Minor NFL Transactions: 8/14/22

August 14th, 2022 at 5:00pm CST by Rory Parks

We will keep track of today’s minor moves here:

Arizona Cardinals

Released: DL Kingsley Keke, OL Haggai Chisom Ndubuisi, OL Greg Long, RB Ronnie Rivers, CB Breon Borders

Buffalo Bills

Released: TE Jalen Wydermyer, CB Olaijah Griffin, OL Jordan Simmons, OL Derek Kerstetter

Carolina Panthers

Released: RB Darius Bradwell, TE Nate Becker, LB Kamal Martin, OL Wyatt Miller, CB Chris Westry

Cincinnati Bengals

Waived: CB Abu Daramy-Swaray, RB Shermari Jones, WR Pooka Williams Jr.

Green Bay Packers

Signed: K Ramiz Ahmed
Released: K Gabe Brkic

New England Patriots

Signed: CB Devin Hafford

Philadelphia Eagles

Waived: OL William Dunkle, LB Ali Fayad

San Francisco 49ers

Activated from active/PUP list: TE Charlie Woerner

The most notable name amongst the Cardinals’ cuts is Keke. The 25-year-old made 17 starts with the Packers over the past two seasons, and was claimed off waivers by the Texans in February. Houston cut him in May, however, leading him to the Cardinals. In the waning months of the offseason, the 2019 fifth-rounder will need to find another NFL home in time for Week 1.

Another recent Packers draftee being let go is Martin. The 2020 fifth-rounder made six appearances last season with Carolina, playing all-but exclusively on special teams. Each of the team’s other roster cuts had yet to play in for the Panthers, including Westry, who had showed potential in 2021 when briefly starting for the Ravens.

NFL Reserve/Futures Contracts: 1/24/22

Here are Monday’s reserve/futures deals:

Atlanta Falcons

OG Rashaad Coward

Buffalo Bills

DT Brandin Bryant, OL Jacob Capra, WR Tanner Gentry , LB Joe Giles-Harris, CB Olaijah Griffin (two-year deal), CB Tim Harris, WR Isaiah Hodgins , DE Mike Love, CB Nick McCloud, TE Quintin Morris, S Josh Thomas

New Orleans Saints

RB Josh Adams, WR Kirk Merritt

Pittsburgh Steelers

WR Anthony Miller

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Tennessee Titans

S Jamal Carter, OL Christian DiLauro, TE Austin Fort, OL Derwin Gray, QB Kevin Hogan, WR Cody Hollister, LB Joe Jones, WR Mason Kinsey, OL Daniel Munyer, OL Jordan Roos, LB Tuzar Skipper

Bills Trim Roster To 53

August 31st, 2021 at 7:37pm CST by Ben Levine

The Bills cut 23 players from their roster today, making it to the 53-man limit. The team announced the following moves:

Released

OL Jordan Devey
OL Jamil Douglas
LS Reid Ferguson
T Bobby Hart
TE Jacob Hollister

Waived

As Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic points out, cutting Lewis came as a bit of a surprise considering the Bills’ lack of depth at cornerback. However, the reporter believes that today’s move is an indication that the team isn’t concerned about injuries to Levi Wallace, Dane Jackson and Taron Johnson. Lewis, a 2019 undrafted free agent, finished last season with seven tackles in five games (two starts). If he passes through waivers, he’ll likely end up on Buffalo’s practice squad.

Bills Sign 6 UDFAs

May 13th, 2021 at 5:42pm CST by Andrew Ortenberg

The Bills became the latest team to officially announce their UDFA class as rookie minicamps approach. Buffalo had a small one, only inking six guys. Here they are:

CB Olaijah Griffin, USC
CB Nick McCloud, Notre Dame
TE Quintin Morris, Bowling Green
S Tariq Thompson, SDSU
OL Syrus Tuitele, Fresno State
WR Tre Walker, San Jose State

Griffin is a cool one, since his dad is influential rapper Warren G. Buffalo signed Jacob Hollister this offseason but still don’t have a ton at tight end, so Morris could have a real chance of making the roster. He led Bowling Green in receiving the past two seasons, and had 649 yards and four touchdowns in 2019, his last full campaign.

Thompson was very productive in college as a four-year starter for the Aztecs. From his freshman-senior seasons, he racked up 11 interceptions, five fumble recoveries, and five forced fumbles. Tuitele is the cousin of current Bills defensive end A.J. Epenesa.
