Agent says Dae'Quan Wright in football purgatory as NFL decides what's next after LSU fails to sign

What's next for the former Ole Miss player who left the Cleveland Browns to try and play at LSU this season LSU's decision not to add former NFL players Dae'Quan Wright and XZavian Harris to the team this week leaves both players searching for their next move in their quest to play professional football this season. Louisiana plaintiffs attorney Ryan Downton told Yahoo Sports on Tuesday that both "players are reviewing legal options" before moving forward after the culmination of a series of injunctions, state and federal lawsuits and SEC expulsion threats ultimately led to Lane Kiffin and LSU backing down from adding the athletes to the team's 105-man roster. Legal options could potentially include filing financial grievances since neither will make money this season for the Tigers. Drew Rosenhaus, Wright's agent, told ESPN that his client is waiting to hear from the NFL. "When he left the Browns, there was no doubt he'd be able to play at LSU," Rosenhaus said Wednesday on The Pat McAfee Show. "We were very careful during the interim period where LSU was getting heat from the SEC not to sign with LSU at that point. We did not want to lose his eligibility to go back to the NFL. He did not sign with LSU while all this stuff was up in the air, but the league is still trying to decide if they're going to let him try out or join a team.
