Walker, 24, wound up signing on with the Colts as an undrafted free agent out of Temple back in May of 2017. He was waived coming out of the preseason but later added to the team’s practice squad.

Indianapolis brought Walker back on a futures contract each of the past two years, but once again released him at the start of the regular season. He’s been on and off of their practice squad the past two years.

During his college career at Temple, Walker threw for 10,668 yards while completing 56.9 percent of his passes to go along with 74 touchdowns and 44 interceptions over the course of four seasons and 49 games. He also rushed for 771 yards and nine touchdowns.

President, 26, wound up signing a three-year, $1.66 million contract with the Texans as an undrafted free agent out of Illinois back in 2017. He was on and off of the Texans’ roster before eventually being waived and later claimed by the Titans last year.

President end up on Tennessee’s injured reserve list before eventually being waived with a settlement. The Titans brought him back on a futures contract only to cut him loose last month. 

The Texans signed President to a contract soon after only to waive him coming out of the preseason.
