Atlanta waived DiNucci on Saturday, Terrin Waack of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
DiNucci had been a longshot to make the Falcons' initial 53-man roster since Michael Penix, Kirk Cousins and Easton Stick opened camp ahead of him on the QB depth chart. The 2020 seventh-round draft pick hasn't played in an NFL regular-season game since 2020, when he got into three contests with the Cowboys.

The Falcons signed DiNucci on Monday, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
In a corresponding move, Atlanta waived fellow QB Emory Jones (concussion) with an injury designation. DiNucci figures to see action in the final preseason contest but isn't a good bet to make the 53-man roster behind Michael Penix, Kirk Cousins and Easton Stick.

DiNucci was waived by the Saints on Tuesday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
EDGE Analysis
DiNucci signed a reserve/future contract with the Saints in January, but with the team selecting Tyler Shough in the second round of last week's 2025 NFL Draft, DiNucci is the odd man out. The quarterback last appeared in an NFL contest in 2020 with the Cowboys and he'll likely have to settle for a practice squad spot to open the 2025 season.

The Saints signed DiNucci to a reserve/future contract Monday.
EDGE Analysis
DiNucci spent most of the 2024 regular season without a team after being cut by the Bills at the end of training camp in late August, but he managed to catch on with the Saints' practice squad Dec. 10. He hasn't seen regular-season action since 2020 with the Cowboys, but he'll have a chance to earn a spot on New Orleans' roster during training camp next summer.

DiNucci signed to the Saints' practice squad Tuesday, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
EDGE Analysis
The quarterback was waived by the Bills in August after trying to win the third QB job behind Josh Allen and Mitchell Trubisky. DiNucci spent 2023 on Denver's practice squad but did not appear in a regular-season game. New Orleans starter Derek Carr is week-to-week with a hand fracture, but he also has two healthy backups in Jake Haener and Spencer Rattler.

The Bills waived DiNucci on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
DiNucci was unable to win a job behind Josh Allen and Mitch Trubisky in Buffalo. During the preseason, DiNucci completed 14 of 20 passes for 96 yards and one touchdown, adding five carries for 13 yards. He hasn't played in a regular-season NFL game since 2020 with the Cowboys.

The Bills signed DiNucci on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Shane Buechele set to miss extended time due to a neck injury he sustained in Saturday's preseason loss to the Bears, the Bills will bring in DiNucci to serve as the third quarterback behind Josh Allen and Mitch Trubisky. DiNucci was cut by the Broncos in May after Denver traded for Zach Wilson and drafted Bo Nix 12th overall in the 2024 NFL Draft.

The Broncos plan to release DiNucci on Wednesday, Parker Gabriel of the Denver Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
DiNucci, who spent the 2023 season on the Broncos' practice squad, was elevated to the team's gameday roster three times, but didn't log any regular-season snaps. With DiNucci no longer in the mix, the Broncos are left with Bo Nix, Jarrett Stidham and Zach Wilson as their quarterbacks.

The Broncos signed DiNucci to a reserve/future contract for the 2024 season Monday, Nick Kosmider of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
DiNucci did not see the field for Denver in 2023, but he did spend the entire season with its practice squad and will now compete for a spot on its 53-man roster in 2024. The state of the Broncos' quarterback position is in flux since they benched Russell Wilson for the final two games of the year, signaling they may opt to cut him before March.

DiNucci reverted to Denver's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
DiNucci was elevated for Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Patriots, but he ultimately remained inactive as an emergency QB option. He's unlikely to see the field for the Broncos this season unless one of Russell Wilson and/or Jarrett Stidham end up missing time. He hasn't appeared in a game since 2020 with Dallas.
