Today’s minor moves around the NFL:

Arizona Cardinals

Signed: CB Cortez Davis
Released: CB Nate Brooks

Atlanta Falcons

Placed on IR: DL Bryce Rodgers

Cleveland Browns

Signed: LB Jordan Kunaszyk
Waived: LB Silas Kelly

Indianapolis Colts

Tennessee Titans

Waived: CB Kenneth George
Waived (injury designation): S Michael Griffin

Washington Commanders

Signed: WR Matt Cole

Perry’s interesting post-draft NFL journey continues. Initially slated to join the Eagles as a UDFA, he ended up signing with the Jaguars days later. Then, in July, he was waived (with an injury designation) to make room for Sloter’s addition. Perry has obviously recovered, as the two have now swapped placed once more.

Fenton was one of four Chiefs placed on the PUP list at the start of training camp. That came as little surprise at the time, but his return to practice will be a welcomed sight in Kansas City’s secondary. NFL Network’s James Palmer tweets that Fenton’s preseason availability remains a question mark, but that he is still expected to be fully recovered in time for the regular season.

Jackson was a fifth-round pick in this year’s draft at a position which has been in flux throughout the offseason in New Orleans. The 24-year-old had a highly productive final season in particular at Appalachian State, posting 119 tackles, 20 TFLs and six sacks. He will now have to wait until 2023 to carve out a depth role in the middle of the Saints’ defense.

Browns Announce 12 UDFA Signings

May 13th, 2022 at 10:16pm CST by Ely Allen

This morning, the Browns officially announced the addition of 12 undrafted free agents to their rookie class:

D’Anthony Bell, S (West Florida)
Junior Faulk, CB (Delta State)
Mike Harley Jr., WR (Miami)
Travell Harris, WR (Washington State)
Brock Hoffman, C (Virginia Tech)
Shaun Jolly, CB (Appalachian State)
Silas Kelly, LB (Coastal Carolina)
Glen Logan, DT (LSU)
Zaire Mitchell-Paden, TE (Florida Atlantic)
Roderick Perry II, DT (Illinois)
Ben Petrula, OT (Boston College)
Isaiah Weston, WR (Northern Iowa)

Harley leaves the Hurricanes as the school’s all-time leader in career receptions (182, surpassing former Colts receiver Reggie Wayne) and single-game receptions (13). He’ll be joined in Cleveland by the Cougars’ receptions and receiving-touchdowns leader from last season, Travell Harris.

Logan spent six years in Baton Rouge, playing a key role in the Tigers’ run to their 2019 National Championship victory over Clemson, contributing a half-sack in the title game.

Jolly provides some electric ability at corner. He’s an aggressive cornerback who returned two picks for touchdowns in 2019. Jolly adds 25 passes defensed and 2 forced fumbles over his 45-game college career.
