The 2020 season was the Detroit Lions' 91st in the National Football League (NFL) and also their 3rd and last season under head trainer Matt Patricia. The Lions enhanced their 3-- 12-- 1 document from the previous season, however were removed from playoff opinion for the 4th consecutive year following their loss to the Tennessee Titans in Week 15. The Lions completed 5-- 11, as well as last place in the NFC North for the 3rd successive season. Even more, the 2020 Lions protection had one of the most awful seasons in NFL background, establishing franchise business documents for factors permitted (519, 3rd worst in NFL history) and backyards enabled (6,716, third worst in NFL background) in a season, both marks covering the 2008 team.On June 23, 2020, Detroit Lions' principal owner Martha Firestone Ford tipped down, passing possession to her daughter Sheila Ford Hamp.Following the Lions' Thanksgiving Day loss to the Houston Texans, both Patricia and basic supervisor Bob Quinn were terminated and offensive organizer Darrell Bevell taking control of as interim head train. Patricia finished his tenure in Detroit with a document of 13-- 29-- 1 (.314 ). In addition, the Lions terminated unique teams organizer Brayden Coombs on December 21.
Until 22 clock on Tuesday, the 32 NFL franchises had to cut their bloated preseason squad to 53 players. The Patriots with the dismissal of Cam Newton made for the bang of the day, but many places were talented, young players on the market. Several trades rounded off the picture, while three stars can only watch three stars over the first weeks of the season.
NFL: That's how the last hours ran up to the Roster Cuts
22.15: It was for today, the Roster-deadline has expired, the 53 man squad - for the time being.
How is it going? On Wednesday, the Waiver Wire Claims go through teams; If you get a player from the Waiver Wire, you have to take over the 53-man squad. That means in reversal also that who is still in the squad, does not necessarily have to enjoy this privilege, inevitably. If the Waiver Wire process is through, the teams will fill their practice squads.
In the core but are the 32 squad in the NFL now, and the gaze is clearly on Thursday coming week: Then open the Tampa Buch Buccaneers against the Dallas Cowboys the new season!
Until then, you have probably and a good night together.
The biggest news of the day at a glance:
- The New England Patriots released Quarterback Cam Newton. This is automatically clear that Rookie quarterback Mac Jones is the starter in Foxboro in the season.
- Both Patriots-Corner Stephon Gilmore, as well as Packers-Tackle David Bakhtiari and Saints Receiver Michael Thomas go on the PUP list in the season. This means that they can be transported at the earliest after six weeks in the active squad.
- A variety of wide receivers came to the market today: Tyron Johnson (Chargers), Dec Fitzpatrick (Titans), Cornell Powell (Chiefs), Travis Fulgham and John High Tower (both Eagles), Phillip Dorsett (Jaguars), Travis Benjamin (49ers ) Or Bears Rookie Dazz News. Raiders Receiver John Brown also asked for his release, and the team fulfilled his wish.
- The German-American Wide Receiver Equanimeous St. Brown was also released. The packers separated from the 2018 draft pick.
- Cardinals-Cornerback Malcolm Butler considers his resignation due to personal reasons.
- The Vikings Trades as a result of the violation of IRV Smith for Jets-Tight-End Chris Herndon.
The hours before the Roster-Deadline in re-live for reading
22.02: And finally there is another trade - because: Punter Are People, Too! The Packers Trades for Rams-Punter Corey Bojorquez. The price: a six-round pick 2023, together with Bojorquez, a seventh-round pick 2023 moves to Green Bay.
22 clock: The Philadelphia Eagles dismiss Running Back Jordan Howard.
21.43 clock: The Chicago Bears released Cornerback Desmond Trufant . Trufant had left the team on August 13 to be with his family - two days later his father died. Trufant spent the further training camp in his family, according to Adam Schefter the Corner wants to play. Chicagos already questionable Cornerback depth is always thinner, the Bears had now also separated from six-round rookie Thomas Graham.
21.34: Bitter message from Tennessee: report According to the Titans today Receiver Dec Fitzpatrick dismissed . Only in this year's draft Tennessee was high in the fourth round of drafts to secure Fitzpatrick. To give up such an investment before leaving a regular season game would underline how weak the season preparation of the rookies was.
21:25: The 49ers have released Safety Ha Ha Clinton-Dix - whose most memorable moment in San Francisco was probably the call at this interception.
Vikings Trades for Herndon - Giants Trades with Baltimore
21.21: The Minnesota Vikings responded to the injury of IRV Smith: Minnesota brings by Trade Chris Herndon von der Jets! Hernton was traded in New York for a while as a breakout candidate , however, never made this jump. Now he gets the change of wallpaper and goes to an offense, which plays a lot about the tight ends.
21.17 clock: And another receiver comes on the market: the chargers fired Tyron Johnson . The fast outside receiver was a Undrafted Free Agent 2019, in the past season he was used for the first time. He finished the season with 20 catches for 398 yards and three touchdowns , at an average target depth of over 20 yards!
21.08: Here are the details of the Giants Ravens-Trade: Baltimore receives the four-round pick of the Giants next year , in return hiking Bredeson, a five-round pick and a seventh-round pick 2023 to New York.
21 clock: Also John Hightower did not make the jump in the Eagles squad . The redundancies of Hightower and Travis Fulgham open the door for J.J. Arcega-Whiteside in the preliminary 53 squad. At the Jaguars however, Wide Receiver Phillip Dorsett was released. Lots of Receiver who are currently on the market ...
20.51: Speedster Travis Benjamin did not make it in the squad of the San Francisco 49ers . Trent Sherfield and Jalen Hurd are likely to stand in before Benjamin, with Samuel and Aiyuk as a set starter.
20.42: Another trade, and it's the New York Giants , who are trying to land with Roster-Bubble players a hit for the offensive line to land: After Billy Price yesterday bring the G -Men now Ravens-Guard Ben Bredeson Via Trade. Bredeson was a four-round pick of the Ravens last year, he came as a swing tackle 2020 on a total of 48 Snaps.
20.33 clock: The chicago Bears fired Rookie-Receiver Dazz Newsome. Newsome would come back to the Practice Squad if no team commits him from the Waiver Wire. Newsome was a six-round pick of the Bears in this year's draft, a gadget receiver that could best find his role in Jet Sweeps, in the Screen Game and the like - and can also play returners, as last in preseason too Was watching. Had missed parts of the season preparation due to injury.
20.21: Running Back Pooka Williams was one of my Sleeper Playmaker for Day 3 of this year's drafts. The Bengals grabbed the running back, just they released him. Let's go without a team through the Waiver Wire, he should land on the Practice Squad in Cincinnati. **
20.13: The Philadelphia Eagles fired Wide Receiver Travis Fulgham . Fulgham, a large outside receiver, had last year after all 38 catches for 539 yards and four touchdowns, with 14.2 yards per catch and an average target depth of almost 14 yards. A total of 64 targets saw the downfield receiver. The Eagles hope to get Fulgham back to the Practice Squad, but here I could imagine that a team strikes about the Waiver Wire.
8 pm: Two exciting personal details Cleveland , because the Browns have just announced their 53er squad: Both Takk McKinley, as well as Malik McDowell have made the CUT for the time being ! McKinley was once a round-round pick of the Falcons, but there was never happy, asked for a trade after two years and was finally fired in 2020. Then was still short of the Raiders and now gets a chance in Cleveland.
McDowell was a two-round pick of the Seahawks in 2017, as a result of a car accident, he did not play. Later he was caught with alcohol at the wheel , 2018 the Seahawks separated from him. McDowell had further incidents with the police and was sentenced to eleven months in November 2019. In May of this year, the Browns had committed him, and obviously he had a good season preparation.
19.51 clock: At the beginning of today I had reported from the situation around Malcolm Butler , who considered personal reasons, to finish his career. Just had Cardinals-Coach Kliff Kingsbury today's PK , the tenor: The situation around Butler is still open, he himself did not yet talk to the cornerback. However, Kingsbury also added that it no doubt give to that Rookie Marco Wilson could not start in week 1 . Wilson, a four-round pick this year, had an excellent preseasone.
SAINTS: Michael Thomas misses at least six games
19.42: After the Patriots with Gilmore and the Packers with Bakhtiari, the New Orleans Saints also retain a superstar on the PUP list: Michael Thomas is due to his ankle operation at least the first six weeks miss. At the earliest then New Orleans could activate him again.
The alternative to this PUP scenario would be to take the player in the 53-man squad and then put it on the IR list - if he passes a medicine check and then go to IR with another injury. Then he could be reactivated after three weeks, but would just begin a square court for the time being. Who starts the season on the PUP list, is out of six weeks, but then blocks a square square at any time.
19.31: The New York Giants are separated from ifaDi odigbo. The Giants had guaranteed a million dollars to the Edge-Rusher in the offseason, he had never found his place to report locally So really. Could the Vikings interested in a comeback? Meanwhile, the Seahawks Cornerback John Reid was fired , who had just come from Houston a few days ago. Reid would be reportedly a candidate for Practice Squad, no other team should grab him now.
19.11: There was a somewhat surprising release in Buffalo: The bills are separated from Tight End Jacob Hollister . Hollister had 73 catches over the last two years and six touchdowns for the Seahawks, well possible that he is now eligible elsewhere. Should not be like that, Could the bills pick him back after the first 53 man squad stands.
19 clock: Returned again for a surprising discharge of Cam Newton : We have recorded a quick podcast to discuss the central questions around the Newton release. There's here!
18.42: If we are already known in famous brothers: the Chicago Bears separate from Riley Ridley, the younger brother of Falcons star Calvin Ridley. Riley Ridley was a four-round pick in the 2019 draft, over two years he started in Chicago only twelve balls for 144 yards.
18.35: The Jacksonville Jaguars have dismissed defensive Tackle Doug Costin and linebacker Quincy Williams . Williams, the brother of Jets-Lineman Quin Williams, was the completely surprising third-round pick in the 2019 draft and then had noticeable problems at step into the NFL. Last year, he was used only two games, Williams also accompanied injury problems in both years.
18.26 clock: Michael Jordan has obviously not only lost his starting place in Cincinnatis Offensive Line - he also has no easel place. The Cincinnati Bengals have released Jordan , Jordan launched ten games last year for the Bengals.
18:15: Meanwhile, the Atlanta Falcons have published their 53-man squad immediately on a beat. For the time being, the cut has made ex-top-10-pick Josh roses. Roses was only a few days ago as a result of the injury of A.J. McCarron came to Atlanta, but then could leave a good impression in the final preseason game. Rookie Feleipe Franks also stands in preliminary squad, well possible that one of them still has to go to make room for a later commitment. Among other things in the layoffs: Running Back d'Onta Foreman, Wide Receiver Trevor Davis and Offensive Lineman Willie Beavers.
18.09: Back to the north: The Green Bay Packers have just separated from Eq St. Brown. The German-American has been standing on the cant for a while and had missed parts of the season preparation injured. could he be reunited with his brother Amon-Ra in Detroit?
Packers for the time being without Bakhtiari - even Gilmore falls out longer
17.46: There would be a possible Cam Newton candidate as well as NFL insiderin Josina Anderson just reported, Want to at least engage in the Cowboys with Cam Newton. Newton could primarily be a noble Backup behind Dak Prescott be - maybe, and that's completely speculative, but is also a little concern in the back of the head at the Cowboys, which is concerned with the shoulder problems at Prescott, who almost accompanied him over the entire camp.
17.32: And another veteran will miss at least the first six games: The Green Bay Packers hold David Bakhtiari on the PUP List . The LEFT Tackle, which is still backed up by his cruciate ligament tear, will thus be able to play again at the earliest after six games. O-line all-purpose weapon ELGTON JENKINS could represent him so long. The opening program also for the offensive line has it in itself, Green Bay gets it over the first six weeks, among other things with the New Orleans Saints, the San Francisco 49ers and the Pittsburgh Steelers to do.
17.24: A large quarterback name still floats above the league: How the nfl NetWork just reports, is a trade from Deshaun Watson to today's squad deadline not to be expected. Ian Rapoport reports, That Houston, if there is no dramatic surprise, sets out to take Watson with the Regular Season.
Already yesterday reports were circulated, after which the Texans should be ready to keep Watson the season over the squad, but never to activate him for the matchday. That would cost Texans $ 10.5 million. The Texans would thus lay the trade on ice and attach for the upcoming offseason if Watson's legal situation may be clearer.
17.12: The Philadelphia Eagles Traden Offensive lineman Matt Pryor to Indianapolis. Pryor and a seventh-round pick 2022 Hiking to Indianapolis , in return Philly receives a six-round pick in the coming draft. The Colts had last lost Sam Tevi due to injury, Pryor, who probably did not manage to the Eagles squad, could provide additional depth.
17.01: Return to New England again: The patriots will have to deny the first six games without Cornerback Stephon Gilmore . Gilmore was set to the PUP list, which it can not be activated for at least the first six season games. Gilmore is still recovering from an surgery on the thigh , which he had undergone himself at the end of last season.
16:46: Not only Cam Newton was just fired, a whole series of other quarterbacks has just caught it - albeit maybe not quite with such a big name. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have fired quarterback Ryan Griffin . The Bucs have already had Brady with Blaine Gabbert and Rookie Kyle Trask already a lot of depth, Griffin is a candidate for the Practice Squad. And more backup quarterback layoffs: The Green Bay Packers are separating from Kurt Benkert * * The cowboys release Ben Dinucci and Garrett Gilbert. This is Cooper Rush the Backup behind Dak Prescott. **
Kracher in Foxboro: Patriots released Cam Newton
16.33: In order to take the Mac Jones perspective: In purely sporty, there is a sense to let Jones play directly . Jones does not have the ceiling that some of his rookie colleagues will bring - but he was already clear today, and that was seen in the Presesaon. For the patriots it could therefore be more sensible to fully exploit Jones' Rookie Treaty - which can only happen if he also plays directly. And all we have seen and heard about Jones over the summer, suggests that the rookie is ready. And that also marks a new time untreatment in Foxboro: For more than 21 years, Belichick has a rookie in exactly two. Quarterback start: Jacoby Brissett in week 3 and week 4 in the 2016 season.
16.20: The next open question is then: Who gets Cam Newton? Newton does not have to go through the Waiver Wire, he is free agent and may sign directly from any team. Could have a franchise like the Broncos here interest? Detroit maybe? Indianapolis? We are not talking about here in any scenario that Newton starts directly, but rather from offering an alternative if you have to take a wobbly starter.
16.13 clock: That's natural an absolute kracher . Mac Jones looked good in the season preparation and was the best of all rookie quarterbacks in the preseasone - but that the Patriots Newton simply released, hardly anyone expected to have expected . Newton had trained all summer with the starters and usually get the first snaps.
Maybe also with pure that Newton is not vaccinated , which last led that Newton could not participate in training for five days because there had been an administrative error in one of his daily Corona tests. Was that might for Belichick too much risk, and he wanted the clear cut? Either way: a hammer message, and we will get the Alabama duel between Tua Tagovailoa and Mac Jones in week 1.
16.07 clock: Breaking: The New England Patriots released Cam Newton! This is a real shocker, and then the quarterback question, which Bill Belichick did not want to answer, clarified: Rookie * Mac Jones starts in New England! *
16.03 clock: In Pittsburgh is also the Punter-Duel decided: The steelers have released Jordan Berry after six years , so it is clear that Rookie Pressley Harvin III in the coming season Punts for the Steelers.
15.51 clock: The Lions : Detroit also separates from Wide Receiver Geronimo Allison. The Lions had already dismissed Breshad Perriman yesterday, the Receiver Group in Detroit is a huge question mark. The just committed Trinity Benson could really have a role here. The receiver group in Detroit for the season could look like this: Tyrell Williams, Kalif Raymond, Quintz Cephus, Amon-Ra St. Brown and Trinity Benson.
15.42: Today is primarily about redundancies and trades - why not a positive message sprinkle: According to information from nfl-Network-insider Ian Rapoport , Dwayne Haskins will be the 53 man squad in Pittsburgh create. The Steelers had committed Haskins to his dismissal in Washington, in the preseasone he had delivered some solid performances. With Haskins and Mason Rudolph, Pittsburgh then had two options behind Big Ben, if both are really in week 1 still in the squad.
Washington: Moreland way - also fired barber
15.31: The surprising dismissal, however in Washington: The Football Team releases Cornerback Jimmy Moreland. Moreland was considered not a few as a candidate for a starting place in the capital, at least in rotation he seemed set. The Slot Corner is likely to find a new team sooner sooner. Moreland came to all 17 games last year and played a total of 625 Snaps.
15:24: It had signed, now it's official: The Washington Football team dismisses Running Back Peyton Barber. Washington is well positioned with Antonio Gibson and JD McKissic in the first guards anyway, in the first guards. Rookie Jaret Patterson a good preseasone. He could get Barber's squad. The team from the capital has separated from Wide Receiver Antonio Gandy-Golden. The four-round pick out of last year was hardly used in 2020, with its size and athletic, but he likes an interesting candidate for the Waiver Wire be.
15:18: The Carolina Panther ends the experiment with Will Grier. Grier was a third-round pick in the 2019 draft, but could never confirm the occasional high advance laurels in College days in Carolina. The Panthers have just fired Grier, which is also clear, that PJ Walker's backup is behind Sam Darnold . Also part of the Panthers-Cuts was Linebacker Josh Bynes , which last year has denied all 16 games for the Bengals, as well as Wide Receiver Keith Kirkwood.
15.12: The Miami Dolphins will continue to be a short process. Only in the spring was agreed with the Houston Texans on a trade for linebacker Benardrick McKinney , Edge-Rusher Shaq Lawson went to Houston in return. Then the Dolphins of McKinney demanded a salary reduction - and now released Miami the linebacker . Also Center Matt Skura was released , Skura had signed a one-year contract in Miami in March as a free agent from Baltimore. Thus, the Dolphins seem to be full of Michael Dead, and the Dolphins remain in their DNA under the current regime: who is not fully convinced, is quickly gone. Regardless of what he has cost or still costs. A very aggressive Roster Building Strategy.
15:05: If you are looking for a veteran running back, has another option to choose from: The Saints have just dismissed Running Back Devonta Freeman . This is likely to be sure of the square square of Latavius Murray.
3 pm: We'll stay briefly in Detroit: The Lions dismissed Linebacker Jahlani Tavai. That had already announced over the summer, the former two-round pick in the 2019 draft is remembered as a bust - At least in Detroit. The Lions had last tried to fulfill a trade, but could not convince a trade partner. **
Cardinals Bangen for Butler - Lions Trades for Broncos Receiver
14.53 clock: And if we are already there, two trades right away: The Denver Broncos Trader Receiver Trinity Benson to Detroit . Denver receives a fifth and seventrunning pick 2022 and the Lions will get a six-round pick 2023 in addition to Benson. In the deep recyving corps of the Broncos, the undrafted free agent of 2019 would have found no place, The Lions, on the other hand, have plenty of possibilities To build young receivers. Benson is a Speedster running the 40 yards in 4.44 seconds and who had a very good season preparation in Denver.
Meanwhile, LineBacker Jonas Griffith changes from San Francisco 49ers to Denver to the Broncos . The price: a six-round pick 2022 and a seventh-round pick 2023, denve also receives a seventh round pick 2022 from the niners. Griffith was a Undrafted Free Agent in the previous year, but 2020 was not used.
This kind of trades will still exist in various variants today. Players who would not make the squad in a team - and then they prefer to be bathed away for late-round pickpocks before they are released without notice.
14:47: There were already more trades: The Kansas City Chiefs Traden Offensive Lineman Yasir Durant to New England , and in return a seventh round pick 2022 \ . Durant, in the previous year, made the squad of the Chiefs as undrafted free agent, as a result of the retreading of the offensive line, he probably stood out before.
The Jacksonville Jaguars Meanwhile, a six-round pick in the coming year from the Seattle Seahawks , in exchange for Cornerback Sidney Jones. Jones could give his career to the Jaguars again last year in the Jaguars Bring and played in limited use - 303 Snaps overall - a solid season. In view of the Outside Corner's questions in Seattle, he could take a greater role in the Seahawks.
14.40: The first major message from today comes from Arizona: Cornerback Malcolm Butler , who came in the offseason from Tennessee and go to the new season as a number-1 corner in Arizona should, evidently consider his resignation! The registered nfl Network. Reason should be an incident in the personal environment of the former Super Bowl Champion. If Butler actually decided to step this step, Byron Murphy, Robert Alford and several rookies would have to occupy the Cornerback group at the cards. Butler had already absent over the past week, this absence seems to be linked to the situation which Butler is going through.
14:33: So that all are on a stand - These were the most important Newsdes yesterday.
- The Indianapolis Colts had straight back Carson Wentz after his injury break, now the quarterback must expand again: Wentz must, just like Center Ryan Kelly and Wide Receiver Zach Pascal, must be on the COVID 19 list. He has to extend as a risk contact at least five days, which means that in the face of the applicable NFL regulations means that Wentz, just like Kelly and Pascal, are not vaccinated. A possible use in week 1 against the Seahawks is thus further open.
- The Cincinnati Bengals and the New York Giants have agreed on a trade: Center Billy Price changes to the giants, in return comes defensive lineman B.J. Hill to Cincinnati. Price was a round-round pick in 2018, but so far remained significantly behind the expectations. Hill, who had 22 quarterback pressures for the Giants last year, could, on the other hand, could play a role in Cincinnati directly in the rotation. All the more curious that the Bengals also get a conditional screen-round pick.
- The Arizona Cardinals were the most active team in terms of the first wave of redundancies. Among other things: Wide Receiver Keesean Johnson, who for many had a square place for many, as well as Safety Chris Banjo, last year temporarily starter in Arizona. With Johnson's discharge, a square area for Receiver Andy Isabella seems almost secured.
- Even the Detroit Lions have clearly thinned out their squad. Among other things, Wide Receiver Breshad Perriman had to go, just like backup offensive lineman Tyrell Crosby.
- The Baltimore Ravens should despite the violation of J.K. Dobbins currently have no interest in an experienced running back as a substitute. Instead, you are satisfied with your own lane depth in the backfield. Recently, recently reported reports on possible interest in free agent Todd Gurley, insider reports do not meet the truth right now
- According to the Houston Texans, the Houston Texans are ready to lead Deshaun Watson the entire season in the 53-man squad and to activate him for no game. That would cost Texans $ 10.5 million. It underlines that Houston is not ready to sell the quarterback even in this offseason under value.
14.20: The last preseason match day is complete, for GMS and Head Coaches now begins the most unpleasant part of each year: the squad must be radically shortened. Each of the 53 players, all teams may still have in the squad at 22 o'clock of our time at this time of Tuesday evening, which in reversal means that every team must be released even more than 20 players.
It is also an attractive window to bring last trades to the stage before the start of the season. Here at Newton you remain up to date, we accompany the hours to the deadline in the live ticker.
