Weaver (undisclosed) had a tryout with the Chargers on Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Weaver was let go by the Jets in late August after reaching an injury settlement with the team. The linebacker now appears to be back to full health, and he'll look to latch on with a new team in an attempt to play in 2025.

The Jets released Weaver (undisclosed) with an injury settlement Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Weaver was slated to spend the entire 2025 season on the Jets' injured reserve list after suffering an unspecified injury during training camp, but now he'll become a free agent instead. He'll be able to suit up with any team willing to sign him as soon as he's back in football shape.

Weaver (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve by the Jets on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Weaver appears to have suffered an undisclosed injury at training camp with New York, which is now set to sideline him for the season. The linebacker would be eligible to return to action this year if he reached an injury settlement with the team, otherwise he'll shift his focus to being ready for 2026.

Weaver is in line to sign a one-year contract with New York, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Weaver, a 2021 fourth-round pick, spent the first three seasons of his career in Tennessee before being waived, then appearing in just three games with the Texans in 2024. He'll now work to secure a depth role in the Jets' pass rush rotation.

The Texans waived Weaver on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Weaver caught on with the Texans in early September after being waived by the Titans at the end of training camp. He played just 40 snaps (14 on defense, 26 on special teams) across three regular-season outings but did not record a tackle over that span. Should he clears waivers, Weaver will look to catch on with a team in need of depth at defensive end.

Weaver was waived by the Titans on Wednesday, Turron Davenport of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Weaver was let go after he recorded one tackle with the team in the preseason. The linebacker was selected in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft by Tennessee, appearing 33 total games over his first three seasons in the league. Weaver will now potentially look for another opportunity elsewhere.

Weaver (coach's decision) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
The 25-year-old linebacker had been playing a limited role on Tennessee's defense this season after recording 5.5 sacks last year, and it now seems as if he's fallen even further down the team's depth chart. Weaver has posted only six total tackles this year while playing on 18 percent of the Titans' defensive snaps.

Weaver recorded 27 tackles, 5.5 sacks and six passes defended across 16 games in 2022.
EDGE Analysis
After playing only 11 defensive snaps in his rookie season, Weaver joined Tennesse's linebacker rotation in 2022. He responded by showing an ability to get pressure on the quarterback while also helping out in coverage. Weaver should have the chance to take another step forward as he enters this third year as a pro in 2023.
