Minor NFL Transactions: 8/8/25

Friday’s minor moves around the NFL:

Buffalo Bills

Dallas Cowboys

Indianapolis Colts

Kansas City Chiefs

  • Released from IR via injury settlement: CB Darius Rush

San Francisco 49ers

Tampa Bay Buccaneers 

Bills kicker Tyler Bass is currently dealing with pelvic area soreness, ESPN’s Alaina Getzenberg notes. As a result, the team recently worked out a number of free agents to handle kicking duties during tomorrow’s preseason game. Davis – an undrafted rookie – was recently waived by the Jets, but he will get at least one opportunity to audition for a roster spot.

Ahmed was recently taken down in a Colts practice by a hip-drop tackle. As a result, ESPN’s Adam Schefter and Stephen Holder report the veteran suffered an ankle injury. Ahmed’s attention will turn to rehabbing the ailment; unless he is released by way of an injury settlement, he will not play in 2025.

Jets Sign K Nick Folk

Nick Folk is back in place with the Jets. The veteran kicker signed on Tuesday, head coach Aaron Glenn announced.

Today’s move comes after Folk took part in a free agent visit (as noted by Brian Costello of the New York Post). The 40-year-old’s meeting with the team has resulted in an agreement in short order. Two kickers were in place for the Jets as of yesterday, but one of them – undrafted rookie Caden Davis – has been waived.

Folk was in New York from 2010-16. The early portion of that span included less-than-stellar success rates on field goal attempts (but still an improvement from his final season with the Cowboys). Starting in 2013, Folk connected on at least 81.3% of his field goal tries for the remainder of his stint with the Jets.

That was followed by a brief string of appearances with the Buccaneers, and (after not playing in 2018) a run of success with the Patriots. Folk was good on over 89% of his field goal attempts with New England, a team which added Chad Ryland in the fourth round of the 2023 draft. In a move which came as little surprise based on that investment, the Pats released Folk and went with Ryland – who struggled mightily during his rookie campaign and lasted only one year in New England.

Folk caught on with the Titans and remained there for the past two seasons. Despite concerns about a drop-off due to age, the Arizona product led the NFL in field goal percentage during his debut Tennessee campaign. Folk did the same last year, and he made it clear after the season ended that he intended to continue his career in 2025. That will not come about with the Titans, but a familiar landing spot has emerged in time for a training camp competition.

At the age of 40, Folk will of course not be seen as a long-term answer for the Jets as they seek a post-Greg Zuerlein kicker. Zurlein was released in May, creating a vacancy at the position after he occupied it for three years. Folk has 242 games to his name, making him far more of a known commodity than his competition for the gig. New York also has Harrison Mevis – who signed with the Panthers as a UDFA last spring but did not see any game time – in the fold. He will spend the remainder of camp attempting to fend off a challenge from one of the league’s most experienced producers at the position.

Jets Sign 15 UDFA Rookies

The Jets announced the completion of their 22-man rookie class this weekend. Joining the seven drafted players will be the following 15 undrafted free agent signings:

The Jets spent a ton on undrafted free agent guarantees in order to get the guys they wanted this year, according to multiple reports from Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2. The largest of these deals went to Wiegand, who Wilson reports got $249K in guarantees comprised of $234K in base salary and a $15K signing bonus. Weston was next with $200K in guarantees. Skinner received $185K in guaranteed money, Edwards received $170K, (Dean) Clark received $160K ($140K in base salary, $20K in signing bonus), and Mulbah received $100K.

After spending a year at UCF in 2021, Wiegand went to Germany and played in the European League of Football. Most recently, he played for the Munich Ravens, whose offensive line coach just happens to be Browns Hall of Fame legend Joe Thomas. Wiegand caught the eyes of several scouts when he churned out 38 bench press reps of 225 pounds at his pro day, five more than the combine’s best participant. Coming from overseas, Wiegand was granted a roster exemption as a member of the International Player Pathway program.

Despite all the money getting thrown around for priority free agents, Edwards was really the only one projected to be selected late in Day 3. He didn’t take over as a starter for the Wolverines until his senior season and never broke 1,000 rushing yards. His best season came in 2022, when he was the “two” in the one-two punch with Blake Corum. He totaled 991 rushing yards and seven touchdowns that year while averaging an incredible 7.1 yards per carry. His abilities as a receiver could help him continue his role as a change-of-pace back in the NFL.

Miller arrived in Piscataway as an FCS star, having just earned first-team All-American and first-team All-CAA honors as a team captain for Monmouth with 90 catches for 1,293 yards and nine touchdowns. His final collegiate season was plagued by drops (10), but his 59 catches for 757 yards still led the Scarlet Knights in both categories.
