Another free agent offensive lineman visited the Seahawks this week

According to a report by Adam Schefter at ESPN, former Colts and Bills guard Ike Boettger visited the team on Monday.

The Seahawks have been very busy the last couple of weeks bringing in free agent offensive linemen for visits. Yesterday the team added former Rams and Lions tackle Max Pircher. Meanwhile, veterans Greg Van Roten, Lucas Patrick, Laken Tomlinson and Cody Whitehair have all been connected with Seattle. Now we have another potential signing to pass along.

According to a report by Adam Schefter at ESPN, former Colts and Bills guard Ike Boettger visited the team on Monday.

Boettger (6-foot-6, 313 pounds) played his college ball at Iowa and then went undrafted. Buffalo originally signed him in 2018 and he played tackle as a backup his first couple seasons there. Boettger switched to left guard in 2020, earning 17 starts over the next two years. All together he played five seasons for the Bills then spent last year with the Colts.

If Seattle does sign him, Boettger would likely project as a left guard, where at the moment he wouldn’t have any competition to start.

Colts promote C Jack Anderson to active roster

Jack Anderson was promoted from the practice squad.

The Indianapolis Colts signed guard Jack Anderson to the active roster from the practice squad and released guard Ike Boettger, the team announced Tuesday.

Anderson was signed to the practice squad on Sept. 12 but spent the majority of the first half of the season on the injured list due to calf injury he suffered during the preseason with the New York Giants. He returned to the practice squad in October when he became healthy.

Anderson can play both guard positions while providing some depth at center, and he takes the place of Boettger, who spent roughly three weeks on the active roster. He spent time on the practice squad before that so there’s a chance he is signed again.

Colts sign WR KJ Hamler to practice squad, elevate two for Week 4

The Colts made some practice squad moves, including the signing of WR KJ Hamler.

The Indianapolis Colts made some roster moves Saturday ahead of the Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, including the addition of a former second-round wide receiver to the practice squad.

The Colts also elevated two players from the practice squad to the active roster for the Week 4 matchup and released a cornerback from the practice squad to make room for the new addition at wide receiver.

Here are the roster moves the Colts made Saturday ahead of the Week 4 matchup:

Colts elevate WR Juwann Winfree, G Ike Boettger to active roster

The Colts elevated WR Juwann Winfree and G Ike Boettger to the active roster for Week 3.

The Indianapolis Colts elevated wide receiver Juwann Winfree and guard Ike Boettger from the practice squad to the active roster, the team announced Saturday.

Though it seemed earlier that the Colts were elevating running back Trey Sermon, the team announced that he was signed to the active roster instead of elevated. In doing so, fellow running back Deon Jackson was waived.

This is Winfree’s third and final elevation of the season. If the Colts want him available on gamedays, he will need to be signed to the active roster. He will serve as the No. 5 wide receiver for the Week 3 game against the Baltimore Ravens.

Boettger was signed to the practice squad following the Week 1 opener. With center Ryan Kelly (concussion) ruled out and guard Quenton Nelson (toe) listed as questionable, Boettger will provide some additional interior depth. This is Boettger’s first elevation from the practice squad.

Colts place RB Evan Hull on injured reserve

Colts RB Evan Hull has been placed on the injured reserve list.

The Indianapolis Colts placed running back Evan Hull on the Reserve/Injured list and signed running back Jake Funk from the practice squad, the team announced Tuesday.

Also, free-agent guard Ike Boettger was signed to the practice squad.

Hull was expected to miss time due to a knee injury he suffered during the Week 1 opener against the Jacksonville Jaguars. While he avoided a major injury, it’s serious enough to keep him off the field for at least the next four games.

This means Hull will be eligible to return ahead of the Week 6 game against the Jaguars in Duval.

Funk was elevated from the practice squad for the opener and then reverted back to the practice squad after the game. However, he now counts against the 53-man roster after being signed Tuesday.

Colts hosted G Ike Boettger for free-agent visit

The Colts hosted Ike Boettger for a free-agent visit.

The Indianapolis Colts hosted free-agent guard Ike Boettger for a visit Tuesday, according to the league’s transaction wire.

An undrafted free agent in 2018 out of Iowa, Boettger spent the last five seasons with the Buffalo Bills. The 28-year-old has appeared in 34 games while making 17 starts in his career.

Boettger appeared in only one game during the 2022 season, but he appeared in 15 games (10 starts) during the 2021 season, playing mostly left guard.

The Colts have some major needs to add depth to the offensive line so this will be something to monitor to see if it turns into a roster move.

7 players Giants should consider adding following cutdown day

Cutdown day has come and gone across the NFL and the New York Giants should considering claiming or signing these seven available players.

More than 1,100 players were released, cut or waived on Tuesday as teams trimmed their roster to the required 53 men. Now the race is on to claim or sign those who are available, effectively rounding out rosters ahead of the regular season.

The New York Giants put in seven waiver claims a year ago and were awarded multiple players. General manager Joe Schoen certainly isn’t going to sit on his hands this time around, so expect Big Blue to be active.

Schoen and head coach Brian Daboll will be on the hunt for anyone they believe will help improve their roster.

With that in mind, here’s a look at seven players the Giants should consider claiming or signing on Wednesday.
