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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Pittsburgh waived Plumlee on Tuesday, Teresa Varley of the team's official site reports.

Plumlee did not get selected in the 2024 NFL Draft, but he did sign with the Steelers in April as a free agent out of UCF. He was brought in to complete against Kyle Allen for the No. 3 quarterback job behind Russell Wilson and Justin Fields. Plumlee didn't see any action until the Steelers' preseason finale against the Lions on Saturday, during which he completed three of four passes for 32 yards. Assuming he clears waivers, Plumlee will look to catch on with another team, likely as a practice-squad quarterback.

The Bengals released Woodside on Tuesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.

Woodside was unable to win a 53-man roster spot as the Bengals' QB3 behind Joe Burrow and Jake Browning. He faired okay during the preseason, completing 41 of 58 passes for 379 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Woodside could land on the practice squad as an emergency option.

Ehlinger won a spot on Indianapolis' 53-man roster to begin the regular season.

He'll remain on the active roster as the third quarterback, but may not see any regular-season action if Anthony Richardson and Joe Flacco are healthy.

The Bears waived Reed on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Reed signed with the Bears in April as an undrafted free agent out of Western Kentucky. He was competing against Tyson Bagent during offseason workouts and training camp for the backup quarterback job behind 2024 first overall pick Caleb Williams. Across three preseason outings, Reed completed 12 of 16 pass attempts for 123 yards and one touchdown. He could elect to stick around on Chicago's practice squad, assuming he clears waivers.
