Welcome to another year of me trying to find every Hokie on a professional football contract. I will try to find every roster move in NFL as best I can. As always if you see a roster move please add a comment with it. I will not be doing any CFL or arena league anymore. It's really frustrating and time consuming feel free to add them in the comments for others if you wish.

Steelers needs to trade for Tremaine so they can recreate this:
We just have to hope they don't cut Trey honestly. This is going to be the smallest NFL active roster list in the 4 or 5 years I've done this on TKP.
What is the average for the past 4-5 years? Only looking for an estimate.
If we count practice squads about 14-16. Active roster only 10-14. But there is a lot of fluctuations each year. Injuries, IR, cuts etc.
Thanks!
Joey Slye just signed with the Giants today.
C'mon Logan, he's got like a whole football team to feed, somebody gotta sign the man!
Logan Thomas signed with the Detroit Lions sometime in March.
Thanks
So Kyle Chung is back home in Jacksonville for Rookie Mini camp tryout.
Vinny Mihota is trying out for the Redskins Link
Reavis is currently 1st on the depth chart at SS for the Jags. Doubt that lasts till preseason, but he's in line for playing time.
Reavis popped on the screen from day one. Was a huge loss. Sure would love to see a guy on d do that this year. (Pop that is, not get kicked off)
He has been doing a lot of work this offseason (pretty much all of his insta posts were working out and training), so I'm definitely rooting for him to succeed. Wish him the best of luck.
shocked to see cj cut after a very good off season and preseason where I thought he would push for the starting job even though they brought someone in during the off season.
steven Peoples and Vinny Mihota both earned invites to the Arizona Cardinals' minicamp. Braxton Pfaff received invites from both the Cincinnati Bengals and the Kansas City Chiefs
I'm going to wait until mini camps and tryouts are over unless someone signs a deal before I add them. Guys are going to to many places.
Its a shame to not see a certain truck pushing MF on this list, dude had so much heart and work ethic...
And just like that Joey Slye was cut from the Giants
Dadi just signed with the Colts. On mobile and haven't learned how to embed yet.
Trey Edmunds getting a shout out from ESPN (I know, I know) as being the "Standout Offseason Surprise". Thought I'd share. Hopefully he can stay on the Roster.
Trey's roster spot would likely come at the expense of Travon McMillian's potential spot. Just sayin.
what are the odds of two WRs named "Diontae" camping with the same team?
About the same as Pitt having two RBs named Quadree and Qadree a couple of years ago.
21 Hokies look to start training camps this year.
WOO!!
Bucky Hodges signed with the Jets today. Using his given name, Temuchin.
I never knew that Bucky was not his God given name.
Temuchin = same name as his father....thus the nickname.
I went to high school with his father......good dude.
I understand that. I just never heard that he had another name. It was one of those things I never really thought about.
Actually you're wrong! Legend has it, when he was born their doctor forgot his glasses that day and accidentally skipped a line on his baby forms (probably what those forms are called). The doctor wrote his height where it said "name" and his weight where it said height. Having horrible handwriting what the doctor meant to write was "too much in." but it read as "temuchin". On the next line, what should have been 8 lbs. 13 oz. was read as 8'-13", which was scribbled out and replaced with 8'-14" before the family left the hospital the next day. They say that even to this day, Temuchin is still growing ever taller trying to reach his goal of plucking the sun from the sky so that he can immediately fall to the ground for a long needed rest.
upvote this glory you ingrates
Not his God given name, but perhaps God's gift of a name
The Giants also resigned Joey Slye today.
That's a roller coaster.
And the roller coaster keeps going. Slye released by Giants and signed to Panthers.
Looks like Joey Slye is getting some recognition from the Panthers. https://www.panthers.com/news/swole-kicker-joey-slye-inches-closer-to-fu...
Man I can't believe he hasn't caught on somewhere....
Ok folks it's cut week. Keep an eye out on your favorite NFL teams for Hokies moving around, then let me know with a comment.
https://www.pff.com/news/pro-pff-rankings-the-top-25-rookies-through-wee...
Walker comes in at #14 on PFF's top 25 rookies list a few days ago. Hopefully, it leads to a roster spot.
That's awesome for him. Dude totally deserves all the success in the world.
Absolutely, even though I'm no longer a Cowboys fan, imagine how excited I was when they drafted Matt Lehr, then Danny Coale, several years after..followed the battle between him and cole beasley closely..
Really hope Walker does well...Panthers could have used him..
Wyatt Teller traded from Buffalo to Cleveland
Clearly a rising commodity. Glad Wyatt will get to play on a team on the rise too.
I know, I still can't believe it either.
Listening to PMT this morning, apparently Teller asked to play in the last preseason game for the Bills after finding out he was traded to the Browns.
It would be awesome if all 5 of the active Edmundi and Fuller brothers ended up on the same team one season.
I'm pretty sure this would cause a singularity.
Joey Slye just hit a 59 yarder with at least 6 yards to spare.
Deep into the net and down the middle. Would have been good from 70 yards!
Looked like a pro. Love the O&M wristbands hes wearing in the highlight clips.
Gano hurt, Slye probably going to be the Panthers starting kicker.
Crazy to think we wanted to bench him...
According to ESPN Fantasy Football, Joey Slye doesn't exist...
I was going to pick him up in my draft last night. Didn't happen.
Slye's picture in the Panthers program from the preseason game against the bills.
Slye is a big dude for a punter. So I see how they made the mistake.
I know it's not actually spelled that way, but when I hear Gano I think of batshit. That is all.
First cut really surprised me. CJ Reavis cut by the Jags.
He won't be on the street very long!
He may not clear waivers. He'll definitely get picked up for the Jags' practice squad if he does though.
get it done panthers!!!
Sean Davis might not get picked back up by Steelers after this season, I would love to see Reavis unite with Terrell Edmunds as a safety pair
Gano to IR for the SEASON. Slye is a Panther for at least a year.
Good for him! Always had the leg, great to see him get a shot in the big leagues! Hopefully he can keep it up throughout the season!
Eli Harold and Quinn Blanding both former 5 star LOLUVA recruits cut today. How much damage did that school do to these high ranked recruits during London's time there.
They served their purpose. They kept the streak going.
Adonis Alexander cut by Washington
Trey Edmunds cut by Steelers, they also cut McMillion.
Brutal cut down day: Ford, Phillips, Reavis, Walker, Exum all out. A few guys I expect to be on practice squad announcements this week.
I'm a little surprised about Phillips. From what I've seen and read, he seemed he had made progress for the Bills and they liked where he was at. Plus its not like that squad as a top notch group at WR anyway.
I'm worried this might be the end for Ford though. Miami, while they won't publicly admit it, are definitely tanking. If he can't make THAT roster (and this is after missing out and being on the practice squad for the last 2 years as well) then it probably isn't gonna happen for him at the NFL level.
hes been so banged up the last 2 years hes never really had a shot in mia. :(
Adonis Alexander signed to Redskins Practice Squad
Yosh Nijman cut by Packers
Practice squad I'll add later this week once everything settles down in both the NFL and here in FL. Just notified kids are out of school till at least Thursday.
I saw that Yosh got signed to the Packers practice squad as well.
I'm glad to hear this, albeit a bit surprised.
The beat writers seemed to suggest that team was *really* down on AA.
Lions fans seem surprised by this - maybe going to bring him back after some other roster moves?
Per MMQB, both Logan Thomas and Antone Exum have been resigned by the Lions and 49ers, respectively.
Exum back with 49ers, I'll never understand this cut on Saturday resign on Sunday NFL stuff.
It's cap related stuff that only the experts get anyway (and I bet some of the people the teams employ don't get it all). Just roster manipulation (legally) save a buck here, keeps rights on a guy there, etc. I'm pretty decent with the NBA stuff but I gave up trying to understand the NFL rules and guidelines
There is some IR related stuff as well causing some of the roster maipulations. If a player is put on the 53 man roster for >24hr then put on IR then they can return later in the season. If they are put on IR before the cut to 53 they have to sit out the entire season.
So, some guys get cut so teams can put other players on non-season ending IR. After 24hr, the players can go on IR and previously cut players get picked back up to fill out the 53-man roster.
Practice squad is less complicared. Players have to be cut so they can go on the waiver wire. If they clear waivers they can then be brought back to the practice squad. This gives a player the opportunity to make a roster elsewhere (more $) instead of being stashed on a practice squad. Practice squad is 10 players and a player can be picked up from a practice squad by any team, but that team has to keep that player on their 53-man roster for 3 weeks and pay him roster money.
Other times players get cut to make room for other free agents, but deals fall through or the target player picks a different team. Then a cut player gets picked back up after clearing waivers.
Teams have to keep dancing around that 53-man limit and when everyone cuts at the same time, a lot of silliness happens to avoid being caught with too few or too many players.
Fans of both fanbases were pretty upset with Reavis and Isaiah Ford being cut. Hopefully good news will be coming out soon on each.
How about Facyson, Ken Fuller & anyone else???
Just read an article that they expect Facyson to make the roster.
Read a Chiefs article about how they are in a weird cap situation that might make it difficult to lock up Kendall longterm. However, it seems like fans/writers are very upset about the prospect of letting him walk after this year and want to give him a deal (that he deserves).
The chart above gives all those answers.
Yeah I know. Thanks. I was just curious if there were any additional details not covered on the chart.
I think some cut and paste got after ya on the chart. You have an O instead of a C for Active, unless my eyes are getting messed up...
Its you.
I can't see your image, but figured I would post what I'm seeing for reference.
Edit: Even when I get really close to the screen, the "c" still looks like an "o"
It gets fuzzy on a screen capture and looks more like a "o" but on my screen and text size settings it is a definitely a "c".
I guess I need to bump up text size settings, cause it's definitely off on mine.
Who is the best Hokie in the NFL now? Personally, I would argue Duane and his NSFW arms over the Fuller's. Kyle just got good recently.
Bruce Arians "no risk it, no biscuit"
Tim Settle, redskins punt returner
Tremaine Edmunds
Kyle did not just get good recently. There is a reason he got his last contract in March 201
78 for $56 million.and there's a reason he was a first round pick before that
Per this article, there are several who have made it back onto practice squads.
Alexander (Washington), Nijman (Green Bay, Trey Edmunds (Pittsburgh), and Ford (Miami).
Might not be up to date. Things change daily it seems.
Pretty cool graphic
God but it's so empty.
Only more than Wake, Syracuse, GT, Duke and one higher than UVA as far as the ACC goes. Even with BC. Everyone else in the conference has us beat on representation. Squarely middle of the ACC pack behind Pitt, NC State, UNC, Louisville, and all the unsurprising ones.
EDIT: Actually that statement was using ESPN's latest data which shows 3 more than are in this picture. Not sure of where the discrepancies are or how accurate the other schools may be. But best guess is we're still in the same ballpark - 8th or 9th in the ACC.
Still showing Teller as a Bill.
He hasn't appeared in a game for the Browns yet. Doubtful there's a picture of him in a Browns uniform and pads yet unless there has been media access to practice the past week and a half.
that's what's photoshop's for. And while the below is a joke, we have guys do it for recruits all the time...
Greg Stroman was waived with an injury designation by the Skins.
It's becoming harder and harder to be a skins fan.....why would you not put him on IR??
They might if no one else claims him.
why wouldn't you just put him directly on IR? Is there a rule or something that says you have to waive them before putting them on IR?
I would assume it has something to do with money.
Any idea on outlook for stroman?
With Rodgers-Cromartie going on IR, I wonder if the Skins will call up Adonis.
They just signed a corner off of a different team's practice squad before Adonis after Stroman got hurt. I wouldn't get my hopes up.
Just spent two hours on every NFL team roster and googling every name on the list. This is as best I can figure the current NFL picture looks like.
Thirteen guys on active rosters.
Four on practice squads
One on IR.
At the halfway point in the season I'm going to start deleting names from the graph, people like Sam Rogers who it looks like their NFL career is done.
PLEASE IF YOU FIND A MISTAKE LET ME KNOW.
So the Bills Trade starter Wyatt Teller to the Browns and he doesn't start for the Browns??
The Browns brought in a few guards in the offseason which ended up putting Wyatt on their roster bubble. There was talk that he was going to get released. Now he's Second string with a chance to take over for Kush instead of being a 2nd or 3rd option.
The Browns OL is bad, but the majority of the bad is OT. As a Browns fan I would be mad if they traded draft picks for a player and then released them a month later. I will be double mad if it is Wyatt.
Not For Long ain't a joke.
Slye has looked really good, I always thought if he could improve his accuracy he could be a great kicker. Now that it appears he has, I have hopes that he will be the Panthers kicker for years to come.
I think VT should find out who fixed Slye and see if he is interested in working with our kickers.
His specialty has been 50+ yd kicks, which in college he was an automatic miss from that distance.
I am still amazed that Logan Thomas has been continuously making active rosters each year. He is making a good career as a journeyman.
Solid special teams play will get you a 3rd string tight end or linebacker job for 10 years.
He's also good for a trick play pass once every year or so.
I watched the Lions game yesterday. Thomas is in quite a bit. He had a very good catch to convert a 3rd down and a solid block on one of the Lion's TDs in the first half (I think.)
Loved Isaiah at VT, and hope he gets a shot with a better organization.
Never seen an NFL team tank like the Dolphins.
So every day going through NFL transactions it's crazy the names that pop up on practice squads, being waived etc that were super stars in college.
Jesus this is a bad year.
TBH, if AA is getting released from the Skins, with as bad as our defense is...its a really bad sign for his future prospects.
There's always Canada eh?
https://www.panthers.com/news/joey-slye-named-nfc-special-teams-player-o...
Joey Slye making a name for himself.
A few weeks ago the local news played some takes from Panther players saying when they saw Joey Slye show up, they seriously thought he was trying out for linebacker.
Exum cut.
Woody Baron is the only Hokie active on a CFL roster. He's listed on the two-deep as a backup DT for Montréal. He's not putting up big numbers, but averaging about a tackle a game and getting regular playing time.
I see no lies here
Not a good day for joey, 0-2 on fg and missed an xp
Settle just sacked Brady, must be an awesome feeling for that dude.
And he's still doing the penguin celebration!
I'm over here butt-clenching for the second day in a row as the Panthers try to defend 3 shots to the endzone while up 7.
Kyle Chung's name is in the first group of the XFL's draft pool.
Roberto Aguayololololol #FORTURNTLE
Cam Phillips and Colton Taylor. Being in DC really hoping the Defenders draft Cam
https://twitter.com/XFLDefenders/status/1182400939098927104?s=20
Cam and Colton are on the Houston Roughnecks roster.
Looking forward to seeing this Vince McMahon reincarnation.
Saw on the twittersphere that Trey is back on the active squad for the Steelers.
Yep just waiting on official NFL list.
Just got a carry on MNF tonight. About 2:00 left in the game, Steelers last possession. 3-1, no love from the o-line and loss of 2. Trey was mentioned when talking about the Steelers lack of RB depth.
Also, as a verteran of a dislocated shoulder I ran off the field just like James Conner. Calling it now before the official reports come out.
McMillian was in group 5 of XFL. Still mostly a hokie!
As stated above by confirmed by schefty:
Confirmed: Trey Edmunds to show up in a multitude of Week 9 Waiver Wire Pickups articles.
I'm betting (0% owned).
I would pick him up but I really don't need a running back. I have Cook, Kamara, Murray, Ingram, and Kareem Hunt. Might drop Murray for edmunds for this week with the saints bye week.
why on earth would you do that with kamara being limited or out for the last few weeks?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
It's a maybe and a most likely not gonna happen because Murray as a second string I still think is better than Edmunds as a first string. Steelers will definitely try to get another RB to rotate with edmunds as well.
Damn you must not be in the TKP 12-team league
his starting wide receivers gotta be quincy enunwa and dante pettis
Lol I did draft Pettis. But now its Metcalf and Alshon. Been waiting for AJ Green to get healthy.
In a 12 team league with college friends. Definitely lacking in the receiving department and got lucky with Ingram.
CJ Reavis to the Falcons practice squad.
Have started removing guys who aren't likely to get anymore shots in the league.
This is not a typo: Trey Edmunds just got an INT in the Rams-Steelers game today (on a fake punt play by LA). Terrell and Trey now have the same number of career INTs (1).
Tremaine also sacked Baker for a safety. Edmunds brothers killing it.
But they still lost to the trash Browns. A team with 8 tries at the 2 couldn't score a single point.
He would have a lot more if he had just PLAYED LINEBACKER LIKE HE SHOULD HAVE
You'd think if he were going to be a linebacker an NFL team would try him out there
Happy to see Wyatt is as loved in the NFL as he seemed to be at VT.
But how is his mullet game now since we all know that is the true source if his power?🤔
I imagine at the end of this play, Terrell is saying something like "Last week my runningback brother got an interception, and this week you're running with the ball??!"
That is awesome. Once a Hokie, always a Hokie!
Logan Thomas with a TD snag!
Can confirm, saw it live! Also, dude still dwarfs the players around him. He looks great out there today.
He had a big 3rd down catch in the red zone to set up a FG too. I love watching Hokies making big plays at the next level. Doubly so when it hurts an in conference rival.
Feel bad for Joey Slye. He's having a bad day.
Geez... he literally cost them the game. If he makes the two PATs and the FG, the Saints have to drive for a TD. They weren't going to get in the end zone with no TOs.
Panthers need to hire a psychiatrist for Slye. He looks like a total head case.
I love Slye to death and wish him the best, but he wasn't super reliable at VT. I was never very confident when he lined up to cook, and had zero expectation of him hitting beyond 40 despite every pregame hearing about him hitting 70 yarders into the wind.
He hit a 52 yarder today.
He's hit longer field goals more consistently in the NFL so far than he ever did in college, which was pretty much never.
Agreed, automatic make inside 45, auto miss outside 45
Nijman promoted to the active roster for Green Bay SI Article
Pretty damning comments in that article though: "The guy hasn't the slightest clue of how to play his position, especially as a run blocker," a scout said before the draft when asked why Nijman wasn't more highly regarded."
Ford is balling out today 6 for 95 so far...great to see
Not for me. I've got Devante Parker as my flex in a tight week 2 of my fantasy semi-finals.
He's gonna get himself cut for not tanking
Happy to see he finally got a chance to show what's he's got. He was getting to the point of where the NFL will just pass over him. Getting live game action and putting up that production will at least get some heads turning back his way
SMH
West Virginia? Do some damn research!
Fixed!
That shows how dumb and overrated the combine measures are. Listen to what John Riggins thinks of the NFL combine now-a-days. It's about playing football on the field, with pads and a helmet.
Brandon Facyson led the Charger's defense with 9 tackles today.
Chuck Clark played well against the 49ers. I don't see anyone stopping the Ravens flock right now 😈
Chuck Clark and Tremaine Edmunds were both balling out today.
Watching the Ravens today, and plenty of VT love. It also seems like they were calling out Chuck Clark almost every play. The dude was everywhere.
https://www.nbcsports.com/bayarea/49ers/49ers-re-sign-defensive-back-ant...
Exam back on 49ers.
Amazing fact. It's actually kind of surprising that the Fuller's never achieved this.
That would have been nice but I didn't think Corey stuck around long enough for this to happen.
I liked Tomlin's response haha
Anyone see the video of John Harbaugh talking about Chuck Clark's football IQ and how he's "like the quarterback" of the defense. I'd embed the video but it was on twitter and I'm at work.
DBU!!!
Got you fam
Chuck Clark with the
I
N
T
Ravens Flock!!!
Was really hoping that they were gonna drop a VT reference in there when they were talking about it. I love seeing former Hokies doing well at the next level.
Lol I was yelling at my TV: "Tell us where he's from!"
Ive been reading some comments on Social Media that want to keep Chuck in the starting lineup when Tony Jefferson comes back from injury. They love him up there..
Chuck will be the reason Tony Jefferson never sees the field for the Ravens again. Chuck's been great against both the run and the pass, and apparently communicates the defensive calls much better than Jefferson did. Ravens defense improved significantly once Chuck was inserted into the starting lineup. Plus, he's a heck of a lot cheaper than Jefferson is. I believe Earl Thomas called Chuck the "smartest player on the field", which is a pretty big compliment coming from a guy who is a potential Hall of Famer.
Big day for Ford helping Miami deny Pats a playoff bye. 7 reception and another 11-yard carry.
Was looking around for video of the trick play with Ford. Love hearing about his success these last 3 weeks.
Here's the video, help me with an embedded, FAM?
I got you, fam. Ford makes better passing decisions than Ryan Willis. Fuente would be proud.
conversation with a Pats fan yesterday:
"Did you ever hear of a guy named Isaiah Ford? I think he played for Tech."
"Oh yeah, he was our first and second ever 1,000 WR. I think he's languishing on the practice squad for the dolphins or something. Shame he's never really made an impact in the NFL."
"No. He just tore us a new one and cost us our playoff bye..."
bwahahahahaha suck it pats.
Trying to embed image of Kyle fuller at the pro bowl in his bucket hat.
I hadn't noticed Kyle and Tremaine both got promoted from being Pro Bowl alternates. Congratulations to them! Love having multiple Hokies at the Pro Bowl, not to mention a Fuller in the Pro Bowl AND the Super Bowl.
Wish San Francisco had not cut Exum at beginning of December then we would have two Hokies in the Super Bowl.
Wonder if he would get a ring if SF wins? He did help them get there.
Good video of Tremaine micd up at Pro Bowl practice
Joey Slye signs a 1 year contract extension with the Panthers through the 2020 season
Awesomeness, dude earned it
My first Ravens jersey purchased since Tyrod is on the way... so happy he was able to step in and win the job. Lead by example type of guy that I love having on the back end.
