With NFL rosters being trimmed to 53 players this past Saturday, a lot of Terp undrafted free agents did not fair to well.
- The Washington Redskins cut Andrew Crummey and TE Jason Goode, however Crummey was resigned to the practice squad
- The Green Bay Packers released '07 free agent Conrad Bolston and TE Joey Haynos, Haynos was re-signed to the Packer practice squad
- The Dallas Cowboys released running back Keon Lattimore
- The Jags waived corner back Isiah Gardner, but he was also able to land a gig on the practice squad
- Lance Ball was able to make the St. Louis Rams' practice squad after a successful training camp
- 4th Round draft pick, DT Dre Moore was cut by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after showing up overweight to camp and never really grasping the playbook. There was also a rumor that Moore was never really on the good side of coach Gruden.
- In some good news, undrafted rookie linebacker Erin Henderson has appeared to have made the Minnesota Vikings and join his brother and former Terp, E.J. on the team

Terps in the NFL
The Baltimore Sun did an excellent job of running down some of the recent football Terps and their where abouts this training camp. The only Terp to be drafted this year was Dre Moore, who went to Tampa Bay. Here are some of the highlights of the article:
-According to Scout.com, Tampa Bay Buccaneers head coach Jon Gruden thinks defensive tackle Dre Moore -- Maryland's lone draft choice -- has a ways to go before making an impact:It was obvious, though, that Gruden thought fourth-round pick Dre Moore, a defensive tackle out of Maryland, was behind the rest of the class."You know, this is not a game where you want to do too much thinking at that position," Gruden said. "You've got to get off the ball, you've got to be disruptive, and he is getting better. I think he's getting in better shape. The tempo and the speed of this game is probably a little bit foreign to him but he does have talent."
- Minnesota Vikings coach Brad Childress told the Star Tribune of Minneapolis that an injury to backup linebacker Heath Farwell will open the door for Erin Henderson to receive more playing time.Childress said Henderson, the undrafted free agent, will get more reps in practice. Henderson has shown flashes in camp and had a solid debut Friday with five tackles.
- An injury to Green Bay Packers backup tight end Tory Humphrey could pave the way for Joey Haynos to claim the No. 2 spot on the depth chart. The Green Bay Press-Gazette reports that Haynos' speed and blocking have impressed Packers coaches:Haynos is extraordinarily long-levered at 6-8, 268 pounds. He primarily worked as a blocker and possession receiver at Maryland, where he had 67 receptions for 687 yards and three touchdowns over his last two seasons. McAdoo said Haynos is the most fundamentally sound blocker among the rookie tight ends, and in training camp, Haynos has shown an ability to get downfield, too.
