MARQUEZ CALLAWAY NEWS

Let go by Tampa Bay The Buccaneers released Callaway on Tuesday, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.

Impact Callaway signed a reserve/future contract with Tampa Bay in January, but the team no longer had a need for him after drafting Emeka Egbuka in the first round and signing Tez Johnson as an undrafted free agent. Callaway played only four offensive snaps in two games with the Buccaneers during the 2024 campaign and will now look to catch on with another team.

Signs with Tampa Bay Callaway signed a reserve/future contract with the Bucs on Tuesday.

Impact Let go by New Orleans in August, Callaway signed with Tampa Bay's practice squad in October and appeared in a pair of regular-season contests, though he played a total of five offensive snaps. Turning 27 years old in March, Callaway will compete for a roster spot this coming offseason.

Descends to practice squad Callaway reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Monday.

Impact This was Callaway's second game this season with both Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle) out of the lineup while Jalen McMillan (hamstring) was active but didn't play any snaps. Still, Callaway played just two offensive snaps and didn't draw a target.

Elevated again for Week 10 The Buccaneers elevated Callaway from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Callaway was elevated for the first time last week to face Kansas City and logged two offensive snaps without drawing a target. Tampa Bay can use all the help it can get at receiver with Chris Godwin (ankle) lost for the season, Mike Evans (hamstring) out for a third straight week and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) questionable against the 49ers on Sunday. Even with all of those injuries, Callaway doesn't figure to be a major factor versus San Francisco given his snap count last week.

Back to practice squad Callaway reverted to the Buccaneers' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction long

Impact Callaway was elevated to the active roster ahead of Monday's 30-24 loss to Kansas City, failing to log any stats while playing just two offensive snaps. With Mike Evans (hamstring) and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) both unavailable, Callaway failed to capitalize on his opportunity. If either Evans or McMillan is unable to play Sunday against the 49ers, Callaway could be elevated from the practice squad again.

Joins Bucs' active roster Callaway was elevated to the Buccaneers' active roster Monday, Scott Smith of the Buccaneers' official site reports.

Impact Callaway signed with Tampa Bay's practice squad in mid-October, and he's now in line to make his 2024 debut in Monday night's matchup against the Chiefs. The Tennessee product appeared in just three games with the Saints in 2023, recording no stats across 27 offensive snaps. Expect Callaway to serve as a depth piece in a depleted Buccaneers wide receiver room in Week 9.

Gets chance in Tampa Bay Callaway signed a deal with the Buccaneers' practice squad Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Callaway spent the offseason with the Steelers before being cut at the start of training camp. He quickly found a new opportunity in New Orleans, where he spent his first four seasons, and spent training camp in the Big Easy. However, he was unable to make it through final roster cuts. The fifth-year pass catcher will now look to make an impression with a new NFC South team in Tampa.

Let go by New Orleans The Saints cut Callaway on Sunday.

Impact The move is to make room on the Saints' 90-man training camp roster for wide receiver Shaquan Davis. After being let go by Pittsburgh in late July, Callaway returned to New Orleans on Aug. 1 after spending most of the 2023 season on the Saints' practice squad. He played 16 snaps (15 on offense, one on special teams) in Saturday's 16-14 preseason win over the Cardinals, but he was unable to convert on his lone target from quarterback Spencer Rattler late in the fourth quarter. Should he clear waviers, Callaway will look to earn a spot on another team that is in need of depth at wide receiver.

Reconnects with New Orleans The Saints signed Callaway to a contract Thursday.

Impact The move comes after the Saints waived tight end Tommy Hudson (undisclosed) with an injury designation. Callaway spent the first four years of his career in New Orleans, starting in 2020. His best season came in 2021, when he posted 46 catches for 698 yards and six touchdowns across 17 regular-season games. Callaway signed with the Steelers in January after appearing in just three games in 2023, but he was let go by Pittsburgh on Tuesday. With Equanimeous St. Brown dealing with a hamstring injury, Callaway has the opportunity earn a spot as a depth wide receiver behind Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed and Cedrick Wilson.

Signs with Broncos Callaway has agreed to terms with the Broncos, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Impact Per Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post, Callaway is joining the Broncos on a one-year deal. The 6-foot-2, 204-pounder is coming off a 2022 season in which he caught 16 passes for 158 yards and a TD in 14 games with the Saints, but it's worth noting that Callaway posted career-best marks (46/698/6) in 2021 while working with Sean Payton (now Denver's head coach) in New Orleans. For now, however, he slots in behind Jerry Jeudy, Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick on his new team's wideout depth chart, but the 24-year-old does give the Broncos added depth on that front in the event that KJ Hamler (pectoral) isn't ready for game action early on this coming season.

Report: Saints Won't Tender Offer to RFA Marquez Callaway According to reports, New Orleans will not be offering a contract to their 2021 receiving leader Marquez Callaway.

MARCH 13, 2023 • CHARLOTTEOBSERVER.COM

Not expected to be tendered The Saints are not expected to tender Callaway, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Callaway has totaled 1,069 yards and seven touchdowns in three years with the Saints and was set for restricted free agency this summer, but the undrafted wideout will be free to sign anywhere he wants if his contract isn't tendered. Fowler added that a return to the Saints could still be in the cards if Callaway can't find a better deal elsewhere, but for now, the 6-foot-2 speedster appears on his way out of New Orleans.
