Cardinals Cut 10 Players

August 30th, 2021 at 9:57am CST by Zachary Links

The Cardinals got a jump on their roster housekeeping today. In advance of Tuesday’s 53-man deadline, they cut:

OL Shaq Calhoun
RB Tavien Feaster
WR KeeSean Johnson
OL Michal Menet
DL Cam Murray
CB Picasso Nelson
WR A.J. Richardson
LB Evan Weaver
P Ryan Winslow
LB Bryson Young

Johnson, a 2019 sixth-rounder, was pushing for the final wide receiver slot on the Week 1 roster. Instead, he was leapfrogged by Andy Isabella, Greg Dortch, and Antoine Wesley. All three are still on the roster as of this writing, but nothing is guaranteed for any of them beyond tomorrow. Johnson, 25 in October, registered 15 catches for 173 yards in eight games last year.

Bengals Waive G Alex Redmond

September 6th, 2020 at 11:46am CST by Rory Parks

The Bengals have waived guard Alex Redmond, per Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network (via Twitter). In a corresponding move, the team has claimed Shaq Calhoun off waivers from the Dolphins, as Ian Rapoport of NFL.com tweets.

Signed as an undrafted free agent in 2016, Redmond worked his way onto the Bengals’ roster and eventually earned a starting spot along the team’s offensive front. In 2018, Redmond started 15 games for Cincinnati, though he was not particularly effective. He was suspended for the first four games of the 2019 season for violating the league’s PED policy, and he ultimately appeared in just three games (two starts) last season due to the suspension and injury.

In Calhoun, the Bengals are getting a slightly younger player to provide O-line depth. The Mississippi State product signed with Miami as a UDFA last year and ultimately played in 10 games (seven starts). According to Pro Football Focus’ advanced metrics, Calhourn struggled in both pass-blocking and run-blocking, but clearly Cincinnati — which has top waiver priority — saw something it liked.

Dolphins Sign 18 UDFAs

May 10th, 2019 at 1:54pm CST by Dallas Robinson

We’ll wrap up the 2019 undrated free agent process with the Dolphins, who have announced the signing of the following 18 UDFAs:

Ryan Anderson, C (Wake Forrest)
Shaq Calhoun, G (Mississippi State)
Wesley Farnsworth, LS (Nevada)
Terrill Hanks, LB (New Mexico State)
Montre Hartage, DB (Northwestern)
Dewayne Hendrix, DE (Pittsburgh)
Tyler Horton, CB (Boise State)
Trenton Irwin, WR (Stanford)
Patrick Laird, RB (California)
Jonathan Ledbetter, DE (Georgia)
Aaron Monteiro, T (Boston College)
Chris Myarick, TE (Temple)
Nik Needham, CB (UTEP)
Rob Rolle, S (Villanova)
Cory Thomas, DT (Mississippi State)
Tre’ Watson, LB (Maryland)
Preston Williams, WR (Colorado State)
Stone Wilson, P (FIU)

Most evaluators pegged Miami’s six-draft class as mediocre, but the Dolphins may have hit it out of the park with their undrafted free agents, as Thor Nystrom of Rotoworld ranked the Dolphins’ UDFAs as the second-best crop in the NFL (behind only the Saints). Calhoun is particularly interesting, as the poor state of Miami’s interior offensive line could give him a real chance at a roster spot. Williams, who was barred from testing at the scouting combine due to a 2017 altercation with a woman, is another Dolphins UDFA with a shot to make the 53-man roster, as Brad Kelly of The Draft Network writes.
