Dorian Thompson-Robinson QB | PHI
Browns' Dorian Thompson-Robinson: May be top backup
Thompson-Robinson could head into Week 1 as the top backup to starting quarterback Deshaun Watson, as the Browns are reportedly entertaining trade offers for reserve signal-callers Jameis Winston and Tyler Huntley, according to Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The Browns kept four quarterbacks on their initial 53-man roster, so it would seem they are in the market to deal at least one of them. Winston was viewed as the top backup quarterback during training camp and the preseason, while the competition for the third spot was between Thompson-Robinson and Huntley.

Browns' Jameis Winston: Candidate for trade
The Browns will field trade calls for Winston after the team kept four quarterbacks on the initial 53-man roster Tuesday, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Along with Winston, the Browns plan to listen to offers on Tyler Huntley, which suggests Dorian Thompson-Robinson may be viewed as the top backup to Deshaun Watson. Something will happen between now and the regular season, as keeping four quarterbacks would be an unnecessary luxury.

John Wolford: Released by Tampa Bay
Wolford was released by the Buccaneers on Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Andrew Peasley QB | NYJ
Andrew Peasley: Doesn't make 53-man roster
Peasley was waived by the Jets on Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
New York has veterans Aaron Rodgers and Tyrod Taylor as its top two options at quarterback, and Peasley competed with Adrian Martinez for the No. 3 QB role during the preseason. Neither made the 53-man roster, but at least one of the two signal-callers is likely to end up on the practice squad. Peasley completed 20 of 33 pass attempts for 181 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions during three preseason games while adding 24 yards on seven rushes.

Adrian Martinez QB | SF
Adrian Martinez: Jettisoned by Jets
Martinez was waived by the Jets on Tuesday, Ethan Greenberg of the team's official site reports.
Martinez was signed by New York in July and played in all three of the team's preseason contests, completing 25 of 47 passes for 270 yards, no touchdowns and one interception while carrying six times for 51 yards. He never had much of a chance to play a major role to open the campaign with Aaron Rodgers and Tyrod Taylor serving as New York's top two options at quarterback, but Martinez could land a spot on the team's practice squad if he clears waivers.

Devin Leary QB | BAL
Devin Leary: Waived by Baltimore
Leary was waived by the Ravens on Tuesday, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports.
The quarterback failed to catch on behind Lamar Jackson and Josh Johnson despite being selected in the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Leary played his college ball at NC State and Kentucky, and tossed 35 touchdowns as a junior.

Trace McSorley QB | WAS
Trace McSorley: Released Tuesday
McSorley was released by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.
The quarterback got a chance to suit up for Washington during the preseason after signing Aug. 15, but he ultimately remained behind Jayden Daniels, Marcus Mariota and Jeff Driskel on the depth chart. McSorley has not seen regular-season action since 2022.

Jason Bean QB | IND
Jason Bean: Waived by Indy
The Colts waived Bean on Tuesday, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports.
Bean signed with the Colts in May as an undrafted free agent. The Kansas product competed against Sam Ehlinger in training camp for the No. 3 quarterback job behind Anthony Richardson and Joe Flacco. Across three preseason games, Bean completed 15 of 19 passes for 197 yards, one touchdown and one interception while adding 53 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries. He injured his shoulder on his one-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter of the Colts' preseason finale against the Bengals on Thursday. If he clears waivers, Bean could be invited back by Indianapolis to be on the practice squad, or he could look to take his talents elsewhere.

Carter Bradley QB | JAC
Carter Bradley: Waived by Las Vegas
The Raiders waived Bradley on Tuesday, per the team's official site.
Bradley was signed by Las Vegas as an undrafted free agent in April but was always a long shot to make the roster. During the preseason, he completed 17 of 34 passes for 225 yards, one touchdown and one interception. The South Alabama product could end up on the Raiders' practice squad if he goes unclaimed during the waiver process.
