Bowers, who has also visited with the Jets and Bears, is locked in as a top-15 pick, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Though he didn’t do any pre-draft testing, his college production profile and on-field speed and agility have intrigued a number of teams with Day One picks. It would be something of a surprise if Jim Harbaugh’s Chargers took the standout tight end with the fifth pick in the draft. The team seems to be hyper focused on building a dominant defense and a tough-nosed, run-he ...17 April 2024
Giants coaches and front office officials have done their due diligence on this year’s crop of quarterbacks with Daniel Jones coming off a torn ACL and having missed significant time with a troublesome neck injury. The game-managing Nix has seen his draft stock rise in recent weeks and could land with a QB-needy team in the first round. The Giants likely won’t use their sixth overall pick on Nix, but could trade down and take him late in the first round. That would set up Nix for a training ...17 April 2024
ESPN reporters, including Jeremy Fowler, confirmed what Falcons owner Arthur Blank had said in February after the team went with Raheem Morris over Belichick, the second winningest coach in NFL history.17 April 2024
Watson, who played in six games in 2023, is coming back from a fractured shoulder and said he would be ready for Week 1. “He’s doing all the things he’s supposed to be doing when it comes to rehab” said Stefanski. “When he get to those points and OTAs and minicamp, we will go with what’s suggested by the medical team.” There’s still plenty of time to go before Week 1 so much of this will depend on how Watson’s shoulder continues to respond to treatment, but both Stefanski and t ...

Freeman has bounced around the league in his six seasons, most recently spending 2023 with the Rams. He rushed 77 times for 319 yards and two touchdowns in a backup capacity, getting his most opportunities in Kyren Williams’ absence. The veteran now joins a sparse Cowboys backfield that currently has Rico Dowdle and Deuce Vaughn as its top two running backs. Freeman’s signing should not take the Cowboys out of the running to add another back in this year’s draft.17 April 2024
Kelly is entering the last year of his contract. He has been with the Colts since being drafted in 2016 and has the desire to stay, saying “it’s my ninth year here, it’s the last year of my contract, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t want another one.” The 30-year-old is a four-time Pro Bowler, starting all 111 career games. The Colts have re-signed and extended several of their players this off-season, and Kelly could be next in line.16 April 2024
Taylor returns to the 49ers for the first time since 2020. The past three seasons he spent time as a reserve for the Bears and Bengals. The 29-year old receiver had his best season in 2017 as a rookie (43-430-2) with the 49ers who originally drafted him. He’ll now look to stick in San Fransisco once again.16 April 2024
Watson is coming back from a fractured shoulder and said himself that he would be ready for Week 1. “He’s doing all the things he’s supposed to be doing when it comes to rehab” said Stefanski. “When he get to those points and OTAs and minicamp, we will go with what’s suggested by the medical team.” Obviously, there’s still plenty of time to go before Week 1 so much of this will depend on how Watson’s shoulder continues to respond to treatment, but both Stefanski and the Browns ...16 April 2024
Chubb suffered a pretty brutal knee injury in Week 2 of the 2023 season and has now undergone two major knee surgeries during his career. At 28 years old, there is no guarantee he will come back to the same level we’ve come to know from him. “I can promise you he’s working very hard,” said Stefanski. “I don’t know that we’ll go past today and this week. At least that’s the way I’m looking at it...When he’s ready, he’ll be ready.”16 April 2024
Waddle has had a nice start to his career racking up at least 70 receptions and 1,000 yards in each of his first three seasons. It’s no surprise the Dolphins’ GM Chris Grier will use the option on him and Jaelan Phillips who were both drafted in 2021. Waddle will remain a key cog in the Dolphins’ offensive machine, while being a better-than-average fantasy option.16 April 2024
The rugby superstar, who signed a three-year deal with the Chiefs in March, could be used at multiple positions in the KC offense, but will begin in the backfield. ESPN’s Adam Tiecher suggested the Chiefs “will look at Rees-Zammit at running back and perhaps wide receiver” and as a possible kick returner. That Rees-Zammit signed a three-year deal with guaranteed money means he’ll likely make the roster in 2024 and could see regular playing time. Reid conceded going from pro rugby to the ...16 April 2024
Decker said he’s been working out since the middle of February following the procedure, adding that he’s dealt with foot and ankle issues since his college days at Ohio State. Decker said he has started contract extension talks with the Lions. Pro Football Focus graded Decker as last year’s 15th best pass-blocking offensive lineman; he allowed nine QB hits all season. The Detroit offensive line was rated by PFF as the league’s 12th best pass blocking unit.16 April 2024
Sutton has just $2 million guaranteed on his current deal with Denver after catching ten touchdowns on 59 receptions in 2023. Sutton, headed into his age-29 season, profiles as the team’s No. 1 wideout after the Broncos dealt Jerry Jeudy to the Browns this offseason. Sutton could be seeking a short-term deal with more guaranteed money ahead of the 2024 season.16 April 2024
Stroud said Tuesday that he was “very excited” when he heard Houston had acquired the disgruntled Diggs from the Bills. “He adds a ton of value to that room, a lot of wisdom that he carries that will spread to the other guys,” Stroud said, adding Diggs has reached out to Texans players over the past week. The Texans removed the final three years of Diggs’ contract, making his current contract a one-year deal. Headed into his age-31 season, coming off a down 2023 campaign, Diggs will co ...16 April 2024
Miami has just two picks inside the top 150 in the upcoming draft, and Wolfe suggests the team could take an offensive lineman to protect Tua Tagovailoa. Wolfe said the Dolphins could target Oklahoma OT Tyler Guyton, who met with the team on Monday. Guyton played right tackle at Oklahoma, protecting the blindside of left-handed QB Dillon Gabriel. He should have positional flexibility in the NFL. It would be a somewhat curious use of draft capital; no quarterback in 2023 faced a lower pressure ra ...16 April 2024
Burrow suffered a season-ending wrist injury in Week 11 last season and needed to undergo surgery to get it corrected. In the 10 games he appeared in, Burrow threw for 2,309-15-6 and completed 66.9 percent of his passes. He said his recovery “hasn’t really affected” his offseason training and said he’s “in a great spot body-wise.” We’d expect Burrow to be ready to go come training camp barring any setbacks.15 April 2024
Rapoport adds that the quarterback will attend a dinner with “brass and coaches” from New England tonight before his official visit tomorrow. It’s no secret the organization is in dire need of a quarterback after moving on from failed former first-round draft pick Mac Jones this offseason, with New England seemingly leaving no stone unturned in a relatively deep draft class at the position. Penix appears to be climbing up draft boards around the league after demonstrating “elite arm tale ...15 April 2024
The Giants lack depth in the secondary and it currently appears as if the three-year veteran will get a shot at a starting perimeter cornerback role this season. McCloud has appeared in 33 games for New York, 11 of which have been starts, amassing 71 tackles and nine pass defenses during that time.15 April 2024
Wilson was an exclusive rights free agent, meaning he was never at real risk of going anywhere else unless the Packers opted not to bring him back. Wilson has rushed 14 times for 85 scoreless yards in his career and will need to battle to make the 53-man roster this offseason. In additional to Wilson, the Packers also signed punter Daniel Whelan to his ERFA contract.15 April 2024
Reynolds was an exclusive rights free agent this offseason and will now return to battle for a spot on the team’s 53-man roster. The former UDFA has stuck around on the Lions for the last three seasons after previous stops in Washington and Jacksonville and has totaled 119-511-1 on the ground while adding another 22 catches for 218 yards since 2021. His contributions on special teams have been valuable in his efforts to make the team each of the last three seasons and will likely play a role i ...
