The Cardinals waived Cardenas on Monday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Cardenas did not log a target across the Cardinals' three preseason games. The undrafted rookie will have the opportunity to explore his next options if he clears waivers, though he could remain in Arizona as a member of the team's practice squad.

Hudson was waived by the Panthers on Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official website reports.

Hudson signed with the Panthers as an undrafted free agent in April, recording three catches for 19 yards while appearing in two preseason games with the team. The wide receiver will now look for his next opportunity, which certainly could come as a member of Carolina's practice squad.

Pickett (hamstring) was traded from the Browns to the Raiders on Monday in exchange for a fifth-round pick.

The Browns had a logam at quarterback, while the Raiders recently lost their projected backup, Aidan O'Connell (wrist,) for at least six weeks. That makes this trade logical for both sides, with Pickett now in line to back up Geno Smith for the Raiders, assuming he is healthy enough to suit up Week 1. While Pickett has been a disappointment given his first-round pedigree, he should be servicable relative to other backups if called upon.

Lynch-Adams was waived by the Panthers on Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official website reports.

Lynch-Adams will be placed on waivers after turning 14 carries into 36 yards over three preseason games with the Panthers. He's a candidate to join the team's practice squad ahead of the 2025 campaign, though he could look for another opportunity elsewhere.

The Eagles waived Cooks on Monday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Cooks signed a futures deal with the Eagles in February after spending most of the 2024 season on the Jaguars' practice squad. He missed the Eagles' second preseason game against the Browns on Aug. 16 due to a shoulder injury, but he returned for the preseason finale against the Jets on Friday, finishing with two catches (on six targets) for 14 yards. Cooks will likely clear waivers, at which point he'll have the chance to sign with a team in need of a wide receiver; however, he could remain in Philadelphia as a member of the practice squad.

The Eagles released Marshall on Monday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Marshall was limited by a knee injury during training camp, but he managed to play in the final two preseason games and finished with seven catches (on 11 targets) for 66 yards. The 2021 second-rounder had his moments during practices and preseason games, but it wasn't enough for him to crack the Eagles' 53-man roster. Marshall will explore his next options and aim to catch on with a team in need of depth at wide receiver.

Bailey was waived by the Panthers on Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official website reports.

Bailey appeared in all three of the Panthers' preseason games, racking up 58 rushing yards on 14 carries. If he goes unclaimed on waivers, the running back could very well remain with Carolina as a member of the team's practice squad.

Perkins was waived by the Panthers on Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official website reports.

Perkins signed with the Panthers on Aug. 17, completing 10 of 11 passes for 71 yards, while also adding two rushes for 28 yards in Thursday's 19-10 loss to the Steelers. Although he enjoyed plenty of success the last two springs with the UFL's Michigan Panthers, Perkins hasn't appeared in an NFL contest since 2022, and he'll likely have to settle for a practice-squad spot ahead of the 2025 campaign.

The Bengals released Bryan on Monday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Bryan spent the two prior seasons with the Colts, where he served in a rotational role at defensive tackle. He signed with the Bengals before the start of training camp and finished the preseason with seven tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, across three games. Bryan will explore his next opportunities and will look to catch on with a team in need of depth in the interior defensive line.

The Jets released Weaver (undisclosed) with an injury settlement Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Weaver was slated to spend the entire 2025 season on the Jets' injured reserve list after suffering an unspecified injury during training camp, but now he'll become a free agent instead. He'll be able to suit up with any team willing to sign him as soon as he's back in football shape.
