Vikings signed DE Nick Reed. A seventh-round pick by Seattle in 2009, Reed is small pass rusher with a relentless motor. The former Oregon Duck has 23 tackles in 16 career games with the Seahawks, Bears, and Bucs.

Buccaneers waived DE Nick Reed. The Bucs had no use for Reed, not even to compete for a roster spot. He was due a $540K salary. Tampa Bay will move forward with George Johnson and Da'Quan Bowers behind Adrian Clayborn and Michael Bennett at defensive end.

Bucs signed DE Nick Reed. The Bucs are desperate for help along the defensive line as they continue to get gashed in the trenches. Reed, a 2009 seventh-round pick of the Seahawks, has 23 tackles and one sack in 23 career games.

Bears waived DE Nick Reed. Reed appeared in seven games as a rotational lineman, notching six tackles. He's been let go in favor of long-time Falcon Chauncey Davis.
