Bengals WR Bryant could get released

Aug 16, 2010

As the curious case of Antonio Bryant drags on, I continue to hear rumblings that the Cincinnati Bengals are considering releasing the player they signed just five months ago.

The Bengals signed Bryant to a four-year, $28 million contract, but might now be willing to cut ties.

NFL Network insider Jason La Canfora passed on word that, according to his sources, it’s a distinct possibility the Bengals could reach an injury settlement with Bryant, meaning he would never play a down for the team. The Bengals, after giving Bryant nearly $10 million in guarantees, would have to eat a chunk of that money, but their concerns over his effectiveness this season are very real.

The Bears have signed former Broncos TE Jake Butt.

Fantasy Impact:

That makes 6,926 TEs on the Chicago roster. Joking of course, but Jake Butt joins Jimmy Graham, Cole Kmet and a slew of others in the Bears TE room. He's not on the fantasy radar.

Rookie D'Wayne Eskridge misses practice due to toe injury

Top rookie WR D'Wayne Eskridge continues to miss practices with a toe issue. Coach Pete Carroll calls that unfortunate for the important time he is missing in the new #Seahawks offense

Fantasy Impact:

It's not great that D'Wayne Eskridge is missing time while a new offense is being installed in Seattle. He has an opportunity to be the WR3 for the Seahawks, but if he can't go Freddy Swain would be the next man up.

The #Jets and WR Jamison Crowder have finalized a renegotiated contract with plans to keep him on the team for the 2021 season, source said. Crowder will be a free agent next offseason at age 28 to get another payday before age 30.

Fantasy Impact:

The WR room is crowded in New York, with Corey Davis, Keenan Cole and rookie Elijah Moore, along with Crowder. With all those wideouts hungry for targets from a rookie QB, it's tough to know who will emerge as fantasy relevant. Maybe training camp will provide some clarity.
