  Giants | Mike Weber, Jordyn Peters signed    Wed Jul 21, 07:41 PM

Free-agent RB Mike Weber (Packers) and S Jordyn Peters (Jets) signed with the New York Giants Wednesday, July 21. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Weber could push for a roster spot as the third running back behind Saquon Barkley and Devontae Booker with Corey Clement and sixth round pick Gary Brightwell also in the mix. Weber was a seventh round pick of the Cowboys in 2019 and has a downhill running style with nimble footwork.

  Giants | NYG worked out three    Wed Jul 21, 05:38 PM

Free-agent RB Mike Weber (Packers), RB Tyler Ervin (Packers) and S Jordyn Peters (Jets) recently worked out for the New York Giants.

Footballguys view: The Giants might be updating their emergency running back list. We'll see if Saquon Barkley can avoid the PUP list to start camp. While it wouldn't preclude him from being ready for Week 1, it might necessitate the Giants signing another back as a camp body.

  Packers | Ten sign futures deals with Green Bay    Mon Jan 25, 05:17 PM

Free-agent LBs Tipa Galeai and De'Jon Harris, OG Zack Johnson, TE Isaac Nauta, DLs Willington Previlon and Anthony Rush, RBs Mike Weber and Dexter Williams, CB Stanford Samuels and P Ryan Winslow signed Reserve/Future contracts with the Green Bay Packers on Monday, Jan. 25.

Footballguys view: Weber and Williams are players to watch in super deep dynasty formats. Partly because of their skill but partly because the Packers running back room is going to look different in 2021. Both Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams are set to be unrestricted free agents this offseason.

  Chiefs | Kansas City signs nine to futures deals    Tue Feb 4, 06:21 PM

Free-agent QB Kyle Shurmur (Chiefs), WR Jody Fortson (Chiefs), TE Nick Keizer (Chiefs), LB Emmanuel Smith (Chiefs), DT Braxton Hoyett (Chiefs), RB Elijah McGuire (Chiefs), DT Devaroe Lawrence (Browns), CB Chris Lammons (Dolphins) and RB Mike Weber (Chiefs) signed Reserve/Future contracts with the Kansas City Chiefs Tuesday, Feb. 4. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: We'll keep an eye on Weber and McGuire in super deep dynasty formats. Weber was a seventh-round pick out of Ohio State for the Dallas Cowboys in the 2019 NFL draft. A knee injury suffered in May slowed him down and he didn't make the 53-man roster out of training camp. McGuire is a fine all-purpose runner who can shine as a runner or receiver out of the backfield. He was a sixth-round pick for the Jets when he came out of Louisiana in 2017.

Footballguys view: Weber was a seventh-round pick out of Ohio State in the 2019 NFL draft for the Cowboys. He was outplayed in the preseason by Tony Pollard and was waived. Weber is a player we will monitor but only in crazy deep dynasty formats.

  Cowboys | Mike Weber resumes practicing    Thu May 23, 02:25 PM

Dallas Cowboys RB Mike Weber (knee) returned to practice Wednesday, May 22, after hurting his knee at rookie minicamp earlier this month, taking part in both individual and team drills this week.

Footballguys view: Weber was a seventh-round pick out of Ohio State in the 2019 NFL draft. The Cowboys are going to see if Weber can earn a spot on the depth chart behind fellow Buckeye Ezekiel Elliott. Weber is your classic banger at 5'11" 211 pounds. He's a determined runner with little nuance to his game. Weber is going to hard charge to and through the line but has a hard time creating his own space with moves. He can be used as a relief-valve receiver out of the backfield but needs to improve his pass-protection ability.

  Cowboys | No surgery for Mike Weber    Wed May 15, 02:15 PM

Dallas Cowboys RB Mike Weber (knee) will not undergo knee surgery at this point. The team hopes rest and rehab will help Weber recover but is not ruling out surgery later this offseason.

Footballguys view: The rookie from Ohio State went down in practice over the weekend. The team will monitor his recovery and hope that rest can heal him properly. Weber is an instinctive runner who doesn't stand out with speed or power. When healthy, we'll see the Cowboys 2019 seventh-round pick compete with guys like Tony Pollard and Darius Jackson to establish the pecking order behind starter Ezekiel Elliott.

  Cowboys | Mike Weber to undergo MRI    Sat May 11, 04:15 PM

Dallas Cowboys RB Mike Weber (knee) did not participate in the afternoon practice Saturday, May 11, because of a knee injury and is scheduled to undergo an MRI to determine the severity of the injury.

Footballguys view: Weber could be the first injury casualty of the rookie class. He had a chance to be the primary backup to fellow Buckeye Ezekiel Elliott. Fourth-round Tony Pollard has WR/RB versatility, but he could get more work at running back if Weber's injury is serious, in addition to the Cowboys becoming running back buyers in the third wave of free agency.

  Cowboys | Dallas signs seven draft picks    Fri May 10, 05:27 PM

Dallas Cowboys second-round draft choice DT Trysten Hill, fourth-round draft choice RB Tony Pollard, fifth-round draft choice DE Joe Jackson, fifth-round draft choice CB Michael Jackson, sixth-round draft choice S Donovan Wilson, seventh-round draft choice RB Mike Weber and seventh-round draft choice DE Jalen Jelks signed four-year contracts with the Cowboys Friday, May 10. Financial terms were not disclosed.

Footballguys view: Pollard is a utility offensive weapon who can play receiver and running back, while Weber is more of a downhill runner who might be the primary backup to Ezekiel Elliott. We'll watch how this sorts out to have our Elliott injury upside list in order.

Ohio State RB Mike Weber announced his intention to enter the upcoming NFL Draft on Sunday, Dec. 16, following the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, 2019.

Footballguys view: Measuring in at 5'10" 214 pounds, Weber has shown a good all-purpose skill set during his time with the Buckeyes. The redshirt junior rushed for over 1,000 yards back in 2016 and has split carries with J.K. Dobbins over the last two seasons. He has 53 catches over the last three seasons and Weber has scored 25 touchdowns (24 rushing, 1 receiving) during that time.
