Arizona Cardinals
Tuesday: Waived WR Michael Ray Garvin from IR.
Atlanta Falcons
Baltimore Ravens
Buffalo Bills
Thursday: Placed CB Leodis McKelvin on IR, activated RB Marshawn Lynch off
suspended list.
Comments: It will be interesting to see if teams pick on veteran CB Drayton
Florence, who is expected to replace McKelvin. Florence struggled in coverage
with the Jaguars and Chargers.
Carolina Panthers
Thursday: Signed DT Hollis Thomas, waived DT Ra'Shon Harris.
Comments: Thomas will give the Panthers badly needed veteran depth on the
interior of their defensive line.
Chicago Bears
Tuesday: Signed LB Darrell McClover, waived CB DeAngelo Smith.
Wednesday: Signed CB Woodny Turenne to practice squad, released G Johan Asiata
from practice squad.
Cincinnati Bengals
Cleveland Browns
Tuesday: Added RB Cedric Peerman to the practice squad, released CB Marquis
Floyd from practice squad.
Saturday: Placed RB James Davis on IR, signed RB Chris Jennings off practice
squad.
Comments: Big loss for Cleveland as Davis could have pushed starting RB Jamal
Lewis for playing time later in the season.
Dallas Cowboys
Saturday: Signed RB Chauncey Washington off practice squad, waived S Marvin
White.
Comments: The move was expected so the team could have at least two healthy
backs available for this week's game.
Denver Broncos
Detroit Lions
Tuesday: Waived CB Marcus McCauley, signed DT Chuck Darby, added CB DeAndre
Wright to practice squad, added WR Taurus Johnson to practice squad, released WR
John Broussard from practice squad, released TE Carson Butler from practice
squad.
Wednesday: Waived KR/PR Yamon Figurs, signed KR Adam Jennings.
Friday: Waived RB Allen Ervin from IR.
Comments: McCauley was a former third-round pick of the Vikings. Darby gives the
Lions some badly needed depth for the interior of their defensive line.
Green Bay Packers
Tuesday: Signed G Stanley Daniels to practice squad, released OT Dane Randolph
from practice squad.
Houston Texans
Tuesday: Released RB Antone Smith from practice squad.
Wednesday: Signed LB Khary Campbell, placed LB Chaun Thompson on IR, signed
TE/LS Clark Harris to practice squad.
Indianapolis Colts
Tuesday: Added TE Tom Santi to practice squad, released TE Colin Cloherty from
practice squad.
Wednesday: Signed G Jaimie Thomas to practice squad, released WR Samuel Giguere
from practice squad.
Saturday: Signed RB Mike Hart off practice squad, waived RB Chad Simpson.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Monday: Signed DE Bryan Smith off St. Louis Rams practice squad, waived DE
Jeremy Navarre, waived CB Kennard Cox.
Tuesday: Signed DT Greg Peterson, waived DE Robert Henderson, released LB Justin
Roland from practice squad.
Wednesday: Signed DE Jeremy Navarre to practice squad, signed CB Kennard Cox to
practice squad.
Comments: Some scouts felt Smith was a better fit for a 3-4 scheme such as the
Jaguars are using most of the time on defense.
Kansas City Chiefs
Tuesday: Traded QB Tyler Thigpen to Miami Dolphins for 2010 draft pick, signed
TE Leonard Pope, signed OT Chris Patrick to practice squad, released ILB Monty
Beisel, released CB Ricardo Colclough, released TE Tom Crabtree from practice
squad.
Wednesday: Signed LB David Herron, signed CB Mike Richardson.
Comments: Thigpen fell to No. 3 on the depth chart, so the move makes sense. The
team is high on rookie undrafted free agent LB Jovan Belcher, so the release of
Beisel isn't a big surprise.
Miami Dolphins
Tuesday: Acquired QB Tyler Thigpen from Kansas City Chiefs for 2010 draft
pick, placed QB Chad Pennington on IR, added LB K.C. Asiodu to practice squad,
released LB Danny Lansanah from practice squad.
Comments: The other two healthy QBs on their roster have zero starts, so
acquiring another quarterback had to be done. However, his success has come
mostly out of shotgun formation.
Minnesota Vikings
Tuesday: Waived OL Kory Lichtensteiger, signed OL Jon Cooper from practice
squad, signed OT Patrick Brown to practice squad, released WR Nick Moore from
practice squad.
Wednesday: Signed WR Vinny Perretta to practice squad.
New England Patriots
Monday: Signed DT Terdell Sands, waived LB Prescott Burgess.
Wednesday: Signed LB Prescott Burgess to practice squad, released DT Adrian
Grady from practice squad.
Comments: Sands was signed because of the injury to starting NT Vince Wilfork.
When motivated, Sands is capable of being an effective run-stopper for 15-20
plays/game. A source said the Ravens had interest in signing Burgess.
New Orleans Saints
Tuesday: Placed OLT Jammal Brown on IR, signed OL Nick Leckey.
Wednesday: Signed OT Renardo Foster to practice squad.
Comments: Backup OT Jermon Bushrod will continue to start for Brown.
New York Giants
New York Jets
Oakland Raiders
Wednesday: Waived/injured CB John Bowie, signed CB/KR Justin Miller, signed G
Brandon Rodd to practice squad.
Thursday: Placed CB John Bowie on IR.
Philadelphia Eagles
Tuesday: Signed MLB Jeremiah Trotter, released QB Jeff Garcia.
Comments: Trotter gives the Eagles badly needed physicality at the MLB position.
It will take him at least a few weeks to get in game shape, but don't be
surprised if he makes an impact for their run defense later in the season.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Tuesday: Signed FB Carey Davis, placed FB Frank Summers on IR.
Saturday: Signed RB Isaac Redman off practice squad, released DL Nick Eason.
San Diego Chargers
San Francisco 49ers
Seattle Seahawks
Tuesday: Added RB Louis Rankin to practice squad, released RB Devin Moore from
practice squad, released LB Thomas Williams from practice squad.
Wednesday: Signed OL Brian De Le Puente to practice squad, signed OL Na'Shan
Goddard to practice squad, released WR Logan Payne from practice squad.
Saturday: Signed OT Kyle Williams off practice squad, released FB Justin
Griffith.
St. Louis Rams
Tuesday: LB David Vobora has been suspended without pay for the team’s next four
games for violating the NFL policy on performance enhancing substances, released
DT Hollis Thomas, placed WR Laurent Robinson on IR, signed DT Marlon Favorite to
practice squad.
Wednesday: Signed LB Jay Moore to practice squad, signed LB Justin Roland to
practice squad, signed WR Sean Walker to practice squad, signed WR Nate Jones
from practice squad, signed DT Leger Douzable from practice squad, signed LB
Dominic Douglas practice squad.
Thursday: Added WR Sean Walker to practice squad.
Comments: Vobora was their starting SLB, so that's a loss for a team that isn't
deep at linebacker. Thomas was a non-factor, so his release wasn't a surprise at
all. The loss of Robinson is big since he was clearly their best receiver.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Monday: Signed LB Matt McCoy, waived WR Mario Urrutia.
Wednesday: Signed WR Mario Urrutia to practice squad.
Tennessee Titans
Tuesday: Waived RB Chris Henry, released RB Rodney Ferguson, placed P Craig
Hentrich on IR, signed WR/KR Mark Jones, signed S Kevin Kaesviharn, signed CB
Cary Williams.
Saturday: Signed CB Cary Williams off practice squad, released QB Patrick
Ramsey.
Comments: Henry can play special teams and fits in as a third back. A source
said Henry's contract carries a partial guarantee of over $400,000, so he's
unlikely to get claimed.
