4 weeks agoThe Kansas City Chiefs have re-signed defensive end Charles Omenihu. They've agreed on a one-year, $7 million contract for the upcoming season. Omenihu didn't play a full season in 2024 because he was still recovering from an ACL tear from 2023. Before suffering his season-ending knee injury, Omenihu recorded 28 tackles, five tackles for loss, and seven sacks in 11 games in 2023. He put up minimal stats last season, but he only played in six games. This is a solid deal for the Chiefs to bring back a valuable defensive piece.

4 weeks agoThe Detroit Lions announced on Thursday that they re-signed cornerback Khalil Dorsey (ankle) to an undisclosed deal. Dorsey will return for his third season in Detroit. The 26-year-old defensive back played in a career-high 14 games (one start) in 2024 and had a career-high 14 tackles (eight solo) and two pass breakups before suffering a season-ending ankle injury late in the year. Dorsey basically split half of his snaps on defense and half on special teams and is likely to do so again in 2025 as long as he's over his ankle injury. The former undrafted free agent out of Northern Arizona began his NFL career with the Baltimore Ravens but then didn't resurface again until 2023 in Detroit. Dorsey has only 27 total tackles (17 solo) and three passes defensed in 33 games played (three starts). He will provide secondary depth for the Lions entering training camp.

4 weeks agoThe Cleveland Browns announced on Thursday that they re-signed cornerback
Tony Brown (foot) to an undisclosed deal. Brown played in a career-low six games (no starts) in his first year with the Browns in 2024 due to a season-ending foot injury that landed him on Injured Reserve in late October. In those six games, he had just five tackles (two solo) and a forced fumble. The 29-year-old former undrafted free agent out of the University of Alabama played all 135 of his snaps with Cleveland on special teams and will likely resume that role with them in training camp this summer. In six NFL seasons with the Browns, Colts, Packers and Bengals, Brown has only 80 tackles (56 solo), one sack, one interception, seven pass breakups and four forced fumbles in 67 games played (five starts).

4 weeks agoThe Philadelphia Eagles announced on Thursday that they agreed to terms on an undisclosed one-year deal with free-agent outside linebacker Patrick Johnson (knee). The 26-year-old entered the NFL as a seventh-round selection (234th overall) by the Eagles in 2021 out of Tulane, and he spent the first three seasons of his career in Philadelphia before he was waived by the team in September of last year. He eventually latched on with the division-rival New York Giants and played 12 games (no starts) in 2024, totaling only four tackles (one solo). A knee injury caused him to miss the final three games of the season. Johnson will now return to the Eagles, where he'll likely just be competing for a roster spot in training camp. In his first three years in Philly, Jones had only 35 tackles (23 solo), a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 48 games (two starts).

4 weeks agoThe Arizona Cardinals signed Chicago Bears free-agent cornerback Jaylon Jones (shoulder) to an undisclosed deal on Thursday, according to KPRC's Aaron Wilson. Jones will reunite him with high-school teammate
Kyler Murray. The former undrafted free agent out of Mississippi has 4.41-second 40-yard dash speed and will now head to the NFC West to give the Cardinals more depth for their secondary. Jones was a restricted free agent this offseason, but the Bears didn't tender him a contract in order to try and re-sign him. In his three seasons with the Bears, the 27-year-old defensive back totaled 85 tackles (64 solo), four pass breakups and a forced fumble in 41 games (five starts). Jones played in just eight games a season ago and finished the year on Injured Reserve due to a shoulder injury. He will likely continue to mostly be a factor on special teams in Arizona.

4 weeks agoThe Kansas City Chiefs signed veteran free-agent defensive tackle Jerry Tillery to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday, according to Chiefs.com's Matt McMullen. Tiller will join the Chiefs in 2025 after recording 28 tackles (13 solo) and a forced fumble in 17 regular-season games (11 starts) in his lone season with the Minnesota Vikings. His 467 defensive snaps ranked fourth among defensive linemen on the team. The 28-year-old was mostly used as a defensive end in Minnesota's 3-4 defensive scheme, but he's expected to compete for an interior defensive-tackle role in the Chiefs' 4-3 defense this summer in training camp. Tillery is versatile for his ability to play both on the interior and on the outside, but he's unlikely to suddenly become an option in IDP fantasy formats. The former first-rounder of the Los Angeles Chargers has only 12.5 sacks in six NFL seasons and has never had more than 51 total tackles in a single season.

4 weeks agoSeattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider said on Seattle Sports radio that linebacker Uchenna Nwosu (undisclosed) had offseason surgery, and "it's way too early to tell" whether he'll need to start on the Physically Unable to Perform list or not. Schneider said it will be "pretty close." It's unknown exactly what Nwosu had surgery for, but he missed time last season with knee, thigh and wrist injuries. The 28-year-old former second-round pick (48th overall) by the Los Angeles Chargers in 2018 out of USC had a career-high 9.5 sacks in 17 starts in his first year with the Seahawks in 2022, but he's played in only 12 games (eight starts) the last two years due to injuries. He had a career-low 14 tackles (eight solo), one sack and five QB hits in six games (two starts) in 2024 and now may not be ready for the start of the 2025 regular season this fall.

4 weeks agoMike Garafolo of NFL Network reports that free-agent tight end
Tyler Conklin is visiting with the Los Angeles Chargers. The former Jet has garnered interest from a few teams -- including New York -- but has yet to find a new home. Conklin spent the last three seasons with the Jets and seemed to be trending up. However, the addition of wide receiver
Davante Adams put a damper on his production in 2024. The 29-year-old hauled in 51 passes for 449 yards on 72 targets last season, setting a career-high with four trips to the end zone. He'd be an intriguing fit in LA and would undoubtedly benefit from the play of signal-caller
Justin Herbert. Conklin could provide some nice fantasy value as a Charger, as there isn't too much target competition behind wideouts
Ladd McConkey and newly-acquired
Mike Williams.

4 weeks agoThe Pittsburgh Steelers have re-signed defensive back James Pierre to an undisclosed contract. Pierre will enter his sixth season with the team after initially signing with the Steelers as an undrafted free agent in 2020. In 2024, he ranked fifth amongst Steel City's cornerbacks in snaps (207), notching 12 tackles, two fumbles forced, and one interception in 15 appearances. However, he was also an asset on special teams, registering 55.8% of snaps in that phase of the game. Pittsburgh lost a few defensive backs in free agency, so the 28-year-old may garner more playing time at his position than in years past. Still, he's unlikely to make an impact in fantasy as a depth/rotational piece for the organization.

4 weeks agoThe Atlanta Falcons are signing former Carolina Panthers tight end
Feleipe Franks to a one-year contract. The financial details of the deal have not yet been disclosed. D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported the news. Franks, a former quarterback, signed initially with the Falcons as an undrafted free agent back in 2021 but spent most of his time on the field as a wildcat QB. The 27-year-old was converted to tight end in 2022. However, he did not make an NFL roster the following season. In 2024, the Arkansas alum appeared in 16 games for Carolina, catching one pass for 12 yards on 45 snaps. He'll slot in behind teammates
Kyle Pitts and
Charlie Woerner in the team's tight-end pecking order.

4 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.

4 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).

4 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.

4 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.
