Jordan Thomas (Oklahoma) - Pro Football Rumors

Minor NFL Transactions: 8/1/24

Here are Thursday’s minor moves from around the league:

Atlanta Falcons

Signed: QB Nathan Rourke, TE Jordan Thomas
Waived: QB John Paddock, WR Daylen Baldwin

Carolina Panthers

Signed: TE Curtis Hodges
Placed on IR: TE Stephen Sullivan

Cleveland Browns

Signed: LB Caleb Johnson
Placed on IR: LB Charlie Thomas

Denver Broncos

Activated from active/NFI list: RB Blake Watson

Detroit Lions

Signed: OL Jake Burton, DL Pat O’Connor
Placed on IR: G Netane Muti

New Orleans Saints

Signed: WR Marquez Callaway
Waived/injured: TE Tommy Hudson

Rourke joins a third team this year. The Patriots waived the former CFL quarterback in May, and the Giants — after claiming him — moved him off their 90-man roster shortly after Daniel Jones received full clearance. Rourke spent most of last season with the Jaguars, catching on with the Pats late in the year. He will try to stick on a Falcons team with three QBs — Kirk Cousins, Michael Penix Jr. and Taylor Heinicke — already rostered. Heinicke expects to be jettisoned before Week 1, with the Falcons planning to keep two QBs on their active roster. Though, the veteran could have a place on Atlanta’s practice squad.

This will mark a third Callaway Saints stint. Utilized frequently during a 2021 season that featured zero Michael Thomas participation and brought back in 2023 after the Broncos and Raiders cut him, Callaway returns days after a Steelers departure. The former UDFA, who has a 698-yard 2021 season on his resume, played in three Saints games last season but did not make a catch. This comes at an interesting point, at least, with the Saints having moved on from OC Pete Carmichael en route to a Klint Kubiak hire.

Sullivan suffered a quadriceps injury, per the Panthers. The 2020 Seahawks seventh-round pick, who reunited with ex-Seattle assistant Dave Canales this offseason, has been with the Panthers for the past three seasons.

Eagles Sign 15 UDFAs

May 12th, 2018 at 8:21pm CST by Sam Robinson

One of the last teams to reveal their UDFA class, the Eagles announced 15 players comprise this group that will try to earn roster spots this year. Here’s the full rundown:

Josh Adams, RB (Notre Dame)
Asantay Brown, LB (Western Michigan)
Aaron Evans, OL (Central Florida)
Danny Ezechukwu, DE (Purdue)
Bruce Hector, DT (South Florida)
Anthony Mahoungou, WR (Purdue)
Ryan Neal, S (Southern Illinois)
Joe Ostman, DE (Central Michigan)
Ian Park, OL (Slippery Rock)
Jeremy Reaves, S (South Alabama)
Stephen Roberts, S (Auburn)
Dominick Sanders, S (Georgia)
Chandon Sullivan, CB (Georgia State)
Jordan Thomas, CB (Oklahoma)
Toby Weathersby, OL (LSU)

Representing a sizable portion of this class, four safeties will join the Eagles’ other three backup safeties — two 2017 UDFAs and veteran special-teamer Chris Maragos — in competing for roles behind Malcolm Jenkins and Rodney McLeod. However, Neal, Roberts and Reaves played cornerback as well. Roberts manned the slot at South Alabama, while Reaves earned Sun Belt defensive player of the year acclaim last season. Sanders, however, logged the most experience in being a Georgia starter for four years. He finished with 16 career interceptions. Brown also spent time at both safety and cornerback, despite being listed as a linebacker.

The Eagles also turned to smaller schools extensively here, with mid-major Division I-FBS or non-Division I programs producing eight of these 15 players. Rumors connected the Eagles to running backs in this draft. Instead, the team re-signed Darren Sproles and is bringing in a player who is coming off a 1,430-yard, nine-touchdown season with the Fighting Irish. The 213-pound Adams averaged 6.9 yards per carry as well as a true junior in 2017.

Hector received the highest base salary guarantee of this group, with the team giving him $55K guaranteed along with a $5K signing bonus. Adams received a $30K base guarantee and $25K to sign, and Sullivan a $35K base guarantee and $16K to sign (Twitter link via Ben Volin of the Boston Globe). Volin adds will see a $20K base guarantee and a $10K signing bonus. Ostman will also see $20K guaranteed, per Volin (on Twitter).
