The landscape of Sammis Reyes could give a sudden change in the next few hours. The first Chilean player to compete in the NFL was left without a team for this season after arranging his departure from the Washington Commanders and, just when it seemed that the doors of the million-dollar American football league in the United States were closing on him, three teams began to sound him out to add him to their squad.
On Monday, the Indianapolis Colts They called him for a private training session at their facilities, the same process that he will carry out today with the Chicago Bears. And according to the information from North America, then he has arranged a meeting with the New York Giants.
After being left out of the Washington squad for this campaign, Sammis Reyes is a free player, but he did not generate the interest of any franchise. However, with the 2022 season in full swing, the injuries on the campuses are beginning to pile up and that opened up a possibility for him to sign, in principle, a 10-day contract that can later be extended for the whole year.
The Chilean had limited action in its historic 2021 season, being used primarily as a blocker on Washington special teams and very little in his natural role as tight end. It is still unknown in which of those roles they are analyzing him, but without a doubt that the chance to return to the NFL is an extraordinary possibility for his career.
The three teams tempting Sammis Reyes
Even better, The three franchises Sammis Reyes could join are among the most traditional and powerful in football.
Chicago Bears is one of the founding teams of the NFL, which although it does not win the superbowl Since 1985, it has a loyal fan base and decades of glorious history. This 2022 they have a record of od wins and two losses, in the midst of a process of renewing their squad with the young quarterback Justin Fields.
That stage is what the New York Giants are going through, the most popular team in the “Big Apple” (the other is the New York Jets) and that has had better results than expected despite having a team still in formation. Added value: they are division rivals with Washington, which would give the Chilean the option of taking direct “revenge” against his former teammates.
Greater expectations had the Indianapolis Colts, one of the disappointments of the current campaign with a record of 1-4. In any case, of the three he is the one with the best squad and could still change course and qualify to the playoffsconsidering that there are still 13 games left in the regular phase.
