The Detroit Lions officially brought in five free agents for tryouts on Wednesday.
The full list includes:
- QB C.J. Beathard
- WR Malik Cunningham
- WR Jerjuan Newton
- QB Nathan Peterman
- WR Kendric Pryor
Peterman worked out for the Jets a few weeks ago, but wasn’t signed to a contract.
Peterman, 31, is a former fifth-round pick of the Bills back in 2017. The Bills made the decision to move on from Peterman in November of 2018 and he eventually signed on to the Raiders practice squad.
The Raiders brought Peterman back on a futures contract for 2019. However, he was placed on injured reserve coming out of the preseason. Peterman returned to the Raiders in 2020 on an original-round restricted tender but later agreed to a pay cut.
Peterman returned to Las Vegas on a one-year deal in 2021 but was released late in the season and bounced on and off the practice squad. The Bears signed him in 2022 and promoted him to the active roster in November.
Chicago re-signed him, once again, last March and he bounced on and off the roster a few times last season. New Orleans signed him back in March of 2024 but opted to release him in August. He had a stint with the Raiders last season before joining the Falcons’ practice squad.
In 2022, Peterman appeared in three games for the Bears and completed 56 percent of his passes for 139 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. He also recorded two rushing attempts for seven yards (3.5 YPC).
