- DL Eric Cotton
- T Gerhard de Beer
- G Anthony Coyle
- FB Malcolm Johnson

Futures deals are essentially camp invites that will give players the opportunity to compete for roster spots during offseason workouts and training camp.
de Beer, 24, wound up signing on with the Bills as an undrafted free agent out of Arizona back in May. He agreed to a three-year, $1.71 million contract but was waived coming out of the preseason.
The Bills re-signed de Beer to their practice squad but released him soon after. He caught on with the Packers in November.
Redding, 23, originally signed on the Lions as an undrafted free agent out of Bowling Green back May. He was waived coming out of the preseason and later had a brief stint with the Redskins.
The Packers signed Redding to their practice squad in November.
During his college career at Bowling Green, Redding caught 94 passes for 1,328 yards receiving and 14 touchdowns over the course of four seasons and 38 games.
