Giants Sign WRs Isaiah Ford, Keelan Doss

June 7th, 2022 at 12:42pm CST by Sam Robinson

Already rostering one of the NFL’s more interesting receiver stables, the Giants added some depth to that group Tuesday. They signed wideouts Isaiah Ford and Keelan Doss, according to NorthJersey.com’s Art Stapleton (on Twitter).

Both have been mostly backups or practice squad performers since coming into the league, though Ford has seen some run as a Dolphins auxiliary target. A former Dolphins seventh-round pick, Ford was traded to the Patriots just before the 2020 deadline. But the Pats never deployed him in a game and waived him not long after the deal, leading Ford back to the Dolphins via free agency barely a month later. He closed his second Miami stint last season.

A Virginia Tech product, Ford has 63 receptions for 681 yards and two touchdowns (both of which coming last season) over the past three years. Doss, a former UDFA out of California-Davis, enjoyed some Hard Knocks fame during the Raiders’ 2019 training camp but did not make an impact with his then-hometown team. Doss caught 11 passes for 133 yards as a rookie. He spent last season on the Falcons and Jets’ practice squads.

The Giants agreed to a reworked contract with Sterling Shepard, keeping the veteran slot receiver ahead of his seventh season. Kenny Golladay, Darius Slayton and Kadarius Toney are also back. The latter two have each been mentioned in trade rumors, though Slayton — a three-year contributor going into a contract year — profiles as the more logical trade candidate. New York’s new regime selected slot player Wan’Dale Robinson in Round 2 this year, crowding the team’s receiver room for the time being.

Dolphins Activate QB Tua Tagovailoa Off IR

October 16th, 2021 at 8:16am CST by Ben Levine

Tua Tagovailoa is officially back. The Dolphins have activated the quarterback off injured reserve. While Michael David Smith of ProFootballTalk.com observes that Tagovailoa is listed as questionable, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network tweets that the QB will start tomorrow in London.

Tua hasn’t played since suffering a rib injury during Miami’s Week 2 loss to the Bills. He was placed on IR in late September, and he was designated to return from IR earlier this week. While the QB got a week of practice under his belt, it was still uncertain if the organization would fly the former first-round pick across the Atlantic Ocean in order to play the winless Jaguars in London tomorrow. Ultimately, it sounds like Tagovailoa will be under center for his squad at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The former fifth-overall pick started nine of his 10 games last season, completing 64.1-percent of his passes for 1,814 yards, 11 touchdowns, and only five interceptions. He also added another 109 yards and three touchdowns on the ground. He threw a touchdown and rushed for another during the Dolphins’ Week 1 victory over the Patriots, and he completed one of his four pass attempts in Week 2 before exiting.

Jacoby Brissett has been filling in as the starting QB in Tua’s absence, throwing four touchdowns in three starts.

The Dolphins made two additional moves this morning, promoting wideouts Isaiah Ford and Kirk Merritt from the practice squad.

Dolphins To Cut OT Jermaine Eluemunor

August 24th, 2021 at 3:07pm CST by Sam Robinson

The Dolphins will cap Jermaine Eluemunor‘s Miami stay at less than three months. After signing the veteran tackle in June, the team opted to cut him on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com tweets. Miami is also placing wide receiver Lynn Bowden on IR, per Pelissero (on Twitter).

Eluemunor, who spent the past two seasons with the Patriots, was vying for a backup tackle gig in Miami. The Dolphins have done some shuffling on their offensive line, but they will move on without the four-year veteran ahead of the deadline for teams to cut their rosters down to 80 players.

This move comes days after the team acquired third-year tackle Greg Little from the Panthers. The Dolphins have now parted ways with multiple veteran O-linemen since the start of training camp. They placed D.J. Fluker on IR and reached an injury settlement to jettison the guard.

Eluemunor started eight games for the Pats last season, filling in for a team that again was down Isaiah Wynn for a stretch and one that lost Marcus Cannon to an opt-out choice. Pro Football Focus graded Eluemunor as a middle-of-the-road tackle, slotting him 47th at the position in 419 snaps. Eluemunor visited the Broncos earlier this year, but Denver opted to sign Bobby Massie and Cameron Fleming to fill its Ja’Wuan James-created void at right tackle.

The Dolphins acquired Bowden from the Raiders last summer, marking a strange NFL path for the 2020 third-round pick. Bowden contributed in a few Fins games, catching 28 passes for 211 yards for a receiver-deficient team. Miami expanded its wideout group this year, signing Will Fuller and drafting Jaylen Waddle in Round 1. Albert Wilson‘s return gave the Dolphins more depth, and Bowden was battling for a roster spot.

While the Dolphins could keep Bowden on IR all season and develop him, players who land on IR at this time of the year are often subsequently released from teams’ injury lists via injury-settlement payments. It is unclear if the Dolphins play to remove Bowden from IR via that transaction, but Tuesday’s move ensures he cannot play for the team in 2021.

The Dolphins also waived wideouts Robert Foster and Isaiah Ford, cutting the former with an injury designation.

RFA/ERFA Tender Decisions: 3/14/21

March 14th, 2021 at 8:06pm CST by Andrew Ortenberg

Teams have until March 17 to extend tender offers to their restricted free agents and exclusive rights free agents. Some teams are already making their calls in advance of March 17. We’ll keep tabs on the latest here:

RFAs

Non-Tendered: 

Both of these guys will now be hitting unrestricted free agency. Yelder signed with the Saints as an UDFA in 2018, and was added to the Chiefs’ practice squad later that year. He got meaningful playing time in 2020, mostly as a blocker, playing around 18 percent of the offensive snaps for Kansas City last season. He had only seven catches for 36 yards.

Ford was drafted by the Dolphins in the seventh-round back in 2017, then was traded to the Patriots this past November but quickly re-signed by Miami after New England cut him a month later. This one is mildly surprising since Ford played a real role on offense for the Dolphins the past two years, catching 51 passes for 520 yards in 18 games between 2019-20.
