Papers: Liverpool weighing up summer swoop for Barcola
Liverpool is considering a summer transfer for Bradley Barcola, with PSG also interested.
Pass rusher Mason Reiger is favored to make the Miami Dolphins' 53-man roster after being signed as an undrafted free agent. The Dolphins' roster overhaul and need for edge-defender help enhance his chances.
In addition to the Miami Dolphins drafting 13 players last week, they signed several undrafted free agents, and Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox believes that pass rusher Mason Reiger has the best chance at making their initial 53-man roster. He was also predicted to make the cut in Dolphins Wire's initial 53-man projection.
"The Miami Dolphins made a whopping 13 selections over draft weekend, which would normally make it difficult for any undrafted free agent to stick," Knox wrote. "However, Miami is in the middle of a complete roster overhaul, so a player like Wisconsin's Mason Reiger should get a legitimate shot afterĀ signing.
The Dolphins needed edge-defender help in a big way after trading Jaelan Phillips and cutting Bradley Chubb. While they signed the likes of Josh Uche and David Ojabo before using a fourth-round pick in Trey Moore, they might find room for Reiger in the rotation."
The outside linebacker/edge from Wisconsin didnāt hear his name during the 2026 NFL draft but was an immediate signing in the rookie free agent market by the Dolphins. Miami has a very thin past rusher group, and Reiger has a great opportunity to sneak his way onto the roster.
Having a solid combination of height and athletic ability, Reiger ranked third amongst linebackers in athleticism score at the 2026 NFL scouting combine. Coincidentally, he shares a very similar size and athletic profile to former badger and ex-Dolphins fan favorite Andrew Van Ginkel, who signed with the in 2024 and became a Pro Bowl player.
Mason Reiger is an undrafted free agent pass rusher from Wisconsin, predicted to make the Miami Dolphins' roster due to the team's need for edge-defender help.
The Dolphins drafted 13 players and underwent a complete roster overhaul, including trading Jaelan Phillips and cutting Bradley Chubb.
Reiger's signing provides depth to a thin pass rusher group, giving him a legitimate shot to contribute to the Dolphins' defense.
While it's typically challenging for undrafted free agents to make the roster, the Dolphins' current roster changes increase the likelihood for players like Reiger.

Van Ginkel was the fourth-ranked linebacker in athleticism score during his scouting process in 2019. The two also compare in their style of play with their high motor style, passion for the game and determination in getting to the quarterback.
Both standing at 6-foot-4, they also have similar measurables. Reiger has a Relative Athletic Score of 9.53 while Van Ginkelās was 9.26. Reigerās vertical leap was 40 inches, and Van Ginkel was 38 inches. Van Ginkel was a bit faster with a 4.50-second 40-yard dash, while Reiger ran a 4.78. In terms of arm length, Reigerās is 32.6, and Van Ginkelās is 32.5.
Continuing the comparison, each transferred to Wisconsin. Reiger started out at Louisville for three seasons and finished there with eight sacks and 16.5 tackles for loss. In his lone season with the Badgers, Reiger had five sacks along with six tackles for loss and a pass defensed in 2025.
Also, like Van Ginkel, Reiger enters the league as a situational pass-rusher with high upside and could develop into a very solid pro, as he has a great chance at cracking the Dolphins roster. Van Ginkel was a rookie in a previous ārebuildingā season in 2019 as a fifth-round pick, and Reiger was projected as a Day-3 player, but curiously was not selected. Miami is in another clear rebuild, where several rookies can be thrown into the mix immediately, as well as multiple undrafted free agents having a chance to make the team over veterans.
The Dolphins could have a steal another diamond in the rough player, and Reigerās timing and destination could not be better for a rookie free agent looking to make his mark during training camp in the summer.
