William Bradley-King - Pro Football Rumors

NFL Practice Squad Updates: 8/30/24

August 30th, 2024 at 9:02pm CST by Adam La Rose

Many teams used Friday to make further adjustments to their practice squads. Here is the full breakdown:

Baltimore Ravens

Signed: OLB Adedayo Odeleye

Carolina Panthers

Signed: QB John Wolford, WR Deon Cain, OL Brandon Walton
Released: S Alex Cook, DT Walter Palmore, OL Mason Brooks

Denver Broncos

Signed: LB Levelle Bailey

Green Bay Packers

Signed: FB Andrew Beck, CB Kamal Hadden, RB La’Mical Perine
Placed on IR: RB Nate McCrary

Jacksonville Jaguars

Signed: QB John Rhys Plumlee

Kansas City Chiefs

Signed: CB Nic Jones, DT Marlon Tuipulotu
Released: RB Emani Bailey

Las Vegas Raiders

Signed: CB M.J. Devonshire

Los Angeles Chargers

Signed: RB Jaret Patterson
Released: RB Isaiah Spiller

Los Angeles Rams

Signed: DT Cory Durden
Released: DT Tuli Letuligasenoa

Miami Dolphins

Signed: OLB William Bradley-King, T Anderson Hardy, RB Deneric Prince

New England Patriots

Signed: CB Isaiah Bolden, LB Ochaun Mathis

New York Giants

Signed: S Gervarrius Owens
Released: LB K.J. Cloyd

New York Jets

Signed: WR Jason Brownlee
Released: WR Lance McCutcheon

Philadelphia Eagles

Signed: S JT Woods

Pittsburgh Steelers

Signed: OL John Leglue, OL Doug Nester, LB Devin Harper, LB Adetokunbo Ogundeji, WR Brandon Johnson

Seattle Seahawks

Signed: LB Tyreke Smith

Wolford’s seven regular season appearances to date have all come with the Rams. The 28-year-old spent last season with the Buccaneers, though, working with then-offensive coordinator Dave Canales. Canales is now the head coach in Carolina, and Wolford has followed him in a bid to earn a 53-man roster spot at some point during the season. The Panthers already had Jack Plummer on their taxi squad, but Wolford will offer Canales and Co. a more familiar option behind Bryce Young and Andy Dalton.

Patriots Cut 14 Players

August 26th, 2024 at 5:17pm CST by Ben Levine

The Patriots have started the process of reducing their roster to 53 players. The team announced that the following 14 players have been cut:

Released:

TE La’Michael Pettway

Waived:

LS Tucker Addington
WR Kawaan Baker
DE William Bradley-King
DT Josiah Bronson
LB Steele Chambers
RB Deshaun Fenwick
CB Azizi Hearn
OT Zuri Henry
DE Christian McCarroll
DT Sam Roberts
C Charles Turner
CB Mikey Victor
TE Jacob Warren

With Sam Roberts off the team, the Patriots have now officially moved on from half of their 2022 draft class (and more subtractions, including QB Bailey Zappe, are surely coming). The former sixth-round pick struggled to carve out a role during his two seasons in New England, appearing in only 12 games. He did manage to appear in a career-high 100 defensive snaps this past season, but he was still limited to only five total tackles.

The team also moved on from defensive lineman Josiah Bronson, who joined the team a few days into camp. Despite Christian Barmore expected to be sidelined for the first chunk of the season, the veteran Bronson was unable to carve out a role. The 27-year-old will now look to revive his career elsewhere, but after being limited to only one game over the past two seasons, his opportunities may be running dry.

Kawaan Baker was facing an uphill battle to make the roster behind the likes of Tyquan Thornton, Kayshon Boutte, Jalen Reagor, Ja’Lynn Polk, and Javon Baker. The former Saints draft pick got into a pair of games as a rookie, contributing a single special teams tackle.

Minor NFL Transactions: 9/11/23

September 11th, 2023 at 7:27pm CST by Ely Allen

Here are today’s minor moves following the first NFL Sunday of the season, including a gameday elevation for the first Monday Night Football game of the year:

Atlanta Falcons

Waived: RB Godwin Igwebuike

Carolina Panthers

Signed to active roster: T David Sharpe

Chicago Bears

Signed: LB Dylan Cole

Denver Broncos

Waived from IR with injury settlement: DT Forrest Merrill

New York Jets

Promoted from practice squad: LB Sam Eguavoen

Washington Commanders

Waived: DE William Bradley-King

Minor NFL Transactions: 9/8/23

September 8th, 2023 at 6:55pm CST by Ely Allen

Here are some minor transactions for today from around the league:

Atlanta Falcons

Released from IR with injury settlement: CB Cornell Armstrong

Carolina Panthers

Signed to active roster: LB Chandler Wooten

Indianapolis Colts

Waived from IR with injury settlement: OLB JoJo Domann

Jacksonville Jaguars

Released from IR with injury settlement: T Josh Wells

Los Angeles Rams

Waived from IR with injury settlement: CB Shaun Jolly

Minnesota Vikings

Released: RB Myles Gaskin

New England Patriots

Released from IR with injury settlement: T Conor McDermott

San Francisco 49ers

Released: DE Austin Bryant

Washington Commanders

Signed: DE William Bradley-King
Placed on IR: WR Dax Milne

The releases of Armstrong and Wells are interesting. Armstrong ended last year as a starting cornerback for the Falcons but will now have to continue striving to stay in the NFL. Wells’ release ends a short reunion with the team that drafted him.

Gaskin is reportedly expected to remain in Minnesota and sign to the team’s practice squad to be elevated on Sunday. This is likely a familiar tactic teams use in order to avoid guaranteeing the full value of low-cost veterans’ salaries. Those on the 53-man roster for Week 1 will be guaranteed, while players signed to the active roster after this week will only be guaranteed 35 percent.

Bryant’s short tenure in San Francisco ends as the team makes room for Nick Bosa, who will be activated from the reserve/did not report list after signing his five-year, $170MM extension.

Milne’s move to IR could be an explanation for why the Commanders felt the need to go out and acquire Jamison Crowder following his release from New York.
