He joined the team in late November when George Hullani got hurt, but only saw one offensive snap in week 18 against the San Francisco. 49ers, plus two kick returns for 54 yards versus the Carolina Panthers. They brought him up from the practice squad through their Super Bowl run, but with the draft shake-up, it was time to move on.

Undrafted free agents should start signing soon, and they can even hit 91, thanks to an international player exemption.
