LSU declined to add Dae'Quan Wright and XZavian Harris to its 105-man football roster this week, leaving both players currently without a team. The decision followed reports of SEC pressure and threats of expulsion if the Tigers attempted to sign players who had previously held professional contracts. Attorney Ryan Downton stated that both players are now evaluating potential legal options regarding their status. Meanwhile, agent Drew Rosenhaus confirmed that his client, Wright, is waiting for the NFL to determine his eligibility for a return to the league. Other NFL teams have expressed interest in Wright, but he remains in a period of uncertainty while the league office reviews his situation. Harris is also seeking opportunities with professional clubs following his time with the Saints this offseason.
