2 weeks agoThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers are re-signing offensive lineman Sua Opeta to a one-year deal, according to ESPN's Jenna Laine. Opeta did not appear in a game last year after spending the entire season on the Injured Reserve list due to a knee injury. The former Weber State Wildcat went undrafted in 2019 before signing with the Philadelphia Eagles and appearing in 38 games (10 starts) across four seasons. The veteran has NFL experience at tackle and guard, so he'll provide valuable depth and flexibility along the improved Tampa Bay offensive line if he can stay healthy in 2025.

2 weeks agoFree-agent cornerback Chidobe Awuzie is signing a one-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens, according to NFL.com. The 29-year-old signed with the Tennessee Titans last offseason but lasted just one year with the team before being released. Awuzie spent the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Dallas Cowboys followed by three seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals. Overall, the former second-round pick has compiled 395 tackles (290 solo), five forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, seven interceptions, and 66 pass deflections in 94 career games. Awuzie was limited to just eight games last year due to a groin injury. He is set to provide depth and a veteran presence in the Baltimore secondary that allowed 238.3 passing yards per game (27th) a season ago.

2 weeks agoESPN's Adam Schefter said on The Pat McAfee Show that the New York Giants' quarterback room is and continues to be a work in progress, even after they signed veteran signal-caller
Jameis Winston last week. The Giants also re-signed
Tommy DeVito and are very much still in the market for free-agent QB
Russell Wilson. Schefter believes that even if Wilson ends up signing in New York, the G-Men could select Colorado QB
Shedeur Sanders with the third overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft in April. Because of how much the Giants have struggled at the QB position, they are going to do anything they can to address it in the short and long term in free agency and the draft. Whether Sanders is the Giants' starting QB in Week 1 of the 2025 season is another story, and that would likely depend on whether they also have Wilson or
Aaron Rodgers on their roster.

2 weeks agoThe Las Vegas Raiders announced on Tuesday that they signed free-agent tight end Ian Thomas (calf) to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday. Thomas will head to the AFC West after spending the first seven years of his NFL career with the Carolina Panthers after they selected him in the fourth round (101st overall) in the 2018 NFL draft out of Indiana. The 28-year-old never really established himself as a fantasy asset in Carolina, with his best season coming in his rookie campaign with a 36-333-2 line on 49 targets in 16 games (six starts). Thomas landed on Injured Reserve in 2024 with a calf injury and only caught three of six targets for seven yards in five games (two starts). He scored four touchdowns in his first three seasons but hasn't found the end zone since. In Vegas, he'll provide TE depth behind
Brock Bowers and
Michael Mayer and will remain off the fantasy radar.

2 weeks agoMiami quarterback Cam Ward thinks he has "solidified" himself as the top overall pick in April's NFL draft after his Pro Day on Monday. Ward worked out in front of more than 90 NFL team staffers, including a full contingent from the Tennessee Titans, who have the No. 1 overall pick. "They finally got to see me throw in person. That should be all they need to see. But at the end of the day ... I'm going to be happy whatever team I go to. I'm just trying to play football," Ward said. In his lone season with the Hurricanes in 2024, Ward set single-season records for passing yards, completions, passing touchdowns and completion percentage and became the all-time FCS and FBS leader in passing TDS with 158. If Ward is taken by Tennessee first overall, he will almost certainly start in Week 1 after
Will Levis, a former second-rounder, was benched last year in favor of
Mason Rudolph.

2 weeks agoThe Athletic's Nick Kosmider suggests that the Denver Broncos could target a running back in the upcoming draft that specializes in catching the ball out of the backfield after they targeted their RBs with passes on 51 of 203 early down passes early in games in 2024, which led the league. However, Denver ranked 25th in expected points added per play when targeting their RBs with short passes early in games.
Javonte Williams, who had a career-high 70 targets last year, is now in Dallas, and
Jaleel McLaughlin's target share and efficiency dropped in his sophomore season. The Broncos need a RB more capable of carrying a heavy workload -- Williams led the team in 2024 with 8.2 carries per game, the lowest in the NFL -- but they might not be searching for a RB in this year's draft who will routinely carry the offense on the ground.

2 weeks agoMinnesota Vikings quarterback
J.J. McCarthy (knee) said on the Up & Adams Show that the team hasn't told him that he's the starting QB going into the 2025 season this fall, and he's "happy they didn't." The Vikings reportedly told free-agent quarterback
Aaron Rodgers that they aren't considering signing him, which essentially sent the message that the team is moving forward with McCarthy, a first-rounder last year, as their starting QB, even though he missed all of his rookie season with a torn meniscus suffered in the preseason. The Vikings are still expected to add a veteran signal-caller after losing both
Sam Darnold and
Daniel Jones in free agency, but it won't be someone that pushes the 22-year-old McCarthy for the starting gig. Something could change once the Vikings begin offseason workouts, but for now, all signs point to McCarthy starting in Week 1 this fall.

2 weeks agoThe Chicago Bears announced on Monday that they signed free-agent cornerback Nick McCloud to an undisclosed one-year. McCloud spent the 2024 season with the New York Giants and San Francisco 49ers, compiling a total of 25 tackles (14 solo) in 15 games (five starts). The 26-year-old saw more action on defense with the G-Men in seven games (five starts), as he didn't start a single game in eight games played with the Niners. He entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent out of Notre Dame before eventually joining the Cincinnati Bengals for his rookie campaign in 2021, when he played in just two games. Expect McCloud to be competing for a depth role in the secondary as well as a role on special teams for the Bears in training camp this summer. He has 96 career tackles (69 solo), 1.5 sacks, one interception, 10 pass breakups, three forced fumbles and three fumble recoveries in his four NFL seasons.

2 weeks agoThe New Orleans Saints agreed to terms with unrestricted free-agent offensive lineman Dillon Radunz on Monday on an undisclosed one-year deal, the team announced. Radunz will head to the NFC South after spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Tennessee Titans, where he started 31 of the 54 games that he appeared in. The 26-year-old was originally selected by the Titans in the second round (53rd overall) in 2021 out of North Dakota State. Radunz will now have the opportunity to compete with the likes of Nick Saldiveri, Landon Young and Kyle Hergel for a guard spot on New Orleans' offensive line under new head coach Kellen Moore in 2025. He proved his versatility in his four years with the Titans, seeing time at both guard spots and both tackle positions. However, he made all 15 of his starts a year ago at right guard.

2 weeks agoFree-agent offensive tackle Kendall Lamm (undisclosed) signed an undisclosed one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday, sources tell FOX Sports' Peter Schrager. Lamm will join the Super Bowl champions' offensive line after spending the last three years with the Miami Dolphins, where he appeared in 33 games (16 starts). The 32-year-old veteran was put on Injured Reserve late last year with an undisclosed injury before the Week 18 regular-season finale. In Philadelphia, he'll give the Eagles depth at both left and right tackle behind both Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata. The former undrafted free agent out of Appalachian State will be joining the fifth team of his career as he heads into his 11th season in the NFL. Lamm has started only 44 of the 119 games he's appeared in.

2 weeks agoThe New Orleans Saints announced on Monday that they re-signed safety Ugo Amadi to an undisclosed one-year deal. Amadi will return to New Orleans for a third year in 2025 after racking up a career-high 65 tackles (52 solo), his first two career sacks, six tackles for loss and seven passes defensed in 11 games (five starts) in 2024. The 27-year-old got some run late in the year out of the slot when Paulson Adebo broke his leg, and he was able to deliver for a Saints defense that really struggled last year. At the very least, Amadi will have a chance to compete for a similar role in the Big Easy in training camp this summer, but he's unlikely to emerge as a fantasy weapon in IDP leagues. The former fourth-rounder (132nd overall) by the Seattle Seahawks in 2019 out of Oregon has 208 total tackles (164 solo), two sacks, 12 tackles for loss, one interception, 22 pass breakups, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in six seasons.

2 weeks agoThe Kansas City Chiefs announced on Monday that they re-signed defensive tackle Mike Pennel to an undisclosed deal. Pennel will return to Kansas City for a third year after playing in 17 regular-season games (seven starts) and recording 25 tackles (10 solo), a career-high three sacks and a forced fumble. The 33-year-old veteran only appeared in three regular-season games for the Chiefs in his first year with the team. Pennel will now return to Kansas City in a rotational role on the interior of their defensive line as a rotational player, which means he won't be on the fantasy radar in IDP formats. In his 11 seasons in the NFL, Pennel has recorded 231 tackles (127 solo), only five sacks, 14 tackles for loss, 17 QB hits, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 138 regular-season games (25 starts).

2 weeks agoExclusive-rights free-agent tight end
Travis Vokolek officially signed his one-year tender offer on Monday to return to the Arizona Cardinals. It was merely a formality, as his lone option was to sign and remain with Arizona after they extended him a tender earlier this month. The 26-year-old former undrafted free agent will now return in 2025 for his third season with the team. Vokolek has only appeared in three games with the Cardinals in his two seasons in the NFL and has yet to be targeted or catch a pass on offense. The Nebraska alumni will merely be competing for a roster spot in training camp this summer as a special-teamer and for tight end depth. The 6-foot-6, 260-pounder originally joined the Cardinals in 2023 after being signed off the Baltimore Ravens' practice squad that December. On offense, Vokolek is a blocking-first tight end.

2 weeks agoThe Seattle Seahawks signed veteran free-agent tight end
Eric Saubert to an undisclosed deal on Monday, according to Seahawks.com's John Boyle. Saubert, originally a fifth-round selection (174th overall) by the Atlanta Falcons in 2017 out of Drake, will now join his eighth NFL team as he heads into his ninth year in the league. The 30-year-old spent last year with the San Francisco 49ers, where he caught 11 of 14 targets for 97 yards and one touchdown in 17 games (three starts). Saubert will remain in the NFC West and will serve as a backup behind
Noah Fant and
A.J. Barner in Seattle, leaving him virtually no fantasy appeal. Barring injuries to Fant and Barner, expect Saubert to mostly factor in on special teams. His best season came back in 2022 with the Denver Broncos, when he caught 15 of 24 targets for 148 yards and one touchdown in 17 games (six starts).
