    Sunday NFL Transactions: AFC East

    By | at September 6, 2015 5:08 pm

    Listed below are the Sunday roster moves for the four AFC East teams. Following the 53-man roster cutdown deadline yesterday, many teams will make slight tweaks to their rosters, claiming players off waivers or signing guys who clear waivers. Those transactions for the Bills, Dolphins, Patriots, and Jets are noted below.

    Additionally, as of 11:00am today, teams can begin constructing their 10-man practice squads. For the 2014 and 2015 seasons, changes were made to practice squad rules that allow teams to carry eight players instead of 10, and the eligibility requirements for those extra two spots were also loosened. You can check out our glossary entry on practice squads to brush up on those changes, as well as all the other guidelines that govern the 10-man units, whose players practice with the team but aren’t eligible to suit up on Sundays.

    Here are Sunday’s AFC East transactions, which will continue to be updated throughout the day:

    Jets Add Nine UDFAs; Corey Hilliard Retires

    By | at May 8, 2015 9:12 pm

    9:12pm: The Jets also added cornerback Greg Henderson, an undrafted free agent out of Colorado, according to ESPN’s Rich Cimini on Twitter.

    12:32pm: The Jets have been busy today, announcing several roster moves as their rookie minicamp gets underway. In addition to signing eight undrafted free agents, the team has also cut two players, and will be working out former first-round wide receiver A.J. Jenkins this weekend.

    The team has also seen an offseason addition decide to retire — offensive tackle Corey Hilliard, who signed with the Jets in March, has elected to call it a career.

    The 30-year-old saw his 2014 season come to an early end when he sustained a Lisfranc foot injury and tore ligaments in that foot during the Lions’ Week 1 game. It was the second time in three years that he missed essentially an entire season, which likely prompted his early retirement, but he had been effective as a swing tackle when he was healthy. In 2013, Hilliard played 459 offensive snaps for Detroit, starting seven games at right tackle for the team.

    Here are the rest of the roster moves for the Jets:

    Undrafted free agents:

    • Deion Barnes, DE, Penn State
    • Durell Eskridge, S, Syracuse ($8.5K bonus, plus $5K guaranteed salary, per Aaron Wilson)
    • Julian Howsare, LB, Clarion
    • Taiwan Jones, LB, Michigan State
    • Demarkus Perkins, S, Florida International
    • Wes Saxton, TE, South Alabama
    • Davon Walls, DL, Lincoln ($15K bonus, per Wilson)
    • Jordan Williams, DE, Tennessee
