Dolphins Set Initial 53-Man Roster

August 31st, 2021 at 4:34pm CST by Andrew Ortenberg

The Dolphins have joined the club of teams to officially get down to 53 players on cutdown day. Here’s the list of of players from Miami that will be looking for new homes in the coming days:

Placed on season-ending IR:

OT Larnel Coleman

Released:

Waived:

CB Javaris Davis
RB Gerrid Doaks
CB Tino Ellis
LB Shaquem Griffin
LB Kylan Johnson
DT Benito Jones
RB Patrick Laird
DE Jonathan Ledbetter
WR Kai Locksley
WR Kirk Merritt
LB Calvin Munson
TE Chris Myarick
WR Malcolm Perry
OG Durval Queiroz Neto
RB Jordan Scarlett
QB Reid Sinnett
DE Jason Strowbridge

There are some reasonably big names on this list, including LeBlanc and Harvey-Clemons among the vested veterans getting outright released. LeBlanc played a sizable role in the Eagles’ secondary last season, and started nine games for the Bears as a rookie back in 2016. Harvey-Clemons was a decent-sized part of Washington’s defense in 2018, but his role was reduced in 2019 before he opted out of the 2020 seasons.

You’ll likely recognize some of the waiver cuts as well, including Griffin. The brother of star cornerback Shaquill Griffin, the linebacker was attempting to make the team after a few years with the Seahawks. Laird started four games for the Dolphins in 2019 and received 62 carries that year, but he was mainly a special teams guy last season.

Chiefs Sign 18 UDFAs

April 26th, 2020 at 5:33pm CST by Andrew Ortenberg

The Chiefs became the latest team to announce their undrafted free agent class:

Andre Baccellia, WR (Washington)
Maurice French, WR (Pittsburgh)
Aleva Hifo, WR (BYU)
Kalija Lipscomb, WR (Vanderbilt)
Justice Shelton‐Mosley, WR (Vanderbilt)
Cody White, WR (Michigan State)
Yasir Durant, T (Missouri)
Jovahn Fair, G (Temple)
Darryl Williams, C (Miss St.)
Tershawn Wharton, DT (Missouri S&T)
Omari Cobb, LB (Marshall)
Bryan Wright, LB (Cincinnati)
Rodney Clemons, S (SMU)
Jalen Julius, S (Ole Miss)
Hakeem Bailey, CB (West Virginia)
Javaris Davis, CB (Auburn)
Lavert Hill, CB (Michigan)
Tommy Townsend, P (Florida)

The Chiefs had to spend relatively big to get a couple of these guys. Lipscomb got $110K guaranteed and a $10K signing bonus, while Williams got $107K guaranteed and a $7K signing bonus (Twitter links via Tom Pelissero of NFL Network). This was regarded as an epic receiver class with plenty of draftable players going un-selected due to the surplus, so it’s not surprising guys like Lipscomb are landing big bonuses.

As a junior at Vandy he had 916 yards and nine touchdowns, although he took a step back last season. Williams was a three-year starter at MSU who can play guard and center.

All told, the Chiefs inked a whopping six undrafted receivers. White declared early after racking up 922 yards and six touchdowns as a senior at Michigan State. Davis was widely expected to get drafted, with NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein projecting him as a fifth-rounder and Bleacher Report’s Matt Miller having him go at the top of the sixth, so he’s a nice get as well.
