I was high on DL Ryan Bee as he played well this preseason. I know a lot of you were high on WR Cam Sims. Both are now going on the #Redskins practice squad.

The Redskins signed nine players to their practice squad and also placed two players — running back Shaun Wilson and linebacker Jordan Brailford on injured reserve. Both are eligible to return this season. The nine signed were: receiver Cam Sims, tight... https://t.co/d65fIwelYl

A total of 36 players were claimed off of waivers today. Their new teams will have to make corresponding moves, which are due by 4 PM EST today. More activity later today.

Unless Raiders will be releasing Mike Glennon or Nathan Peterman, they'll have four QBs on the roster.

Sense last night was Josh Doctson would clear waivers. Per @TomPelissero, he did.

No inside info here, but I legit think the Cowboys make for a good landing spot for the native Texan.
I love to study the depth charts on https://t.co/3OHy4FaDbT following roster cuts. You finally get a feel for the depth on these rosters. The Eagles OL is incredibly deep.

$11m literally doesn’t matter. Any owner in the league would trade $11m for a first rounder. https://t.co/mMh2hofqyI

So, what is the goal as a franchise? To win games? Or to stick it to a guy who doesn’t want to be here? I understand just fine, add this to the long list of reasons why a trash organization stays a trash organization...

The #Redskins could have a couple open roster spots once they put guys on IR. They may use the spots on internal options, but here’s a look at some outside options they could target. https://t.co/3LB5oQh1nF

Never said we turned down multiple firsts. Turning down a single first and standing ground is insanity. Saves $10-$12m? Hogwash. Bad business. https://t.co/2gmeP8Zfeg

Former #Bills RB LeSean McCoy has found a new home. He’s headed to Kansas City to sign with the #Chiefs, source said. He got a 1-year deal worth $3M. It can be worth $4M in incentives.

Miami held onto Kiko Alonso for a day... and are still able to trade him to New Orleans and stockpile picks. https://t.co/NeCoOxEa0W

Josh Rosen could not have asked for a more start to his career from an organizational support standpoint. I don’t care if you like the kid or not “personally”. He has been set up to fail. Nice job.
— Louis Riddick (@LRiddickESPN) September 1, 2019
This is not a crazy scenario for the Dolphins:
— Steve Palazzolo (@PFF_Steve) August 31, 2019
2019: Trade for Rosen
2020: Draft Tua/Herbert/Love/other
2021: Draft Lawrence
IF finding that true top 8 QB is that valuable (it is), you stop at nothing until you find the right guy
The Dolphins have done a good job getting resources for the future -- top-5 picks in every round next year, extra 1st round picks in '20 and '21, extra 2nd.
— Football Perspective (@fbgchase) September 1, 2019
Unfortunately, they are about 15 good players away from being a competitor, so.... it's going to be awhile.
Zero chance a team trying to tank trades a No 1 pick for a more expensive 31 year old tackle who gets hurt a lot.

Bill O' Brien's play to make the Texans GM job so unattractive by having no future draft assets so no one else will consider taking it and he can continue coaching in perpetuity, is a stroke of genius...

Because the one they wanted is currently the Patriots' director of player personnel, and they had to swear that they wouldn't pursue him anymore after the Patriots filed tampering charges. https://t.co/ww6Lixjm0G

The Bears traded 2 1st round picks and got back Oakland's 2020 2nd round pick, which might not be much that worse than Chicago's 2020 1st round pick.
— Football Perspective (@fbgchase) September 1, 2019
The Texans traded 2 1st round picks and a 2nd round pick. The difference in value may end up being significant.
Dolphins were expected to either cut wide receiver Kenny Stills or unload him for a fifth-round pick elsewhere if he hadn't been traded to the Texans in the Laremy Tunsil blockbuster, according to a league source
— Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) August 31, 2019
One day altered the landscape of the coming season. Seahawks address a major need with a great player. Chiefs bolster one of their only weaknesses on offense. Texans mortgage the future for a chance to stay relevant. Dolphins tank for Tua. What happens next?

Obviously cap space is very fluid right now but the current leaders in estimated 2020 cap space, including some projected carryover are
— Jason_OTC (@Jason_OTC) September 1, 2019
1 Colts- $138M
2 Dolphins- $113M
3 Texans- $91M
4 Bills- $85.4M
5 Cowboys- $85M
6 Seahawks- $75M
7 Cardinals- $69M
8 Ravens- $64M
1. For the time being, Josh Mauro being cut removes a 2020 7th round compensatory pick to the Giants from the board.

Teams that have spent the most cash on players no longer on the roster

2. Colts- $13.6M
3. Texans- $9.9M
4. Cardinals- $8M
5. Saints- $7.6M
6. Seahawks- $6.6M
7. Chiefs- $6.2M
8. Jaguars- $6.2M
9. Broncos- $5.2M
10. Bears- $3.8M
NFL stars have finally begun to take a page from the books of their NBA brethren. Rather than view themselves as beholden employees or cogs in a wheel, they see themselves as businessmen, who boast unique services and skill sets that are in high demand. https://t.co/s9qS7MuHtZ

I’ve hated the rookie wage scale since it was implemented in 2011, and I continue to hate it today, particularly for running backs. If it’s going to remain in the next CBA, every player should be a UFA after four years. Period. No fifth-year options. pic.twitter.com/cnxaMEk9VG
