2:43 PM: I’d assume this means long snapper Matt Overton is cut. Those are the four moves that needed to be made.
Thank you to the Jacksonville Jaguars for the incredible opportunity. These past couple of years have been a blessing to me & my family & the relationships I’ve made are special. Nothing but love & respect! #Duuuval

12:45 PM: That stinks. I was hoping we’d put in a claim for Wendell Smallwood or Malik Jefferson, but the Cleveland Browns and Washington are both lower than us on the waiver wire.
Staying in the division: Former #Eagles RB Wendell Smallwood was claimed by the #Redskins. ... LB Malik Jefferson by the #Browns.
