Minor NFL Transactions: 2/8/17
Wednesday’s minor moves:
- The Giants have waived linebacker Uani Unga, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com (Twitter link). Unga, who missed all of last season with an undisclosed injury, racked up 59 tackles and two interceptions in a 13-appearance, three-start 2015 campaign.
- The Jets have signed free agent offensive tackle Jeff Adams, writes Randy Lange of the team’s website. The 27-year-old Adams has totaled four regular-season appearances and two starts, all of which came as a Texan from 2014-15. He finished last season on Houston’s practice squad.
- The Bengals have claimed wide receiver Chris Brown off waivers from the Cowboys, according to ESPN’s Field Yates (Twitter link). Brown, who went undrafted out of Notre Dame last year, broke his foot during training camp and spent the season on injured reserve.
- The Eagles have waived defensive lineman Connor Wujciak, tweets Yates. Like Brown, Wujciak was on IR for all of 2016 after going undrafted during the spring. Wujciak underwent shoulder surgery in August.
Cowboys Cut Five Players, Add 13 UDFAs
The Cowboys announced today that they’ve added 13 rookie free agents to their roster, but in order to squeeze all those players in under the 90-man roster limit, a handful of cuts were required.

- DE Kenneth Boatright (failed physical – neck)

With enough roster space to accommodate their full UDFA class, the Cowboys subsequently signed the following 13 players:
- DE Caleb Azubike (Vanderbilt)
- C Jake Brendel (UCLA)
- WR Chris Brown (Notre Dame)
- DT Rodney Coe (Akron)
