Broncos released WR Phillip Dorsett.

13 May 2024

Dorsett joined the Broncos as a member of their practice squad last August and failed to record a catch in either of the two games he appeared in. Dorsett has caught just 27 passes for 367 yards and one touchdown since 2021 and has bounced around four different teams over that span. The 31-year-old speedster could catch on with another team ahead of training camp, but he won’t be expected to make much of an impact wherever he lands. In addition to Dorsett, the Broncos also released defensive t ...

Titans signed No. 7 overall pick OT JC Latham to a four-year contract.

13 May 2024

A true super-heavyweight LT prospect who checked in at 6’6/342 at the NFL Scouting Combine, Latham spent his freshman year at RG before making a permanent move to RT as a sophomore. Latham took to his new position quickly, improving his blocking efficiency rate from 96.4%-to-98.8% while allowing zero sacks and just one QB hit in 486 pass reps. His play elevated to All-American levels in 2023, with Latham leading Alabama with a superb 0.6% blown block rate on run plays while allowing three hits ...

Broncos signed No. 12 overall pick QB Bo Nix to a four-year, $18.613 million contract.

13 May 2024

It makes Nix the first first-round quarterback to sign. His deal includes a fifth-year team option for 2028. A pre-pandemic starter in 2019 for Auburn, 24-year-old Nix (6’2/214) is amongst the most experienced collegiate players of all time, which means he’s likely already at or near his ceiling. The good news is, he played near a Joe Burrow/LSU-type peak for the Ducks in 2023, posting a positively bonkers 45:3 TD:INT total in addition to rushing for six scores. Otherworldly efficient, Nix c ...

Saints signed OG Lucas Patrick, formerly of the Bears, to a one-year contract.

12 May 2024

Patrick is a seven-year veteran who has started in 54 of the 96 games he’s appeared in since entering the league as a UDFA in 2017. He spent the last two seasons with the Bears and made 15 starts in 2023. While he has ample experience at guard, Patrick has also played over 1,900 snaps at center, making him a versatile player who can be moved anywhere along the interior.

Steelers signed CB Anthony Averett, formerly of the Lions.

12 May 2024

Averett returns to the AFC North, where he spent the first four years of his career as a member of the Ravens. The veteran corner spent time with the Lions and 49ers last season but didn’t appear in a regular season game. His signing comes after a tryout with the Raiders during their rookie minicamp. He’ll presumably need to battle for a spot on the 53-man roster in camp.

Texans released RB Gerrid Doaks.

12 May 2024

Doaks was a seventh-round pick of the Dolphins back in 2021 and has yet to play in a regular season contest. Set to turn 26 before the start of the season, the former Cincinnati Bearcat could get a chance to compete for a spot on another 53-man roster later this offseason; he’d have little to no fantasy upside even if he were to make a roster.

Bears signed TE Tommy Sweeney.

12 May 2024

The 28-year-old former Bill missed all of 2023 after suffering a practice field “medical event” with the Giants. His age, limited production history, and missed 2023 will impact his 53-man roster odds, but he has signed at the right time of the offseason to at least give himself a shot.

ESPN’s Kevin Seifert reports it’s “fully expected” Sam Darnold will begin the Vikings’ offseason program as the No. 1 quarterback over first-round pick J.J. McCarthy.

12 May 2024

In other words, the Vikings are taking the traditional approach of making McCarthy “earn it.” This is a situation where it is not entirely outside the realm of possibility that veteran Darnold actually makes an early-season start or two if McCarthy isn’t ready, but the competition will undoubtedly be rigged in the rookie’s favor.

Commanders rookie DT Johnny Newton to set to undergo surgery for a Jones fracture in his foot.

12 May 2024

The No. 36 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft underwent surgery to repair a partial Jones fracture in his foot earlier this year and now needs the same surgery on the opposite foot. The surgery is scheduled for next week and head coach Dan Quinn declined to speculate on his return timeline following the procedure. The standard recovery time for a Jones fracture with surgical intervention is three to four months, which should place the second-round rookie in line to return to football activities ...

Former Chiefs and Dolphins WR Albert Wilson officially retired after seven seasons.

12 May 2024

The former Georgia State standout entered the league as an undrafted free agent with the Chiefs, playing four seasons in Kansas City before joining the Dolphins for three seasons. He spent the previous three seasons with the Vikings and Raiders but never saw the field for either franchise despite continually finding himself on the active roster. Wilson accumulated 2,499 yards and 12 touchdowns on 218 career receptions.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Patriots named Eliot Wolf Executive Vice President of Player Personnel.

11 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.

Bears first-round WR Rome Odunze is sitting out of rookie minicamp with hamstring tightness.

Panthers first-round WR Xavier Legette admits coaches told him during the pre-draft process he needed to improve his route running.

11 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 ...

Falcons signed S Dane Cruikshank.

11 May 2024

Cruikshank signed following a veteran tryout at rookie minicamp. A 29-year-old journeyman, Cruikshank probably won’t make the 53-man roster, though he could end up a vet stashed on the practice squad.
