Hubbard started nine games for the Titans in 2023 before suffering a season-ending triceps injury. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler said Hubbard, 33, entering his tenth NFL season, is now healthy and could function as a “viable swing option” for the elite San Francisco offensive line, graded by PFF as last year’s best run blocking unit.14 May 2024
It will be the Jets’ second straight Monday night season opener. Last year’s Week 1 was a waking nightmare for New York as Aaron Rodgers ruptured his Achilles four snaps into the game and missed the rest of the season despite constant talk of an early return from injury. Rodgers the the Jets will take on a stingy Niners defense graded by PFF as 2023’s third best pass rushing unit and second best coverage unit. It will be a tough test for Rodgers, 40, and the Jets offense to start 2024. The ...14 May 2024
Valdes-Scantling, 29, who averaged 3.5 targets per game over 33 regular season games with the Chiefs over the past two seasons, will likely function as Josh Allen’s primary downfield pass catcher in the run-first Buffalo offense. MVS will once again occupy a boom-bust role in the Bills offense, catching passes from one of the game’s strongest-armed quarterbacks while Curtis Samuel and Dalton Kincaid eat up short-area targets.

The Bengals posted a video of Hendrickson participating in drills on Monday. The veteran pass rusher, who totaled 17.5 sacks last season, is hoping for a long-term extension from the Bengals or a trade to a team that is willing to give him said deal. In three seasons with the Bengals, Hendrickson has totaled 39.5 sacks and has been voted to the Pro Bowl in each of those three seasons. Hendrickson, 29, signed a one-year extension last offseason to remain with the team through 2025 but is likely l ...14 May 2024
The two sides agreed to terms on Monday although the terms of the contract have not yet been made public. The eight-year veteran came into the league with the Seahawks in 2016, spending time with the Steelers, Broncos, Saints, Giants, and Chargers since departing Seattle. Vannett carries sparse fantasy value even though the Titans have little in the way of depth behind presumed starter Chigoziem Okonkwo.14 May 2024
Valdes-Scantling previously visited with the Chargers, ultimately leaving without a contract, and found himself in Buffalo Monday to visit with the Bills. Josh Allen and the Bills found themselves without a vertical threat following the departure of Gabe Davis, something that likely prompted the visit with the team following the NFL Draft. Even so, Valdes-Scantling failed to fully capitalize on his opportunity in Kansas City and would likely generate more steam than is worth in fantasy circles s ...14 May 2024
The Falcons also signed Charlie Woerner earlier in the offseason, another former 49ers tight end. Both should serve as primary blockers behind and alongside the electric Kyle Pitts, who should have the best opportunity of his professional career for a true breakout season.14 May 2024
“I feel like the coaches kind of thought the same thing, as well,” Legette said of what was a popular scouting observation. “So I feel like that was important. I put emphasis on making that happen and being able to show them that I could do that through the process.” Legette also admitted some have nitpicked his ability to get in and out of his breaks, but he believes it’s because of his bigger size. “A lot of folks say a lot of bigger guys can’t get in and out of their breaks. But ...14 May 2024
We obviously aren’t concerned about “tightness” in May, but it is something to file away in case the issue lingers into mandatory minicamp in June. Early-offseason soft-tissue issues have an alarming propensity to stick around for young players. Hopefully this is the last we hear of it.14 May 2024
Wolf moves from his previous position as director of scouting to serve as executive vice president of player personnel, a position that now gives him control of the personnel department, the salary cap, and the 53-man roster in New England. This was thought to be the direction the franchise would go, with the announcement of the signing now making it official. The fancy title effectively makes Wolf the new General Manager for a team undergoing vast changes throughout its organization.13 May 2024
Dickerson has appeared in 36 games during his five-year NFL career. The Chiefs released Dickerson last August to make room for waiver claims but he ultimately re-signed with the team, appearing in 12 contests with the team. We could see a similar outcome unfold this time around, although nothing is certain this early in the league year. Kansas City re-signed LB Cole Christiansen in a corresponding move.13 May 2024
Perhaps bigger than the game itself is who will be calling the game, as this is set to be Tom Brady’s broadcasting debut. The future Hall of Famer, who retired at the end of the 2022 season, signed a 10-year, $375 million deal with FOX in May 2022 to become their next in-game analyst whenever he was ready to do so. He’ll be tasked with calling a game between a Cowboys team led by Dak Prescott in a potential contract year, as they take on the Browns, who hope 2024 is finally the year the trad ...13 May 2024
Dorsett was released by the Broncos late last week but is now back with the team after they waived two rookie UDFAs. Dorsett, 31, will presumably get a chance to earn a spot on the 53-man roster in training camp but hasn’t done much in the league over the last several years. He appeared in just two games last season but didn’t record a catch and has caught just 27 passes since 2021.13 May 2024

After Javonte Williams struggled in his first year post-ACL surgery, it isn’t surprising to hear that the Broncos could be more open to how they distribute backfield touches in 2023. While Williams struggled, rookie UDFA Jaleel McLaughlin rushed for 76-410-1 while adding another 31-160-2, looking like the far more efficient and explosive back. Payton was far from committed to a specific running back walking into an RB1 role when asked about a potential camp competition, and said, “Who knows ...13 May 2024
According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, Fashanu’s four-year deal is worth just north of $20.5 million in guaranteed money. The No. 11 pick could play behind veterans Tyron Smith and Morgan Moses early in his career, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see the rookie tackle get work on both sides of the ball at some point in the season. Fashanu earned a PFF pass-blocking grade of 88.4 in his final season at Penn State and didn’t allow a sack on 733 pass-block attempts.
