3 weeks agoFormer Seattle Seahawks cornerback Tre Brown is signing with the San Francisco 49ers, according to ESPN reporter Nick Wagoner. Brown has collected 74 total tackles, two interceptions (one pick six), and eight pass deflections in 39 career games since being selected in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Oklahoma. Wagoner believes Brown will be a key contributor on special teams and could push for the No. 3 cornerback role in San Francisco. The 49ers are shedding several key veterans this offseason, so Brown will be tasked will helping fill the holes heading into the 2025 NFL campaign.

Weaver was a fourth-round draft choice by the Tennessee Titans in 2021 out of Pittsburgh and registered 49 tackles (29 solo), 5.5 sacks, and two forced fumbles in 33 career games during the first three years of his career. He spent last season with the Houston Texans and Los Angeles Rams, primarily as a practice squad member. He played in three games for Houston but did not log a stat. Weaver likely has an uphill battle to make the Jets' 53-man active roster in 2025.

3 weeks agoThe Buffalo Bills restructured the contract of defensive lineman Ed Oliver, creating $10 million in salary cap space by adding void years to the end of his deal. The former No. 9 overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft signed a four-year, $68 million contract in 2023 following his rookie contract, and the Bills executed a simple restructure to provide immediate cap flexibility. In 92 career games, Oliver has compiled 231 tackles (144 solo), 27 sacks, seven forced fumbles, one interception, 14 pass deflections, and 45.5 run stuffs. While he has not lived up to his top-10 draft status, he's been a strong presence along Buffalo's defensive front since entering the NFL.

3 weeks agoFree-agent wide receiver
Marquez Valdes-Scantling is signing with the Seattle Seahawks on a one-year deal worth up to $5.5 million, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. The 30-year-old is set to join his fourth team in three years after posting 17 receptions on 35 targets for 385 yards and four touchdowns in eight games with the New Orleans Saints to close out the 2024 campaign. MVS was originally a fifth-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft out of USF and has totaled 205 catches for 3,566 yards, and 20 touchdowns in 106 career games. While the veteran is unlikely to be a consistent fantasy producer, he could have spike weeks in Seattle's new-look offense led by
Sam Darnold. With
DK Metcalf and
Tyler Lockett out of town, Valdes-Scantling could have the opportunity to start in three-wide sets from Day 1 of the 2025 NFL season.

3 weeks agoThe Miami Dolphins are re-signing linebacker Tyrel Dodson to an undisclosed two-year deal on Wednesday, a source tells ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques. Dodson signed a one-year, $4.2 million deal last offseason with the Seattle Seahawks but was released after nine games. Miami then claimed him off waivers, and he started three of his nine games with the Dolphins in 2024. The 26-year-old had his first career interception in his first start and he finished the year with a team-high three picks. Dodson was named AFC Defensive Player of the Week in Week 17 after he had 15 tackles and an interception against the Cleveland Browns. The former undrafted free agent out of Texas A&M had a career-best 107 tackles (59 solo), two sacks, five tackles for loss, three picks, six pass breakups and a forced fumble in 17 total games with Seattle and Miami last year.

3 weeks agoNFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports on Wednesday that the most likely outcome for Los Angeles Rams wide receiver
Cooper Kupp is a release since he came out and said the week before the Super Bowl that the Rams were looking to trade him. This mostly has everything to do about Kupp's contract. Although he has lost some gas in recent years due to lower-body injuries, there is expected to be a strong market for the 31-year-old veteran, mainly because of how weak the free-agent market is at the position. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Kupp's release is expected to come on Wednesday. Rapoport thinks Kupp will find a new team quickly, mainly because teams knew that he'd be available this offseason. Since Kupp won the receiving Triple Crown in 2021, he has missed 18 games due to injuries and hasn't been the same. However, depending on his landing spot, Kupp could still have plenty of fantasy potential if he stays on the field.

3 weeks agoThe Kansas City Chiefs restructured the contract of defensive tackle Chris Jones on Wednesday, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. In addition to Jones, the Chiefs also restructured quarterback
Patrick Mahomes' contract to free up $49.446 million in salary cap space for this year. In recent weeks, the Chiefs placed the franchise tag on offensive guard Trey Smith and re-signed linebacker Nick Bolton and wide receiver
Marquise Brown. This week in free agency, KC added offensive tackle
Jaylon Moore and cornerback Kristian Fulton. The 30-year-old Jones has made the Pro Bowl in each of the last six seasons and has been a first-team All-Pro in each of the last three seasons as one of the best defensive tackles in the league. However, after recording 26 sacks in 2022 and 2023, Jones had only five sacks in 15 regular-season starts in 2024.

3 weeks agoThe Buffalo Bills agreed to terms to re-sign safety Damar Hamlin on an undisclosed one-year deal, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Hamlin, who famously went into cardiac arrest on the field against the Cincinnati Bengals on a Monday night game in 2022, will stick around in Buffalo for a fifth season after collecting 89 tackles (62 solo), his first two career interceptions, a career-high five pass breakups and a fumble recovery in 14 regular-season starts in 2024. At the very least, the 26-year-old defensive back will provide depth in Buffalo's secondary, but depending on what the team does the rest of the offseason, Hamlin could be in line to start at safety in 2025. The former sixth-round pick in 2021 out of Pittsburgh has 184 career tackles (129 solo), 1.5 sacks, eight tackles for loss, two interceptions, nine pass breakup, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in his four seasons.

3 weeks agoThe Tennessee Titans are signing former Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver
Van Jefferson to a one-year deal worth up to $2.5 million. Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports reported the news. The former Florida Gator spent one season in Pittsburgh, accumulating just 24 receptions, 276 yards, and two touchdowns in 17 games. Jefferson played the second-most snaps of all Steelers wideouts with 755 (
George Pickens). The 28-year-old has eclipsed 370 receiving yards only once in his career (in 2022 with the Rams) but figures to slot in as the team's second WR behind incumbent primary option
Calvin Ridley. He'll now vie for targets with fellow wideouts
Tyler Boyd and
Treylon Burks and tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo. Jefferson regularly disappeared last season, recording one catch or fewer in nine appearances, and will be difficult to trust as a viable fantasy option in 2025 despite the change of scenery.

3 weeks agoThe NFL's Ian Rapoport reports that the Buffalo Bills are signing former Pittsburgh Steelers defensive tackle Larry Ogunjobi on a one-year, $8.3 million deal with $8 million guaranteed. The agreement has a maximum value of $10 million, including incentives. The eighth-year pro is finally leaving the AFC North, as he also spent one season in Cincinnati after being selected by the Cleveland Browns in the third round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Ogunjobi ranked fifth in snaps across Pittsburgh's entire defensive front a season ago, registering 41 tackles and 1.5 sacks in 15 games of work. Buffalo allowed 117.7 rushing yards per contest in 2024 (13th-fewest), and it appears they're looking to improve upon that metric in 2025 as the 30-year-old joins newly-signed defensive ends Joey Bosa and Michael Hoecht on the Bills' roster.
