The Lions cut linebacker and NFLPA president Jalen Reeves-Maybin in March. He has since not landed with another team.
He received a recent opportunity with the 49ers, along with four other linebackers.

The others who received workouts were Kam Arnold, Stone Blanton, Ben Niemann, and Chandler Wooten.
Reeves-Maybin was not signed. His lingering unemployment of Reeves-Maybin could become a problem in March 2026, when it’s time to elect a new union president.
