Raiders Trim Roster To 53

August 31st, 2021 at 4:56pm CST by Sam Robinson

Some of the Raiders’ cuts became known earlier Tuesday, with the team parting ways with Karl Joseph and John Brown. Here are the rest of the moves Las Vegas made to reach the 53-man roster limit:

Released:

Waived:

LB Asmar Bilal (waived/injured)
TE Matt Bushman
G Lester Cotton
DT Matt Dickerson
WR Keelan Doss
TE Alex Ellis (waived/injured)
RB B.J. Emmons
DE Gerri Green
RB Garrett Groshek
OT Devery Hamilton
CB Isaiah Johnson
OL Jaryd Jones-Smith
S Dallin Leavitt
C Jimmy Morrissey
OL Jeremiah Poutasi
RB Trey Ragas
LB Max Richardson
DT Niles Scott
WR Dillon Stoner
WR D.J. Turner
DE Kendal Vickers

Several of these players will be invited to stick around on Las Vegas’ practice squad, with the NFL greenlighting a second year of 16-man taxi squads. The Raiders’ cutting Brown and Doss keeps Willie Snead and Zay Jones on their active roster. Johnson played a part-time role on the Raiders’ defense last season, while Carrier has been with the team for the past four years. The Raiders re-signed him in March. Wreh-Wilson was aiming to catch on for a ninth NFL season, and while the former Titans and Falcons cornerback may do so, the Raiders halted his effort to land on their initial 53-man roster.

Titans Sign 22 UDFAs

May 11th, 2018 at 10:12am CST by Zachary Links

The Titans have signed a host of undrafted free agents to their offseason roster. Here’s the full rundown:

P/K Austin Barnard (Samford)
WR Cameron Batson (Texas Tech)
WR Deontay Burnett (USC)
RB Dalyn Dawkins (Colorado State)
ILB Nick DeLuca (North Dakota State)
OT Matthew Diaz (Wagner)
DE Matt Dickerson (UCLA)
C Nico Falah (USC)
OLB Sharif Finch (Temple)
CB Rico Gafford (Wyoming)
CB Elijaah Goins (Ohio State)
S Joshua Kalu (Nebraska)
CB Ryan McKinley (Montana)
OT Elijah Nkansah (Toledo)
DT Mike Ramsay (Duke)
RB Larry Rose (New Mexico State)
WR Devin Ross (Colorado)
OG Aaron Stinnie (James Madison)
WR Jordan Veasy (California)
RB Akrum Wadley (Iowa)
S Damon Webb (Ohio State)
TE Ethan Wolf (Tennessee)

Finch received a larger-than-average $42K guarantee to sign with the Titans (as noted by NFL.com’s Tom Pelissero, on Twitter), so he may have a better shot than most of making the final cut. Finch, a 6’5″, 250-pound edge rusher, recorded five blocked punts at Temple using his exceptional wingspan. While he lacks pass rushing technique, the Titans probably feel that he has potential as a special teams contributor.

The Titans had only a four-man draft class this year, which necessitated a large UDFA class.
