The Lions waived Green (concussion) with a failed physical designation Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Green is seemingly still dealing with the effects of the concussion that landed him on Detroit's injured reserve last August. The 25-year-old caught one pass for two yards in nine games for the Lions back in 2023.

Knue was waived by the Buccaneers on Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Knue will head to waivers after signing a reserve/future contract with the team back in January. He spent last season on Tampa Bay's practice squad but didn't appear in any games.

The Buccaneers released Callaway on Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Callaway signed a reserve/future contract with Tampa Bay in January, but the team no longer had a need for him after drafting Emeka Egbuka in the first round and Tez Johnson in the seventh round. Callaway played only four offensive snaps in two games with the Buccaneers during the 2024 campaign and will now look to catch on with another team.

Brooks is slated to sign with the Commanders as an undrafted free agent, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Brooks transferred to Louisville in 2024 after spending the first three years of his college career with Alabama. He served mostly as an outside receiver while catching passes from Saints second-round pick Tyler Shough, with the duo connecting for 61 catches, 1,013 yards and nine touchdowns in 2024. Brooks will look to use his 6-foot-5 frame and contested catch ability to stand out from the competition during the Commanders' OTAs and minicamp.

Holden signed with the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent Monday, Tommy Yarrish of the team's official site reports.

Holden will head to Dallas after having hauled in 45 passes for 718 yards and five touchdowns during his final season at Oregon. He will look to carve out a role for himself in the team's crowded receiver room that lacks proven talent behind CeeDee Lamb.

Hudson is slated to sign with the Panthers as an undrafted free agent, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

The wide receiver transferred to UCF ahead of the 2022 campaign and started 34 games over the next three seasons, recording 47 catches for 770 yards and four touchdowns in 2024, a 44-900-8 line in 2023 and a 39-641-7 line the year before that. If he stays with Carolina, he should have a chance to compete for a spot in a receiving corps led by the team's first-round picks the last two years, Tetairoa McMillan and Xavier Legette, and veteran Adam Thielen.

The Browns have applied the unrestricted free-agent tender to Moore, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

If Moore ends up signing with another team by June 21, the transaction will count toward the NFL compensatory draft pick formula. This is notable because Moore had an official visit with the Bills on Monday. A 2021 second-round pick of the Jets, Moore was a regular in the Browns' receiving corps the last two seasons, racking up 120 catches (on 205 targets) for 1,178 yards and three touchdowns in 17 regular-season games.

Johnson signed a contract with the Browns on Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

After spending the first five years of his career with the Steelers, the 2019 third-rounder was shipped to the Panthers last offseason, dealt to the Ravens in late October and also had a brief stint with the Texans down the stretch after a tumultuous time in Baltimore. Between the three teams, Johnson hauled in 33 of 67 targets for 375 yards and three touchdowns in 12 regular-season games. All but the TD mark were career lows. Upon joining Cleveland, he'll be a part of his third AFC North organization and likely will be in the mix for regular snaps in a receiving corps without established options beyond Jerry Jeudy and Cedric Tillman (concussion).

The Steelers plan to sign Woods, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Woods is coming off a 2024 regular season in which he recorded 20 catches (on 30 targets) for 203 yards and zero touchdowns in 15 contests for the Texans. With the Steelers, the 33-year-old will add experience and depth to a wideout corps currently led by DK Metcalf and George Pickens, with Calvin Austin and Roman Wilson, among others, also in the mix for targets.

George is slated to sign with the Panthers as an undrafted free agent, Mike Kaye of the Charlotte Observer reports.

George spent his entire four-year collegiate career at Miami but didn't see significant playing time until his final two seasons. During that stretch, the 6-foot wideout caught 110 passes for 1,616 yards and 16 touchdowns across 26 games, serving as the team's No. 2 receiver behind Xavier Restrepo. Given George's high-level production over his final two seasons, he will likely compete for a depth role in Carolina's wide receiver room this summer.
