The bottom of an NFL roster during training camp and early preseason is a constant churn. Players will be waived and signed and sometimes it's the same player and the same team. For two former Badgers, they are living that brutal life right now: Quintez Cephus and Tanner Mordecai.
Cephus has recently signed a contract with the Houston Texans after being waived by the San Francisco 49ers, who also recently signed him. The timeline for Cephus from April 18, 2024 (when the NFL reinstated him after a suspension due to violating the league's policy on gambling) to the present is wild.
