Jarryd Hayne’s future in the NFL will be announced today, with the expectation that he will announce he has gained an NFL futures contract, understood to be with the Detroit Lions.
Former league star Hayne has scheduled a media conference in Sydney for 2:00pm (AEDT) on Tuesday, where it’s expected he’ll confirm his contract and outline his plans to play in the NFL.
Futures contracts are not a spot on the a roster – they offer no guarantees and are seen as a way for fringe players not on active rosters to join a team’s 53-man roster.
Rumours have surrounded Hayne’s movements, with offers from multiple teams believed to have been on the table from Detroit, the San Francisco 49ers, and Seattle Seahawks, with the Lions expecting to be his choice.
Today a dream becomes a reality. With God anything is POSSIBLE.
