Dolphins General Manager Jeff Ireland got reacquainted with Dallas wide receiver Dez Bryant on Thursday night, and this time their conversation appeared to be much more cordial than last time.

Tight ends Rob Myers and Carson Butler have been informed that they will be waived by the Patriots as the team trims its roster to the 53-man limit by Saturday's deadline. Both were longshots to earn a roster spot as the Patriots have solidified the tight end position with veteran Alge Crumpler and rookies Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. Myers spent time on the Patriots' practice squad last season and could potentially return again if he clears waivers.

EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- One of the disappointing aspects of the Patriots' preseason finale was the return of the turnover. Through three preseason games, Patriots quarterbacks had not thrown an intereption, but both Tom Brady and Brian Hoyer were picked off by the Giants. Brady's came on a first-quarter long bomb to Randy Moss that had little chance of success from the time the football was released from Brady's hand. Hoyer's came on a botched screen pass that, in retrospect, he probably should have just drilled into the ground.  A look at the Patriots' quarterback breakdown this preseason...

Cut-down day is officially tomorrow, and teams must all get down to a 53-man roster by 4 p.m. But the Patriots have started early. The team has cut veteran DL Damione Lewis, I’ve confirmed. This was first reported by a bunch of national guys at exactly the same time. Lewis signed as a bit of a project, [...]

Brandon Meriweather is the Pro Bowler whose starting job is locked in. Patrick Chung is the second-year budding star who has taken all the first-team reps alongside Meriweather this camp. Brandon McGowan has been the player who comes onto the field in nickel or dime packages. Where does that leave James Sanders? It’s a good question [...]

Tight end Rob Myers also been released by the Patriots. Myers had a solid training camp, but became a victim of the numbers game. He was on the Patriots' practice squad last year. There is also a report from ESPNBoston.com... New England Patriots - Training camp - Scout team - Rob Myers - NFL

The anticipated bloodshed started early Friday morning in Florham Park, N.J., where the New York Jets started paring their roster from 75 to 53. They have until 6 p.m. Saturday to complete the task. Not one of the early cuts was a surprise. To me, the most interesting bubble players are WR David Clowney, RB Danny Woodhead and RB Chauncey Washington. Actually, Woodhead probably moved off the bubble after receiving Rex Ryan's blessing Thursday night. Clowney, I'm told, is a near lock to make the team. Washington, who did some nice things in the preseason, appears to have survived the day. Satur...

One last look back at the preseason that was: THREE PLAYERS WHO HELPED THEMSELVES • FB John Conner. The rookie didn't have a great game in Philadelphia (one lost fumble, one drop), but he impressed so much in the preseason that the coaches actually started to discuss the possibility of releasing incumbent Tony Richardson. Because of his special-teams ability, he will be dress for the season opener. • DE/OLB Vernon Gholston. It took only three training camps, but the former No. 1 pick finally started to show some promise. He went from a marginal player to an important backup. &bul...

Kick returner Larry Wilson and linebacker Brashton Satele -- featured on "Hard Knocks" -- are expected to be waived by the Jets, NJ.com reports. Wilson, a former star in the CFL, was a favorite of special teams coach Mike Westhoff in scenes shown on the HBO program. Satele was...

Let's see if Rex Ryan gets invited to the FOX NFL pregame show. Host Terry Bradshaw became the latest in a growing line to rip Rex Ryan for his bragging nature, saying once the regular season starts the Jets head coach will "shut up real quick." "He doesn't...
