Patriots Work Out Justin Hunter

July 22nd, 2019 at 1:52pm CST by Zachary Links

The Patriots worked out four wide receivers on Monday, according to Field Yates of ESPN.com (on Twitter). Free agents Nick Williams (Titans), Justin Hunter (Steelers), Papi White (Jaguars), and Travin Dural (Saints) all showed their stuff for the Pats, who will be without Julian Edelman for the next three weeks because of a thumb injury.

Hunter seemed to hold serious promise when he entered the league as a second round pick of the Titans in 2013. Since then, he has spent time with three other teams, with the Steelers being the most recent of the bunch. He has managed just 14 catches with the Bills, Dolphins, and Steelers between 2017 and 2018. Last year, he did not see the field. His best season came most productive season came in 2014 when he had 28 catches for 498 yards and three scores with the Titans, though he did manage four TDs with Buffalo in 2016.

Hunter and the other players won’t have the easiest path towards making the Patriots’ final cut, but one of them may have an outside opportunity to hook on with the defending champs.

Minor NFL Transactions: 5/12/19

May 12th, 2019 at 11:46am CST by Rory Parks

Here are today’s minor moves:

Detroit Lions

Signed: WRs Tom Kennedy, Jordan Smallwood
Waived: TEs Nate Becker, Donald Parham

Jacksonville Jaguars

Signed: TE Charles Jones, CB Jocquez Kalili, TE Michael Colubiale
Waived: TE Carson Meier, CB Marquez Sanford, WR Papi White
Waived/injured: S Cody Brown, DT Roderick Young

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Signed: S D’Cota Dixon

Kennedy is an interesting story, as he was taken in the third round of last year’s Major League Lacrosse Draft by the Boston Cannons, per Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com. He appeared in six games for the Cannons while also suiting up at wide receiver for Bryant University. Despite only playing two years of football at Bryant, Kennedy is eighth in school history in catches and receiving yards, and he posted 57 receptions for 888 yards and nine touchdowns in 2017. He missed four games due to injury in 2018, but he still finished with 33 catches for 410 yards and a touchdown.

Jaguars Sign 21 Undrafted Free Agents

April 28th, 2019 at 3:31pm CST by Dallas Robinson

The Jaguars have become the third NFL team — joining the Steelers and Chargers — to announced their crop of undrafted free agent signings following the conclusion of the 2019 draft. Jacksonville agreed to terms with the following 21 UDFAs:

Shane Bowman, DL (Washington)
Tyre Brady, WR (Marshall)
Khairi Clark, DT (Florida)
Michael Colubiale, WR (UCF)
Joe Giles-Harris, LB (Duke)
Donnell Greene, OL (Minnesota)
Tae Hayes, DB (Appalachian State)
Raphael Leonard, WR (Southern Illinois)
Carson Meier, TE (Oklahoma)
Picasso Nelson Jr., CB (Southern Mississippi)
Jeff Smith, WR (Boston College)
Saivion Smith, CB (Alabama)
Dredrick Snelson Jr., WR (UCF)
Bunchy Stallings, OL (Kentucky)
Marquez Stanford, CB (Murray State)
Connor Strachan, LB (Boston College)
Michael Walker, WR (Boston College)
Brandon Watson, CB (Michigan)
Papi White, WR (Ohio)
Andrew Williams, DT (Auburn)
Andrew Wingard, S (Wyoming)
Zedrick Woods, S (Ole Miss)
Roderick Young, DT (North Texas)

Saivion Smith, in particular, is an interesting addition for the Jaguars, as he’d been mentioned as a possible third-round pick earlier this year. Lance Zierlein of NFL.com pegged Smith as a Round 4 or 5 selection, noting the Alabama product’s ability as a press-man corner but cautioning that he must improve his consistency. Simth could compete for snaps behind incumbent Jacksonville corners Jalen Ramsey, A.J. Bouye, and D.J. Hayden.
