Minor Moves: Redskins, Ravens

We’ll round up today’s minor transactions right here, including signings and cuts of players who haven’t seen much or any NFL action, and players accepting and signing contract tenders from their respective teams. Here are Tuesday’s minor moves:

  • The Redskins have cut defensive end Brandon Moore, writes Aaron Wilson of the National Football Post. Moore, a former Texas Longhorn, spent most of the 2013 season on the Chargers’ practice squad before signing a futures/reserve deal with the Chiefs for 2014. The 21-year-old was cut by Kansas City and snapped up on waivers by Washington last month, but was recently hit with a four-game suspension for 2014 for violation of the NFL’s substance abuse policy.
  • Safety Omar Brown has signed his exclusive rights free agent tender from the Ravens, the team announced today (via Twitter). Brown, who appeared briefly in just one game for Baltimore in 2013, will be in line for a $570K salary.

Redskins Claim Brandon Moore Off Waivers

The Redskins have claimed Brandon Moore off waivers from the Chiefs, according to the league’s official transactions log (Twitter link via ESPN.com’s Adam Caplan).

Moore, a former Texas Longhorn, spent most of the 2013 season on the Chargers’ practice squad before signing a futures/reserve deal with the Chiefs for 2014. He was waived by Kansas City on Friday.

Chiefs Sign Chris Owens, Waive Brandon Moore

Cornerback Chris Owens has signed a deal to become a member of the Chiefs, reports Terez Paylor of the Kansas City Star (via Twitter). Adam Teicher of ESPN also reported the signing (via Twitter). The team has also decided to release defensive tackle Brandon Moore.

Owens has played six years in the NFL, with the Dolphins, Falcons, and Browns. Teicher added that the signing was curious, because at 5’9″ he is undersized compared to what the Chiefs are looking for in the secondary under this regime.
