Here’s the latest run down on all the moves made around the league today… we’ll have more in depth analysis on each of these later on this evening.

  • Long time Jaguars RB Fred Taylor was cut loose earlier today, leaving behind an 11 year career with the team. Look for fellow RB Maurice Jones-Drew to take on more of the load next season, along with a hefty extension in his contract to boot.
  • Three-time Pro Bowl CB Chris McAllister was released by the Ravens, who will save almost $8 million next season with the move.
  • Cincinnati has decided to use their franchise tag on K Shane Graham instead of WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh, a move that is certain to cause much discussion in Bengal Nation throughout the off-season.
