Raiders signed RB Darwin Thompson, formerly of the Chiefs.
Drafted by the Chiefs in 2019, Thompson spent the previous two seasons on various practice squads after playing in Kansas City for the first two years of his career. It is unlikely Thompson breaks the opening day roster, something he will look to accomplish over the coming weeks.
Seahawks waived RB Darwin Thompson.
Thompson spent all of last season on the Seahawks practice squad and hasn't suited up for a game since 2020. An undersized back who has a career rushing line of 64-225-2, Thompson will likely find somewhere to compete for a job this offseason, but his days as an NFL contributor appear to be over. In addition to Thompson, the Seahawks also parted ways with DT Jarrod Hewitt, DB Chris Steele, WR Connor Wedington, and WR Easop Winston.
Seahawks signed RB Darwin Thompson to a reserve/future contract.
A sixth-round pick of the Chiefs in 2019, Thompson was on the fantasy radar for a moment but ended up falling out of favor in Kansas City and spent the end of this past season on the Bucs' practice squad. He'll look for a fresh start in Seattle with Rashaad Penny a free agent and Chris Carson's (neck) future unclear.
Bucs signed RB Darwin Thompson to the practice squad.
We aren't typically in the business of blurbing practice squad moves, but the ex-Chief lands in one of the league's best offenses behind a pair of early-down backs in Ronald Jones and Leonard Fournette who spent all of 2020 failing to run with No. 1 duties. Thompson will probably be the first man up to the 53-man roster if either RoJo or Fournette gets hurt.
