Former Denton Ryan standout Jarvis Moss, a 6-foot-7, 260-pound defensive end out of Florida who was unsigned during the 2012 NFL season, spent part of Wednesday working out at Valley Ranch but was not signed to a contract, according to the Cowboys’ website.

Moss, 28, left Florida early and was the 17th pick of the first round in the 2007 draft, going to Denver. But he played in only 25 games before the Broncos released him in the middle of the 2010 season.

Moss played the final five games of 2010 with Oakland and then played 14 games and had 1.5 sacks with the Raiders in 2011.

Briefly

• 49ers: Kicker David Akers, who booted an NFL record-tying 63-yard field goal in the season opener, was released. Akers went to San Francisco in 2011 after 12 seasons in Philadelphia and set a 49ers franchise record with 166 points in his first season.

• Rams: Offensive tackle Wayne Hunter, acquired from the Jets before the season began, was released, clearing $4 million in salary cap space.

• Redskins: A.J. Smith, who was fired as general manager of the Chargers after the 2012 season, was hired to be a senior executive with Washington. Smith’s son, Kyle, is a scout for the team.

• Ravens: The team thanked Super Bowl host city New Orleans by donating two 2013 Harley Davidson FLHP motorcycles to the New Orleans Police Department Traffic Division, which escorted the team around the city during Super Bowl week. The Ravens also placed an ad in The Times-Picayune thanking the citizens of New Orleans and the police department “for your warm reception and first-class service to Ravens players, coaches and fans.”

• Chiefs: Right tackle Eric Winston, who signed a four-year, $22 million contract last season, announced via Twitter that he was released by Kansas City, which has the No. 1 pick in the upcoming draft and could be considering Texas A&M’s Luke Joeckel, an Arlington High graduate, or Central Michigan’s Eric Fisher to replace Winston.
