)
Lucas Wacha, LB (Wyoming)

Appleby started out at Purdue but transferred to Florida for his final collegiate season. In 2016, he threw for ten touchdowns against seven interceptions with a 60.8% completion percentage in his nine games. It probably wasn’t as strong of a showing as he would have liked before shifting his focus to the NFL. Rush, meanwhile, started in all four seasons at Central Michigan and received high praise for his football IQ during the draft process.

Both players will compete for a spot behind Dak Prescott and Kellen Moore. It’s not clear whether the Cowboys want to carry three QBs on the roster, but it helps that the team did not select any QBs in the draft.

Jarwin will received a higher-than-average bonus of $15K, per Tom Pelissero of USA Today (on Twitter).
