2 weeks agoESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reports that the Tennessee Titans have signed veteran edge rusher Lorenzo Carter to an undisclosed contract. The 29-year-old spent the last three seasons with Atlanta after being selected by the New York Giants in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Carter played 13 games with the Falcons in 2024 and registered the team's third-most snaps off the edge. However, he failed to record a sack for the first time in his career. He'll join a Titans' defense that allowed the third-fewest yards per game in the league (311.2) but the third-most points per game (27.1). Tennessee is a gritty team, and the veteran should be a boost as a rotational piece for the organization. Still, he won't be a factor for fantasy.Source: Adam Schefter

2 weeks agoVeteran free-agent linebacker Jerome Baker has visited with the Cleveland Browns. Baker remains on the open market after splitting time between the Seattle Seahawks and Tennessee Titans in 2024. He only appeared in 10 games (eight starts) between both teams and had a career-low 61 tackles (34 solo), two sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. The 28-year-old played in five games with Seattle before he was traded to the Titans to close out the year. Baker was originally a third-round selection (73rd overall) by the Miami Dolphins in 2018 out of Ohio State. With seven years of NFL experience with three different teams, he should eventually latch on with another squad, but Baker might have to compete for a backup role in his new digs. Baker has 648 career tackles (416 solo), 24.5 sacks, 33 tackles for loss, 49 QB hits, five interceptions (two returned for TDs), 25 pass breakups, seven forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 104 games (90 starts).Source: NFL Network - Tom Pelissero
2 weeks agoFormer Chicago Bears offensive guard Teven Jenkins signed an undisclosed deal with the Cleveland Browns on Thursday, sources told FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Jenkins will head to the AFC North after starting 38 games over his last four seasons with the Bears. The 27-year-old former second-round pick (39th overall) in the 2021 NFL draft out of Oklahoma State started a career-high 14 games in the Windy City in 2024 and has had issues with injuries over his four years in the NFL. While durability hasn't really been Jenkins' thing, he'll head to Cleveland with plenty of experience and versatility along the offensive line in his career, having made 38 starts at left tackle, left guard and right guard. All 14 of his starts last year for the Bears came at left guard.Source: FOX Sports - Jordan Schultz
2 weeks agoThe Atlanta Falcons agreed to terms with former Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/kick returner Jamal Agnew on Thursday on a one-year deal worth a maximum of $2.5 million, a source tells NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Agnew spent last year on the Pittsburgh Steelers' practice squad as he recovered from a broken leg that he suffered late in the 2023 season, but he's now fully healthy. The 29-year-old former fifth-rounder (165th overall) by the Detroit Lions in 2017 out of the University of San Diego was a Pro Bowl returner in 2022 with the Jaguars, but he's unlikely to move the needle much on offense in Atlanta, where he'll serve as receiving depth behind Drake London, Darnell Mooney and Ray-Ray McCloud III, among others. Agnew was more involved on offense in his three years in Duval, but he still had only 61 catches for 641 yards and five touchdowns on 90 targets from 2021-23.Source: NFL Network - Mike Garofolo
2 weeks agoVeteran free-agent cornerback Rock Ya-Sin has agreed to terms to sign with the Detroit Lions, according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo. The 2019 second-round pick out of Temple by the Indianapolis Colts is set to join his fifth organization after three seasons with Indy and one season a piece with the Las Vegas Raiders, Baltimore Ravens, and San Francisco 49ers. Overall, the 28-year-old has compiled 199 tackles (166 solo), two interceptions, 31 pass deflections, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries in 79 career games. He'll add depth to the Detroit secondary that continues to stack talent ahead of the 2025 campaign.Source: Mike Garafolo
2 weeks agoThe Cincinnati Bengals are hosting offensive guard Lucas Patrick on a visit on Friday, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. The organization has been working to build its offensive line tasked with protecting quarterback Joe Burrow over the last few seasons, and Patrick could be the next addition to that group. The eight-year NFL veteran has played in 107 NFL games (64 starts) with the Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears, and New Orleans Saints. The former undrafted free agent out of Duke allowed zero sacks on 330 pass-blocking snaps a season ago for the Saints.Source: Jordan Schultz
2 weeks agoThe Washington Commanders signed offensive guard Nate Herbig on Thursday, according to NFL.com. The former undrafted free agent out of Stanford in 2019 brings 61 games (30 starts) of NFL experience with him to the Washington offensive line group. The 26-year-old has spent time with four organizations, most recently the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2023 and 2024. Herbig is likely to begin next season behind starter Nick Allegretti, though the team could look to add even more offensive line depth in next month's 2025 NFL Draft.Source: NFL.com
2 weeks agoVeteran free-agent defensive tackle Benito Jones is signing back with the Miami Dolphins, according to NFL.com. Jones began his career with Miami as an undrafted free agent out of Ole Miss in 2020 and spent two seasons with the Dolphins before two years with the Detroit Lions. He returned to Miami ahead of the 2024 campaign and is back for another year. Overall, the 27-year-old has logged 68 tackles (31 solo), 2.5 sacks, two pass deflections, and 13 run stuffs in 57 career games. Miami could look to upgrade from Jones in the 2025 NFL Draft, but for now, he has a chance to start again in 2025 after starting 15 contests in 2024.Source: NFL.com
2 weeks agoThe Seattle Seahawks and outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu agreed to a reworked contract on Thursday that will lower his 2025 salary cap number while also keeping one of the team's best edge defenders around for another season. Nwosu had two years and $26.5 million left on his previous deal and was scheduled to make $14.99 million this year while counting $21.17 million against the cap despite two injury-plagued campaigns. His new deal is for two years and $19.51 million, and he's scheduled to make $8 million in 2025 while counting $11.85 million against the cap, which is around $9.4 million less than his previous cap charge. Nwosu can earn up to $5 million of his $6.99 million pay cut back via incentives tied to sacks, playing time and the playoffs. The 28-year-old had a career-high 9.5 sacks in 2022 but has just three sacks and five tackles for loss in 12 games since.Source: ESPN.com - Brady Henderson
2 weeks agoThe Washington Commanders announced on Thursday that they signed free-agent wide receiver Michael Gallup to an undisclosed deal. Gallup was drafted in the third round (81st overall) by the Dallas Cowboys in 2018 out of Colorado State and spent the first six years of his NFL career in Dallas before signing last offseason with the Las Vegas Raiders. The 29-year-old announced his retirement before ever playing in a game with Vegas before deciding he wanted to come back in 2025. He'll now return to the NFC East, where he'll serve as receiving depth behind Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel Sr. and Noah Brown, at the very least. It's a poor landing spot for Gallup potentially returning to fantasy relevance, as he'll also be competing with Luke McCaffrey and K.J. Osborn for playing time. Fantasy managers can probably avoid Gallup in drafts this fall.Source: Washington Commanders
2 weeks agoThe Cleveland Browns signed free-agent wide receiver and return specialist DeAndre Carter (hamstring) to a one-year deal for nearly $800,000 guaranteed on Wednesday, sources told FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Carter will head to the AFC North in 2025 after spending the 2024 campaign with the Chicago Bears, where he caught only nine of 14 targets for 72 yards and no touchdowns on offense over 13 games (no starts). The 31-year-old will most likely be more of an asset to the Browns on special teams as a kick returner than he will be on offense, as he hasn't had more than 46 catches, 538 yards or three touchdowns in a single season during his seven NFL seasons. Carter missed the final four games last year with a hamstring injury but should be good to go for training camp this summer. He had 17 punt returns for 158 yards and 15 kickoff returns for 479 yards for the Bears in 2024.Source: FOX Sports - Jordan Schultz
2 weeks agoThe Kansas City Chiefs re-signed defensive lineman Marlon Tuipulotu to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday, according to his agents. The 25-year-old former sixth-round pick (189th overall) by the Philadelphia Eagles in the 2021 NFL draft out of USC was on the Chiefs' active 53-man roster for most of the regular season in 2024, but he saw action in only two games (one start) and had four tackles (two solo) in the Week 18 regular season finale against the division-rival Denver Broncos with the team resting most of their starters. Tuipulotu will be competing for a roster spot as interior defensive line depth in training camp this summer in his second year with the team. In 14 games (non starts) for the Eagles in 2023, he had a career-high 22 tackles (13 solo) and two sacks.Source: NFL Network - Mike Garofolo
2 weeks agoNFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that the Las Vegas Raiders signed New England Patriots restricted free-agent linebacker Christian Elliss to an offer sheet on Wednesday. The Patriots will now have until Monday to match the Raiders' offer or risk losing Elliss. The 26-year-old received the right-of-first-refusal tender from the Patriots on March 8. Because he was undrafted out of Idaho, the Patriots wouldn't receive any draft compensation if they don't match the Raiders' offer sheet. In his first full season in New England in 2024, he had a career-high 80 tackles (42 solo), his first 1.5 sacks, five QB hits, his first career interception, five pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 16 games (five starts). It was solid production for Elliss, which makes it likely that new head coach Mike Vrabel will want to keep the playmaker around.Source: NFL Network - Tom Pelissero
2 weeks agoThe Detroit Lions re-signed defensive end Al-Quadin Muhammad to an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday, according to agents Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey. Muhammad will return to the Motor City in 2025 to serve as a rotational defensive lineman once again, so he won't be worth a look at all in IDP fantasy formats. Last year in nine regular-season games (two starts), he produced just 11 tackles (eight solo), three sacks and five QB hits. The 29-year-old pass-rusher from the University of Miami (FL) entered the NFL in 2017 as a sixth-round pick (196th overall) by the New Orleans Saints. Muhammad spent just one year with the Saints before spending 2018-21 with the Indianapolis Colts. He has only 15 total sacks in his 93 games played (36 starts) over seven NFL seasons.Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter
