    Casualties of the NFL Preseason

    To date:
    Cooper Helfet
    Sean Renfree
    Braxton Deaver

    Hoping there's an astute GM out there who values the services of the aforementioned 3.

    Jets cut Ross Martin, who had a 55 yarder last night. Was competing with the incumbent, Nick Folk. Had a decent pre-season albeit a bit uneven.

    I think we could consider Thad Lewis a different kind of casualty.

    Dallas could certainly use Renfree. Hopefully they will give him a look...

    The Jets obviously knew they were going to release him, so I thought it was pretty cool they gave him the opportunity to take that kick. At best, something to help him get a look somewhere else, at worst, a nice memory from his cup of NFL coffee. And given the, ahem, issues their stadium mates are having with their kicking game, it might be a short walk through the bowels of the stadium to a new gig.
    Demented and sad, but social, right?

    Best of luck in the future Issac.

    And let's not forget Kenny Anunike who was waived by the Broncos three weeks ago. He was able to wow coaches and teammates over the past couple of camps but, like at Duke, was felled by too many injuries.

    Can follow Snacks Harrison to the other locker room if it works out. Probably with a much smaller contract.

    Ben Watson caught a TD for Duke against Virginia in 1999 in Charlottesville. Tore his Achilles Saturday night playing for the Ravens.

    Takoby Cofield gets picked up:

    Paul Gutierrez ESPN Staff Writer

    The Raiders officially announced the signing of offensive tackle Takoby Cofield to their practice squad while releasing defensive end Jason Fanaika from the practice squad. The Raiders could have a need for depth on the offensive line after right tackles Menelik Watson (groin) and Matt McCants (left knee) were injured in Sunday's victory at the Saints and Austin Howard (right ankle) was inactive. Plus, right guard Gabe Jackson was fitted for a brace on his left knee during the game.
