5 days agoThe Houston Texans are bringing back veteran defensive lineman Mario Edwards Jr., according to team reporter Aaron Wilson. The deal is expected to be for two years and $9.5 million. Edwards joined Houston's roster last offseason and posted 31 tackles and three sacks in 13 games. Overall, the former Florida State Seminole has played for seven organizations and has racked up 187 tackles (122 solo), 24.5 sacks, six forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, eight pass deflections, and 24 run stuffs in 128 career games. He'll continue to provide depth along Houston's defensive front in 2025.

5 days agoThe Los Angeles Chargers are re-signing free-agent center Bradley Bozeman to a two-year deal worth up to $12 million, according to NFL insider Ari Meirov. The former Ravens first-round pick out of Alabama in 2018 has played in 113 games with 94 career starts between his time with the Ravens, Panthers, and Chargers. He logged 17 starts at center last year for L.A. and is back with the team for the 2025 campaign. The 30-year-old will be tasked with protecting franchise quarterback
Justin Herbert and paving running lanes for new Chargers ball carrier
Najee Harris.

5 days agoDallas Cowboys wide receiver/return specialist
KaVontae Turpin is re-signing with the team on a three-year, $18 million deal, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. The 28-year-old was recently given a second-round tender that would pay him $5.38 million in 2025 but has now agreed to the new deal. Turpin went undrafted in 2019 out of TCU and spent time in four different alternative leagues before signing with Dallas in 2022. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2022 and 2024 and has a first-team All-Pro for his work as a return specialist in 2024. Overall, Turpin has returned 60 punts for 569 yards and one touchdown and returned 58 kickoffs for 1,704 yards and a score in 50 career games. As a receiver, he's hauled in 44 passes for 556 yards and five touchdowns. Turpin plays a valuable role for Dallas, but he's unlikely to be on the fantasy football radar since he's primarily a special-teamer.

5 days agoThe Cleveland Browns are signing former Tampa Bay Buccaneers outside linebacker Joe Tryon-Shoyinka to a one-year, $4.75 million contract, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. The Washington product was a first-round pick in the 2021 NFL Draft by Tampa Bay and has collected 138 tackles (87 solo), 15 sacks, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, eight pass deflections, and 15 run stuffs in 66 career games. The 26-year-old has missed just two games during his four-year NFL career and will provide depth along Jim Schwartz's defensive front while playing alongside and behind Myles Garrett.

5 days agoThe Arizona Cardinals are re-signing wide receiver
Zay Jones to a one-year, $4.4 million deal, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. The 29-year-old signed with Arizona last May but was suspended for the team's first five games for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. Overall, he played in 11 contests and totaled eight receptions for 84 yards. In addition to the Cardinals, Jones has spent time with the Buffalo Bills, Las Vegas Raiders, and Jacksonville Jaguars during his eight-year NFL career. He has posted more than 600 receiving yards just once in his career, so it would be a surprise if he's on the fantasy football radar in 2025.

5 days agoThe Houston Texans are signing offensive guard Laken Tomlinson to a one-year, $4.25 million contract, according to team reporter DJ Bien-Aime. Tomlinson was originally a first-round pick by the Detroit Lions in the 2015 NFL Draft out of Duke. The 33-year-old has played in 163 games (155 starts) with the Lions, San Francisco 49ers, New York Jets, and Seattle Seahawks. He has missed just one regular-season game throughout his 10-year NFL career. Houston recently traded left tackle Laremy Tunsil to the Washington Commanders and guard Kenyon Green to the Philadelphia Eagles, so Tomlinson arrives as a likely Day-1 starter for the Texans.

5 days agoThe San Francisco 49ers are releasing defensive end Leonard Floyd, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The former No. 9 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft out of Georgia by the Chicago Bears appeared in 17 games for the Niners last season and totaled 42 tackles, 8.5 sacks, one forced fumble, and 7.5 run stuffs. The 32-year-old has registered at least 8.5 sacks in each of the last five seasons with San Francisco, the Los Angeles Rams, and the Buffalo Bills. Edge rusher depth and production is valuable and sought after in the NFL, so expect the veteran to draw interest on the open free-agent market.

5 days agoFormer Los Angeles Chargers standout cornerback Kristian Fulton agreed to terms with the Kansas City Chiefs on Tuesday on a two-year, $20 million deal with $15 million guaranteed, sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Fulton has the chance to make as much as $20.5 million through incentives. In his lone season with the Chargers, the 26-year-old defensive back had a career-best 51 tackles (39 solo), one interception and seven pass breakups in 15 regular-season games (14 starts). He will stay in the AFC West and join a Chiefs secondary that was already one of the best in the NFL in 2024 under defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. Fulton was a second-round pick (61st overall) by the Tennessee Titans in 2020 out of LSU and spent the first four years of his career with the Titans before joining L.A. last year. He has 201 career tackles (155 solo), one sack and five interceptions in 57 games (51 starts).

5 days agoThe Carolina Panthers announced on Tuesday that they have released running back
Miles Sanders. This move does not come as a surprise as Sanders' tenure in Carolina was marred by injuries and poor performance. The 27-year-old lost the starting job to
Chuba Hubbard in 2023 and averaged only 3.5 yards per carry on 184 rushing attempts for 637 yards and three touchdowns in 27 games (seven starts) in his two seasons with the Panthers, adding 51 receptions (71 targets) for 302 yards and a TD through the air. It was a no-brainer move for Carolina, even though second-year RB
Jonathon Brooks (knee) tore his ACL again in 2024 and may miss all of the 2025 season. Sanders played in only 11 games (two starts) last year due to injury and had 205 rushing yards and two touchdowns on just 55 carries. He's still young but will probably only land in a change-of-pace role on the open market.

5 days agoGreen Bay Packers free-agent running back
AJ Dillon (neck) has been fully cleared by multiple doctors and is ready to return to the field in 2025, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Dillon didn't play at all in 2024 due to a stinger, but he's still only 26 years old and has 2,428 career rushing yards and 18 total touchdowns in his four seasons with the Packers. He proved that he's not really a lead back when he got the opportunity in Green Bay, but Dillon should still attract plenty of interest on the open market as a big, physical runner if he's indeed past his neck injury. Because he'll likely be sharing plenty of backfield touches wherever he lands in free agency, his fantasy value will remain limited. In his last season in 2023, Dillon had a career-low 3.4 yards per carry on 178 rushing attempts for 613 yards and two rushing touchdowns in 15 games (six starts).

5 days agoThe Minnesota Vikings are closing in on a deal with two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Javon Hargrave and plan to sign him after his release from the San Francisco 49ers becomes official at the start of the new league year on Wednesday, sources tell NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. After signing former Washington Commanders defensive tackle Jonathan Allen to a three-year deal on Tuesday, it appears the Vikings aren't done adding to a defensive line that was lacking in the pass-rush department a year ago. Hargrave, 32, only played in two games for the 49ers last season due to a triceps injury that he suffered in Week 3, but he had 25.5 sacks from 2021-23 and will add some serious pass-rushing ability for Minnesota if he's fully healthy in 2025 alongside Allen. The Vikings' pass-rushing unit last year was the eighth-worst in the league.

5 days agoFormer Detroit Lions third-rounder Ifeatu Melifonwu reached an agreement on Tuesday on a one-year, $4 million deal with the Miami Dolphins, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 25-year-old cornerback will head to the AFC West after spending the first four seasons of his NFL career in Detroit, where he compiled a total of 72 tackles (53 solo), 4.5 sacks, six tackles for loss, seven QB hits, two interceptions, 13 pass breakups, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries in 37 games (14 starts) for the Lions. The secondary was a position of need for Miami with Jevon Holland signing with the Giants in free agency and Jordan Poyer also unlikely to return. Melifonwu should have a starting role in 2025 with the Dolphins. He didn't make his 2024 debut until Week 16 because of an ankle injury and then injured his hamstring in the Divisional Round loss to the Washington Commanders.
