Hines, 25, signed with the Cowboys as an undrafted free agent out of Texas A&M following the 2021 NFL Draft. He was waived with an injury designation during camp, though, and later cut with a settlement.
From there, Washington signed Hines to their practice squad in October 2021 but was cut a month later. Hines then joined the Rams’ practice squad in 2021 and was activated briefly before being released in August 2022.
The Jets signed him to a contract last month but was among their final roster cuts coming out of the preseason.
He has yet to appear in an NFL game.
During his three-year college career, Hines recorded 106 total tackles, 16.5 tackles for loss, three sacks, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery in 23 games.
