Hackenberg is attempting to begin a career in professional baseball, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 2016 second-round pick by the Jets hasn't been on an NFL roster since August 2018, and he never played a snap during his time with New York or the Raiders. Hackenberg also played in the Alliance of American Football before it was shuttered, but he was benched after three starts. He's unlikely to make a return to football at this point, but he'll attempt to continue his athletic career on the diamond.

Hackenberg has been benched in favor of Zach Mettenberger after making three starts for the Memphis Express in the Alliance of American Football, Dylan Rubino of AAF.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hackenberg hoped a change in throwing mechanics would help salvage his football career, but his work with a quarterbacks coach couldn't fix an inability to read defenses and stay calm under pressure. The Jets' 2016 second-round pick went 0-3 as a starter for Memphis, completing 51.6 percent of his passes for 4.5 yards per attempt, with no touchdowns and three interceptions. Mettenberger threw for two touchdowns after he replaced Hackenberg in the second half of Saturday's 21-17 loss to the Orlando Apollos. It's hard to imagine Hackenberg drawing any attention from the NFL in 2019.

Hackenberg recently explained that his throwing mechanics are improving thanks to coaching from his AAF quarterbacks coach, John Luciew of PennLive.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 2016 second-round pariah has been given plenty of chances in the NFL thus far, but Hackenberg's failure to stick with any team has left many questioning why he was worthy of such high draft capital to begin with. Having spent the last few months with the Memphis Express of the Alliance of American Football league, Hackenberg reportedly discovered a mechanical flaw in his throwing motion that was affecting the quarterback's accuracy. It'll be interesting to see if any NFL teams come calling this offseason to learn if the Penn State product has indeed turned a corner in his development.

Hackenberg was among the quarterbacks selected in Tuesday's Alliance of Amercian Football draft, Kevin Seifert of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hackenberg was released from the Bengals' practice squad in early November, but he's found a new home in the newly-formed league. He was selected in the second round of Tuesday's quarterback draft and will be slated to compete with the likes of Troy Cook, Zach Mettenberger and Brandon Silvers. Should he win the starting job, Hackenberg could get an opportunity to prove to NFL scouts that he's worthy of a roster spot come 2019.

Hackenberg was released from the Bengal's practice squad Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Hackenberg joined Cincinnati's practice squad during the beginning of the 2018 regular season, but was ultimately unable to stick with the unit. The 2016 second-round pick will look to earn a depth role elsewhere in the league.

Hackenberg was signed to the Bengals' practice squad on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hackenberg spent the offseason in Philadelphia but failed to secure a spot on the 53-man roster. The former 2016 second-round selection will now join his fourth different team.

Hackenberg was waived by the Eagles on Friday, Matt Lombardo reports.

EDGE Analysis

Even with Carson Wentz (knee) and Nick Foles struggling through injuries all preseason, Hackenberg was unable to carve out a backup position. The 2016 second-rounder moves on from his third team of the offseason after being traded by the Jets and cut by the Raiders. Hackenberg will be an unrestricted free agent if he clears waivers.

The Eagles signed Hackenberg to a contract Sunday, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Philadelphia is an interesting landing spot for Hackenberg. Upon his arrival, he may receive a far amount of snaps with Carson Wentz (knee) and Nick Foles (neck) on the mend. That said, it'd be a surprise if Hackenberg beats out Nate Sudfeld for the No. 3 job due to his experience in the system.

Hackenberg was waived by the Raiders on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Hackenberg was acquired by the Raiders in a trade for a conditional 2019 seventh-round pick with the Jets, but it appears Oakland quickly realized they had no use for the quarterback on their roster. With Hackenberg's release, the Raiders get back the seventh-round pick they originally traded and Hackenberg will be an unrestricted free agent should he clear waivers.

Hackenberg was traded to the Raiders on Tuesday in exchange for a conditional 2019 seventh-round pick.

EDGE Analysis

Hackenberg was the odd man out during the start of OTAs on Tuesday, as he saw less reps than each of the other three Jets quarterbacks, and chances are the former Penn State standout was going to be released anyway this offseason after New York acquired Teddy Bridgewater and drafted Sam Darnold with the third overall pick. Hackenberg has been limited to just preseason action in each of the past two seasons, and chances are he'll end up being released by the Raiders, who already had three quarterbacks on their roster, before the start of this regular season.
