The Redskins released Quick on Saturday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Despite the whittled state of this receiving corps, Quick finds himself out of a job. The veteran wideout will seek out employment elsewhere.

The Chiefs waived Thompson on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The Chiefs had a couple depth receiving roles up for grabs, but Thompson was competing with more than a handful of other pass catchers for the opportunity. Ultimately, the undrafted rookie out of Toledo was unable to show enough during camp for the job. He remains a candidate for the team's practice squad should he clear waivers.

The Redskins cut Sims on Saturday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

The fact that Sims is looking for a new team comes as a bit of a surprise, considering he had been the frontrunner for the final receiver spot throughout the preseason. The Alabama product could be a viable option for another team looking to bolster their receiving corps this season.

The Bills cut McCloud on Saturday, Ryan Talbot of NY Upstate reports.

McCloud was hoping to take a step forward in his second year, after he played just 10 games last season, hauling in five passes for 36 yards. The fact that he can contribute in the punt and kick return games only adds to his value to find another team elsewhere, an opportunity he might get given that he had a strong preseason. McCloud is also a prime practice squad candidate for the Bills.

Jones (undisclosed) was released by the Giants on Saturday, Ryan Dunleavy of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.

The Notre Dame product was looking to earn a depth role in the Big Apple, but failed to do so. Jones also left Friday's preseason game with an injury, but per Dunleavy, the wideout didn't sustain anything serious.

Ross was waived by the Panthers on Friday, Max Henson of the team's official website reports.

Ross joined the Panthers in April following the dissolution of the AAF. He shined in the league, which is what landed him a roster spot in Carolina so quickly. However, he was unable to show enough during camp to carve out a spot on the 53-man roster. He figures to be a candidate for the team's practice squad.

Berrios was let go by the Patriots on Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

It's not entirely surprising the 2018 sixth-round pick will hit waivers considering the Patriots' depth at wide receiver, but it was previously believed the receiver had put together a strong enough preseason to potentially make the roster as a special teams player. Berrios will likely return to the team's practice squad should he pass through waivers, but it's entirely possible the 23-year-old could find a different home before the start of the regular season.

Humphrey secured his lone target for 43 yards in the Saints' 16-13 loss to the Dolphins in Thursday's preseason finale.

Humphrey led the Saints in receiving, though all of his production came on a long 43-yard gainer. The talented rookie out of Texas has shined in camp this offseason, and he has a strong chance to make the final 53-man roster.

Cobbs was waived by the Saints on Friday, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

Cobbs was considered on the final 53-man roster bubble, but he ultimately did not make the cut. An undrafted rookie in 2018, he spent time on the Saints' practice squad, and he figures to do so again assuming he does not find a new destination. He led the team in both targets and receptions in their final preseason game against the Dolphins.

Rogers caught one of two targets for 10 yards in Thursday night's 25-19 preseason loss to the Panthers.

This was a forgettable preseason for Rogers, with Pittsburgh taking a long look at Johnny Holton, Diontae Johnson and others in an extremely deep corps of wide receivers. The Steelers also gave extended looks to Johnson and Diontae Spencer at punt returner, leaving Rogers' future with the team in question.
