  Browns | Saalim Hakim released    Fri Apr 29, 06:19 PM

Cleveland Browns WR Saalim Hakim was released Friday, April 29.

  Browns | Saalim Hakim signs    Mon Apr 25, 02:53 PM

Free-agent WR Saalim Hakim (Lions) signed an undisclosed deal with the Cleveland Browns Monday, April 25.

Footballguys view: Hakim tried out for the Browns last week at their voluntary minicamp. Undrafted out of Tartleton in 2011, Hakim began his pro career in the UFL with the Las Vegas Locomotives. The Browns are the sixth NFL team he's been on, and Hakim will be hard-pressed to make the roster...even on a WR-needy team like the Browns.

  Jets | Several players released    Sun Aug 30, 01:51 PM

New York Jets WR Saalim Hakim, WR Austin Hill, WR Jonathon Rumph and TE Matt LaCosse were released Sunday, Aug. 30.

Footballguys view: Hill was a rising star at Arizona before tearing an ACL in 2013. He hasn't seemed to get back to his previous level of competition and would be lucky to land on a practice squad somewhere at this point.

  Jets | Saalim Hakim shines    Fri Aug 7, 09:28 PM

New York Jets WR Saalim Hakim received extra reps in practice Friday, Aug. 7, after WR Chris Owusu (head) left with an injury. Hakim scored two touchdowns, catching a deep ball over CB Antonio Cromartie on a pass from QB Geno Smith and scoring in a red-zone drill on a pass from QB Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Footballguys view: Hakim will be on special teams first and foremost but with the injury to rookie Devin Smith, there might be room for more from him. Still, behind Brandon Marshall and Eric Decker (as well as Jeremy Kerley), it's unlikely he has much fantasy impact and shouldn't be someone taking up roster space.

  Jets | Saalim Hakim might not crack roster    Wed Aug 5, 10:34 PM

New York Jets WR Saalim Hakim is fast and does a good job on special teams, but he does not have good hands and might not be one of the team's seven receivers retained on the 53-man roster.

  Jets | Three offensive players could get more time    Thu Dec 19, 09:53 PM

New York Jets RB Alex Green, WR Saalim Hakim and TE Zach Sudfeld could receive more playing time in the last two games of the season because the team wants to evaluate some of their players.

Footballguys view: Sudfeld never lived up to the hype of his "Baby Gronk" nickname in New England, but the long-term tight end job in New York is wide open. Hakim is a speedy wide receiver formerly with the Saints who could make a living as a deep threat if he starts to make plays in his limited opportunity.

  Saints | Six signed    Wed Sep 4, 10:03 AM

The New Orleans Saints re-signed QB Ryan W. Griffin, WR Saalim Hakim, TE Michael Higgins, FB Austin Johnson, OT Marcel Jones and CB Jumal Rolle to the practice squad.

Footballguys view: We like Griffin here in super deep dynasty leagues. He's a classic pocket passer who sees the field well and has the confidence to challenge a defense vertically.

  Saints | Younger WRs could get more chances    Tue Aug 6, 12:27 AM

New Orleans WRs Saalim Hakim, Preston Parker, Kenny Stills, Andy Tanner and Nick Toon could each see bigger roles following the injury to WR Joe Morgan (knee), who is likely to miss at least a few weeks. However, the team values experience in the top three receiver roles, and it is believed veteran WR Steve Breaston will get a long look as the No. 3 first before any of the younger players.

Footballguys view: Toon is the player to watch here. If healthy Toon has good size and the wingspan to make plays in the red zone. Toon is not a quick twitch athlete and needs to be a more refined route runner if he wants to play up to his potential.

  Saints | Week 17 Inactives    Sun Dec 30, 11:34 AM

The New Orleans Saints have declared DL Akiem Hicks, CB Jabari Greer, TE Michael Higgins, OG Ricky Henry, WR Saalim Hakim, LB Scott Shanle, DL Tyrunn Walker inactive for Week 17.

Footballguys view: The Saints have been playing terrific football as of late. Chris Ivory is active and the Saints offense should be one of the most potent plays of the day despite their being out of playoff contention.

  Cowboys | Several UDFAs to receive guaranteed money    Wed Jun 20, 12:21 PM

Dallas Cowboys WRs Tim Benford and Saalim Hakim and LS Charley Hughlett will receive a guaranteed portion of their 2012 base salary as part of the contracts they signed when they were undrafted free agents. Benford will receive $20,000 guaranteed, Hughlett will receive $10,000 and Hakim will receive $7,500 in addition to the $10,000 signing bonus he received when he signed. The players will receive the money even if they do not make the final roster.

Footballguys view: Keep an eye on Benford in deep dynasty leagues. Our very own Cecil Lammey was impressed with Benford during the week of Shrine Game practices earlier this year. He's extremely quick in and out of his breaks and has an aggressive attitude when the ball is in the air. Benford may not make the final roster, but could develop as a Practice Squad prospect.

  Cowboys | Announce UDFA signings     Mon Apr 30, 12:22 PM

The Dallas Cowboys announced Monday, April 30, they have agreed to terms with undrafted rookie free-agent OT Jeff Adams (Columbia), OT Levy Adcock (Oklahoma State), WR Cole Beasley (Southern Methodist), WR Tim Benford (Tennessee Tech), TE George Bryan (North Carolina State), OT Taylor Dever (Notre Dame), RB Lance Dunbar (North Texas), OG Harland Gunn (Miami), WR Saalim Hakim (Tarleton State), LB Adrian Hamilton (Prairie View A&M), LS Charley Hughlett (Central Florida), WR Donavon Kemp (UTEP), OG Ronald Leary (Memphis), CB Isaac Madison (Arkansas), OT Tyrone Novikoff (Idaho), RB Darrell Scott (South Florida), CB Lionel Smith (Texas A&M), TE Andrew Szczerba (Penn State), LB Aston Whiteside (Abilene Christian), S Eddie Whitley (Virginia Tech) and CB Troy Woolfolk (Michigan).

Footballguys view: We like the addition of Scott here. He was the number one high school RB when he entered college and attended the University of Colorado. He ended up transferring to South Florida and added a lot of muscle to his frame. He's a big, bullish runner with little wiggle in the open field.
