Some transactions today

- The Jets RB Austin Walter off of waivers from the 49ers (reuniting with OC Mike LaFleur)

- The Giants waived DE Breeland Speaks

Hate to see a fellow Ole Miss Rebel cut, but

no better time to use this gif

I wonder what sparked this move.

There haven’t been any team activities, and the Giants didn’t draft any defensive linemen. Did he miss a workout? Show up out of shape? Hit on Rooney Mara?

Welp

Probably official signing of Raymond Johnson. He even took his number.

Guess that...

Thanks Eric. Good point about the trigger for waiving Speaks.

Yup. Makes sense.

How far does a second-round pick have to fall to get replaced by a UDFA without even making it to mini-camp? Shows that even very good teams make very bad choices in the draft. To Reid's credit, he's not afraid to cut his losses (no pun intended).
