Bears | Chicago works out three receivers Tue Nov 28, 07:08 PM
Free-agent WRs Mekale McKay (Titans), Canaan Severin (Giants) and Rodney Smith (Seahawks) worked out for the Chicago Bears Tuesday, Nov. 28.
| Footballguys view: With Tre McBride waived on Tuesday the Bears have only four WRs on the active roster. They do have three interesting deep dynasty prospects (DeMarcus Ayers, Tanner Gentry, Nelson Spruce) on their practice squad currently. These workouts are likely just to update their emergency list. |

Seahawks | Seattle makes roster cuts Sun Sep 3, 12:50 AM
The Seattle Seahawks released QB Trevone Boykin, WR Cyril Grayson, DT Tylor Harris, WR Kenny Lawler, TE Marcus Lucas, FB Marcel Reece, WR Darreus Rogers, WR Rodney Smith, TE Tyrone Swoopes and WR Kasen Williams Saturday, Sept. 2.
| Footballguys view: Austin Davis will back up Russell Wilson. Williams is a bit of a surprise after a strong preseason but he was claimed by Cleveland and could quickly bid to be their #3 receiver. |

Free-agent QB Keith Wenning (Bengals) and WR Rodney Smith (Seahawks) worked out for the Oakland Raiders Monday, Dec. 12.
| Footballguys view: Wenning is a smart passer with an average arm who has bounced around the league. Smith is a big-bodied receiver but he drops way too many passes. The Raiders are just updating their emergency list here. |

Joe Thomas (non-injury) also participated in practice and is no longer on the injury report.
| Footballguys view: Rubin (and maybe Billy Winn) will return this week and help a run defense that couldn't stop Denard Robinson last week. This dampens the enthusiasm around playing Darren McFadden this week just a bit. |
