Troy Warner - Pro Football Rumors

Minor NFL Transactions: 8/21/22

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

Chicago Bears

Signed: FB Jake Bargas
Placed on IR: WR David Moore

Green Bay Packers

Waived: OL Ty Clary, LB Chauncey Manac

Houston Texans

Released: LB Tae Davis

Los Angeles Rams

Reverted to IR: WR J.J. Koski

New England Patriots

Waived: TE Dalton Keene

New Orleans Saints

Waived: QB K.J. Costello, RB Devine Ozigbo, K John Parker Romo

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Released: WR Vyncint Smith
Waived: S Troy Warner

Washington Commanders

Claimed (from Rams): Kendall Blanton
Placed on IR: DE Bunmi Rotimi

Moore’s placement on IR indicates that his season is over, and as James Palmer of the NFL Network tweets, a leg injury is the culprit. Moore, who signed with the Bears in April, was a useful complementary receiver in Seattle from 2018-20, and he may have had a shot to carve out a rotational role with Chicago. He was arrested on drug and weapons charges in July and could face league discipline as a result.

The Patriots made Keene the second piece of their two-tight end third round in 2020, trading up (via the Jets) to No. 104 to nab the Virginia Tech product. But neither Keene nor the No. 91 overall pick from that draft (Devin Asiasi) have made big impacts as Patriots. Keene missed all of the 2021 season due to a knee injury. In six games in 2020, Keene caught three passes for 16 yards. In the offseason following the Pats’ Day 2 tight end dive, they signed Jonnu Smith and Hunter Henry to big-ticket deals. That duo remains in place in front of Asiasi.

Rams Sign 9 UDFAs

May 2nd, 2021 at 6:08pm CST by Andrew Ortenberg

The Rams had nine picks in this weekend’s draft, but three of them were seventh-rounders and only one was in the first 100 picks. As such, their undrafted free agent class should have plenty of opportunities to make good impressions. Los Angeles became the latest team to announce their group on Sunday, inking the following nine rookies to deals:

Landen Akers, WR (Iowa State)
Alaric Jackson, OT (Iowa)
Paris Ford, S (Pittsburgh)
Jovan Grant, S (Merrimack College)
Jeremiah Haydel, WR (Texas State)
Jordan Meredith, OL (Western Kentucky)
Max Roberts, OLB (Boston College)
George Silvanic, DT (Air Force)
Troy Warner, S (BYU)

The Rams surprised everybody by drafting three receivers, but that didn’t stop them from signing another two. The fact they signed three safeties would seem to indicate one of those guys has a decent chance of cracking the roster. Warner might have a real shot since Aaron Wilson tweets that he got a $12.5K signing bonus. He’s also the brother of star 49ers linebacker Fred Warner, who the Rams are quite familiar with.

Jackson got a $20K signing bonus, Wilson tweets, and since the Rams also shocked everybody by not drafting an offensive lineman, he could gave a good chance as well. He was a first-team All-Big Ten selection this past year, and started 42 games at left tackle for Iowa. He was a projected sixth-round pick by Lance Zierlein of NFL.com.
