UDFA Erick Hunter Stakes His Claim in Lions' Scrimmage Showdown

In a padded Lions practice that resembled a scrimmage, undrafted rookie linebacker Erick Hunter stood out by winning two special-teams reps and later forcing a red-zone interception on a pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown. The day featured notable moments from Aidan Hutchinson (a sack), Derrick Barnes and Devin White (in for Malcolm Rodríguez), and several big plays from Jameson Williams and St. Brown, including a late TD sequence that helped set up a game-winning drive. Hunter’s standout showing emerged as the clear highlight among Detroit’s depth pieces.

Ravens Waive Heisman Finalist Pavia Three Months Into UDFA Contract

The Baltimore Ravens waived quarterback Diego Pavia, a Vanderbilt Heisman finalist, just three months into his three-year, $3.1 million UDFA deal with zero guaranteed money. Pavia will go through a 24-hour waiver period during which other teams can claim his contract; if unclaimed, he becomes a free agent and will try to land with another NFL club, likely continuing to compete for a depth-chart role behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley.

Reaves lands record $185M Lakers deal, redefining undrafted contracts

Austin Reaves signs a four-year, $185 million max contract with the Lakers, including a final-season player option, making him the highest-paid undrafted free agent in NBA history. The deal uses cap mechanics that leave the Lakers with roughly $48 million in space this offseason and a ~$21 million cap hold until signing, so it won’t derail their plans but tightens long-term flexibility and reshapes the guard market for other teams.

Vikings Sign Two Former Seahawks as Teasley Begins GM Tenure

New Vikings GM Nolan Teasley started his tenure by signing two former Seahawks undrafted free agents, wide receivers Michael Briscoe and Trayvon Rudolph.

The article notes it’s early to tell how frequently this trend might appear.

Ravens Give Undrafted QB Diego Pavia a Real Shot at Mini-Camp

Baltimore invited undrafted quarterback Diego Pavia to rookie minicamp to earn a roster spot and will evaluate him against Joe Fagnano, with coach Jesse Minter saying, “show us what you can do.” Pavia, a two-year New Mexico State star who transferred to Vanderbilt and became the Commodores’ first Heisman finalist, is entering a competition the Ravens could carry three to five quarterbacks for, while also weighing veteran options (e.g., Heinicke, Tune, Dobbs) that could affect the outcome. The team is also sorting through roster questions at center and other spots as it heads toward training camp.

Bears Target Veteran Edge Rusher Snowden After Raiders Move on

The Chicago Bears could claim Charles Snowden, a former UDFA edge rusher who spent 2024–25 with the Raiders, after Las Vegas waived him. Snowden has shown pass-rush ability and versatility (including occasional inside rushing) and could add veteran depth and competition for Chicago’s edge group as the team assesses Dayo Odeyingbo and Shemar Turner this offseason.

Undrafted Heisman finalist Pavia seeks a path to the Ravens' QB room

Diego Pavia, Vanderbilt star and Heisman runner-up, joined the Baltimore Ravens as an undrafted free agent and participated in rookie minicamp as a potential third quarterback behind Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley. At 5-foot-10 and 24 years old, questions remain about his NFL prospects, but Ravens coach Jesse Minter says the team will let him prove himself; with a non-guaranteed three-year contract and uncertainty about roster spots, a veteran QB could still be added, and the camp will be a key early barometer.

Ravens See 'Force Multiplier' Potential in Diego Pavia as UDFA Eyes QB3 Shot

Baltimore signed Diego Pavia to a three-year undrafted free agent deal after a standout Vanderbilt season that made him a Heisman finalist; Ravens coach Jesse Minter called him a "force multiplier" who can elevate teammates, but he faces an uphill battle to win a roster spot behind Lamar Jackson with Tyler Huntley and Joe Faganano, as the organization plans to give him a clean slate to prove his on-field potential and maturity this summer.
