Texas Tech is eyeing former NFL players cut in training camp, including tight end Dae’Quan Wright and defensive tackle Zxavian Harris, while also dealing with quarterback Brendan Sorsby’s eligibility saga
The Big Ten and SEC conferences have implemented new rules preventing players who have signed NFL contracts, been on an NFL roster, or declared for the NFL Draft without withdrawing, from returning to play college football for their member institutions. This move could impact players like Dae'Quan Wright, whom LSU intended to add to its roster, and may lead to further legal challenges
Dae’Quan Wright is going back to school. The former Browns tight end cleared waivers on Tuesday, via Adam Schefter of ESPN. Wright now has a clear path to return to college football. He plans to play for LSU. If Wright had been claimed, he would have been unable to play college football. The standard NFL contract, which would have been absorbed by the team claiming it, prevents a player from playing football for anyone else. The move raises future questions. What if an NFL team offers him a roster spot during the 2026 season, while he’s playing for LSU? Can he be signed after the 2026 LSU season ends? Will he have to re-enter the draft in 2027, or does he remain a free agent? The questions are unprecedented, because the situation is. And if the NFL doesn’t already have rules to cover this situation, it needs to figure something out

The Browns made a pair of roster moves on Tuesday afternoon. The NFL’s daily transaction report shows that they claimed tight end Dae’Quan Wright off of waivers from the Eagles. They put defensive back Damarri Mathis on injured reserve in a corresponding move. Wright signed with the Eagles after going undrafted out of Ole Miss. He had 39 catches for 635 yards and five touchdowns during his final college season. Mathis was carted off with an injury at Browns practice on Tuesday. He tore his ACL at a Panthers practice ahead of last season, so it may be back-to-back lost years for Mathis

The Philadelphia Eagles are looking for their next training camp darling, a player who emerges from obscurity to become a fan favorite and potentially make the 53-man roster. This year's candidates include TE Dae'Quan Wright, WR Danny Gray, and DB Maximus Pulley, all aiming to impress coaches and fans during camp
Let’s get to the Philadelphia Eagles news and links … 9 NFL undrafted free agents that could make their rosters in 2026 – SB Nation Dae’quan Wright, TE, Philadelphia Eagles . The Eagles are hoping to turn around last season’s offensive disasters with a brain trust led by new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion, and it would appear that you can expect multi-tight end personnel packages as a major part of that lift. Philly selected Vanderbilt tight end/big receiver Eli Stowers in the second round, and they already have Dallas Goedert and Grant Calcaterra , so you can expect the Eagles to align with this current schematic wave. Another guy who should get an opportunity is Ole Miss tight end Dae’Quan Wright, simply because this guy just knows how to get open for big plays — kind of important for Jalen Hurts . Last season, the 6’4”, 246-pound Wright caught 39 passes on 55 targets for 635 yards and five touchdowns, and he was getting it done to all areas of the field. Moreover, Wright is a good enough inline blocker to add to his potential with his new team, as not all Eagles tight ends are great blockers (yes, this is a Grant Calcaterra reference). 2026 NFL Draft’s best UDFA fits: 1 undrafted free agent to watch on each roster – The Athletic Philadelphia Eagles: Deontae Lawson , LB, Alabama. A two-time captain at Alabama who helped keep things together after Nick Saban retired, Lawson (6-2, 226) is a long and lean off-ball linebacker with quick feet and disciplined eyes between the tackles. I’m not sure if he’ll be able to hold up physically on a down-to-down basis, but he could be a valuable special teams/rotational piece. Breaking down contract details for Eagles’ UDFA class of 2026 – NBCSP The money doesn’t always indicate how well these UDFAs are going to perform. Heck, Blankenship got one of the smallest sums of guaranteed money in his rookie class. But it at least tells us how much the Eagles had to pay to entice these players to come to Philly. This year, Ole Miss DB Kapena Gushiken and International Player Pathway program DE Joshua Weru were at the top of the class with $25,000 signing bonuses and total guarantees of $272,500 each. Philadelphia Eagles 53-man roster prediction ahead of OTAs – BGN WIDE RECEIVER: DeVonta Smith , Makai Lemon, Dontayvion Wicks , Hollywood Brown , Darius Cooper (5) [11]. Smitty is more than ready to take over as WR1 with A.J. Brown soon to be traded. I don’t think it’ll take us long to realize if Lemon is equipped to be a serious contributor as a rookie or not. I’m cautiously optimistic; it’ll be nice to see evidence of his talents translating to the NFL. Wicks is an underrated player who could thrive with more opportunity in Philly than he saw with the Packers . Brown’s deep threat ability and general veteran competence makes him worth keeping around. Wicks and Brown have combined for five career special teams snaps, so, they’re probably not going to help out in that category. The Eagles need to keep around a dirty work guy or two and Cooper showed he’s capable of playing that role last year while also flashing offensive potential. Johnny Wilson was a tough cut here; he was showing promise before suffering a season-ending injury in August. Would like to see him back on the field first before assuming he’ll pick up where he left off. Elijah Moore has never really been a special teams guy and there are too many players ahead of him on offense, so, he’s more realistically looking at a practice squad spot unless there are injury issues. The Eagles could try to have Britain Covey begin the season on the practice squad, which they’ve done in the past, and use up his temporary elevations early on to be their punt returner. Doing so would buy them time to open up a spot for him if they want him to stay around for the rest of the season.
