Commanders Set 53-Man Roster

August 29th, 2023 at 5:16pm CST by Ben Levine

The Commanders have been busy reducing their roster, with the organization cutting 12 players yesterday. The team finished off their transactions today, reducing their roster to 53 players:

Released:

DT Abdullah Anderson
TE/FB Alex Armah

Waived:

T Alex Akingbulu
WR Kazmeir Allen
DE William Bradley-King
G Mason Brooks
S Terrell Burgess
CB Tariq Castro-Fields
QB Jake Fromm
RB Derrick Gore
LB De’Jon Harris
T Jaryd Jones-Smith
C Tyler Larsen
G Nolan Laufenberg
DT Benning Potoa’e
S Kendall Smith
WR Brycen Tremayne
CB Jace Whittaker
CB Nick Whiteside II
CB Rachad Wildgoose

Placed on IR:

Despite tossing a pair of touchdowns in the preseason finale, Jake Fromm earned his walking papers from the Commanders. The quarterback was already facing an uphill battle to make the roster with Sam Howell and Jacoby Brissett ahead of him on the depth chart, and he’ll certainly be a popular target if he makes it through waivers. The former fifth-round pick started a pair of games for the Giants in 2021.

Minor NFL Transactions: 2/28/23

February 28th, 2023 at 8:29pm CST by Sam Robinson

Here are Tuesday’s minor moves:

Houston Texans

Re-signed: DT Taylor Stallworth

Pittsburgh Steelers

Re-signed: LB Jamir Jones

San Francisco 49ers

Extended ERFA tender: WR Jauan Jennings

Washington Commanders

Re-signed: LB Milo Eifler, CB Rachad Wildgoose

Jennings will be back with the 49ers in 2023. As an ERFA, the former seventh-round pick had limited options. Jennings, who caught 35 passes for 416 yards last season, entered the league as a 2020 draftee but did not play that season. The 49ers will have the option of keeping the young wide receiver through the 2024 campaign; Jennings will be eligible for restricted free agency next year.

Jets Cut Roster Down To 53

August 30th, 2022 at 9:49pm CST by Ely Allen

The Jets got a head start on reducing the roster yesterday, finishing the job with a number of moves today. Here are those moves that brought them down to 53 players:

Released:

Waived:

WR Tarik Black
CB Isaiah Dunn
T Chuma Edoga (story)
OL Chris Glaser
OL Grant Hermanns
DL Jonathan Marshall
LB Hamsah Nasirildeen
OL Ross Pierschbacher
S Jason Pinnock
DL Tanzel Smart
LB DQ Thomas
TE Trevon Wesco
CB Rachad Wildgoose
TE Kenny Yeboah
DL Jabari Zuniga

Placed on reserve/injured:

FB Nick Bawden

New York has done a good job with their rookie class with every drafted rookie making the final 53. The Jets even were able to find spots on the roster for two of the six undrafted free agents they signed. Running back Zonovan Knight and safety Tony Adams will start the season on the roster after going undrafted out of NC State and Illinois, respectively.

The Jets will enter the season with three quarterbacks on the roster as second-year quarterback Zach Wilson will be backed up by veterans Joe Flacco and Mike White.

Lawrence Cager returned this offseason to the team that signed him after going undrafted out of Georgia in 2020. After spending two seasons attempting to make rosters as a wide receiver, the 6-foot-5 Cager bulked up in an attempt to transition to tight end. It appears that the position change is working so far as Cager will start the season on an active roster for the first time in his career.

New York will have a chance to make moves necessary to form their 16-man practice squad tomorrow. Any players cut today who have not vested will have to clear waivers before returning to the Jets.

Bills Trim Roster To 53

August 31st, 2021 at 7:37pm CST by Ben Levine

The Bills cut 23 players from their roster today, making it to the 53-man limit. The team announced the following moves:

Released

OL Jordan Devey
OL Jamil Douglas
LS Reid Ferguson
T Bobby Hart
TE Jacob Hollister

Waived

As Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic points out, cutting Lewis came as a bit of a surprise considering the Bills’ lack of depth at cornerback. However, the reporter believes that today’s move is an indication that the team isn’t concerned about injuries to Levi Wallace, Dane Jackson and Taron Johnson. Lewis, a 2019 undrafted free agent, finished last season with seven tackles in five games (two starts). If he passes through waivers, he’ll likely end up on Buffalo’s practice squad.
