It seemed Braylon Edwards had weathered the worst of it. Speculation had the Browns trading him out of Cleveland by draft weekend, yet four days later, he's still on the roster. 
The Houston Texans shed two large salaries already, and today announced the release of defensive end Anthony Weaver, model safety Will Demps and left tackle Ephraim Salaam. In summary: Weaver's play in a 4-3 never came close to justified his salary, Demps lost his starting job last year, and Salaam wasn't happy splitting minutes with rookie Duane Brown.

When you hear of a male model, the last thing that comes to mind is an NFL player. But Texans safety Will Demps is just that, and he is no Zoolander. Demps, who is half Korean and half African-American, is an inspiration to millions, as he has worked hard all his life just to prove he can make it. Demps starred for his high school football team, but no major college would give him a scholarship, so he ended up walking on at San Diego State. Then he went undrafted by the NFL, but eventually wound up becoming a starter.

Okay. You just knew that the Washington Redskins couldn't resist dipping in the free agent pool. After being eerily quiet, there is finally a name out there of someone the Skins are targeting. It is ... Will Demps?Safety Will Demps likely will be the first free agent to meet with the Washington Redskins this year when he visits Redskin Park later this week.
Demps, 28, played his first four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens before moving to the New York Giants in 2006 and the Houston Texans last season when he was a Pro Bowl alternate.
One of the Redskins holes is at the safety position. They need to find a guy to fill in the spot once owned by the late Sean Taylor. The 2007 first round draft pick LaRon Landry will most likely fill that role, but the team will need someone to take over next to him. Demps certainly could be that guy.
Washington used Reed Doughty last year and he played well. However, the depth at that position will most likely bolt via free agency.
I'll be honest, when the Ravens chose not to re-sign safety Will Demps last off-season, I was sure their secondary would suffer. Instead, GM Ozzie Newsome used a second-day pick on Dawan Landry, put him in the starting lineup, and all he did was provide great run support and rack up five interceptions. This is why I'm not an NFL personnel guy. 
You will not find one Giants 53-man roster projection without Will Demps' name on it, but they would all be wrong. In a rather shocking decision by Coach Tom Coughlin, the New York Giants have decided to part ways with the six-year veteran safety.12:01 p.m. S Will Demps has been cut, his agent, Tony Agnone, has confirmed. Agnone said the team will give Demps an injury settlement for his dislocated elbow.Demps struggled in his first season with New York, but many attributed that to the continued recovery of a serious knee injury. Unfortunately, he never really got it going in training camp and was eventually demoted to the second team before going down with a dislocated elbow in week two of the preseason.
The most frustrating part of being a Giants fan over the last three years has been the overwhelming amount of injuries. Not once in those three years have the Giants managed to play through a season without a significant injury. In fact, they'd consider it a good year if they only suffered a single significant injury.
