Former Browns claimed: Seahawks claim CB Simeon

Thomas Womens Larry Ogunjobi Jersey , Giants get CB Mike Jordan If you thought the Cleveland Browns were already deep at cornerback in 2018, think about this: they also had two cornerbacks claimed off waivers by other teams: Mike Jordan and Simeon Thomas.Jordan was a player who the Browns claimed last year off waivers at this time. He arguably ended up contributing the most out of the team’s waiver claims, which still wasn’t too much. This year, he started seeing more action has camp came to a close, due to an injury to E.J. Gaines. But with Gaines, Denzel Ward, T.J. Carrie, Terrance Mitchell Authentic Darren Fells Jersey , and Briean Boddy-Calhoun all ahead of him on the depth chart, there simply wasn’t enough room for him.Thomas was the only draft pick of GM John Dorsey’s that the club cut this year. The presumption is that he would have been placed on the practice squad, but Seattle grabbed him for their active roster. They will see what the tall, lanky corner has to offer — but he will need to work on not using his hands to battle receivers down the field so much. Caleb Brantley thought the Washington Redskins might draft him out of Florida last year.They passed on him like 30 other NFL teams did before the Cleveland Browns finally took the defensive lineman in the sixth round. Brantley faced a misdemeanor battery complaint that was dismissed after the draft.The Redskins signed Brantley on Monday after he was cut by the Browns, hoping his off-field issues are behind him and he gives them an upgrade over Anthony Lanier, whom they waived with an injury designation."From what we understood, the charges are dropped and everything's OK," coach Jay Gruden said. "He's been there in Cleveland the last couple years Authentic Damarious Randall Jersey , so there haven't been any issues yet. We'll see. We understand who he is, where he comes from and what he's done and what he's going to do, and we've got to hope that we get the best out of him both as a player and as a person."The 24-year-old Brantley had 18 tackles and two sacks last season as a rookie. After a sack and two tackles in the preseason weren't enough to make the Browns' roster, he hopes defensive line coach Jim Tomsula can get him back to the level of his junior season at Florida when he led the Gators with 9陆 tackles for loss and had 2陆 sacks."I feel like I can add pressure up the middle and just be a disruptive force," Brantley said. "I just get in there and get vertical and penetrate. And I feel like I can be that kind of player here. I feel like I can learn a lot from Coach Tomsula. He's one of the best D-line coaches. I'm just looking forward to learning from him and just doing what he asks me to do."Brantley is the Redskins' fifth defensive lineman 25 or younger, joining first-round picks from Alabama Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne, Tim Settle and Matt Ioannidis. Gruden said those players and veteran Ziggy Hood are ahead of Brantley, who seems like a long shot to play in the season opener Sunday at Arizona.More likely Womens Denzel Ward Jersey , he's a long-term prospect for the Redskins, who moved on from Lanier after he was hampered recently by a hip flexor groin injury. He made Washington's 53-man roster as an undrafted free agent in 2016 and had 14 tackles and five sacks last season."We like Anthony," Gruden said. "He did a lot of great things for this organization. But at the end of the day, we thought Caleb adds a little bit more to the defensive line room."NOTES: WR Maurice Harris (concussion) and LB Zach Brown (oblique) did not practice Monday. Gruden expects Brown to be ready for the Cardinals game. If Harris isn't cleared by Sunday, it could open a spot for undrafted rookie Cam Sims to be active. ... The Redskins added QB Nic Shimonek and DT Caushaud Lyons to the practice squad. Shimonek, an undrafted free agent out of Texas Tech who spent training camp with the Chargers, gives Washington a developmental prospect they haven't had since Nate Sudfeld. www.nflshopoutlet.com/detroit-lions
