6 days agoFormer New Orleans Saints cornerback Paulson Adebo has agreed to terms with the New York Giants, according to ESPN. Adebo was originally a third-round pick by New Orleans out of Stanford in 2021 and has compiled 254 tackles (209 solo), two forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, 10 interceptions, and 43 pass deflections in 62 career games. The 25-year-old was limited to just seven games last season. Adebo joins a G-Men defense led by defensive coordinator Shane Bowen.

6 days agoFree-agent cornerback Carlton Davis III has agreed to a three-year, $60 million contract with the New England Patriots, according to ESPN. The deal includes $34.5 million in total guarantees. Davis is a former second-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers out of Auburn and was traded to the Detroit Lions last offseason. Overall, the 28-year-old has collected 380 tackles (310 solo), 11 interceptions, 84 pass deflections, four forced fumbles, six fumble recoveries, and 17.5 run stuffs in 89 career games. Paired with Christian Gonzalez, New England now has one of the top cornerback duos in the NFL under new head coach Mike Vrabel.

6 days agoThe Carolina Panthers are finalizing a deal to sign former Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Milton Williams, according to ESPN. The 2021 third-round pick out of Louisiana Tech registered 24 tackles (11 solo), five sacks, one forced fumble, and one pass deflection in 17 games for Philly last season and was viewed as one of the top defensive linemen on the free-agent market. Carolina's defense ranked last in the NFL last season in total yards per game (404.5), so the organization is emphasizing upgrading that side of the ball ahead of the 2025 campaign.

6 days agoFormer Pittsburgh Steelers offensive tackle Dan Moore agreed to a four-year, $82 million contract with the Tennessee Titans, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport. The deal includes $50 million guaranteed and $30 million in Year 1. Moore was a fourth-round pick by Pittsburgh in the 2021 NFL Draft out of Texas A&M and has started in 66 career games. The 26-year-old has started at both right and left tackle, but 2024 first-round pick J.C. Latham played right tackle at Alabama before starting at left tackle in his rookie campaign, so it remains to be seen where each player will suit up to begin the 2025 season. This signing should provide a boost for
Tony Pollard and whoever starts at QB in Nashville moving forward.

6 days agoFree-agent quarterback
Jimmy Garoppolo is signing back with the Los Angeles Rams on a one-year deal, according to ESPN. The 33-year-old signed with Los Angeles last offseason to back up
Matthew Stafford and will return in that role for the 2025 campaign. Garoppolo has thrown for 15,828 yards, 96 touchdowns, and 52 interceptions in 82 career games with the New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers, Las Vegas Raiders, and Rams. He appeared in one game last season, posting 334 passing yards, two touchdowns, and one interception. While Jimmy G won't see significant playing time barring a Stafford injury, he's worth stashing in deeper Superflex or two-QB formats. If Stafford has to miss any time next season, Garoppolo would be throwing to
Puka Nacua and
Davante Adams and could have low-end QB1 upside.

6 days agoThe New Orleans Saints acquired defensive tackle Davon Godchaux from the New England Patriots on Monday in exchange for a seventh-round draft pick in 2026, sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Godchaux was a starter for four seasons in New England and will now head to the NFC South. He's a Plaquemine, Louisiana native and LSU product and will be heading home. The 30-year-old veteran has one year remaining on the two-year, $18 million extension he signed with the Patriots last offseason. More than anything, Godchaux brings durability in the trenches, as he hasn't missed a game since 2020. He also has 60-plus tackles on the interior defensive line in three of his last four seasons. The former fifth-rounder of the Miami Dolphins in 2017 will help shore up the Saints' run defense in new head coach Kellen Moore's first year running the team.

6 days agoThe Kansas City Chiefs are signing free-agent running back
Elijah Mitchell (hamstring) to a one-year deal worth up to $3.5 million on Monday, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Mitchell, who was a sixth-round pick by the San Francisco 49ers in 2021 out of Louisiana, will now join the Chiefs backfield as depth behind
Isiah Pacheco for the 2025 season. Barring another injury for the injury-plagued RB, he'll likely enter Week 1 this fall as the No. 2 behind Pacheco. Mitchell has averaged a healthy 4.7 yards per carry on 327 rushing attempts over his three seasons in the NFL, but he's only appeared in 27 games (12 starts) due to injury. He suffered a hamstring injury in training camp last year and was placed on season-ending Injured Reserve in August before the regular season even began. At best, Mitchell will be a deep-league handcuff option for those that have Pacheco rostered.

6 days agoThe Carolina Panthers agreed with Pro Bowl cornerback Jaycee Horn on a four-year, $100 million deal ($25 million per year) on Monday to make him the new highest-paid defensive back in NFL history, sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Horn will receive $70 million guaranteed. The deal was negotiated by Trevon Smith and David Mulugheta. Injuries have been an issue for the 25-year-old cornerback since he was taken eighth overall in 2021 -- he's played in just 37 games in four seasons -- but the Panthers were sold after Horn had a career year in 2024. He started a career-high 15 games for the Panthers last season and compiled a career-high 68 tackles (49 solo), his first two sacks, five tackles for loss, an interception, and a career-high 13 pass breakups. If Horn can stay healthy again in 2025, he could be in the conversation for best corner in the league.

6 days agoThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers agreed to an undisclosed three-year deal on Monday to re-sign offensive guard Ben Bredeson, according to NFL Network's Sara Walsh. Bredeson will return for his second season in Tampa after signing for one year last March. The 27-year-old started all 17 regular-season games for the Buccaneers in his first year with the team last year and figures to return as the team's starting left guard in 2025. Per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, Bredeson's deal is worth $22 million, according to a source. The former fourth-round pick out of Michigan in 2020 became Tampa's starter last year after Sua Opeta tore his ACL in training camp. Bredeson had a run-block win rate of 70.5%, which ranked 19th among guards in the NFL. His pass-block win rate of 91.6% was 17th in the league. Bredeson allowed only 10 total sacks.

6 days agoDefensive end Haason Reddick has agreed to a one-year deal worth $14 million, including $12 million guaranteed, with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Monday, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter. Reddick was involved with in a messy holdout situation with the New York Jets last year after being acquired in a trade from the Philadelphia Eagles, and he ended up playing in just 10 games (two starts) and had 14 tackles (nine solo), one sack and a forced fumble. The 30-year-old veteran pass-rusher skipped the entire offseason with the Jets and the first seven regular-season games, forfeiting $5.5 million of his $14.25 million base salary in 2024. The two-time Pro Bowler didn't look anything like the player who had 50.5 sacks the previous four seasons with the Eagles, Cardinals and Panthers. The Bucs will be hoping the former first-rounder will be able to bounce back in 2025 with the ugly situation with the Jets in the rearview mirror.

6 days agoThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers are re-signing wide receiver
Chris Godwin (ankle) to a three-year deal worth $66 million on Monday, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Godwin will be guaranteed $44 million at signing. There were some whispers that the New England Patriots would make a play to snag Godwin, but the Bucs made sure that the 29-year-old never reached the open market. With
Tee Higgins being franchise-tagged by the Cincinnati Bengals, Godwin was the next most attractive wideout in free agency at the receiver position. Godwin ended up playing in only seven games in 2024 due to a fractured ankle, but before that season-ending injury, he was on pace for career-best numbers with 50 receptions, 576 receiving yards and five touchdowns on 62 targets. Despite the presence of
Mike Evans, Godwin should continue to have a big role in Tampa's passing attack in 2025 as long as he doesn't have any negative effects from his ankle injury.

6 days agoFormer NFL Defensive Player of the Year Khalil Mack reached an agreement on Monday on a one-year, fully guaranteed $18 million deal with the Los Angeles Chargers, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter. After the Chargers released pass-rusher Joey Bosa last week, it was imperative that the Chargers retain linebacker Mack after he decided in the offseason that he would be returning for another season. The 34-year-old veteran, three-time first-team All-Pro and nine-time Pro Bowler wasn't quite as good as he was in 2024 as he was in 2023 when he had a career-best 17 sacks, but he was still productive. Mack finished with 39 tackles (20 solo), six sacks, six tackles for loss, 15 QB hits, nine pass breakups, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 16 regular-season starts. Mack will still be relevant in IDP fantasy leagues in what will likely be his final season, but the absence of Bosa will probably mean more double-teams.

6 days agoThe Pittsburgh Steelers placed the second-round restricted tender on restricted free-agent running back
Jaylen Warren on Monday, according to his agents. The tender is worth $5.346 million. Although technically not official yet, placing the second-round tender pretty much guarantees that the 26-year-old will be back in Pittsburgh in 2025. Fellow backfield mate
Najee Harris is an unrestricted free agent this week and has a good chance of not returning, which would make Warren much more attractive in fantasy next season, depending on what other moves the Steelers make at the position in free agency or the draft. Any team that wants to sign Warren now would have to offer up second-round draft compensation. Although Harris had another 1,000-yard season in 2024, Warren has looked better than him at times the last two years and has averaged a healthy 4.8 yards per carry in his three NFL seasons.
