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.

Weaver recorded logged 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble on his two tackles in Sunday's 17-10 win over the Broncos.
EDGE Analysis
Weaver came up big with 1.5 sacks on Denver's final offensive drive, including a strip-sack that was ultimately recovered for a nine-yard loss by the Broncos. The second-year outside linebacker now has 12 tackles, including 5.5 sacks, over eight games this season, and he should continue to see plenty of pass-rushing opportunities if Bud Dupree (hip) remains out against the Packers on Thursday.

Weaver (back) was a full participant in practice Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Weaver was sidelined for Week 8 against the Texans due to a back issue, but he's on track to return Sunday in Kansas City. The Pittsburgh product has enjoyed success in his second season of NFL action, registering 10 tackles (eight solo) four sacks, one pass defensed and one forced fumble through six games.

Weaver (back) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Texans, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Weaver played a season-low 41 percent of the Titans' defensive snaps in Week 7 and was unable to practice during Week 8 prep due a back issue. The extent of his injury remains unclear, but the second-year linebacker will turn his focus on trying to suit up in Week 9. The Titans already have two outside linebackers on IR, so they'll be extremely thin on pass rushers against Houston.

Weaver notched four tackles (three solo) and two sacks during Sunday's 21-20 loss to the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Weaver recorded the first sacks of his career versus Daniel Jones in Week 1, getting his 2022 campaign off on the right foot. The second-year pro will look to keep up his momentum versus Buffalo with a Monday night contest in Week 2.
