2025 offseason roster profile: TE Bernhard Seikovits
We will look at their 2024 season, their contract status and what their status is for the coming offseason and 2025 season.
Next up is tight end Bernhard Seikovits.
2024 Bernhard Seikovits stats, season
Seikovits, who originally joined the Cardinals in 2021 as part of the league's International Pathways Program out of Austria, has spent the last four seasons exclusively on the practice squad, taking advantage of the exemption, giving the Cardinals a 17-player practice squad instead of 16.
For the first three years, if he was initially placed on the practice squad with that exemption, he was ineligible to be elevated to the active roster.
Last year, that rule was taken away, but he never was. He earned the honor of being the final Pat Tillman practice player of the week of the season.
2025 contract status
Seikovits signed a futures deal for 2025 after the season's conclusion in January. He will make $840,000 in salary if he makes the team.
Outlook for 2025
Unless he takes big strides, he seems destined to another season on the practice squad. The coaches really like him. He would like to be able to someday play on Sundays. We will at least get to see him in training camp and the preseason.

Steelers' Darnell Washington defeats T.J. Watt, three other defenders in backs-on-backers
Backs-on-backers, an iconic Steelers training camp tradition where the pass-blocking skills of running backs and tight ends are put to the test — and Darnell Washington just passed with flying colors. At Friday Night Lights Practice, there was arguably no greater performance during the backs-on-backers drill than Washington, who reportedly defeated Jack Sawyer, DeMarvin Leal, Alex Highsmith, and the NFL's highest-paid non-quarterback, T.J. Watt. Coming out of college, Washington was billed as the best pass-blocking tight end of the 2023 NFL Draft class — and the Steelers didn't think twice when he dropped all the way to the third round. Many predicted a Year 3 breakout for the huge Steelers tight end — but the acquisition of Pro Bowl TE Jonnu Smith put a damper on expectations. Clearly, Washington is ready for whatever challenges lie ahead — set out to prove that Smith and Pat Freiermuth aren't the only tight ends opposing defenses should worry about this season.

Keenan Allen visiting with Chargers as rumors of possible reunion swirl
It looks like Keenan Allen and the Chargers could be headed toward a reunion. Allen, 33, will be visiting his former home on Friday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. There is also 'mutual interest' between Los Angeles and the six-time Pro Bowler, per Pelissero. Allen, who was drafted by the Chargers in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft, spent his first 11 seasons with the club before being dealt to the Bears ahead of last season. During his tenure with the Chargers, Allen racked up 904 receptions and 59 touchdowns with a total of 10,530 receiving yards. The California alum also won the Comeback Player of the Year award for the 2017 season after missing the majority of the previous season with a torn ACL. Allen is looking to come back from a down season with the Bears, where the receiver put up just 744 receiving yards on 70 receptions, his lowest for his entire career in a full season. The rumors between the potential homecoming accelerated following the abrupt retirement of Chargers receiver Mike Williams in July. Williams — who was just 30 years old when he announced his retirement — spent his first seven seasons with the Chargers before signing a one-year contract with the Jets before the 2024 season. The Clemson alum's tenure with the Jets was unimpressive, putting up just 166 receiving yards in nine games before being dealt to the Steelers midway through last season. Williams previously signed with the Chargers in March, where he was then put on the team's Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list ahead of training camp. Following the news of Williams' retirement, Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert was supportive of the wideout, saying that he wanted to 'be there for him.' 'I want what's best for Mike. He's always been there for us and we're going to be there for him,' Herbert told reporters then. 'It's obviously a tough situation, I've got so much respect for him as a teammate, as a friend, as a receiver, as a player and the man that he is. 'We're going to be there for him however we can help,' Herbert added. 'Football at the end of the day is a game and there's more to life than just football. I'm just hoping for the best for him.'
