Notable candidates include quarterback Sam Ehlinger, who is competing for the backup role, and running back Jaleel McLaughlin, facing stiff competition after the draft. Additionally, wide receiver Hakeem Butler is seen as a potential red-zone target, while tight end Caleb Lohner's status remains uncertain due to recovery from an injury.
