3 weeks agoBaltimore Ravens offensive guard Ben Cleveland has re-signed with the organization. Cleveland is back with the team after spending the first four seasons with his career with the team. He is a former third-round pick of the Ravens from 2021. Cleveland has made some spot starts in his career, but has mainly been a rotational player. He played in all 19 games for the Ravens last season, including the playoffs. Cleveland will probably be a depth or rotational player next season, but the fact he has been a viable and healthy option makes him valuable to the team.Source: spotrac.com
3 weeks agoThe Seattle Seahawks have signed defensive back Shemar Jean-Charles to a one-year deal. The former fifth-round pick hasn't been able to make much of an impact early in his career. He last played with the New Orleans Saints in 2024. He finished with 14 tackles, two passes defended, and one interception in nine games (two starts) with the Saints last season. Jean-Charles will get a chance to compete for a depth role in Seattle during training camp.Source: spotrac.com
3 weeks agoThe New Orleans Saints have signed free-agent wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. to a one-year deal. Jones is a former third-round pick of the Chicago Bears from 2022. He was never able to make much of an impact in Chicago and was waived by the team in October. Jones finished out last season with the Carolina Panthers, but he didn't see much of the field over there. He'll compete for a spot on the 53-man roster in training camp and could serve as a depth option or kick returner if he's able to make the team.Source: Yahoo.com

3 weeks agoThe Miami Dolphins have re-signed wide receiver Dee Eskridge. The two sides have agreed on a one-year deal for an undisclosed amount of money. The former second-round pick from 2021 has unfortunately not lived up to the hype. Last season, Eskridge hauled in three receptions for 44 yards in six games during his first year with the Dolphins. He averaged nearly 30 yards per kick return, so that is likely why the Dolphins decided to bring him back. Eskridge could see a few targets as well, but he'll probably mainly be used on special teams, so he won't be fantasy relevant.Source: miamidolhins.com
3 weeks agoKansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has signed a new deal to remain with the organization. Smith-Schuster returns on a one-year deal for an undisclosed amount of money. The former second-round pick was decent as a depth option for the Chiefs last season. He hauled in 18 receptions for 231 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games (eight starts) with the Chiefs last season. The expectation is that Smith-Schuster will slide somewhere behind Xavier Worthy, Marquise Brown, and Rashee Rice (knee) once he's healthy enough to play. It's tough to imagine Smith-Schuster being a fantasy relevant player on a weekly basis.Source: ESPN
3 weeks agoTennessee Titans defensive back Chidobe Awuzie has been released by the organization on Saturday. This is an interesting move considering Awuzie signed a three-year deal with Tennessee last offseason. His first season in Tennessee was a disappointment, but it's a bit surprising to see the Titans giving up on him so quick. Awuzie recorded 26 tackles, four passes defended, and one interception in eight games (seven starts) with the Titans last season. He was limited to eight games due to injury, but that's not too shocking considering Awuzie hasn't played a full season since 2019. Despite the injury history, Awuzie should have a decent market as a free agent.Source: titans.com
3 weeks agoThe Dallas Cowboys have agreed to a deal with free-agent wide receiver Parris Campbell on Saturday. The two sides have agreed on a one-year deal for an undisclosed amount of money. This is not exactly a blockbuster move, but it does give the Cowboys more depth at wideout. The expectation is that Campbell will sit somewhere behind CeeDee Lamb and Jalen Tolbert on the depth chart. The 27-year-old barely saw the field last season as he recorded six receptions for 30 yards with one touchdown in five games with the Philadelphia Eagles. Campbell hasn't exactly been fantasy relevant throughout his career outside of his 623-yard season in 2022. The Cowboys have a handful of capable pass-catchers, so Campbell is unlikely to be fantasy relevant in 2025.Source: dallascowboys.com
3 weeks agoThe Philadelphia Eagles have reached an agreement with former New York Giants linebacker Patrick Johnson on a one-year deal. The financial terms have not been disclosed. Johnson spent his first three years with the Eagles, racking up 20 tackles, one fumble forced, and one recovered in 48 games, but signed with New York for the 2024 season. He'd appear in 13 games for the G-Men, though he only registered three tackles. However, he did participate on special teams for New York. Philadelphia let a few of their defensive starters depart this offseason, but the 27-year-old figures to operate as a depth piece for the team.Source: Philadelphia Eagles
3 weeks agoThe Los Angeles Rams are re-signing defensive lineman Larrell Murchison to a one-year deal. The terms of the contract are currently undisclosed. Murchison is on his fourth stint with the Rams, though he missed the entire 2024 season due to injury, failing to register a snap. The 27-year-old was shelved for the first four weeks of the season after an arm injury he suffered in their first preseason game. Then, during his first practice back with the team, he broke his foot, effectively ending his season. The North Carolina State alum operated as a rotational player on the Rams' defensive front in 2023, notching 16 tackles in 15 appearances. He projects to occupy that role again in 2025, mixing in behind teammates Tyler Davis and Jack Heflin.Source: Stu Jackson
3 weeks agoNFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins will remain on the roster on Saturday past 4 p.m. ET, solidifying his $10 million roster bonus for March of 2026. Pelissero also notes that if Cousins is eventually traded or released, Atlanta's obligation is subject to offsets. Cousins started 14 games for the Falcons in 2024, though he woefully underperformed, racking up an 18:16 TD:INT ratio before getting benched for rookie signal-caller Michael Penix Jr. in Week 16. It's a strange move for the team, as it would seemingly behoove them more to trade the 36-year-old, especially considering he's made it clear that he prefers to start rather than ride the bench. With that said, you can't fault Atlanta, as Cousins would be one of the more competent backups in the league.Source: Tom Pelissero
3 weeks agoThe Athletic's Mike Silver reports that free-agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers hopes to sign with the Minnesota Vikings. Rodgers was previously linked to the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers, but Minnesota recently intervened in the situation, and it appears they're the front-runner to land the 41-year-old. Silver also noted in a separate post that if a deal with Minnesota falls through, the veteran quarterback could opt for retirement in lieu of signing with the Giants or Steelers. Rodgers has already put the two teams on hold as he waits for the Vikings to work things out, so he clearly views them as less-favorable options. It's an intriguing situation for the teams involved. Still, Rodgers isn't likely to provide much fantasy value in 2025, outside of a potential streaming option.Source: Mike Silver
3 weeks agoJohn Keim of ESPN.com reports that defensive end Clelin Ferrell is re-signing with the Washington Commanders on a one-year deal. The details of the contract have yet to be disclosed. Ferrell started ten games for the team last season. However, toward the end of the year, he was downgraded to a reserve player, which continued into the playoffs. The 27-year-old, a former first-round pick, registered 26 tackles and 3.5 sacks -- one off his career-high. He was the team's third-leading snap-getter on the edge in 2024. Ferrell is known more for his prowess as a run-stopper than the traditional pass-rushing specialist that a defensive end typically presents as. He projects to serve as a rotational piece on the team's defensive front once again in 2025.Source: John Keim
3 weeks agoThe New York Jets have agreed to terms with former Houston Texans defensive back Kris Boyd on an undisclosed deal. The Texas product spent the last two years with the Texans, though he was mainly a contributor on special teams, recording just one tackle across 23 games since 2023. Boyd was selected in the seventh round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings and spent his first four seasons with the team. His best statistical campaign came in 2020 when he notched 30 tackles and a forced fumble in ten games. The 28-year-old will likely play a big part on special teams again in 2025 while serving as a depth piece in the Jets' defensive backfield.Source: Rich Cimini
3 weeks agoThe NFL's Ian Rapoport reports that former Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Mekhi Becton is signing a two-year, $20 million deal with the Los Angeles Chargers. Becton started 15 games for Philadelphia a season ago, recording 78.05% of the team's snaps. It was his only season with the Eagles after spending the first three years of his career with the New York Jets. The former first-round pick should serve as a significant boost for LA's offensive line and figures to spend time as a guard for the team. The Chargers have been active this offseason, but the 25-year-old could prove to be one of their most pivotal acquisitions yet. It's great news for new running back Najee Harris.Source: Ian Rapoport
