The Dolphins claimed defensive tackle Matthew Butler off waivers, the team announced Tuesday.

The Raiders cut Butler on Monday.

The Raiders made Butler a fifth-round pick in 2022, and he appeared in 15 games the past three seasons. He had 15 tackles and half a sack.

The Dolphins waived defensive tackle Tre'vonn Rybka in a corresponding move.

Rybka signed with the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent on May 9. He was a four-year letterman at Kentucky, where he appeared in 48 career games with 25 starts. He totaled 95 tackles, five sacks, 11.5 tackles for loss, one pass defensed and one forced fumble during his time with the Wildcats.

The Chiefs have two more draft picks under contract.

The NFL's daily transaction report shows that they signed third-round pick Ashton Gillotte and fourth-round pick Jalen Royals. Both players agreed to four-year deals with the team.

Gillotte had 43 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and 4.5 sacks at Louisville last season. He joins George Karlaftis, Mike Danna, Charles Omenihu, and Felix Anudike-Uzomah as defensive end options in Kansas City.

Royals had 55 catches for 834 yards and six touchdowns in seven games for Utah State before a season-ending foot injury. He'll try for snaps as part of a wide receiver group that also includes Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, Rashee Rice, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Skyy Moore.

The Titans made several roster moves Tuesday.

The team announced it has signed veteran cornerback Amani Oruwariye and veteran defensive lineman Carlos Watkins. Oruwariye's agreement previously was reported.

The Titans also claimed linebacker Amari Burney off waivers.

They cut defensive lineman Abdullah Anderson and cornerback Garnett Hollis Jr.

Watkins, 31, spent last season with the Commanders and the Cowboys. Dallas claimed him off waivers on Sept. 18 after he had played one game with Washington, and Watkins was on the field in 15 games for the Cowboys.

He has played 87 career games, with 37 starts, and has totaled 151 tackles, 17 tackles for a loss and eight quarterback hits.

Watkins, a fourth-round pick of the Texans in 2017, has spent time with the Texans (2017-20), Cowboys (2021-22, '24), Cardinals (2023), Rams (2024) and Commanders (2024).

Burney recently was waived by the Raiders, and the Titans are first in the NFL's claiming order.

The Raiders made Burney a sixth-round pick in 2023, and he played 24 games the past two seasons, including all 17 games in 2024.

Burney has registered 32 tackles, including three for a loss, and a quarterback hit.
