National Football League roundup

[June 18, 2015]  June 17 (The Sports Xchange) - Offensive guard John Moffitt, who abruptly retired from the NFL in 2013 at age 27, is planning a comeback after battling drug issues, according to a report.

FOX Sports' Jay Glazer said Wednesday that the now 28-year-old Moffitt has decided to unretire.

The Denver Broncos, who still owned his rights, waived Moffitt from the reserve/retired list on Wednesday. He will be subject to the waiver process because Moffitt had fewer than four years of service when he retired. If unclaimed, he will become a free agent.

Moffitt, who was the No. 75 overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft out of Wisconsin, started 15 games at guard for the Seattle Seahawks in 2011 and 2012. The Broncos acquired him on Aug. 20. Moffitt played in two games for Denver before retiring.

The Jacksonville Jaguars signed third-round guard A.J. Cann.

Cann's deal is expected to be worth about $3 million, including an $800,000 signing bonus.

That puts all of the Jaguars' draft picks under contract as the team fields a minicamp this week.

Cann, who started 51 games at South Carolina, is competing at left guard against veteran Zane Beadles as the Jaguars seek to improve a line that gave up a franchise-record 71 sacks last season. The team also signed veteran right tackle Jermey Parnell and center Stefen Wisniewski.
