Philadelphia Eagles sign former Alabama WR Cam Sims

Former Alabama wide receiver Cam Sims signed with the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday morning. Sims joins several other Alabama alumni.

The Philadelphia Eagles have been known to draft and sign former Alabama players over the years. On Thursday morning, the Eagles agreed to terms with former Crimson Tide wide receiver Cam Sims.

Sims spent four seasons at Alabama. He reeled in 41 receptions for 467 yards and two touchdowns.

The Louisiana native went undrafted in the 2018 NFL Draft. He was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Washington Commanders. In five seasons with the organization, Sims hauled in 57 receptions for 804 yards and three touchdowns.

Following the 2022 season, Sims became a free agent. He would sign a one-year contract with the Las Vegas Raiders. Several months after signing the deal, Sims was released. Less than a week later, he signed with the New York Giants practice squad. He spent a little over a month with the organization before being released.

Now, he has the opportunity to prove himself for one of the league’s top teams. He will join former fellow Alabama wide receivers DeVonta Smith and Julio Jones. Sims will also catch passes from former Alabama teammate Jalen Hurts. It is an interesting move at an interest point in Sims’ professional career.

5 free agent WR options for the desperate Chiefs to help Patrick Mahomes

These five WR free agents might be able to help Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs a bit.

The Kansas City Chiefs have a wide receiver problem.

After wideout Marquez Valdes-Scantling dropped a game-winning touchdown against the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday night, it underscored how the best quarterback in the game doesn’t really have the help he deserves from his wide receiver group.

However, there are some legitimate options out in free agency right now if the team wanted to bring in a veteran and see if they could help, at least just a little bit. Right now, any positive momentum for Kansas City would be good.

The available names might not be superstars, but they could all possibly help Mahomes in some way. Let’s see who they are and how they’d factor in.

Giants restore Cole Beasley to practice squad, release two

The New York Giants have restored WR Cole Beasley to their practice squad, added a veteran OT and terminated the contracts of two others.

The New York Giants made a series of roster moves on Tuesday, beginning with wide receiver Cole Beasley being restored to the practice squad.

The Giants signed Beasley prior to the start of training camp and he appeared destined to make the 53-man roster before suffering a quad injury and being waived as a part of final cuts. He was quickly re-signed to the practice squad with an injured reserved designation.

Due to the designation, Beasley was ineligible to play for the first four weeks of the season.

In addition to Beasley, the Giants also signed veteran offensive tackle Yodny Cajuste to their practice squad.

The 27-year-old Cajuste was a third-round pick of the New England Patriots in the 2019 NFL draft. After four seasons playing under Bill Belichick, he signed with the New York Jets this past May but was waived/injured in early August. A week later, he was released with an injury settlement.

Now healthy, the 6-foot-5, 310-pound Cajuste provides the Giants with a much-needed swing tackle.

In order to clear room on their practice squad for Beasley and Cajuste, the Giants terminated the contracts of cornerback Amani Oruwariye and wide receiver Cam Sims.
