Buccaneers | Sean Tucker agrees to pay cut Sun Aug 30, 05:43 PM

Sean Tucker agreed to take a pay cut down to $2.5 million from his $3.5 million RFA tender to stay with the Buccaneers.

Footballguys view: He'll be the #3 back, and with a $2.5 million salary, he won't be a mere "in case of emergency break glass" back. There was some talk that UDFA Josh Williams was pushing Tucker for a job, but Tucker's willingness to take a pay cut (and add some incentives to his contract) made up the team's mind for them. This could be a slight ding to Bucky Irving's upside if the Zac Robinson's staff uses Irving as a goal-line back like Josh Grizzard's did.

San Francisco 49ers WR Will Pauling was waived Sunday, Aug. 30, according to a source.

Browns | Dillon Gabriel lands on IR list to start Sun Aug 30, 04:54 PM

Cleveland Browns QB Dillon Gabriel (back) was placed on the reserve/injured list Sunday, Aug. 30, with a designation to return. He must miss the first four games of the regular season. As such, rookie QB Taylen Green opens the season as the No. 3 quarterback.

Footballguys view: We wouldn't be surprised to see one or both Green and Gabriel to start at some point this season. The Browns solved the problem of how to keep four quarterbacks on the roster, but they will need to open up a roster spot for Gabriel during the season if they plan on using him.

Browns | Taylen Green makes 53-man roster in Cleveland Sun Aug 30, 04:52 PM

Cleveland Browns QB Taylen Green made the initial 53-man roster Sunday, Aug. 30, and he will serve as the No. 3 quarterback behind starter QB Deshaun Watson and backup QB Shedeur Sanders, with QB Dillon Gabriel (back) on the reserve/injured list to start.

Footballguys view: Green is a size/speed freak athlete in the mold of Terrelle Pryor. He is probably even more raw than Pryor was coming into the league, but the Browns may want to see what they have in him before they inevitably take a quarterback in the first round next year. Green should be on a roster in superflex dynasty leagues.

Rams | Aaron Donald coming out of retirement Sun Aug 30, 04:08 PM

Los Angeles Rams DT Aaron Donald is coming out of retirement to play for the team in the 2026 season, sources said Sunday, Aug. 30. The 10-time Pro Bowler hasn't played since 2023, and he is 35 years old.

Footballguys view: As if you needed another reason to take the Rams D/ST after they traded for Myles Garrett. Donald is getting $20 million to come back, so the Rams clearly believe they are getting more than a role player.

Arizona Cardinals QB Kedon Slovis was waived Sunday, Aug. 30.

Broncos | Justin Joly does not make team Sun Aug 30, 03:54 PM

Denver Broncos TE Justin Joly was waived Sunday, Aug. 30, according to sources.

Footballguys view: Joly had a 88 yard touchdown in the last preseason game, but he had trouble adjusting to the NFL in camp and wasn't ready for a game day role. He didn't show enough for the team to feel like they couldn't expose him to waivers, but if he clears - which is possible with so many other players on the fringe available - then the Broncos should add him to the practice squad.

49ers | Alfred Collins still working way back Sun Aug 30, 03:50 PM

San Francisco 49ers DT Alfred Collins (shoulder) is still behind in his return from the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list. However, he did make his preseason debut Thursday, Aug. 27, against the Las Vegas Raiders. 'I didn't want to play him too long but he's been so behind, just getting a late start in camp,' head coach Kyle Shanahan said Sunday, Aug. 30. 'We were going to take him out a series before and he said, 'Coach, I'm a little rusty. Let me get a little more time in.'

Texans | Noah Whittington off team for now Sun Aug 30, 03:44 PM

Houston Texans RB Noah Whittington was waived Sunday, Aug, 30, but will be signed to the practice squad if he clears waivers, according to a source.

Footballguys view: With Jawhar Jordan cleared to practice from a hip injury, Whittington's path to a spot on the 53 got blocked. Jordan had a 100 yard game last year on only 15 carries and appears to be a good fit for the Texans running game. Whittington is a swiss army knife type of back who will be the next man up for the Texans, or maybe even added to another team's 53 man roster.

Cowboys | Jaydon Blue will not make team Sun Aug 30, 03:34 PM

Dallas Cowboys RB Jaydon Blue was waived Sunday, Aug. 30, according to a source.

Footballguys view: Blue created buzz earlier this offseason and appeared to be line for a role as a space back to utilize his speed and playmaking ability, if not part of a committee to backup Javonte Williams. The team tried him as an early down between the tackles back in the preseason, and he was predictably devoured, looking like a poor fit for the role. Another team could take a chance on the 2025 fifth round pick, but Blue's reputation off of the field could give them pause.

Broncos | Kolbe Katsis cut by Denver Sun Aug 30, 03:30 PM

Denver Broncos WR Kolbe Katsis was cut by the team Sunday, Aug. 30.

Commanders | Robert Henry Jr. cut Sun Aug 30, 03:29 PM

Washington Commanders RB Robert Henry Jr. was waived Sunday, Aug. 30, according to a source.

Footballguys view: Henry impressed with his quickness and speed in the preseason despite going undrafted, but the Commanders chose to keep their sixth round pick, rugged inside runner Kaytron Allen, instead. Henry should end up on Washington's practice squad, but it's possible that a zone run game team liked what they saw from Henry enough to claim him.

Cowboys | Dallas cuts two players Sun Aug 30, 03:29 PM

Dallas Cowboys WR Marquez Valdes-Scantling was released Sunday, Aug. 30, according to sources. The team also waived TE Michael Trigg but plan to sign him to the practice squad if he clears waivers.

Footballguys view: Trigg had a good preseason, showing off his receiving ability, but he wasn't impressive enough to make the Cowboys feel like he would be claimed if they tried to slip him through to the practice squad. Trigg was a draftable talent on the field, but had many questions off of the field. If there is word around the league that he is changing his ways, Trigg could get claimed.

Steelers | Pittsburgh moves on from Kaleb Johnson Sun Aug 30, 03:18 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Kaleb Johnson was acquired by the Green Bay Packers Sunday, Aug. 30, in exchange for a 2028 sixth-round draft choice, according to a source.

Footballguys view: Johnson will be the #3 back after the Packers released Damien Martinez and Pierre Strong and Josh Jacobs was placed on the commissioner's exempt list, putting him out for indefinite period of time. The team must trust MarShawn Lloyd to have him go into the season as the #1 back with only a passing down specialist in Chris Brooks and nearly complete unknown in Johnson on the roster.

Cowboys | Phil Mafah let go by Dallas Sun Aug 30, 03:01 PM

Dallas Cowboys RB Phil Mafah was released on Sunday, Aug. 30.

Footballguys view: Malik Davis is the clear #2 back with both 2025 draft picks - Mafah and Jaydon Blue - released today. Davis is worth drafting in deep leagues simply because of the quality of the Cowboys offense and running game.

Bears | Luther Burden 'looks 100%', plan on him for Week 1 Sun Aug 30, 02:49 PM

Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (groin) 'looks 100%' and to plan on him being available in Week 1, according to HC Ben Johnson on Saturday, Aug, 29.

Footballguys view: Burden's ADP didn't fall much after he suffered a groin injury early in camp, and it looks like he won't even miss a game. There's still the reconditioning period and playing at game speed without suffering a re-injury hurdles to get over before Burden is in the clear, but if you already drafted Burden earlier this summer or have him on a dynasty roster, this is the best news you could have hoped for. If you haven't drafted yet, know that you'll have to take Burden in the fourth round if you want him, and it wouldn't be shocking to see him go in the third round of some drafts now.

Steelers | Broderick Jones traded to Cowboys Sun Aug 30, 02:49 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers OT Broderick Jones was traded to the Dallas Cowboys with a 2027 fourth-round pick in exchange for a 2027 third-round pick and a 2027 sixth-round pick, according to a source on Saturday, Aug. 29. The Cowboys have also released WR Denzel Mims in a corresponding move.

Footballguys view: The new regime in Pittsburgh had a chance to work with Jones - who did work hard to come back from a neck injury - and decided they would rather get their sixth round pick back from the George Pickens deal and add a bump from the fourth to third round next year. They have the luxury of doing this after UDFA Dylan Cook played well in place of Jones last year and then the team ended up taking a tackle (Max Ihenachor, who is already showing signs of development) in the first round after the Eagles moved ahead of them to snipe Makai Lemon. Jones is a former first round pick and the Cowboys will hope that he can function as their swing tackle while they coach him up to be a potential starter in the future.
