Sam Schlueter - Pro Football Rumors

Minor NFL Transactions: 8/2/23

August 2nd, 2023 at 7:07pm CST by Ely Allen

Here are today’s minor transactions from around the league:

Carolina Panthers

Placed on PUP: DL John Penisini

Denver Broncos

Placed on IR: WR Tim Patrick (story)

Detroit Lions

Signed: TE Darrell Daniels, TE Daniel Helm
Placed on PUP: CB Emmanuel Moseley
Waived: TE Derrick Deese

Green Bay Packers

Claimed off waivers (from Panthers): LB Arron Mosby
Waived: OLB LaDarius Hamilton

Houston Texans

Released: DE Demone Harris

Kansas City Chiefs

Activated from PUP: DL Tershawn Wharton

Las Vegas Raiders

Waived: LB Kana’i Mauga

Miami Dolphins

Waived/injured: S Bennett Williams
Waived: P Michael Turk

Minnesota Vikings

Signed: T Christian DiLauro
Waived/injured: OL Sam Schlueter

New England Patriots

Waived: WR Ed Lee

New Orleans Saints

Signed: G Tommy Kraemer
Claimed off waivers (from Packers): G Chuck Filiaga
Placed on IR: LB Andrew Dowell
Waived/injured: T Scott Lashley

Pittsburgh Steelers

Signed: CB Isaiah Dunn, S Trenton Thompson
Placed on IR: CB Cory Trice
Waived/injured: RB Alfonzo Graham

Tennessee Titans

Signed: C Jimmy Murray
Waived: WR Jacob Copeland

Moseley reportedly had a small clean-up procedure on his knee the other day as he continues to come back from last year’s ACL tear. According to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press, it doesn’t appear to be a major setback, and head coach Dan Campbell expects Moseley back on Monday.

The news on Harris’s retirement comes from KPRC 2’s Aaron Wilson, who reports that the two sides “are parting ways as (Harris) plans to retire.” If this is truly the end of the road for Harris, then the transaction puts a cap on a five-year career that saw Harris rack up 11 total tackles, two tackles for loss, and three quarterback hits in the NFL.

Turk was urgently brought on as an undrafted rookie out of Oklahoma to compete with free agent addition Jake Bailey, formerly with the Patriots. The punter competition may be over quickly as Bailey is the only punter on the roster now.

Trice, the Steelers’ first of two seventh-round picks this year, suffered a non-contact injury at camp yesterday. His placement on injured reserve indicates that his rookie season has unfortunately come to an end before it had the chance to begin.

Minor NFL Transactions: 5/16/23

XFL additions and other post-rookie minicamp moves led to some action on the waiver wire Tuesday. As other teams add talent from the latest XFL effort, here are the latest NFL moves:

Atlanta Falcons

Placed on IR: RB B.J. Baylor

Carolina Panthers

Signed: LB Ayinde Eley, DL Antwuan Jackson, WR Gary Jennings, WR Marquez Stevenson, LB/TE Jordan Thomas
Waived/injured: S Nico Bolden

Cleveland Browns

Signed: CB Chris Westry

Detroit Lions

Signed: K John Parker Romo

Green Bay Packers

Claimed (from Dolphins): T DJ Scaife

Houston Texans

Signed: LB Ian Swenson

Jacksonville Jaguars

Signed: TE Sammis Reyes
Released: S Deionte Thompson

Los Angeles Rams

Claimed (from Saints): DB Vincent Gray

Minnesota Vikings

Signed: FB Zach Ojile, OL Sam Schlueter

New York Giants

Released from PUP (via injury settlement): S Terrell Burgess

New York Jets

Claimed (from Falcons): CB Javelin Guidry

Philadelphia Eagles

Signed: WR Charleston Rambo
Waived: T Jarrid Williams

Pittsburgh Steelers

Claimed (from Cardinals): DL Manny Jones
Placed on IR: DT Renell Wren

A former 60-meter dash finalist at the U.S. Indoor Track and Field Championships, Guidry has bounced around the league. But the Jets are bringing back the young cornerback. Guidry played 28 games for the team from 2020-21. A fellow DB, Westry started two games for the Ravens in 2021; he will relocate to Cleveland.

Jackson, Jennings and Thomas all played in the XFL this season and auditioned for the Panthers at their recent rookie minicamp. The Panthers tried Thomas at both tight end and linebacker over the weekend. Although Thomas played in the most recent XFL effort, he was in Colts camp — under current Panthers HC Frank Reich — in 2021. This is Jennings’ seventh NFL stop. The former Seahawks fourth-round pick has not played in the NFL since his 2019 rookie year in Seattle.

Romo joins a Lions team carrying Michael Badgley as its incumbent kicker. The younger specialist has not yet kicked in an NFL game, but the former Virginia Tech kicker played in the XFL this season, making 17 of 19 field goal tries. This included a 57-yarder.

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.

49ers Sign 14 Undrafted Free Agents

May 2nd, 2022 at 8:58pm CST by Ben Levine

The 49ers were busy following the draft, agreeing to terms with 14 undrafted free agents:

Kevin Atkins, DL (Fresno State)
Jeremiah Gemmel, LB (North Carolina)
Tayler Hawkins, S (San Diego State)
Qwuantrezz Knight, CB (UCLA)
Taysir Mack, WR (Pittsburgh)
Tay Martin, WR (Oklahoma State)
Jordan Mason, RB (Georgia Tech)
Marcelino McCrary-Ball, LB (Indiana)
Segun Olubi, LB (San Diego State)
Leon O’Neal Jr., S (Texas A&M)
Jason Poe, OL (Mercer)
Sam Schlueter, OL (Minnesota)
Garrett Walston, TE (North Carolina)
Dohnovan West, OL (Arizona State)

Dohnovan West was one of the highest-paid UDFAs in the league, earning $100K guaranteed (per Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com on Twitter). The offensive lineman was a standout during his time at Arizona State, and some pundits predicted that he’d be selected just outside of the top-100. Instead, the player went undrafted, and now he’ll have a chance to compete for a spot in San Francisco.

Meanwhile, the 49ers gave Leon O’Neal $60K guaranteed (per Wilson on Twitter) and Jeremiah Gemmel $90K guaranteed (per Wilson on Twitter).
