So let’s get to it…
Atlanta Falcons: After having signed offensive tackle Jake Long last week, the Falcons have moved on from Tyler Polumbus. The Falcons have been looking to upgrade their offensive line for a while.

Baltimore Ravens: Ravens first round draft pick, Breshad Perriman, will miss the entire season after having surgery on his knee. The move is a big blow to the Ravens who have struggled to find any offense outside of veteran wide receiver Steve Smith.
Carolina Panthers: The Panthers have traded a conditional 2016 draft pick for defensive end Jared Allen from Chicago. Allen will fill the role vacated by Charles Johnson who is injured.
Chicago Bears: The Bears are in the midst of a complete roster overhaul as they have made a pair of big trades, sending Jared Allen and Jon Bostic to other teams. The Bears are off to a bad start and don’t figure to be competitive this year, but head coach John Fox said the moves were more about scheme fit.
Cincinnati Bengals: The Bengals have signed veteran offensive lineman Andre Whitworth to a one-year extension. The surprising part of this move is that it was only a one-year extension for a player that has been solid for them for a long time.
Cleveland Browns: The Browns have finally parted ways with offensive line coach Andy Moeller, who is in the middle of a domestic abuse case. To replace him, Cleveland has hired Paul Dunn who has been an offensive line coach with a number of teams.
