Seahawks weigh roster move as Hankerson eyes college transfer portal

The Seahawks are reportedly set to waive undrafted running back Anthony Hankerson during roster cuts, with Hankerson hoping to clear waivers to return to college and enter the transfer portal. Hankerson signed with the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent before joining Seattle, and he previously rushed for over 1,000 yards across two seasons at Oregon State. The development underscores the transfer-portal chaos now spilling into NFL rosters.

Bengals Eye Upside Add at Running Back: Trey Benson on Waivers

The Bengals could claim Arizona’s Tre y Benson off waivers to bolster depth behind Chase Brown and Samaje Perine. Benson, a 24-year-old former Florida State star and 2024 third-round pick, has shown NFL upside but has knee-injury durability questions; if he clears waivers he would revert to Arizona’s injured reserve, leaving Cincinnati to weigh his medical outlook against the potential long-term payoff as it competes with other backs for depth.

Cardinals waive RB Trey Benson after knee setback

The Arizona Cardinals waived/injured running back Trey Benson (knee) and he would revert to injured reserve if he clears waivers. Benson, a 24-year-old back who has 92 career carries for 451 yards and 1 TD, has been competing for touches behind James Conner, Tyler Allgeier, and Jeremiyah Love, and the team signaled a cautious approach to his recovery as roster decisions loom.

53-Man Roster Countdown: Key Dates and Rules Ahead of NFL Cutdown Day

NFL teams must trim to a 53-player active roster by 3 p.m. PT on Aug. 30, with ongoing adjustments after that; players with fewer than four accrued seasons go through waivers (claims due by 10 a.m. PT on Aug. 31) while players with four or more seasons are released. Practice squads can hold up to 16 players (17 if the International Pathway Program), and the waiver order for the first three weeks uses the draft order, granting early access to teams with top picks. These cuts and rules shape Week 1 preparations for all teams.

Giants Claim Philip Abner Off Waivers, Bolster Left-Handed Depth

The San Francisco Giants claimed left-hander Philip Abner off waivers from Arizona, optioned him to Triple-A Sacramento, and added left-hander Matt Wilkinson, with Reiver Sanmartin sent down to open a roster spot. Catcher Daniel Susac and outfielder Harrison Bader were moved to the 60-day injured list to clear 40-man space. Abner’s big-league numbers are limited, but his solid minor-league track record gives the Giants a chance to evaluate him and add left-handed depth.

Royals DFA Starling Marte as Roster Shuffle Shifts Outfield

The Kansas City Royals designated Starling Marte for assignment after reinstating Vinny Pasquantino and Maikel Garcia from the injured list and recalling Connor Thomas, with Marte’s spot opening due to underperformance (.242/.298/.314 this year, 71 wRC+) on a one-year deal that included $1M salary and up to $2M in bonuses. Marte will be placed on waivers; if unclaimed he could become a free agent, while the Royals still owe the remaining salary and any bonuses would die on release. Any club that claims him would only owe a prorated league minimum salary.

Trump's Freedom Haulers: Fast-Tracking Veterans into Trucking

Trump's Freedom Haulers: Fast-Tracking Veterans into Trucking

President Trump unveiled the Freedom Haulers initiative to fast-track veterans into trucking by allowing qualified veterans with heavy-vehicle experience to waive the CDL road-skills test (and, in participating states, some knowledge testing) with expedited training for others; advocates, including a veteran trucking executive, say disciplined veterans are safer on the road and the industry needs drivers, while the plan also targets removing unqualified illegal alien truckers. About 34 states are on board, Trump cited data of veterans having 42% fewer accidents, and officials highlighted strong pay in trucking (roughly 80,000 to 100,000 dollars annually).

Ravens Waive Heisman Finalist Pavia Three Months Into UDFA Contract

The Baltimore Ravens waived quarterback Diego Pavia, a Vanderbilt Heisman finalist, just three months into his three-year, $3.1 million UDFA deal with zero guaranteed money. Pavia will go through a 24-hour waiver period during which other teams can claim his contract; if unclaimed, he becomes a free agent and will try to land with another NFL club, likely continuing to compete for a depth-chart role behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley.

Ravens Waive Diego Pavia, Ending Rookie QB's Shot at QB3

The Baltimore Ravens waived undrafted quarterback Diego Pavia just before rookies report, ending his bid to be the QB3 behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. Pavia, Vanderbilt’s 2025 Heisman runner-up, competed with Skylar Thompson and Joe Fagnano for the third QB spot, with Baltimore likely keeping Jackson and Huntley and stashing the third quarterback on the practice squad. The piece also notes potential future destinations for Pavia, including the New York Jets, the CFL’s Winnipeg Blue Bombers, the UFL, or a post-football media path.

Pirates Add Hassell III in Low-Risk Nationals Swap

Washington traded outfielder Robert Hassell III to the Pirates for cash or a player to be named later after Hassell cleared waivers and was outrighted to Triple-A. The move gives Pittsburgh a low-risk depth piece with potential upside if Hassell can rebound, while Washington sheds a roster spot and salary considerations as Hassell, a former top prospect, has struggled at the majors and in the minors.
