Browns Agree To Three-Year Extension With Joel Bitonio
3 years agoThe Cleveland Browns agreed to a three-year, $48 million contract extension with Pro Bowl left guard Joel Bitonio on Wednesday, one day after signing right guard Wyatt Teller to a four-year, $56.8 million extension. The 30-year-old was previously under contract through next season. The second-rounder in 2014 is the longest-tenured Browns player and has started 104 games for the team in the last eight seasons. Bitonio became the first Browns guard to make three straight Pro Bowls since Gene Hickerson made six in a row from 1966 to 1971. Cleveland's offensive line continues to be one of the best in football, as the Browns lead the NFL with 1,442 rushing yards and an average of 5.28 yards per carry. They also rank first in pass-block win rate and ninth in run-block win rate.

Browns, Titans To Hold Private Workouts For Shedeur Sanders
20 hours agoFormer Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders will take part in private workouts for the Tennessee Titans and Cleveland Browns following his April 4 Pro Day, according to Ian Rapoport. Both teams have held private workouts for Miami's quarterback Cam Ward and are doing extra work on the son of NFL Hall of Famer Deion Sanders, too. Tennessee is expected to pick Ward with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, but they could be open to moving the pick if they receive a significant trade package. That said, both teams are still realistic landing spots for Sanders, who completed over 71% of his passes for 7,364 yards, 64 touchdowns, and 13 interceptions over his final two collegiate seasons.

Jets Signing Josh Reynolds To One-Year Deal
20 hours agoThe New York Jets are signing free-agent wide receiver Josh Reynolds to a one-year deal worth up to $5 million on Thursday, sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. New general manager Darren Mougey is familiar with Reynolds from their time together with the Denver Broncos last year. The 30-year-old veteran wideout also spent time in 2023 with the Detroit Lions and with the Jacksonville Jaguars to close out last season. With Denver and Jacksonville in 2024, Reynolds combined for only 13 receptions on 24 targets for 194 yards and one touchdown in nine games played (two starts). The former fourth-round pick (117th overall) by the Los Angeles Rams in 2017 out of Texas A&M will now head to New York, where he'll be battling for a complementary role behind Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard and Xavier Gipson. Barring injuries, Reynolds will be avoidable in 12-team fantasy leagues this fall.

Vikings Want J.J. McCarthy To Be Their Starting QB
20 hours agoNaming quarterback J.J. McCarthy (knee) as the Minnesota Vikings' starting quarterback is "the outcome we want" and "the outcome we're headed towards," general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah said on Wednesday. However, the GM also refused to rule out the possibility of revisiting talks with free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers later this offseason if he's still available. McCarthy and Brett Rypien are the only QBs currently on the Vikings roster after both Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones left in free agency. McCarthy, the 10th overall pick in 2024, missed all of his rookie season due to a torn meniscus in his right knee suffered in the preseason. However, he's been cleared for offseason activities and is working to regain weight after losing more than 20 pounds. McCarthy said he hasn't been told he's the starter, but barring something unexpected, he should be under center for the Vikes in Week 1 this fall.

Tim Boyle Joins Titans Quarterback Room
1 day agoThe Tennessee Titans announced on Wednesday that they signed free-agent quarterback Tim Boyle to an undisclosed deal. Boyle will provide depth in the QB room in Tennessee behind Will Levis and Brandon Allen. However, with the Titans fully expected to take a rookie signal-caller in this year's draft -- signs are pointing toward it being Cam Ward at No. 1 overall -- Boyle won't be a lock to stick around with Tennessee into the 2025 regular season. The 30-year-old veteran will be joining his seventh NFL team after already playing with the Packers, Lions, Bears, Jets, Dolphins and Giants. He spent last year with the Dolphins and Giants, going 27-for-50 for 276 yards, one touchdown and an interception in three games (no starts). Boyle has a 60.5 career completion percentage with five touchdown passes and 13 interceptions in 23 career games (five starts) over six seasons.
