Greg Dortch - Pro Football Rumors

Minor NFL Transactions: 12/6/25

December 6th, 2025 at 7:01pm CST by Ely Allen

Here are the minor moves and standard gameday practice squad elevations for the Week 14 Sunday slate:

Arizona Cardinals

Signed to active roster: LB Channing Tindall
Elevated: WR Jalen Brooks, WR Trent Sherfield
Placed on IR: WR Greg Dortch

Atlanta Falcons

Signed to active roster: WR Deven Thompkins
Elevated: CB C.J. Henderson

Buffalo Bills

Minnesota Vikings

Signed to active roster: QB John Wolford
Elevated: CB Dwight McGlothern Jr., DT Taki Taimani

New Orleans Saints

Elevated: WR Kevin Austin, K Charlie Smyth

New York Jets

Signed to active roster: QB Brady Cook, CB Jordan Clark
Elevated: CB Tre Brown, CB Nik Needham

Pittsburgh Steelers

Elevated: T Dylan Cook, WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling

Seattle Seahawks

Elevated: RB Velus Jones

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Elevated: S Marcus Banks

Washington Commanders

Elevated: DE DeMarcus Walker

Dort becomes Arizona’s 26th placement on injures reserve this year. The Cardinals’ receiving corps has been stretched thin with Marvin Harrison Jr. out with a heel injury and Zay Jones on injured reserve with an injured Achilles tendon.

Earning more and more responsibility over the course of his sophomore campaign, former undrafted free agent Roland-Wallace will unfortunately head to IR after starting in the Chiefs’ two most recent contests. As a roaming safety, he’s been functioning lately as a nickelback alongside the versatile pair of starting safeties behind him.

With Bosa set to miss this weekend’s game with a hamstring injury, Fox has been called up from the practice squad in Buffalo to help bolster a thin group of defensive ends.

Smyth gets the call again this week as the primary placekicker in New Orleans. He’ll be kicking in his second straight game following the team’s dismissal of Blake Grupe.

For Spector in Buffalo, this will be his third elevation this season, meaning the Bills will need to sign him to the active roster in order for him to appear in another game in 2025. The same is true of Turner in Denver, Hanson in Kansas City, and Banks in Tampa Bay. On the other side of that, Tindall in Arizona, Lewis in Jacksonville, and Cook in New York were all signed to 53-man rosters today after they used up their three allotted practice squad elevations.

Here are today’s minor moves as we head into the last weekend before the draft:

Arizona Cardinals

Signed RFA tender: WR Greg Dortch

Denver Broncos

Signed ERFA tender: S Devon Key

Houston Texans

Re-signed: TE Irv Smith Jr.

Tennessee Titans

Waived (with NFI designations): DE Khalid Duke, CB Justin Hardee

Dortch has had a couple decent seasons as a depth receiver in Arizona now. The Wake Forest product didn’t have much of a choice but to sign his restricted free agent tender and return for another year.

It’s been about five years since Smith has seen some success in the NFL. He signed late in the season with the Texans after a ton of injuries and did his job as a depth option at tight end. He returns on a one-year deal to serve as an option once again should Brevin Jordan or Cade Stover struggle with injury.

Hardee was re-signed to a one-year deal just over two weeks ago, but it appears the special teams ace won’t be sticking around in Nashville, or if he does, it will be on an injured list.

RFA/ERFA Tender Decisions: 3/12/25

March 12th, 2025 at 10:38pm CST by Sam Robinson

As the 2025 league year begins, here are the Wednesday tender decisions involving restricted and exclusive rights free agents:

RFAs

Tendered:

Cardinals: WR Greg Dortch
Chiefs: LB Jack Cochrane, DB Nazeeh Johnson
Falcons: OL Ryan Neuzil
Ravens: S Ar’Darius Washington

Nontendered:

Cardinals: S Andre Chachere, LB Jesse Luketa, T Carter O’Donnell
Eagles: WR Britain Covey
Packers: TE John FitzPatrick
Seahawks: WR Jaelon Darden

ERFAs

Tendered:

Buccaneers: DL C.J. Brewer
Cardinals: TE Travis Vokolek
Giants: LB Dyontae Johnson

Nontendered:

Seahawks: LB Josh Onujiogu, LB Josh Ross, WR Cody White

The Ravens have discussed an extension with Washington, according to The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec. For now, the safety is on Baltimore’s cap sheet at $3.26MM. A second-round tender would have cost the Ravens $5.35MM and brought back a second-round pick if the team did not match an offer sheet elsewhere. An unmatched Washington offer sheet now would not bring the Ravens any compensation. Washington started 10 games for the Ravens last season.

Minor NFL Transactions: 4/3/24

April 3rd, 2024 at 8:39pm CST by Ely Allen

Today’s minor transactions around the NFL:

Arizona Cardinals

Re-signed: WR Greg Dortch

Washington Commanders

Signed: DT Haggai Chisom Ndubuisi

Dortch was tendered as an exclusive rights free agent a month ago, essentially ensuring that the diminutive receiver would be back in 2024. He made it official today, though, signing his one-year exclusive rights tender.

Ndubuisi entered the league as a part of the NFL’s International Player Pathway Program in 2022 as an offensive lineman. After failing to make a roster, he returned to the IPPP as a defensive tackle. He spent all of 2023 on the Broncos’ practice squad and most recently spent a week and a half with the San Antonio Brahmas of the UFL. Ndubuisi will look to make his NFL debut with Washington in 2024.

RFA/ERFA Tender Decisions: 3/7/24

March 7th, 2024 at 6:19pm CST by Sam Robinson

Thursday’s tender decisions from around the NFL:

RFAs

Tendered:

Lions: TE Brock Wright

Non-tendered:

Lions: LB Anthony Pittman

ERFAs

Tendered:

Cardinals: WR Greg Dortch

Non-tendered:

Lions: DB Chase Lucas

It will cost the Lions $2.99MM to retain Wright, who will receive the right-of-first-refusal tender. That doubles as the lowest number within the three-tiered RFA tender formula. A 2021 UDFA, Wright has been a regular in Detroit; the Notre Dame alum has started 19 games with the team. He played 423 offensive snaps last season, which marked a step back from 2022 (591). The Lions’ tight end plans changed when they chose Sam LaPorta in the 2023 second round, but Wright (13 receptions, 91 yards last year) remains in the team’s 2024 blueprint.

Minor NFL Transactions: 3/10/23

March 10th, 2023 at 8:39pm CST by Adam La Rose

Today’s minor moves around the NFL:

Arizona Cardinals

Re-signed: WR Greg Dortch

Chicago Bears

Re-signed: LS Patrick Scales

Los Angeles Rams

Waived: TE Roger Carter, DB T.J. Carter, WR J.J. Koski, TE Jared Pinkney, WR Jaquarii Roberson, WR Jerreth Sterns, DE Brayden Thomas

Miami Dolphins

Re-signed: RB Salvon Ahmed

New England Patriots

Waived: P Jake Bailey
Re-signed: LB Raekwon McMillan

New Orleans Saints

Re-signed: DB J.T. Gray

New York Jets

Waived: WR Rodney Adams, DB Zane Lewis

Pittsburgh Steelers

Waived: DB Carlins Platel

Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Re-signed: G Nick Leverett

Tennessee Titans

Re-signed: LS Morgan Cox

Washington Commanders

Signed: T Drew Himmelman

Bailey has been the punter for the Patriots since the team drafted him in the fifth round in 2019. He spent some time on injured reserve this past season and looked ready to return before being suspended by the team in response to missed rehabilitation appointments. In Bailey’s absence, New England relied on former Panther Michael Palardy for the rest of the season. With Palardy set to hit free agency, the Patriots will need to figure out who will be flipping the field for them next year.

Gray has been a standout special teamer for the Saints, earning first-team All-Pro honors in 2021. His new contract will be his largest yet, a three-year, $9.6MM deal, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The deal includes $4MM guaranteed, $2.4MM at signing, and has annual playing time incentives that could pay up to $500,000 per season. The first year’s base salary of $1.1MM is fully guaranteed for injury, followed by second- and third-year base salaries of $2.5MM and $2.6MM, respectively. The new contract has an potential maximum value of $11.1MM.
