Saints | Two waived Monday
New Orleans Saints QB Griffin Neal and WR Shane Wynn were placed on no-recall waivers Monday, May 16.
Footballguys View: The uber-football nerd in us was excited about the German Football League prospect, QB Griffin Neal. He didn’t last long as a camp arm for the Saints. Looks like Garrett Grayson is safe as the team’s QB3 behind Drew Brees and Luke McCown.

Cincinnati Bengals QB Matt Johnson was waived Monday, May 16.

Seahawks | Make two roster moves
Seattle Seahawks LB Christian French (undisclosed) was waived/injured Monday, May 16. Free-agent LB Khairi Fortt (Jaguars) was subsequently signed.
Seahawks | Doug Baldwin focused on hands
Seattle Seahawks WR Doug Baldwin wants to focus on his catch rate for next season, ideally hauling in any catchable target. Baldwin only dropped two passes in 2015 while catching 78 balls, 14 of which were touchdowns.
Seahawks | More running for Seattle?
Seattle Seahawks RBs Thomas Rawls, Christine Michael and C.J. Prosise could be called on early and often in 2016, according to WR Doug Baldwin. Baldwin said the Seahawks are going to go back to the run game and not pass as much this season.
Footballguys View: The Seahawks certainly emphasized the RB position in the draft by taking three players at the position. Prosise was the first of the three backs they selected, and he’s a good all-purpose back who is still learning the position after starting his college career at Notre Dame as a WR. Alex Collins (Arkansas) was the team’s choice in the fifth round, and we like his one-cut style, power and ability to get to the second level of the defense. Seventh-round pick Zac Brooks has good measurables but may need some development on the practice squad. Fantasy owners need to note the glut of RBs in Seattle and how that could negatively impact the production of Rawls at the top of the depth chart.
Bills | Sammy Watkins should miss preseason
Updating a previous report, Buffalo Bills WR Sammy Watkins (foot) is not expected to play in the preseason after undergoing foot surgery three weeks ago.
Footballguys View: So long as he’s ready for Week 1. We’ll know more about Watkins’ recovery later this offseason. All signs currently point to him being ready when the games start to count. Stay tuned.
Bills | Shaq Lawson out 5-6 months
Updating a previous report, Buffalo Bills DE Shaq Lawson (shoulder) is expected to be out five to six months.
Footballguys View: This is different from earlier reports that suggested Lawson would be ready for the start of the regular season. We’re in mid-May, so five months would be sometime in October. Chances are good that the team’s 2016 first-round pick begins the regular season on the PUP list. That would force Lawson to miss the first six weeks of the year. After that, the Bills would have three weeks to decide whether or not to activate him or put him on season-ending Injured Reserve.
