The Browns have also waived S Elijah Benton, TE Jordan Franks, OG Colby Gossett, DE Porter Gustin, LB Willie Harvey, WR KhaDarel Hodge, DE Joe Jackson, RB John Kelly, QB Kyle Lauletta and DE Cameron Malveaux. CB Brian Allen, DT Sheldon Day, LB Elijah Lee and WR JoJo Natson were released. A 2020 UDFA out of Louisiana, Bentley made an emergency late-season start in 2020 as the Browns were racked with coronavirus. He will presumably remain a practice squad candidate.

Uche, 26, has just five sacks since what looked to be a breakout 2023 season where he had 11.5. He’s played just 35 percent of the snaps for New England this year. Jones, 31, would likely be more coveted by a team trying to patch up their secondary. Jones has started 37 games for the Patriots in the last three years.

Gardeck had six sacks last year and three in three games this year. It’s his second torn ACL. Gardeck is set to be a free agent after the season and will likely have to settle for one-year offers.

Wilson has been active in just one game this season, and he had just five offensive snaps against the Chargers. If you’re counting on a turnaround for Wilson to seize what looks to be an in-reach job in the Pittsburgh three-wide set, it looks like you’re going to have to keep counting.

Renfrow, who was released in March, has not been linked to a team or visited one since. This helps explain that. He’ll turn 29 in December. Renfrow had a 1,000-yard season in 2021 and barring a reversal will finish his career with 2,884 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns. Mike Mayock certainly made worse draft picks.

Campbell, who failed to crack the 53-man roster at last cuts, caught a touchdown in Week 4 while A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith were both out. Still just 27, Campbell will be out there for WR-needy teams to take a shot on.

The full quote: “If the Rams are willing to take on the salary I’ve heard they’re willing to do, they are definitely open to trading Cooper Kupp so we’ll see if they’ll be able to get a deal done.” Kupp has missed all but two games this season, but had a monster 21-target performance in Week 1. He turns 32 next offseason. The Rams, 2-4 and with some older players, could position themselves as a trade deadline seller if they’re able to get high picks in return.

Oluokun will have a 21-day window to practice before being activated from injured reserve. He came down with a case of plantar fascitis that caused him to leave Jacksonville’s Week 3 game against the Bills. The Jaguars defense has, frankly, been lost without him. Whenever Oluokun does come back, it will be a big boost for the unit.

Humphries tore his ACL in Week 17 and has been rehabbing it on his own. The Giants are in need of tackle depth with Andrew Thomas dealing with a long-term injury, Joes Ezeudu a disaster, and Evan Neal apparently not in New York’s short-term plans.

Patterson hasn’t played since Week 4 against the Colts while dealing with a lingering ankle injury. The veteran had 92 yards on 16 rushes over the season’s first four weeks along with five receptions for 34 yards. His return could take away snaps and touches for Jaylen Warren.

Parsons has been sidelined for the past two games with a serious ankle injury. If he suits up against the Niners, Parsons could be used on a rotational basis before he gets a full complement of snaps in Week 9 or beyond. The Cowboys, allowing the NFL’s third highest EPA per play this season, desperately need Parsons back if they have any chance of slowing down the 49ers offense.
