Minor NFL Transactions: 4/17/23

April 17th, 2023 at 10:12pm CST by Sam Robinson

Here are Monday’s minor moves:

Atlanta Falcons

Signed: OL Ethan Greenidge

Chicago Bears

Signed ERFA tender: DL Andrew Brown

Cleveland Browns

Signed: OL Michael Dunn
Signed ERFA tender: DB Thomas Graham, DL Ben Stille

Detroit Lions

Signed ERFA tender: TE Brock Wright, TE Shane Zylstra

Green Bay Packers

Signed RFA tender: OL Yosh Nijman

Jacksonville Jaguars

Signed ERFA tender: OL Blake Hance

Los Angeles Rams

Signed ERFA tender: CB Shaun Jolly, LB Christian Rozeboom

Minnesota Vikings

Signed: CB Joejuan Williams

New England Patriots

Signed RFA tender: CB Myles Bryant

New York Jets

Signed ERFA tender: DT Isaiah Mack

San Francisco 49ers

Signed ERFA tender: WR Jauan Jennings

Seattle Seahawks

Waived: T Jarrod Hewitt, CB Chris Steele, RB Darwin Thompson, WR Connor Wedington
Signed ERFA tender: DT Myles Adams, CB Michael Jackson, LB Jon Rhattigan

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Signed ERFA tender: G Nick Leverett

Washington Commanders

Signed RFA tender: S Jeremy Reaves

Teams with returning head coaches are now free to begin offseason workouts, leading to this high number of RFA and ERFA tenders being signed. Bryant and Reaves signed the low-end tender, while the Packers gave Nijman a second-round tender. Bryant and Reaves are tied to $2.62MM salaries; Nijman is attached to a $4.3MM number. Nijman has both played left and right tackle, settling in at the latter spot after the Packers moved Elgton Jenkins back to guard last season. ERFAs are two years from unrestricted free agency; RFAs are one year away.

An August shoulder injury cost Williams his 2022 season, but the former second-round pick was trending in the wrong direction with the Patriots. New England chose Williams 45th overall in 2019 but used him as a starter only once. New Vikings DC Brian Flores was no longer with the Pats when they drafted Williams, 25, but the team will take a flier on the Vanderbilt alum.

Minor NFL Transactions: 11/22/22

November 22nd, 2022 at 6:02pm CST by Sam Robinson

Here are Tuesday’s minor moves:

Arizona Cardinals

Released from IR: RB Jonathan Ward

Cincinnati Bengals

Waived: OL Isaiah Prince
Signed from practice squad: WR Trenton Irwin

Denver Broncos

Placed on IR: RB Chase Edmonds (story)
Signed off Browns’ practice squad: LB Dakota Allen

Indianapolis Colts

Signed off Bengals’ practice squad: DE Khalid Kareem
Waived: S Trevor Denbow

New York Giants

Signed to active roster: WR/TE Lawrence Cager

Seattle Seahawks

Designated for return: LB Jon Rhattigan

Tennessee Titans

Designated for return: K Caleb Shudak

Washington Commanders

Designated for return: LB Milo Eifler

The Bengals both designated Prince for return from IR and activated him Monday. This marks the second time this year the defending AFC champions have used one of their injury activations on a player only to waive him a day later. This first happened with Kareem, who then moved to the Bengals’ practice squad ahead of this Colts poaching. A former Dolphins sixth-rounder, Prince played in 15 Bengals games last season and started four. He has not played this year. It will be somewhat interesting if the Bengals keep Prince via a P-squad agreement, provided no waiver claims emerge.

Eifler, Rhattigan and Shudak have three weeks from Tuesday to be activated. The Seahawks, Titans and Commanders had seen their number of activation-eligible players pile up in recent weeks. Each of these teams have five injury activations remaining.

The Titans waived Week 11 kicker fill-in Josh Lambo on Monday. Primary Tennessee kicker Randy Bullock missed the game but is not on IR. Bullock suffered a calf injury during pregame warmups in Week 10. Shudak, a rookie UDFA out of Iowa who has spent the season on the Titans’ reserve/PUP list, would stand to represent insurance this week.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Reverted to IR (from waivers): WR Bug Howard

Tennessee Titans

Released via injury settlement: CB Shakur Brown

Washington Commanders

Claimed off waivers (from Jaguars): OL Wes Martin
Released: CB Channing Stribling

The biggest storyline of the day for the Giants was the injury to Johnson, but they have been busy at other positions as well. Hand was a fifth-round pick of the Vikings in 2020, making 23 appearances during his time there. He primarily played on special teams, but registered an interception and three pass breakups as a rookie. Darren Wolfson of 5 Eyewitness News tweets that Minnesota was interested in re-signing him had he cleared waivers.

The release of Akins is somewhat surprising, given the Giants’ question marks at the tight end position. The former Texans third-rounder signed just before the draft, where New York added Daniel Bellinger in the fourth round. The latter had a brief stint on the PUP list at the start of training camp, but, if healthy, could be the favorite to take on Evan Engram‘s vacated starting spot.
