To date:
Cooper Helfet
Sean Renfree
Braxton Deaver
Hoping there's an astute GM out there who values the services of the aforementioned 3.
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?
add Issac Blakeney to the list.
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.
Ben Watson caught a TD for Duke against Virginia in 1999 in Charlottesville. Tore his Achilles Saturday night playing for the Ravens.
Cuts that I've seen today so far:
Juwan Thompson - Broncos
Matt Skura - Raven
Takoby Cofield - Redskins
Sage Grouse

From the ESPN NFL/College Page...obviously not quite up to date:
Jeremy Cash Carolina Panthers Linebacker
Ross Cockrell Pittsburgh Steelers Cornerback
Takoby Cofield Washington Redskins Offensive Tackle
Jamison Crowder Washington Redskins Wide Receiver
Cooper Helfet Seattle Seahawks Tight End
Thaddeus Lewis San Francisco 49ers Quarterback
Lucas Patrick Green Bay Packers Guard

Carlos Wray San Diego Chargers Defensive Tackle
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.
