2 weeks agoThe Athletic's Matt Schneidman is predicting that the Green Bay Packers break their 22-year streak and take Arizona receiver
Tetairoa McMillan in the first round of the upcoming NFL draft for the first time since 2002. According to ESPN draft analyst Jordan Reid, Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst was the only GM present at a private workout for McMillan last week. He's listed at No. 7 on Dane Brugler's to-100 list, so the Packers would have to trade up within the first round to snag him. If Green Bay doesn't go after McMillan, they could wait until later in the draft and take Texas'

Luther Burden III. Schneidman thinks the Packers go receiver regardless in Round 1, and it would make sense with
Christian Watson (knee) expected to miss around half of the 2025 season.

2 weeks agoNew England Patriots general manager Eliot Wolf said last month that the team would take the "best player available" in the upcoming NFL draft with the fourth overall pick and doubled down on the statement again on Sunday during the team's annual draft party for season-ticket holders. The Patriots could still need a starting left tackle to protect second-year quarterback
Drake Maye when the draft kicks off in April, which would make it a tough decision to pass on the likes of Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter or Colorado two-way player Travis Hunter. If New England doesn't take the best player available at No. 4 overall and goes with need, the pick could very well be LSU offensive tackle Will Campbell. According to sources, the Patriots like Campbell despite his short arms, and they think that Hunter is the best player in the draft at both cornerback and receiver.

2 weeks agoVeteran free-agent defensive lineman Leki Fotu (knee) signed an undisclosed deal with the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday, a source told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Hamstring and knee injuries limited Fotu to just two games (one start) with the New York Jets in 2024. The 26-year-old was taken by the Arizona Cardinals in the 2020 NFL draft in the fourth round (114th overall) out of the University of Utah. In his four seasons with the Cardinals, the defensive tackle had 89 tackles (42 solo), 3.5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss, seven QB hits, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 56 games (21 starts). Fotu will most certainly continue to be a rotational defensive lineman on the interior and will be competing for a 53-man roster spot this summer in training camp in Vegas.

2 weeks agoThe Los Angeles Chargers re-signed free-agent safety Tony Jefferson to an undisclosed one-year deal on Monday, sources told FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Jefferson did not play at all in 2023 but came out of retirement to join the Chargers last year and had 27 tackles (17 solo) in eight regular-season games (four starts). The 33-year-old veteran could very well retire after the 2025 season, and he certainly won't be a lock to make the 53-man active roster out of training camp this summer. The 10-year veteran defensive back has played for five different teams in his NFL career and has a total of 519 tackles (387 solo), 9.5 sacks, 35 tackles for loss, 20 QB hits, four interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), 24 pass breakups, eight forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries in 121 regular-season games (71 starts). Jefferson won't be anywhere near the IDP fantasy radar.

2 weeks agoThe New England Patriots officially matched the Las Vegas Raiders' offer sheet to bring back linebacker Christian Elliss on Monday, a source told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. It's not a surprise that the Patriots matched the Raiders' offer for the 26-year-old, who broke out with a career year in 2024 for the team. The former undrafted free agent out of Idaho played in 16 games (five starts) last year in his first full season in New England and stood out with 80 tackles (42 solo), 1.5 sacks, five QB hits, his first career interception, five pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. The Patriots officially re-signed Elliss to a two-year deal, so he's now under contract with the Pats through the 2026 season. While Elliss may not be an every-day starter for new head coach Mike Vrabel in 2025, he should maintain a key role in the middle of the field.

2 weeks agoThere are a ton of moving parts with Atlanta Falcons quarterback
Kirk Cousins' situation this offseason, but SI.com's Albert Breer writes that Cousins could waive is no-trade clause after April's NFL draft. Breer believes Cousins wants to avoid the situation he found himself in with the Falcons last year when he was blind-sided by the Falcons' decision to select
Michael Penix Jr. in the first round. Before accepting any potential trade, the 36-year-old veteran has signaled to interested teams that he wants to wait until after the draft to pick his new team. Breer has heard that Cousins' camp would be amenable to working out the particulars of a trade before the draft on the contingency that a team willing to trade for him wouldn't take a QB in the first round. The Falcons are willing to make Cousins the highest-paid backup in the league, but a trade still seems more likely to happen. The Browns are the most probably landing spot.

2 weeks agoFree-agent safety Julian Blackmon (shoulder) is visiting with the Carolina Panthers on Monday, sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The 26-year-old was a starter for the Indianapolis Colts for the last five years, totaling 300 tackles (225 solo), 1.5 sacks, 13 tackles for loss, 10 interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), 21 pass breakups, two forced fumbles and four fumble recoveries in 66 games played (62 starts). Despite rupturing the right labrum in his shoulder in Week 1, Blackmon managed to play 16 games for the Colts in 2024. He was set for offseason surgery, so it's unclear when exactly he'll be ready to work out this offseason with his new team. Despite already adding plenty of pieces to what was a terrible defense last year, the Panthers are still searching for more talent in their secondary.

2 weeks agoThe Tennessee Titans signed former New England Patriots and Washington Commanders kicker
Joey Slye to an undisclosed deal on Monday, according to agent Glenn Schwartzman. Slye signed with the Patriots last year and beat out
Chad Ryland for kicking duties. The 28-year-old then went 26-for-33 on his field-goal attempts (6-for-9 from 50-plus yards) and 25-for-26 on his extra-point tries in 17 games played. The Titans will be the sixth team that Slye has kicked for in his NFL career after going undrafted out of Virginia Tech in 2018. He has a career 81.7 percent success rate on his field-goal attempts in 95 games played. He's currently the only kicker on Tennessee's roster, but it wouldn't be a surprise for the Titans to bring in competition for training camp this summer. Slye is unlikely to be much of a fantasy option in 12-team leagues this fall.

2 weeks agoPer the team, defensive lineman Zach Carter is re-signing with the Las Vegas Raiders. They have not revealed the details of the deal. The former third-round pick served two years in Cincinnati before joining the Raiders in 2024, playing as a rotational piece for the team. Carter signed in October as a practice squad player and was elevated to the active roster just eleven days later. He registered 22 tackles and 1.5 sacks on 88 snaps, seeing his playing time increase over the back half of the season. Whether the 25-year-old has a chance to start this season is unknown, but the Raiders saw something they liked despite his limited time with the team. Las Vegas has returned most of its defensive front from a year ago.

2 weeks agoSafety Nick Scott has signed a one-year deal with the Carolina Panthers, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The financial details have not yet been disclosed. Scott spent four seasons with the Rams after they took him in the seventh round of the 2019 NFL Draft, with his best statistical season coming in 2022 -- an 83-tackle campaign with two interceptions in 17 games. His production dipped during a 2023 stint with the Bengals, and a season ago, accrued 26 takedowns in ten games (four starts) with neck and hamstring injuries. The Penn State alum is currently listed behind teammates Tre'von Moehrig and Demani Richardson on the team's unofficial depth chart, but it's worth noting he notched at least five tackles in five straight outings before picking up the hamstring ailment.

2 weeks agoThe NFL's Ian Rapoport reports that the Houston Texans are signing former Chicago Bears defensive end Darrell Taylor to a one-year, $5.25 million deal. Taylor was selected by the Seattle Seahawks during the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft and played three seasons with Seattle before spending 2024 with the Bears. The Tennessee product appeared in 16 games, racking up 32 tackles, three sacks, and two fumbles forced. He played the third-most snaps off the edge for the Seahawks. Taylor hasn't been as productive over the past few seasons, though he did pile up 9.5 sacks in 16 contests during the 2022 season. He figures to be a valuable depth piece for the squad and should rotate in behind teammates Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter.

2 weeks agoPer Darren Urban of the team, the Arizona Cardinals are signing free-agent offensive lineman Royce Newman to a one-year contract. The financial details have not yet been disclosed. Newman, a four-year pro, was selected in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers -- spending three seasons there before a one-year spell with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2024. He logged just three snaps with the Bucs last season. The 27-year-old is the second acquisition for Tampa Bay on their offensive front, joining fellow offensive lineman Kelvin Beachum. Currently, Newman is listed as the team's unofficial starter at right guard on their depth chart. This status may change in the coming months.
