Rogers agreed to a deal Saturday with the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Rogers worked his way up the TCU depth chart over his five-year college career, earning himself a starting role for the Horned Frogs in the 2025 season. The 24-year-old tight end played 54.4 percent of his snaps inline for TCU's spread scheme and logged 34 catches for 319 yards and two touchdowns on 41 targets over 13 games. Rogers has a massive wingspan (82 and 1/4 inches), finishes catches well and moves very well with his 258-pound body. The tight end is a promising physical prospect, but his low-level elusiveness and lack of starts at the college level put him behind his peers in versatility, knowledge and experience.

Aguilar is slated to sign with the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Aguilar will join the Jacksonville quarterback room and will vie with Nick Mullens and Carter Bradley for one of two potential backup jobs behind starter Trevor Lawrence. As a seventh-year senior at Tennessee this past fall, Aguilar completed 67.3 percent of his passes for 3,565 yards, 24 pass touchdowns and 10 interceptions. The 24-year-old has a solid arm, good deep ball potential and a great frame, but he struggles with seeing the field. This weakness is especially evident when he's pressured, due to a lack of pocket elusiveness that led to eight fumbles in 2025 and 29 in three years at the FBS level. Aguilar also had surgery in January to remove a benign tumor on his throwing shoulder, adding to the worries already in place about his age as he enters the league.

The Broncos selected Murdock in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 257th overall.

Murdock (6-foot-2, 232 pounds) is an example of a player with a poor athleticism grade but heaps of football ability otherwise. His skill level as a linebacker is uncommon, because in his last two years at Buffalo he accumulated 298 tackles, including 30 for a loss and 7.0 sacks. Murdock also somehow punched out 17 fumbles in his last three seasons. Very few collegiate linebackers live in the backfield as often as Murdock did. The limitation with Murdock is his athleticism, which grades below average thanks to a 4.79-second pro day 40 and poor jumps (31.5-inch vertical, 114-inch broad jump). Murdock already proved he can play if his athleticism can hold up at a given level of competition, so if he turns out to be a steal for the Broncos it wouldn't be fair to call it a complete surprise.

The Broncos selected Bentley in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 256th overall.

Bentley's big numbers from the 2025 season were undermined by the fact that he did next to nothing in any of the prior seasons, and by the time Bentley started producing for Utah he already had a big age advantage over most of the competition, cheapening the value of that otherwise noteworthy receiving production (48 catches for 620 yards and eight touchdowns on 80 targets). Even with quality workout metrics at 6-foot-4, 252 pounds, Bentley will likely begin his NFL career as a practice squad type yet will turn 26 this winter, so he doesn't have much development time on his side.

The Seahawks selected Dansby in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 255th overall.

Not that it's unusual for late seventh-round picks, but Dansby was well off the NFL Draft radar after playing three seasons at San Jose State and one at Arizona, all of them unremarkable. At a listed 5-foot-11, 185 pounds, Dansby didn't participate in pre-draft athletic testing, so his skill set and tools grade both are question marks at best. Perhaps the Seahawks saw something in Dansby's special-teams upside.

The Colts selected Burks in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 254th overall.

No one would have thought anything of it if the Colts had taken Burks in the fourth round rather than the seventh, so this can only be seen as an ideal end-of-draft selection. Burks' lack of production at Purdue and Oklahoma generally indicates a limitation in his wide receiver skill set, but if the weak parts of his game ever improve, he has the athleticism to become quite useful. Small as he is at 5-foot-10, 180 pounds, Burks' athleticism is loud -- his 4.30-second 40-yard dash, 42.5-inch vertical jump and 131-inch broad jump are all well above the 90th percentile for wide receivers.

The Ravens selected Beerntsen in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 253rd overall.

Beerntsen spent six years at South Dakota State -- where he started 47 games -- before transferring to Northwestern for his final year of eligibility in 2025. He'll turn 26 years old in September, but he showed enough athleticism at 6-foot-4, 301 pounds to get a chance in the NFL. Beerntsen will serve as a reserve option if he makes the 53-man roster in Baltimore.

Philadelphia selected James-Newby in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 252nd overall.

James-Newby enjoyed a six-year college career that ended with New Mexico in 2025, when he was selected to the All-MWC First-Team after posting 52 total tackles, including 9.0 sacks, two forced fumbles and five pass defenses across 13 games. He's not the most powerful pass-rushing prospect in the draft, but James-Newby beat opposing blockers with his burst off the snap, and he'll need to become a more reliable tackler to see meaningful snaps at the NFL level. He'll compete with the likes of Jalyx Hunt, Jose Ramirez, Arnold Ebiketie and Joe Tryon-Shoyinka for rotational snaps at the edge rusher position behind Nolan Smith and the newly acquired Jonathan Greenard (shoulder).

The Eagles selected Bernard in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 251st overall.

Bernard (6-foot-4, 306 pounds) put together an impressive workout performance at the International Player Pathway Pro Day, highlighted by a 4.69 40-yard dash and a 39-inch vertical. Though he has not played organized football at the collegiate level, Philadelphia is intrigued enough by the potential of his rare combination of size and athleticism to invest draft capital into Bernard's development. While Bernard looks set to begin his career working at defensive tackle, he could also test his hand at edge rusher or along the O-line.

The Ravens selected Benny in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 250th overall.

Benny started for just one season at Michigan in 2025, compiling 35 tackles (three for loss) and 1.5 sacks over 13 games. He's slated to move into a defensive line spot in Baltimore's 3-4 scheme, likely vying for a depth role as a late seventh-round selection. Benny has some interesting traits, including above-average arm length (33 and 3/8 inches), but he has smaller hands (9.25 inches) and will need to fight for his spot on the 53-man roster.
