Amari Rodgers was waived by the Colts on Tuesday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Rodgers' difficulties with catching on with a club since being selected in the third round of the 2021 Draft by the Packers will continue. The Clemson product joined the team in early August after being let go by the Texans. The 23-year-old secured 12 of 17 targets for 154 yards and a touchdown for Houston last season in six contests, while catching four of eight targets for 50 yards in 10 contests with Green Bay during the 2022 campaign.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Blake Grupe is the only kicker on the Saints' roster after they traded WIl Lutz to Denver on Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

The Saints had enough confidence in the undrafted rookie to trade away a player who'd been their kicker since 2016, though Lutz missed all of 2021 and then had his worst season in 2022. Grupe is listed at 5-foot-7, 156 pounds, making him one of the shortest and lightest players in the NFL at any position, including among specialists.

 

[Exe Gesis]

The Broncos are slated to let Brett Maher go, Troy Renck of Denver 7 News reports.

With Wil Lutz on his way to the Broncos via a trade with the Saints, the team elected to move on from Maher, who had signed with Denver in July. The former Cowboy will now look to catch on with another squad ahead of the upcoming NFL regular season.

 

[Exe Gesis]

The Panthers are slated to waive Spencer Brown on Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Brown put together a solid preseason with Carolina, so he could resurface on the practice squad as long as he clears waivers. The team has expressed continued confidence that Miles Sanders (groin) will be ready for Week 1, but Chuba Hubbard and Raheem Blackshear are the only backs remaining on the roster should he have a setback.

 

[Exe Gesis]

David Quessenberry was released by Buffalo on Tuesday, per NFL.com.

The veteran tackle agreed to come back to Buffalo on March 18 before getting released Tuesday. Quessenberry has spent his five-year NFL career with Houston, Tennessee and Buffalo, appearing in 51 games over that span. He'll now be forced to look for a new home ahead of the coming season.

 

[Exe Gesis]

The Saints are trading Will Lutz to the Broncos on Tuesday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Lutz will be reunited with coach Sean Payton and figures to replace Brett Maher as Denver's placekicker. Back in New Orleans, the Saints are set to enter Week 1 with undrafted rookie Blake Grupe as their kicker.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Tyler Badie was waived by the Broncos on Tuesday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Badie was signed by Denver off the Ravens' practice squad last December, but he was unable to secure a spot for 2023. The Missouri product saw one carry last season but didn't gain any yardage.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Brandon Smith was waived by Carolina on Tuesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

After spending a fourth-round pick on Smith just one year ago, the team has decided to move on. The 22-year-old appeared in 12 games (one start) for Carolina last year, and he logged eight tackles before suffering a season-ending ankle injury.

 

[Exe Gesis]

The Colts waived Jake Funk on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Per Pelissero, the Colts hope to bring back Funk as a member of their practice squad if he clears waivers. The 2021 seventh-rounder spent time with both Indy and the Rams last season, but he didn't log a regular-season carry.

 

[Exe Gesis]

David Sills was waived by the Giants on Tuesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Sills has spent the last two seasons with the team, but his time with the squad has come to an end unless he secures a spot on the practice squad. The West Virginia product had 11 receptions on 17 targets for 106 yards in nine games last season.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Indianapolis is slated to waive Jason Huntley on Tuesday, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Huntley becomes a candidate to reunite with the Colts via the practice squad, especially if a deal to trade Jonathan Taylor (ankle) does eventually emerge. The former New Mexico State standout suited up for five games with the Eagles from 2020-21.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Eric Rowe was released by the Panthers on Tuesday.

Rowe inked with Carolina in April after spending the last four seasons in Miami. The Utah product was working to earn a role in the team's secondary but fell short in those efforts.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Deion Jones was released by the Panthers on Tuesday.

Jones inked a one-year deal with the team in July, but he won't get the opportunity to play out that contract. The veteran linebacker spent last season with the Browns after spending the first six seasons of his career in Atlanta and was working to earn a depth role in Carolina's linebacker corps.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Von Miller (knee) will begin the campaign on the PUP list, which means he has to miss the first four games of the season, Sal Maiorana of the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle reports.

The Bills were hoping to have the veteran pass rusher back for a tough Week 1 matchup against Aaron Rodgers and the Jets, but Miller is at the stage of his career where he must be handled with care, and the team will play the long game this season. He was thought to be progressing well from a torn ACL suffered in a Thanksgiving game last season, so him being ready to go come Week 5 is not out of the question. Greg Rousseau, Leonard Floyd and A.J. Epenesa will head up the Buffalo pass rush in Miller's absence.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Austin Watkins was waived by the Browns on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Watkins recorded more receiving yards than any other player in the preseason, but it wasn't enough for the UAB product to earn a role on Cleveland's 53-man roster.

 

[Exe Gesis]

The Panthers waived Shi Smith on Tuesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Smith played in all 17 games for Carolina last season, recording a 22-296-2 receiving line on 41 targets while also contributing in the return game. He seems a likely candidate to earn a spot on the team's practice squad if another club doesn't claim him off waivers.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Ben DiNucci was waived by the Broncos on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

DiNucci joined the team in May after a successful XFL season with Seattle. Ultimately though, the James Madison product was unable to unseat Jarrett Stidham for backup duties, while Denver has opted to carry two quarterbacks on their 53-man roster.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Ronnie Harrison was released by the Colts on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Harrison signed a one-year deal with Indianapolis on Aug. 14 before getting released Tuesday. The 26-year-old played two years in Jacksonville and three in Cleveland before agreeing to terms with the Colts this offseason. Throughout his five-year career, the veteran safety has appeared in 67 games and tallied 223 tackles, 23 pass breakups and five interceptions.

 

[Exe Gesis]

The Broncos waived Montrell Washington on Tuesday, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.

Washington, a 2022 fifth-round pick, could realistically resurface on Denver's practice squad as long as he clears waivers. In 15 appearances as a rookie, he secured four of nine targets for two yards and logged five carries for 30 yards. With Tim Patrick (knee) out for the year and Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) in danger of missing serious time, emergency wide receiver depth will be significant for the Broncos.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Boogie Basham has reportedly been traded from the Bills to the Giants, sources have told ESPN's Jordan Raanan. The teams are thought to have swapped late-round draft picks in a future season.

Basham was a second-round pick in 2021, but he never really progressed and the Bills are deep on the defensive line this season. While Giants coach Brian Daboll is an offensive guy, he's familiar with Basham from their time together in Buffalo and is apparently happy to see if he can get the Wake Forest product's career going at little cost to the franchise.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Larry Rountree was waived by the Texans on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Rountree joined Houston on Aug. 18, just a few short days after being let go from the Chargers. The Missouri product is a candidate to ultimately end up on the Texans' practice squad, according to Wilson.

 

[Exe Gesis]

The Dolphins cut Myles Gaskin on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Gaskin made 17 starts between the 2020 and 2021 seasons but then got only 11 touches over four games last year and tumbled further down the depth chart this offseason. He spent the preseason working behind Raheem Mostert, Jeff Wilson (undisclosed), De'Von Achane (shoulder) and Salvon Ahmed (head), and even undrafted rookie Chris Brooks made his case to surpass Gaskin on the depth chart. If Gaskin does get a chance elsewhere this season, it might be as a passing-down back.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Darrynton Evans was waived by the Bills on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Evans came aboard when the team lost Nyheim Hines (knee) for the season, but ultimately, the 25-year-old Evans was unable to push past Ty Johnson and Latavius Murray for the team's No. 3 running back spot. He'll now have to seek out a chance with another franchise.

 

[Exe Gesis]

Jonathan Williams (undisclosed) is expected to be placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Williams was working to earn the team's No. 3 running back role behind Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson, but instead, he might end up spending the 2023 campaign on the shelf.

 

[Exe Gesis]

The Giants are planning to release Jamison Crowder on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Crowder hasn't had much luck since departing the Jets, where he was a steady producer for several years. After a broken ankle limited him to just four games with the Bills in 2022, he has spent a portion of the 2023 training camp with the Giants limited by a calf injury. Assuming he does end up being released, the veteran wideout will likely work to pursue a new opportunity.
