Jaguars Trim Roster To 53

September 5th, 2020 at 2:29pm CST by Sam Robinson

In addition to the cuts of quarterbacks Mike Glennon and Joshua Dobbs, here are the players the Jaguars parted ways with in order to reduce their roster to the 53-player limit.

Waived:

RB Nathan Cottrell
TE Ben Ellefson
LB Nate Evans
TE Matthew Flanagan
LB Joe Giles-Harris
WR Terry Godwin
WR Josh Hammond
OL Blake Hance
CB Amari Henderson
OL K.C. McDermott
OL Garrett McGhin
LB Parry Nickerson
LS Matt Orzech
OL Austin Pleasants
OL Ryan Pope
S J.R. Reed
WR Marvelle Ross
OL Tre’Vour Wallace-Simms

Waived/injured:

WR Michael Walker

Placed on IR:

CB Tramaine Brock (story)

Placed on reserve/COVID-19 list:

RB Ryquell Armstead

Placed on reserve/suspended list:

DT Carl Davis
DE Josh Mauro (story)

Armstead is one of six players currently on a COVID-19 list around the league. He was expected to lead a Jaguars running back committee, following Leonard Fournette‘s departure. Players can be removed from the COVID list at any point. Armstead’s status will leave Devine Ozigbo and rookie UDFA James Robinson as the Jags’ running backs. This will be a team to monitor for waiver-claim adds at running back.

Nickerson, Giles-Harris and Orzich spent time on the Jaguars’ 53-man roster last season. The players jettisoned Saturday will become practice squad candidates, at least the bulk of them, on Sunday. Teams can begin signing players to their taxi squads Sunday, and after years of P-squads residing at 10 players, they will be 16-man units in this unique season.

Redskins Get Down To 53

August 31st, 2019 at 10:20pm CST by Andrew Ortenberg

And here it is, the 32nd and final team’s roster cuts. Their most notable release was the previously announced cutting of former first-round pick Josh Doctson. Of the stuff that’s new, not much is shocking. A couple of years ago, 2017 fourth-round running back Samaje Perine was hyped up as a potential future starter. The Oklahoma product, who had 603 rushing yards as a rookie, was cut today.

Veteran receiver Brian Quick, who had 564 yards with the Rams in 2016, was let go as well. Washington also parted ways with cornerback Adonis Alexander, a Virginia Tech product who they drafted in the sixth round of the 2018 Supplemental Draft.

Here are the rest of the moves:

Waived:

LB Andrew Ankrah
DL Ryan Bee
LB B.J. Blunt
DL Jonathan Bonner
WR Jehu Chesson
DL Khairi Clark
LB Marquis Flowers
G Jerald Foster
T Blake Hance
CB Deion Harris
TE J.P. Holtz

Bills Sign Cody Ford, Five Other Draft Picks, Eight UDFAs

May 9th, 2019 at 5:42pm CST by Dallas Robinson

After signing first-round pick Ed Oliver earlier today, the Bills have signed six more draft picks and eight undrafted free agents.

Draft Picks

2-38: Cody Ford, T (Oklahoma)
3-74: Devin Singletary, RB (Florida Atlantic)
5-147: Vosean Joseph, LB (Florida)
6-181: Jaquan Johnson, S (Miami)
7-225: Darryl Johnson Jr., DE (North Carolina A&T)
7-228: Tommy Sweeney, TE (Boston College)

Ford, whom many teams had earmarked as a Day 1 selection, will give the Bills options along their revamped offensive line. He’s capable of playing either guard or tackle, so Buffalo can deploy the Oklahoma product in any number of ways. Singletary, meanwhile, becomes yet another new running back on the Bills’ roster, joining T.J. Yeldon and Frank Gore. LeSean McCoy, therefore, could potentially either become trade bait or be released.

UDFAs

Tyrel Dodson, LB (Texas A&M)
Nick Easley, WR (Iowa)
Juwan Foggie, LB (Charlotte)
Blake Hance, OL (Northwestern)
Tyree Jackson, QB (Buffalo)
Cam Lewis, CB (Buffalo)
Chase McLaughlin, K (Illinois)
David Sills, WR (West Virginia)

Jackson was widely expected to be drafted, but he was instead able to choose his destination and remain close to home. He received $75K guaranteed on his deal with the Bills, tweets Adam Schefter of ESPN.com.
