The Dallas Renegades made three roster moves today and one was waiving former Texas wide receiver/quarterback, Jerrod Heard. Being injured for the entire season, Heard was falling and falling down the depth chart, before being waived.
Heard has been replaced by former Carolina Panther, Cleveland Brown, and Chicago Bear wide receiver Armanti Edwards. Like Heard, he was a quarterback during his time in college at Appalachian State.
ROSTER UPDATE: The Renegades have made 3 roster moves this week, adding WR Armanti Edwards, OLB Jesse Aniebonam, and QB Brogan Roback. WR Jerrod Heard was waived. OLB Hau'oli Kikaha has retired. QB Eric Dungey was placed on the Reserve/Left Squad list due to a family matter. pic.twitter.com/4aRBbLoExC

During his time at Texas, Heard had a 58.3 completion percentage, while passing for 1,214 yards and five touchdowns. Making the switch to receiver after his freshman year, he then had 540 receiving yards and four touchdowns on 58 receptions.
After going undrafted in 2019, Heard will now look to get healthy again to make his way back into professional football. If the NFL is not there for him, the XFL should have a spot for his talent.
