Following every team\u2019s efforts to get down from a 90-man training camp roster to a 53-man active roster for the regular season, waiver wire claims were processed on non-vested players that were cut. There were a few players who drew more interest than others. We\u2019ve already seen the breakdown of claims for former Ravens cornerback<\/a> Jalyn Armour-Davis<\/a><\/strong> and former Cardinals cornerback<\/a> Jaylon Jones<\/a><\/strong>. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Ravens also waived Beau Brade<\/a><\/strong>, an undrafted safety out of nearby Maryland who made the team as a rookie last year. Mostly a special teamer throughout his year in Baltimore, Brade also fell victim to an influx of unexpected talent from the team\u2019s new undrafted class as rookie free agents Keyon Martin<\/strong> and Reuben Lowery<\/strong> earned spots over Armour-Davis and himself. Per ESPN\u2019s Field Yates, the Jaguars<\/strong> were interested in bringing Brade to Duval<\/a>, but the Giants had the higher waiver priority.<\/p>\n

Armour-Davis wasn\u2019t the only player the Titans were awarded off waivers. Tennessee also ended up claiming cornerback Samuel Womack<\/a><\/strong> fresh off his dismissal from Indianapolis. A fifth-round pick out of Toledo in 2022, Womack started eight games for the Colts last year after getting waived by the 49ers in 2024\u2019s final roster cuts. Tennessee was awarded the 26-year-old this year, although the Browns<\/strong> also put in a claim<\/a>, according to Garafolo.<\/p>\n

Garafolo pointed out one more such instance with former Jaguars defensive tackle Jordan Jefferson<\/a><\/strong>. A fourth-round pick out of LSU last year, Jefferson was waived by Jacksonville after being inactive for nine games his rookie year. The Bengals<\/strong>, who desperately need improvement on the defensive line this season, put in a claim for Jefferson to come to Cincinnati, but the 49ers held a higher waiver priority and claimed him for themselves.<\/p>\n

Yates also brought up another, noting that linebacker Cam Jones<\/a><\/strong> had a claim from the Colts<\/strong> before being awarded to the Jets, while ESPN\u2019s Jeremy Fowler reported that former Eagles offensive guard Trevor Keegan<\/a><\/strong> was awarded to the Cowboys due to their waiver priority over<\/a> the Chargers<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Similarly, when the Giants<\/strong> waived fan favorite backup quarterback Tommy DeVito<\/a><\/strong>, they hoped that they would be able to bring him back to their practice squad<\/a>, per Geoff Magliocchetti of Sports Illustrated. Instead, the Patriots claimed him off waivers, and now Paul Schwartz of The New York Post reports that the Giants will not sign a quarterback to practice squad<\/a>, as a result. It\u2019s just as well, considering the team is carrying three passers on the active roster.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Following every team\u2019s efforts to get down from a 90-man training camp roster to a 53-man active roster…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":188755,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[88551,105656,8997,1544,9002,8017,105657,77645,8986,4716,1232,105658,62,75559,105659,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-188754","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-beau-brade","9":"tag-cam-jones","10":"tag-cincinnati-bengals","11":"tag-cleveland-browns","12":"tag-indianapolis-colts","13":"tag-jacksonville-jaguars","14":"tag-jaylon-jones-ole-miss","15":"tag-jordan-jefferson","16":"tag-los-angeles-chargers","17":"tag-new-york-giants","18":"tag-nfl","19":"tag-samuel-womack","20":"tag-sports","21":"tag-tommy-devito","22":"tag-trevor-keegan","23":"tag-united-states","24":"tag-unitedstates","25":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115121640190360880","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188754","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=188754"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/188754\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/188755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=188754"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=188754"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=188754"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
