The 33-year-old wide receiver requested a trade and will not
report to training camp after skipping offseason workouts and
minicamp, NFL Network reported Thursday.
For the second consecutive year, the NFL's annual Supplemental Draft
came and went without a single player getting selected.
With the draft concluded, each player is now considered a free agent
and can sign with any team.
The NFL hired former Minnesota Vikings and Baltimore Ravens center
Matt Birk as director of football development on Thursday.
Birk retired after the Ravens won Super Bowl XLVII. He played for
the Minnesota Vikings and the Ravens from 1998 to 2012. For the past
year, Birk worked as an NFL-NFLPA appeals officer.
