The Dolphins signed running back Kenneth Farrow.

Farrow was most recently with the San Antonio Commanders of the AAF, but new Dolphins head coach Brian Flores and offensive coordinator Chris O’Shea know him after he spent time with the Patriots last year. The 26-year-old had a 142-yard performance (on 30 carries) and won AAF Offensive Player of the Week during his time in the now-defunct league. He has a shot to carve out a roster spot and a role with a new coaching staff in Miami looking to have guys earn their spots.

The Eagles signed wide receiver Charles Johnson.

Johnson is signing in Philadelphia along with fellow former AAF receiver Greg Ward and former AAF quarterback Luis Perez. Johnson played for the Orlando Apollos in the AAF, and he was one of the most productive players in the entire league, catching 45 passes for 687 yards and five touchdowns. Johnson previously spent 2013 with the Browns and appeared in 39 games for the Vikings from 2014-2016, and the 30-year-old will have a chance to win a roster spot leading up to this season. He’s not yet a fantasy option outside of very deep dynasty leagues, though.

Greg Ward has signed with the Eagles.

Ward was just in the AAF, but the former Houston quarterback previously spent training camp with the Eagles. He will hope to show enough this summer to make the 53-man roster behind Alshon Jeffery, Nelson Agholor, and DeSean Jackson.

The Eagles are signing Luis Perez to a one-year deal, according to Adam Caplan.

Perez played for the Birmingham Iron of the AAF and is the latest player from the now-defunct league to sign with an NFL team. Perez was undrafted last year and spent last summer with the Rams, and now he’s getting another opportunity in the NFL with the Eagles. He’ll look to battle Nate Sudfeld for the No. 2 role in Philadelphia with Nick Foles now gone, but competing for a roster spot as a third quarterback is probably more likely.

The Raiders are signing Demornay Pierson-El, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

An AAF standout of the Salt Lake City Stallions, Pierson-El has previously spent some time with the Redskins and in the CFL. Pierson-El caught 36 passes for 414 yards and a touchdown with Salt Lake City, and he also produced as a punt returner in college. At just 23, he could have a real shot at cracking the roster for Jon Gruden’s squad, but for fantasy purposes he’s just a name to keep an eye on for now.

The Titans signed tight end Keith Towbridge.

Towbridge was undrafted in 2017 and spent that year on injured reserve with the Bills, and then he was on Buffalo’s practice squad last season before playing for the Atlanta Legends in the AAF. Towbridge caught 17 passes for 196 in seven AAF games before the league folded. The 23-year-old isn’t on the fantasy radar yet, but he’ll look to become a contributor for the Titans in 2019.

The Titans signed quarterback Logan Woodside.

Woodside spent some of 2018 with the Titans before playing with the San Antonio Commanders of the AAF. The 2018 seventh-round pick was one of the better quarterbacks in the AAF, and now he’ll look to carve out a spot on the depth chart in Tennessee as the third quarterback behind Marcus Mariota and Ryan Tannehill.
