Jarrid Williams - Pro Football Rumors

Minor NFL Transactions: 5/16/23

May 16th, 2023 at 6:19pm CST by Sam Robinson

XFL additions and other post-rookie minicamp moves led to some action on the waiver wire Tuesday. As other teams add talent from the latest XFL effort, here are the latest NFL moves:

Atlanta Falcons

Placed on IR: RB B.J. Baylor

Carolina Panthers

Signed: LB Ayinde Eley, DL Antwuan Jackson, WR Gary Jennings, WR Marquez Stevenson, LB/TE Jordan Thomas
Waived/injured: S Nico Bolden

Cleveland Browns

Signed: CB Chris Westry

Detroit Lions

Signed: K John Parker Romo

Green Bay Packers

Claimed (from Dolphins): T DJ Scaife

Houston Texans

Signed: LB Ian Swenson

Jacksonville Jaguars

Signed: TE Sammis Reyes
Released: S Deionte Thompson

Los Angeles Rams

Claimed (from Saints): DB Vincent Gray

Minnesota Vikings

Signed: FB Zach Ojile, OL Sam Schlueter

New York Giants

Released from PUP (via injury settlement): S Terrell Burgess

New York Jets

Claimed (from Falcons): CB Javelin Guidry

Philadelphia Eagles

Signed: WR Charleston Rambo
Waived: T Jarrid Williams

Pittsburgh Steelers

Claimed (from Cardinals): DL Manny Jones
Placed on IR: DT Renell Wren

A former 60-meter dash finalist at the U.S. Indoor Track and Field Championships, Guidry has bounced around the league. But the Jets are bringing back the young cornerback. Guidry played 28 games for the team from 2020-21. A fellow DB, Westry started two games for the Ravens in 2021; he will relocate to Cleveland.

Jackson, Jennings and Thomas all played in the XFL this season and auditioned for the Panthers at their recent rookie minicamp. The Panthers tried Thomas at both tight end and linebacker over the weekend. Although Thomas played in the most recent XFL effort, he was in Colts camp — under current Panthers HC Frank Reich — in 2021. This is Jennings’ seventh NFL stop. The former Seahawks fourth-round pick has not played in the NFL since his 2019 rookie year in Seattle.

Romo joins a Lions team carrying Michael Badgley as its incumbent kicker. The younger specialist has not yet kicked in an NFL game, but the former Virginia Tech kicker played in the XFL this season, making 17 of 19 field goal tries. This included a 57-yarder.

Minor NFL Transactions: 8/7/22

August 7th, 2022 at 8:05pm CST by Rory Parks

We will keep track of today’s minor moves right here:

Atlanta Falcons

Signed: DL Abdullah Anderson
Placed on IR: DL Vincent Taylor

Buffalo Bills

Activated from active/NFI list: G Rodger Saffold

Chicago Bears

Placed on IR: LB Christian Albright (from waived/injured)
Waived/injured: LB C.J. Avery

Cincinnati Bengals

Activated from active/PUP list: DE Khalid Kareem

Green Bay Packers

Activated from active/NFI list: CB Keisean Nixon

Jacksonville Jaguars

Signed: RB Matt Colburn
Waived/injured: RB Nathan Cottrell

New York Giants

Signed: OL Eric Smith

Philadelphia Eagles

Signed: OT Jarrid Williams

Washington Commanders

Signed: TE Eli Wolf, S Steven Parker
Released: QB Cole Kelley, LB Bryce Notree
Waived/injured: WR Jequez Ezzard

Saffold landed on the NFI list after injuring his ribs in a car accident. Getting their starting left guard back sooner rather than later is an important development for the Bills.

Colburn will take the place of Cottrell in the Jags’ RB room. The Wake Forest product played in four games for the USFL’s Philadelphia Stars this year, garnering 102 rushes for 457 yards (just under 4.5 YPC) and eight scores.

Cottrell has seen action in each of the past two years for Jacksonville, returning seven kicks in 2020 and handling one carry in 2021.

Wolf and Parker get preseason roster positions after successful workouts yesterday. The Commanders are looking for depth at both positions as they work towards a 53-man roster.

NFL Workouts: 7/29/22

July 29th, 2022 at 9:00pm CST by Ely Allen

Here’s a list of minor players who visited or worked out for an NFL team today:

Carolina Panthers

CB Quenton Meeks, CB Isaiah Johnson, CB Duke Dawson (signed)

Green Bay Packers

OT Jarrid Williams

Houston Texans

DE Chris Odom, DB KiShawn Walker, DT Lorenzo Neal, DB Antoine Brooks

Jacksonville Jaguars

K Elliott Fry (signed), K Chase McLaughlin, K Matt Ammendola, K Brandon Aubrey

Las Vegas Raiders

LB Curtis Bolton, LB Omari Cobb

New York Giants

RB Devontae Booker (story)

Pittsburgh Steelers

RB Jordan Howard, RB Josh Adams, DT Mike Panasiuk, DT Hauati Pututau

Washington Commanders

OT Tyree St. Louis, OT Alex Akingbulu, OT Rashod Hill

Howard had recently also worked out for the Saints, along with Bo Scarbrough, according to Nick Underhill at New Orleans Football Network. Howard has bounced between Philadelphia and Miami with limited success since averaging 1,123 rushing yards per season and totaling 24 rushing touchdowns in his first three seasons with the Bears. Injuries and limited productivity have really hurt Howard’s success over the past three years.

Eagles Add 11 UDFAs

May 6th, 2022 at 3:18pm CST by Sam Robinson

After their best-known 2022 undrafted free agent became known over the weekend (Nevada quarterback Carson Strong), the Eagles announced the rest of their UDFA class. Here is that 11-man contingent:

Josh Blackwell, CB (Duke)
Reed Blankenship, S (Middle Tennessee)
Kennedy Brooks, RB (Oklahoma)
Britain Covey, WR, (Utah)
William Dunkle, OL (San Diego State)
Noah Elliss, DT (Idaho)
Ali Fayad, LB (Western Michigan)
Mario Goodrich, CB (Clemson)
Josh Jobe, CB (Alabama)
Josh Sills, OL (Oklahoma State)
Jarrid Williams, OL (Miami)

The Oklahoma backfield continues to produce NFL talent, with Brooks having teamed with the likes of Rhamondre Stevenson and Trey Sermon during his days in Norman. Brooks is one of the rare Sooners to rip off three 1,000-yard rushing seasons during his time at the Big 12 program, notching the first of those slates as a true freshman in a Kyler Murray-led offense. Rather than turning pro after his 2020 COVID-19-related opt-out, Brooks returned to school for his senior season and amassed a career-high 1,253 rushing yards.

Brooks has a path to a potential role with the Eagles, who did not draft a running back and who have starter Miles Sanders entering a contract year. Behind Sanders, the team returns Boston Scott and 2021 fifth-rounder Kenneth Gainwell.

A guard at San Diego State, Dunkle did not allow a sack in 30 games at the Mountain West school. Sills started at four positions up front for Oklahoma State, while Williams will enter the NFL after spending six seasons in college (five at Houston, one as Miami’s starting right tackle). Covey tops that, having been in college since 2015. The 5-foot-8 wideout notched three return touchdowns for the Utes last year. Philly’s class also houses the 2021 Mid-American Conference Defensive Player of the Year (Fayad) and the son of longtime Lions defensive tackle Luther Elliss. Sporting a 346-pound frame, Noah Elliss was a three-year starter at Idaho.

The Eagles gave Elliss $250K guaranteed, while Goodrich — a first-team All-ACC cornerback and reigning Cheez-It Bowl MVP — received a $217K guarantee (per Pro Football Focus’ Doug Kyed, on Twitter). Blackwell will see a $137.5K guarantee, ProFootballNetwork.com’s Aaron Wilson tweets, while Kyed adds (via Twitter) Sills will collect $135K guaranteed. The Eagles are guaranteeing Dunkle $110K, Kyed tweets.
