Feb. 28 (UPI) -- Rashad Jennings was cut on Feb. 13 after a three-year tenure with the New York Giants.

But his newest venture still has him dancing, just not in an end zone.

Jennings will join Simone Biles, Mr. T and Chris Kattan on ABC's Dancing with the Stars, according to reports.

The 31-year-old running back is currently a free agent. He had 2,095 yards and 10 touchdowns in his Giants career. Jennings was due $2.48 million in the final season of his four-year pact, before getting cut.

ABC plans to announce its full cast on March 1 on Good Morning America. Heather Morris, Nick Viall, Erkia Jayne, Nancy Kerrigan, Normani Kordei, and others are rumored to be the other contestants on the show, according to E! News.

Dancing with the Stars airs on March 20. Biles' Olympic teammate Laurie Hernandez won the Mirror Ball last season. The show is in its 24th season.
