10 former Ravens are signed to UFL teams

With the NFL season now in the rearview and the UFL set to debut, we’re looking at 10 former Baltimore Ravens who are participating in the spring league

With the NFL season now complete and the offseason underway, Baltimore has one of the most extended lists of players who are getting another shot in the new eight-team UFL, which kicks off season kicks off on Saturday, March 30, 2024, with the battle of the 2023 champions: Arlington Renegades vs Birmingham Stallions.

A combination agreement (the “UFL”) is the premier spring football league that resulted from the merger of the XFL and USFL.

Russ Brandon, former President and CEO of the XFL, will lead the UFL as President and CEO. Former USFL President of Football Operations Daryl Johnston will lead football operations.

Founded in 2001, the XFL was a collaboration between NBC and WWF (WWE), spearheaded by Vince McMahon. After a hot start, poor ratings ultimately led to the league’s lasting just one season. The league returned in 2020, with McMahon again leading the reboot, but it had to close its doors again after COVID-19 shut things down after just five weeks.

The league filed for bankruptcy and was forced to sell.

A group headed by Dany Garcia, including Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, bought the league out of bankruptcy for $15 million, eyeing 2023 as its return season.

The UFL has eight teams in Arlington (TX), Birmingham (AL), Detroit (MI), Houston (TX), San Antonio (TX), Memphis (TN), St. Louis (MO), and Washington D.C.

With action to begin this weekend, we’re looking at 10 former Ravens on UFLrosters.

7 quarterbacks Jaguars could sign after Patriots claimed Nathan Rourke

The Jaguars are suddenly in need of a quarterback with Trevor Lawrence in concussion protocol and Nathan Rourke claimed by the Patriots.

Update: The Jaguars signed E.J. Perry to their practice squad Tuesday.

The Jacksonville Jaguars are in sudden need of a quarterback.

For most of the year, the team has carried two quarterbacks on the active roster, Trevor Lawrence and C.J. Beathard, as well as former CFL star Nathan Rourke on the practice squad.

Now the team temporarily has only one passer after Lawrence landed in the concussion protocol and Rourke was claimed off waivers by the New England Patriots.

Rourke, 25, was signed to the active roster in October when Lawrence was questionable for a Week 7 game due to a knee injury. The Jaguars then waived Rourke and added him back to the practice squad after the game.

Jacksonville tried to do the same when an ankle sprain had Lawrence questionable for a Week 14 game. But the Patriots scooped up Rourke before he could get back to the Jaguars’ practice squad.

If Lawrence can’t play Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, there’s no doubt that Beathard will be the team’s starter. But there’s also no question that the Jaguars need to add another player at the position.

Here are seven quarterbacks on the market who could be considered by the Jaguars:

Bengals to sign QB Reid Sinnett after Joe Burrow’s injury

The Bengals will add a QB with Joe Burrow out.

The Cincinnati Bengals hosted two quarterbacks on workouts in the wake of Joe Burrow’s injury near the start of training camp.

Cincinnati signed one of those on the same day.

According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Bengals intend to sign Reid Sinnett.

Sinnett, formerly of the Miami Dolphins and XFL’s San Antonio Brahmas, was undrafted in 2020 out of San Diego and spent some time on Miami’s active roster as emergency relief before seeking out the XFL.

That means the Bengals, including Trevor Siemian and Jake Browning, now have three names to take practice and preseason reps while Burrow recovers from his strained calf, which head coach Zac Taylor says will take “several” weeks.

Former Eagles’ QB Reid Sinnett to sign with the Bengals

With Joe Burrow nursing a calf injury, the #Bengals are signing former #Eagles quarterback Reid Sinnett

Reid Sinnett is back in the NFL, as the former Eagles developmental quarterback will join the Bengals with Joe Burrow nursing a calf injury.

Burrow suffered the non-contact injury toward the end of Thursday’s practice and needed to be taken off the field on a cart.

He’ll miss several weeks, allowing Sinnett to get game action during the preseason.

Sinnett spent the 2022 season on the Dolphins practice squad after being released by Philadelphia, and most recently, he spent time with the XFL’s San Antonio Brahmas before suffering an injury.

Colts workout former Eagles, Bucs QB Reid Sinnett

The Colts worked out QB Reid Sinnett on Thursday.

The Indianapolis Colts continue to evaluate the roster at every position. The team is bringing in competition at quarterback.

Per NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Colts plan to bring in former Eagles and Bucs quarterback Reid Sinnett.

Sinnett, who is 6’4″ and 225 pounds, spent time with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2020 and was with the Eagles in 2021. He also did two stints with the Dolphins in the last few years, including time on the practice squad last season, before playing in the XFL with the San Antonio Brahmas.

 

Free agent QB Reid Sinnett also working out for Seahawks today

While training camp won’t technically start until Wednesday, the Seahawks front office is definitely putting in a full day.

While training camp won’t technically start until Wednesday, the Seahawks front office is definitely putting in a full day.

Ever since free agency began, Pete Carroll and John Schneider have been hyper-focused on improving their defensive front seven. That work continued today as the team brought in three free agents for a workout: two linebackers and a defensive lineman. A quarterback is also visiting, apparently.

According to a report by Jordan Schultz, free-agent QB Reid Sinnett will be throwing at the VMAC today.

Sinnett (6-foot-4, 225 pounds) keeps today’s San Diego origin story theme going strong. While he didn’t get much experience at the college level, Sinnett got his money’s worth. In his one season as a starter, he totaled 3,528 passing yards and 32 touchdowns and added another 174 yards and six scores as a rusher. He was named a Walter Payton Award finalist for his efforts.

Since going undrafted, Sinnett has put in time with several NFL teams, beginning with the Buccaneers in 2020, followed by the Miami Dolphins and the Philadelphia Eagles. Last season he played for the San Antonio Brahmas in the XFL but suffered a broken foot in his only start.

If the Seahawks sign Sinnett, he’ll likely compete with Holton Ahlers for the No. 3 spot on the depth chart at quarterback.

You can never have enough quality signal-callers on the roster and with NFL training camps in full swing, another former Eagle is looking to land a job.

According to Jordan Schultz, Reid Sinnett will work out for the Seattle Seahawks before training camp.

Sinnett spent the 2022 season on the Dolphins practice squad after being released by Philadelphia, and most recently, he spent time with the XFL’s San Antonio Brahmas before suffering an injury.

Browns tryout 6 including TE Jace Sternberger and FB/H Clint Ratkovich

The Browns tried out 6 players today, including 2019 third rounders Jace Sternberger and Kahale Warring, and hybrid back Clint Ratkovich.

The Cleveland Browns continue to look for any sort of churn to the bottom of their roster and practice squad, trying out six players today. Already twice this season, the Browns have signed two players from tryouts to their practice squad. First, it was former Miami Redhawk safety Mike Brown who won a spot, then just this week wide receiver Cyril Grayson worked his way onto the practice squad from a tryout.

Most notably, the Browns tried out two tight ends Jace Sternberger and Kahale Warring, who were both third round picks in the 2019 NFL Draft. This comes as the Browns have ruled David Njoku out for a second straight game. Another player of interest is former Northern Illinois versatile fullback Clint Ratkovich, who suffered a devastating injury during a pre-draft workout with the Green Bay Packers in April that led to him going undrafted.

Quarterback Reid Sinnett, linebacker Ron’Dell Carter, and center Beau Benzschawel rounded out the rest of those who tried out. Again, there has been movement on the practice squad the past two times the Browns have held tryouts, so we could see movement again.

Dolphins worked out two other QBs before signing Reid Sinnett

Miami was looking for a practice squad QB to start the week.

With Tua Tagovailoa in concussion protocol and just Teddy Bridgewater and Skylar Thompson on the roster, the Miami Dolphins started the week looking for a third quarterback to add to their practice squad.

Head coach Mike McDaniel announced on Monday that they had landed on Reid Sinnett, who was in Miami for parts of 2020 and 2021, but he wasn’t the only option.

According to the NFL’s transaction wire, the Dolphins also had Jake Fromm and Ben DiNucci in for workouts.

DiNucci was a seventh-round pick of the Dallas Cowboys back in 2020. He played in three games as a rookie (starting one), completing 53.4% of his attempts for 219 yards and a 67.8 passer rating.

Fromm was expected to be a top pick in 2020, but he fell to the fifth round where he was selected by the Buffalo Bills. After spending the first few months of his second season on Buffalo’s practice squad, he was signed by the New York Giants. He played three games (starting two), completing 45% of his attempts for 210 yards with one touchdown and three interceptions.

Sinnett was probably the right call for now, but keep these names in mind just in case there’s another injury.
