9News’ Mike Klis reports free agent QB Desmond Ridder will get a veteran tryout at the Broncos’ rookie minicamp.

07 May 2025

Ridder is a former third-round pick of the Falcons in 2022 and started 13 games for them in 2023. Atlanta moved on from Ridder after his 12-touchdown, 12-interception season; he joined the Raiders to play six games and start one in 2024. The 25-year-old is searching for backup jobs around the NFL after throwing for 5.4 yards per attempt and earning a 45.7 PFF grade last season, good for No. 69 out of 75 quarterbacks. The Broncos will bring him into rookie minicamp on a tryout basis, where Ridder ...

Bengals DT B.J. Hill was seen in a protective boot at Tuesday’s voluntary workout.

06 May 2025

Hill was seen in a protective walking boot for his left foot at the Bengals’ voluntary workout session on Tuesday. It seems to be a new injury for the veteran, though it is not yet clear what the injury is. The Bengals just signed Hill to a three-year, $33 million contract in the offseason and will be hoping one of the investments into their defense gets healthy for the start of the regular season.

The Athletic’s Saad Yousuf reports Brian Schottenheimer was “non-commital” on whether the Cowboys would have a lead back or take a committee approach.

06 May 2025

“Schottenheimer wants to see how things unfold during offseason workouts and training camp,” Yousuf continues. It certainly seems to be a situation where Jaydon Blue could carve out a role in a hurry. “If Blue proves himself, he’ll have the chance to carve out a significant role,” Yousuf writes. Certainly nothing we saw from Javonte Williams or Miles Sanders in recent years would lead us to believe that they’ll be blocking Blue if he shows out in training camp.

Falcons offensive coordinator Zac Robinson said he’s “expecting Kyle [Pitts] to take a big jump.”

06 May 2025

“Year 2 of the system. Year 2 of understanding what we’re trying to do offensively. All those things that come with it, so expecting a lot of good things from Kyle,” Robinson continued, presumably while trying to sell the people who asked him this question a bridge. The good news for those who would want to buy in on Pitts is, like the Spanish Inquisition, nobody is expecting a Pitts breakout year in his fifth season. He’s now a freeroll. But it’s hard to believe he’ll do any better ...

Chiefs signed seventh-round pick Brashard Smith to a four-year contract.

06 May 2025

The seventh-rounder figures to be in the passing downs mix after the Chiefs let Samaje Perine walk this offseason. Isiah Pacheco should be the No. 1 back in the room on third downs, but Smith might be the primary competition with Kareem Hunt appearing mostly on run-down snaps last year and Elijah Mitchell having a strong tendency to not be on the field on passing downs in San Francisco. Smith has some intrigue in an Andy Reid offense but will likely have a low floor in 2025 as he attempts to est ...

Bengals restructured S Geno Stone’s contract.

06 May 2025

They’ll save $1.58 million against the salary cap after getting a pay cut from their starting safety. After two stellar years in Baltimore, Stone declined precipitously in 2024. His PFF coverage grade dropped from 85.3 in 2023 to 53.7 last year. He’ll be looking for a bounceback season under new defensive coordinator Al Golden in 2025.

The Athletic’s Dan Duggan believes that Eric Gray’s “fate is likely sealed” after the Giants selected Cam Skattebo in the fourth round of the draft.

06 May 2025

The Giants only have three running backs active on game days and figure to have Tyrone Tracy, Devin Singletary, and Skattebo active ahead of Gray assuming everyone makes it out of camp healthy. Gray had 14 carries for 31 yards last year, playing more than 10 snaps just three times in 17 games. He’s also fumbled six times in just 47 NFL touches. He’s classified as a “loser” from a winners and losers standpoint in this piece by Duggan and doesn’t need to be held in dynasty leagues.

Bills WR Elijah Moore says Josh Allen will put him in the “best position” of his career.

06 May 2025

“For me, it’s more like my whole career, I haven’t really had too many great opportunities with a stable quarterback the entire season,” said Moore on Monday. The four-year veteran wide receiver signed a one-year contract with the Bills on May 1. “Being blessed with the opportunity to, God willing, have 17 for the entire season with the MVP at that, a top-tier caliber player, top-tier caliber team, top-tier caliber coaches, putting you in position -- I feel like it would just be the be ...

ESPN’s Field Yates reports Browns WR Diontae Johnson’s contract has no guaranteed money.

06 May 2025

Johnson’s deal with Cleveland is the veteran minimum of $1.17 million for 2025. Johnson, 28, has played or talked his way off of several teams over the past two years, including the Panthers, Ravens, and Texans. A consistent target commander in the short areas of the field, Johnson has amassed 424 catches for 4,738 yards and 28 touchdowns in his six-year NFL career and could make an immediate impact in the Browns offense alongside Jerry Jeudy and Amari Cooper if he remains in good standing wit ...

The Las Vegas Review-Journal’s Vincent Bonsignore reports Tommy Mellott could be used as a receiver, running back, and quarterback in 2025.

06 May 2025

Mellott was described by one NFL general manager as the next Julian Edelman, a quarterback-turned-wideout who served as a key cog in the Patriots’ passing offense under Tom Brady, who now works in the Raiders front office. “I wouldn’t pigeonhole him right now,” Raiders college scouting director Brandon Yeargan said of Mellott, the Montana State product taken with the 213th pick in the 2025 draft. “I would say we view him as a receiver that’s going to have a lot of value in the kickin ...

Ravens signed K John Hoyland.

06 May 2025

Hoyland was invited by the team for an open tryout during rookie camp in the wake of the Justin Tucker saga. It now appears likely the team will sign him for depth at the position behind sixth-round rookie Tyler Loop. The former undrafted free agent went 13-for-20 in his final season at Wyoming in 2023 but converted a perfect 10-for-10 inside 45 yards.

Giants general manager Joe Schoen said QB Jaxson Dart has a “long way to go” in his development.

06 May 2025

“We traded up for him. We’re ecstatic to have him,” Schoen said of Dart, the Ole Miss QB taken with the 25th pick of the 2025 NFL Draft. “He’s got the makings of a good quarterback, and there’s a long way to go. There’s a developmental process that he’s going to have to go through. Again, these offenses are not easy to learn, and the execution has to be at a high level.” Dart, who is expected to start the season behind Rusell Wilson and perhaps Jameis Winston, will use his spri ...

Cardinals signed TE Josiah Deguara to a one-year contract.

06 May 2025

Deguara was a third-round pick of the Packers back in 2020 and spent last season with the Jaguars. The veteran tight end has a career receiving line of 50-450-2, with half of his receptions and receiving yards coming during the 2021 campaign. He appeared in three games as a backup last season and shouldn’t be considered a lock to make the 53-man roster.

Rams re-signed Matthew Stafford to a two-year, $84 million contract.

06 May 2025

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport was the first to report the deal. While we’ve known since February that a deal had been negotiated, the dollar amount had not yet been disclosed. It was reported in March that Stafford and the Rams will operate on a “year-to-year basis” for the remainder of their relationship, and for this year, he will receive a guaranteed $40 million in addition to another $4 million he has already received. Stafford will be 37 this season and is coming off a year in which he ...

The Athletic’s James Boyd believes K Spencer Shrader is the favorite to win the Week 1 starting job.

06 May 2025

It makes sense after the Colts signed Shrader to a two-year contract shortly before releasing Matt Gay, who later signed with the Commanders. Maddux Trujillo, an undrafted free agent out of Temple, would appear to be next in line for the team’s starting gig if Shrader — who made all five of his 2024 field goal tries — falters in the summer. The Colts in 2024 attempted 37 field goals, the 13th most in the league.

Ravens are expected to sign former Wyoming K John Hoyland.

06 May 2025

Hoyland was invited by the team for an open tryout during rookie camp in the wake of the Justin Tucker saga. It now appears likely the team will sign him for depth at the position behind sixth-round rookie Tyler Loop. The former undrafted free agent went 13-for-20 in his final season at Wyoming in 2023 but converted a perfect 10-for-10 inside 45 yards.

Ravens released K Justin Tucker.

05 May 2025

The writing was on the wall after the draft, where Baltimore drafted rookie kicker Tyler Loop as Tucker’s replacement. Tucker has spent most of the late season and offseason dealing with sexual misconduct allegations from massage therapists in Baltimore-area spas, and had by far the worst season of his career in 2024, making 73.3 percent of his 30 field-goal attempts. The Ravens stood by him throughout the process and framed moving on from him as a “football decision” in a statement, but i ...

Cardinals signed TE Josiah Deguara, formerly of the Jaguars.

05 May 2025

Deguara was a third-round pick of the Packers back in 2020 and spent last season with the Jaguars. The veteran tight end has a career receiving line of 50-450-2, with half of his receptions and receiving yards coming during the 2021 campaign. He appeared in three games as a backup last season and shouldn’t be considered a lock to make the 53-man roster.

The Athletic’s Ben Standig believes Brian Robinson could be a “possible or surprising” trade candidate this offseason.

05 May 2025

Standig doesn’t seem to present the idea as something that’s sure to happen, but in a mailbag question aimed about recouping picks, he mentioned that Robinson and tackle Andrew Wylie were possible pieces that could be traded to recoup draft capital for 2026. “Meanwhile, two of Robinson’s coaches in Washington, Randy Jordan (Tennessee Titans) and Eric Bieniemy (Chicago Bears), head running back rooms with incomplete depth charts,” Standig notes. The Commanders haven’t really seemed so ...
