Maye, wide receiver Riley McCarron, defensive back A.J. Moore, fullback Henry Poggi, offensive lienman Brian Schwenke, offensive lineman Matt Tobin, defensive back Damarius Travis, tight end Will Tye, defensive lineman Vincent Valentine, running back Ralph Webb and cornerback Jomal Wiltz.

Among the quirks in their roster at the moment is that they have just three wide receivers, setting the stage for more moves tomorrow.
