  Jaguars | One added to active roster    Tue Dec 18, 09:45 AM

  Giants | 13 players released    Fri Aug 31, 01:03 PM

The New York Giants have released DT Marcus Thomas, DE Matt Broha, WR Isaiah Stanback, TE Larry Donnell, LB Jake Muasau, LB Greg Jones II, OT Matt McCants, DE Craig Marshall, WR David Douglas, WR Dan DePalma, OT Selvish Capers, RB Danny Ware and DT Dwayne Hendricks.

Footballguys view: Ware has been with the Giants for five years and both Super Bowl titles. His release makes David Wilson the primary backup/committee partner with Ahmad Bradshaw, and also means Andre Brown has possibly come back far enough from his achilles tear to be worth a roster spot.

  Giants | Nine signed to future contracts    Wed Feb 8, 04:01 PM

The New York Giants have signed QB Ryan Perrilloux, RB Andre Brown, WRs Dan DePalma and Isaiah Stanback, TE Chris Hopkins, OL Selvish Capers, DE Adrian Tracy, DT Dwayne Hendricks and CB Brandon Bing to future contracts. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Brown could be important next year with a good offseason, assuming Brandon Jacobs is a cap cut. He was drafted by the Giants in the fourth round of the 2009 draft, so the brass definitely saw something in him on film as a collegiate back. He has to overcome a torn achilles suffered in 2009 camp that might have permanently robbed him of his upside.

  Seahawks | Stanback could also play QB    Fri Jun 11, 04:22 PM

The Tacoma News-Tribune reports Seattle WR Isaiah Stanback might see time at QB during training camp, which could help him make the final roster. He was a former QB in college for the Washington Huskies. "He can offer some help to do some things if we needed it at the quarterback spot to salvage a few situations," coach Pete Carroll said. Seattle already has three quarterbacks on the depth chart, but Carroll's comment suggests that he might see Stanback as a possible Wildcat QB on occasion. Stanback also has shown that he can return kicks in the league.

Footballguys view: Stanback was a star quarterback in college for the Washington Huskies, but his pro career has been marred by injuries and inconsistencies. Providing more versatility by playing QB, WR, and KR could help him earn a spot on the final roster.

Patriots.com reports the New England Patriots have signed practice squad WR Isaiah Stanback to their active roster. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Stanback, a former quarterback from the University of Washington, is a very versatile player. He's spent most of his pro career with the Cowboys, but never lived up to his potential due to nagging injuries. He'll have a shot to contribute now with the Patriots. He'll split time with Sam Aiken as the third wide receiver until Julian Edelman comes back from injury.

  Cowboys | Stanback, Ogletree competing for last receiver spot    Thu Aug 20, 12:49 PM

Tim MacMahon, of The Dallas Morning News, reports Dallas Cowboys WR Isaiah Stanback are competing with WR Kevin Ogletree for the final wide receiver spot on the roster.

Footballguys view: Stanback is extremely athletic and the former Washington Huskies QB could run the Wildcat offense for the Cowboys. He has struggled to stay healthy so far in his pro career, and now is in danger of being cut. Ogletree has room to add more muscle to his frame, but already knows how to use his body to get position on defensive backs. He is not the most creative after the catch, but he does have strong hands and good body control to run sideline routes.

  Cowboys | Stanback's roster spot in danger    Fri Jul 31, 09:17 AM

Matt Mosley, of ESPN.com, writes that Cowboys WR Isaiah Stanback "isn't long for this team." According to Mosley, Stanback has been dropping too many easy passes.

Footballguys view: Stanback is an impressive athlete, and he showed the toughness to make the transition to wide receiver as a QB at Washington in his collegiate career, but injury problems have slowed his development. Maybe Stanback's spot will be taken by 4th and Long winner Jesse Holley, who has impressed Mosley with his precise routes and hands.

Footballguys view: Stanback is the athletic former Washington Huskies QB that has struggled with a lisfranc injury, a twice separated shoulder, and now the knee surgery. He could provide much needed depth as the Cowboys 4th WR if he stays healthy, and also has added value as a Wildcat QB.
