Notable nfl cuts4/2/2023 ![]() It may come as a shock to see Jackson’s name listed here. All were the result of positive tests.- Albert Breer August 31, 2021 Even when that’s not where they lined up in college.įour players went on COVID-19/reserve today: Falcons TE Parker Hesse, Cowboys WR Noah Brown, Rams G Coleman Shelton and Eagles WR TY McGill. Iowa just knows how to churn out tight ends I suppose. Although this comes with the caveat of having been placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list, Hesse remains a legit candidate to make the Atlanta Falcons 53-man roster, as they only have three tight ends currently on the roster. You may be unaware, but former Iowa defensive end Parker Hesse is continuing to stick around the NFL … as a tight end. That said, if there’s any position the NFL is short on, it’s offensive lineman and when you put together a preseason that displays quality pass protection ability coupled with above average ability as a run blocker … the result happens to be a spot on the Los Angeles Rams 53-man roster. The NFL Draft process proved to be a brutal one for Alaric Jackson as a lackluster performance at the Senior Bowl followed by poor athletic testing numbers made many scouts and teams wonder whether or not Jackson had the athleticism and talent to play at the next level. Heflin played at Iowa in 2020, but was a standout player for Northern Illinois before that (team defensive MVP). Nice play by #Packers rookie UDFA DT Jack Heflin on the screen. With Tennessee desperately looking for a compliment to their bell cow running back, Derrick Henry, they may have found one in the form of Sargent. The players we’ll spotlight here first are the ones who made the team…Ĭonsidered by many as a “dark horse” to make the Tennessee Titans 53-man roster, the former Iowa walk-on and undrafted free agent took advantage of his opportunity this preseason displaying excellent balance, good vision, decisiveness and the ability to catch passes out of the backfield. That said, there’s a flip side and that flip side happens to contain many former Hawkeyes who we all continue to root for.Īlthough the Iowa Hawkeyes happen to have many alumni who are solidified in their roles on NFL teams, there’s an equal if not greater number of former players who are considered as being “on the bubble” with their football futures potentially being on the line. The unfortunate reality is that amongst the wave of those roster cuts, there’ll undoubtedly be some former Hawkeyes who receive the heartbreaking call that they have been released. Below, we'll highlight each player who has been a cap casualty and note how much their former team saved by releasing them.It’s Wednesday, September 1st, which means we are one day removed from the annual NFL roster slaughter that is the NFL roster cut deadline, as teams trim their rosters down from 80 players to 50. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Rams and Detroit Lions are among the teams that have also begun stripping players off the roster to get under the cap, and more are soon to follow.īecause of this, a new talent pool of players is now able to be had by the rest of the league. To this point, the Titans have cleared nearly $38 million off their books by releasing the likes of Taylor Lewan, Robert Woods, and others. ![]() So, far, the Tennessee Titans have been the biggest player in this regard, slashing a significant amount of space. Already we've seen several teams begin clearing cap space to get under the league-mandated threshold, which has resulted in a number of notable names being thrust into the open market.
