Sat Aug 31 201316:29Jets release WR Mohamed Massaquoi
Jets released WR Mohamed Massaquoi.
Massaquoi was just signed nine days ago. The 26-year-old couldn't beat out the likes of Clyde Gates, Ryan Spadola, and Ben Obomanu for a roster spot. Massaquoi has been cut by both the Jets and Jaguars this summer. It doesn't bode well for his NFL future that he couldn't make two of the weaker rosters.

Jaguars released WR Mohamed Massaquoi.
They're eating a $65,000 signing bonus and $25,000 workout bonus. Massaquoi was outplayed by UDFA types Mike Brown and Tobias Palmer among others during Jaguars camp, dropping balls and playing tentatively. The former second-round pick is only 26 years old, but may be on his last legs in the NFL.

Sun Aug 4 201315:52Mohamed Massaquoi struggling at Jags camp
Jaguars WR Mohamed Massaquoi has been "a little up but mostly down" in training camp practices.
Massaquoi received first-team reps during Saturday's intrasquad scrimmage, but perhaps only because Justin Blackmon (groin surgery) is still on the shelf. Reports out of Jags camp indicate Massaquoi has been outplayed by second-year practice squad WR Mike Brown, as well as rookie slot prospect Ace Sanders.

Sat Apr 13 201315:37Jaguars to try Massaquoi at slot receiver
The Jaguars are expected to try Mohamed Massaquoi at slot receiver in training camp, where he'll compete with Jordan Shipley.
Massaquoi looked like a future vertical threat as a rookie, but his play speed has since diminished and he's not a physical player. We expect he'll be a tough fit in the slot. As the roster currently stands, Justin Blackmon and Cecil Shorts are the Jaguars' starters with Massaquoi and Shipley as Nos. 3 and 4.

Wed Apr 10 201311:07Texans offered Massaquoi a contract
The Texans offered Mohamed Massaquoi a contract before he signed with the Jaguars.
It's a sign that the Texans aren't sold on Lestar Jean or Keshawn Martin. With DeVier Posey unlikely to be ready for the start of the season thanks to an Achilles' tendon tear, we'd expect Houston to spend an early-round pick at the wideout spot.

Fri Apr 5 201315:24Jaguars sign WR Massaquoi
Jaguars signed WR Mohamed Massaquoi, formerly of the Browns, to a two-year contract.
Massaquoi, 26, caught 17 passes for 254 yards (14.9 YPR) and no scores last season, appearing in nine games (five starts). Injury prone and lacking physicality to his game, perhaps Massaquoi could help the Jaguars as a situational deep threat. He averages 14.8 yards per career catch. Jacksonville is set in the starting lineup with Cecil Shorts at X receiver and Justin Blackmon at Z.

Free agent Mohamed Massaquoi visited the Texans.
The Texans have a glaring need at receiver, but Massaquoi wouldn't be much of an upgrade on recently released Kevin Walter. The former Brown visited the Jaguars on Monday, and has also drawn interest from the Jets.

Tue Apr 2 201313:40Jags offered Massaquoi contract
The Jaguars offered free agent WR Mohamed Massaquoi a contract during his Monday visit.
Since it was Massaquoi's first visit, it was also likely his first offer. Massaquoi would play for near the league minimum as he competes for the No. 3 or 4 receiver spot in Jacksonville.

Tue Apr 2 201311:04Mohamed Massaquoi visits with Jags
Free agent WR Mohamed Massaquoi visited the Jaguars Monday.
Massaquoi has predictably generated zero buzz on the free agent market after catching just 118 passes over four seasons with the Browns. The Jags are kicking the tires on him as a No. 3 or 4 wideout.

Tue Mar 12 201313:22Jets show interest in Mohamed Massaquoi
The Jets have shown interest in free agent Mohamed Massaquoi.
26-year-old Massaquoi has been playing soft on the field for years, in the rare instances he's seen it. He's one of the league's more injury-prone receivers. To Massaquoi's credit, he does run a tick faster than Chaz Schilens.

Sun Feb 10 201309:25Massaquoi expected to walk via free agency
The Cleveland Plain Dealer agrees that impending free agent Mohamed Massaquoi is unlikely to be brought back.
It's time for Cleveland to move on from the former second-round pick out of Georgia. Massaquoi has battled injuries throughout his career, and he hasn't appeared in all 16 games in a season since his rookie year. He lacks downfield speed, and shouldn't draw much attention on the free-agent market.

Wed Feb 6 201309:50Mohamed Massaquoi likely done with Browns
ESPN Cleveland does not expect free agent WR Mohamed Massaquoi to re-sign with the Browns.
After four disappointing years in Cleveland, it's time to move on. Massaquoi never topped 36 catches in a season, had two 100-yard games and got severely outplayed by Josh Gordon in 2012. Expect a soft market for the former second-round pick.

Browns placed WR Mohamed Massaquoi (knee) on injured reserve, ending his season.
Massaquoi was limited to just nine games this year due to injury. An impending free agent, it's hard to see him returning with the Browns next season. QB Thad Lewis has been promoted from the practice squad in a corresponding move.

Sun Dec 23 201214:44Massaquoi leads Browns inactives
Browns declared WR Mohamed Massaquoi, RB Brandon Jackson, FS Tashaun Gipson, LB Adrian Moten, DT Ishmaa'ily Kitchen, G Jarrod Shaw and TE Jordan Cameron inactive for Week 16 against the Broncos.
It will be Massaquoi's sixth missed game of the season. It's hard to see the 26-year-old fourth-year pro returning to Cleveland in 2013. Cameron's absence should mean increased looks for veteran Ben Watson, but he's not on the radar as a TE2.

Fri Dec 21 201214:42Massaquoi ruled out for Week 16
Mohamed Massaquoi (knee) has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Broncos.
Undrafted rookie slot receiver Josh Cooper will be active for the first time in five weeks, although his game-day role is unclear. Massaquoi's contract year has been just like his first three seasons in the league; injury riddled and disappointing. He may have played his final snap in a Browns uniform.

Sun Dec 2 201220:39Massaquoi makes two grabs in Week 13 win
Mohamed Massaquoi caught two passes for 60 yards in Sunday's Week 13 win over the Raiders.
Massaquoi saw just the two targets while working as the team's No. 3 receiver. His big gain was a 54-yarder in the second half where Greg Little laid a big block to spring him down the field. There's nothing to see here.
