Today’s minor moves around the NFL:

Arizona Cardinals

Re-signed: WR Greg Dortch

Chicago Bears

Re-signed: LS Patrick Scales

Los Angeles Rams

Waived: TE Roger Carter, DB T.J. Carter, WR J.J. Koski, TE Jared Pinkney, WR Jaquarii Roberson, WR Jerreth Sterns, DE Brayden Thomas

Pittsburgh Steelers

Bailey has been the punter for the Patriots since the team drafted him in the fifth round in 2019. He spent some time on injured reserve this past season and looked ready to return before being suspended by the team in response to missed rehabilitation appointments. In Bailey’s absence, New England relied on former Panther Michael Palardy for the rest of the season. With Palardy set to hit free agency, the Patriots will need to figure out who will be flipping the field for them next year.

Gray has been a standout special teamer for the Saints, earning first-team All-Pro honors in 2021. His new contract will be his largest yet, a three-year, $9.6MM deal, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The deal includes $4MM guaranteed, $2.4MM at signing, and has annual playing time incentives that could pay up to $500,000 per season. The first year’s base salary of $1.1MM is fully guaranteed for injury, followed by second- and third-year base salaries of $2.5MM and $2.6MM, respectively. The new contract has an potential maximum value of $11.1MM.

Rams Reduce Roster To 53 Players

August 30th, 2022 at 8:42pm CST by Ben Levine

As the Rams look to defend their Super Bowl title, the team reduced their roster to the 53-man limit today:

Jacob Harris getting cut came as a bit of a surprise after the 2021 fourth-round pick got into nine games as a rookie. However, he rarely got a look on offense in 2021, and despite the Rams only rostering two tight ends at the end of the day (Tyler Higbee, Brycen Hopkins), Harris was let go. Chris Garrett was also a 2021 draft pick, being selected by the Rams in the seventh round. He only got into one game as a rook.

AJ Arcuri was a seventh-round pick in this year’s draft, but the rookie didn’t show enough to crack the 53-man roster. There’s a good chance the Michigan State product lands back on the Rams practice squad.

Rams Bring In 17 UDFAs

May 4th, 2022 at 6:16pm CST by Sam Robinson

The Rams are the latest team to unveil their crop of undrafted free agents. Here are the 17 UDFAs who have officially signed on with the defending Super Bowl champions:

TE Roger Carter, Georgia State
CB T.J. Carter, TCU
CB Caesar Dancy-Williams, Wisconsin
P Cameron Dicker, Texas
IDL Elijah Garcia, Rice
OLB Andrzej Hughes-Murray, Oregon State
ILB Jake Hummel, Iowa State
S Dan Isom, Washington State
CB Duron Lowe, Liberty
WR Lance McCutcheon, Montana State
S Jairon McVea, Baylor
IDL Dion Novil, North Texas
TE Jamal Pettigrew, McNeese State
G Jack Snyder, San Jose State
OLB Brayden Thomas, North Dakota State
OLB Keir Thomas, Florida State
OLB Benton Whitley, Holy Cross

Texas’ kicker for the past four seasons, Dicker is listed as a punter despite only punting in two of those four. Dicker served as the Longhorns’ full-time punter last season but only logged eight punts prior to that senior year. Dicker averaged 46.8 yards per boot last season, earning first-team All-Big 12 acclaim. The Rams cut 10-year punter Johnny Hekker but signed Riley Dixon later this offseason.

Although the four outside linebackers in this year’s crop should not necessarily be connected to the team’s loss of Von Miller in free agency, this quartet joins a team that used one draft choice (a seventh-rounder at that) on the edge spot. Thomas, who teamed with first-rounder Jermaine Johnson at Florida State last season, used his COVID-19-enabled extra season after playing five years at South Carolina. Thomas recorded 6.5 sacks and 12.5 tackles for loss last season. Brayden Thomas and Hughes-Murray also spent six years in college. They registered nine and six sacks as seniors, respectively.

The Rams pursued UDFA quarterbacks, per The Athletic’s Jourdan Rodrigue, and plan to add one before camp (Twitter link). John Wolford and 2020 UDFA Bryce Perkins comprise Matthew Stafford‘s backup contingent. Jamal Pettigrew is a cousin of former Lions first-rounder Brandon Pettigrew. Jamal transferred from LSU, where he played a backup role on the Tigers’ unbeaten national championship team, to McNeese State and played 18 games — seven in the spring due to COVID adjustments — last year. Counting the draft, the Rams added six rookie cornerbacks
