Rattlers try to deal S Rayshaun Kizer as they reduce roster

The Rattlers were unable to make a trade Saturday involving safety Rayshaun Kizer and placed one of the Arena Football League's all-time leaders in interceptions on recallable waivers.

If a team tries to claim Kizer, the Rattlers can pull him back and offer a trade or just keep him on the roster.

Coach and General Manager Kevin Guy had a trade done, but he said that team later in the day reneged on it.

"I'm not running a charity here," Guy said. "We expect something in return that is worth what we are offering."

Guy felt Kizer, who has 57 career interceptions, had a strong camp.

It was just that Jeremy Kellem had an even better camp and won the safety job.

Veteran Marquis Floyd, who has 55 career interceptions including 13 for the Rattlers last season, is one corner. Arkeith Brown is the other corner.

Floyd's ability to return kickoffs adds value to to the Rattlers.

Defensive back Allen "Bubba" Chapman also was placed on recallable waivers, along with fullback Tim Wilkinson.

The Rattlers activated receiver Kerry Reed and defensive lineman Alex Magee from the physically unable to perform list and placed receiver Rod Windsor and offensive lineman Keith Williams on inactive reserve.

Offensive lineman Michael Huey, a big part of the team's past two championships, has been placed on league suspension as he tries out for an NFL team.
