Cowboys Not In Market For Backup QB
Dallas Cowboys owners Jerry Jones said the team isn't in the market for a backup quarterback "at this time." The Cowboys were high on free-agent quarterbacks Paxton Lynch and Connor Cook two years ago, but they will go with Cooper Rush and Mike White as the backups to Dak Prescott to start the year. Lynch... Read More
Patriots Waive Amara Darboh
The New England Patriots waived wide receiver Amara Darboh on Tuesday after claiming him off waivers from the Seahawks on Sunday, according to a source.

Bills To Work Out Paxton Lynch
The Buffalo Bills will work out free-agent quarterback Paxton Lynch on Monday, according to sources.

The Raiders are looking for more receiver depth after releasing Martavis Bryant over the weekend, but they already added veteran Brandon LaFell on a one-year deal. Butler was a surprising cut by the Cardinals but should latch on with another team soon.
Colts Visit With Fitzgerald Toussaint
The Indianapolis Colts hosted free-agent running back Fitzgerald Toussaint for a visit on Sunday, according to a source.

Read More

Broncos Cut Carlos Henderson
The Denver Broncos released wide receiver Carlos Henderson on Saturday, according to sources. The third-round pick last year, Henderson didn't play at all in his rookie season due to injury and hadn't reported to training camp because of personal issues.

Browns Release Devon Cajuste
The Cleveland Browns released tight end Devon Cajuste on Sunday. Cajuste had been impressing in training camp and the preseason, so it's a minor surprise that he didn't make the final roster. The Browns will go with David Njoku, Darren Fells, Orson Charles and Seth DeValve.
Cardale Jones Waived
The Los Angeles Chargers waived quarterback Cardale Jones on Sunday. Jones lost out in the backup battle to Geno Smith during training camp and the preseason. The converted wide receiver remains fantasy irrelevant.
Davis Webb Waived By Giants
The New York Giants are waiving quarterback Davis Webb on Sunday, according to a source.
