Tue Jun 24 2014 | 11:58 | Report: Cowboys to sign G Uche Nwaneri |
ESPN's Adam Caplan reports the Cowboys are expected to sign free agent G Uche Nwaneri. |
Nwaneri, 30, was cut by the Jaguars in March. He's flirted with the Titans and Bengals since. In Dallas, Nwaneri would simply compete for a roster spot on what appears to be one of the better offensive lines in the league. Nwaneri brings plenty of experience, having started 92 games since 2007. |

Free agent G Uche Nwaneri is visiting the Titans Wednesday. |
Fellow free agent guard Garrett Reynolds is also in Nashville for a visit as the Titans look for depth behind Andy Levitre and Chance Warmack. Nwaneri is a far superior option and shouldn't be too much more expensive. |

Tue Mar 11 2014 | 20:47 | Bengals to host Uche Nwaneri |
The Bengals will host free agent OG Uche Nwaneri on Thursday. |
Nwaneri is a power blocker in the Bengals' mold. He could push LG Clint Boling for snaps in Cincinnati. Nwaneri, 30, should be quite affordable. |

ESPN's Adam Caplan reports "2-3 teams" are already showing interest in free agent RG Uche Nwaneri. |
Nwaneri was released by the Jaguars Tuesday. Players that are cut from teams are free to sign with another club at any time and don't have to wait until March 11. Most of these players like to take advantage and agree to terms before the market is flooded. Nwaneri is part of a weak free-agent guard class. |

Nwaneri, 30 later this month, started all 16 games last season and graded out as Pro Football Focus' No. 16 right guard. He's spent his entire seven-year career with the Jaguars since being a fifth-round pick in 2007 and has started 92 games. His release saves the Jaguars $3.705 million, leaving Jacksonville with over $60 million in cap space. The Jaguars now need a starting right guard, left guard, and center. Left tackle Luke Joeckel is the only locked in starter. |

In addition to a knee scope, Jaguars RG Uche Nwaneri is recovering from a stem-cell procedure on his troublesome knee. |
Dr. James Andrews performed the routine arthroscopy, and two weeks later Nwaneri had stem cells removed from his hip and injected into the knee. Nwaneri played through a meniscus tear and torn cartilage in the knee last season. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has filed a lawsuit against the stem-cell procedure (called "Regenexx") and contends it's a public health risk. |

The Jaguars have reportedly reached an agreement on an extension with G/C Uche Nwaneri. |
Nwaneri remains the one bulwark on the interior in Jacksonville. The Jags appear to have given up hopes of moving him to center, so Nwaneri will enter the season at left guard with Vince Manuwai and Brad Meester lightly penciled in at right guard and center respectively. |
