Brandon Allen is signing a one-year deal with the Tennessee Titans, according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo. Allen was originally a sixth-round selection by the Jacksonville Jaguars in 2016 out of Arkansas and has spent time with five NFL organizations. Overall, the 32-year-old has completed just under 57% of his passing attempts for 1,810 yards, 11 touchdowns, and eight interceptions in 18 career games (one start). He'll now join
Will Levis in Tennessee's quarterback room, and the Titans seem to be signaling that they are leaning toward picking a quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. It would not be a surprise if Levis is dealt for a late-round pick, and Tennessee selects Miami quarterback Cam Ward next month.

1 day agoVeteran quarterback
Kenny Pickett was traded from the Philadelphia Eagles to the Cleveland Browns this week in a deal that sent
Dorian Thompson-Robinson to Philly. Pickett is now back in the AFC North after spending his first two seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The former first-round pick said he views himself as a starter with his new organization. The 26-year-old has a 15-10 record as a starter behind 4,765 passing yards, 15 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions with the Steelers and Eagles. With
Deshaun Watson (Achilles) unlikely to play in 2025, there's a real chance Pickett will compete for the starting job, but the Browns are likely to add more competition via free agency or the 2025 NFL Draft.

1 day agoFree-agent wide receiver
Noah Brown (kidney) is re-signing with the Washington Commanders on Thursday on a one-year deal worth up to $4.5 million, sources tell ESPN's Adam Schefter. Brown, who caught the Hail Mary touchdown pass in the wild win over the Chicago Bears during the 2024 regular season, caught 35 of his 56 targets for 453 yards and one touchdown in 11 regular-season games (nine starts) in his first year in D.C. Unfortunately, the 29-year-old suffered a kidney laceration late in the year and finished the season on Injured Reserve. He should be all healed up for the start of the 2025 season this fall, though, and will give the Commanders additional receiving depth behind top wideouts
Terry McLaurin and newcomer
Deebo Samuel Sr. While Brown did have a bigger role on offense right before his injury, he'll have a limited fantasy ceiling as the No. 3 as long as both McLaurin and Samuel stay healthy.

1 day agoThe Athletic's Dianna Russini reports that teams are willing to pay Cincinnati Bengals All-Pro defensive end Trey Hendrickson what he desires on a new contract, but they have found the Bengals' current asking price for him in a trade to be "ridiculous," according to one general manager. As of right now, Cincy's asking price on the NFL's reigning sack leader is too high, but there is time for the Bengals to adjust as the offseason progresses. It's understandable that the Bengals are asking for a lot for Hendrickson, who has recorded 17.5 sacks in each of the last two seasons as one of the best pass-rushers in the league. But interested teams are not only going to have to give up a haul of draft picks but also pony up on a large contract that will likely make the 30-year-old one of the highest-paid non-quarterbacks in the league. Don't rule out the possibility of Cincy retaining Hendrickson.

1 day agoThe New England Patriots are planning to release eight-time captain David Andrews (shoulder) on Thursday, sources tell ESPN Boston's Mike Reiss. Andrews is recovering from right-shoulder surgery. If he ends up retiring, the expectation is that the Patriots would host a ceremony to honor his contributions to the organization over the last decade. The 32-year-old veteran center was originally an undrafted free agent out of the University of Georgia, but he signed with the Patriots, made his debut in 2015 and won two Super Bowl rings with the team. Andrews' shoulder injury limited him to just four starts in 2024, but in his nine years in New England, he started in all but three of his 124 games played. If he's healthy, he'll likely attract interest on the open market, but it's unclear if Andrews has interest in continuing his NFL career outside of New England.

1 day agoThe New Orleans Saints are signing free-agent cornerback Isaac Yiadom to a three-year deal worth $9 million with $4.86 million guaranteed on Thursday, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The deal carries a maximum value of $10.5 million through incentives. It's a return to the Big Easy for Yiadom, who finished the 2022 season with the Saints and also played all of the 2023 season in New Orleans. The 29-year-old defensive back had a career-high-tying 46 tackles (38 solo), an interception, six pass breakups, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries in 17 games (five starts) in 2024 in his lone season with the San Francisco 49ers. While the former third-rounder (99th overall) by the Denver Broncos in 2018 out of Boston College isn't an asset in IDP fantasy leagues, he'll give a struggling Saints defense more depth in their secondary moving forward.

1 day agoFree-agent quarterback
Mason Rudolph agreed to a two-year, $8 million deal with $4.5 million guaranteed to return to the Pittsburgh Steelers, sources told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Rudolph considered multiple offers, including re-signing with the Tennessee Titans, but he ultimately chose to return to Pittsburgh after playing for them from 2019-23. The Steelers took the 29-year-old in the third round (76th overall) in 2018 out of Oklahoma State. Rudolph ended up taking over for the struggling
Will Levis in Tennessee last year and went 146-for-228 for 1,530 yards, nine touchdowns and nine interceptions in eight games (five starts). He's pretty much been a game manager in his five years in the NFL, and he'll represent insurance for Pittsburgh with
Justin Fields leaving for the Jets and
Russell Wilson unsettled on where he'll land. The Steelers likely signed Rudolph with the intention of him being a backup again.

1 day agoThe Seattle Seahawks are interested in signing recently released veteran wide receiver
Cooper Kupp, according to SeattleTimes.com. Kupp was let go by the Los Angeles Rams following eight seasons with the organization that included him racking up 634 receptions for 7,776 yards and 57 touchdowns in 104 career games. Kupp won the 2021 NFL Offensive Player of the Year Award after posting 145 catches for 1,947 yards and 16 scores. Seattle released longtime wideout
Tyler Lockett and traded
DK Metcalf to the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason, leaving the team with a weakness at the position behind
Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Kupp is beyond his prime years of production, but he'd instantly slide into at least the No. 2 pass-catching role in Seattle's offense led by new quarterback
Sam Darnold.

2 days agoFormer Texas A&M edge rusher Shemar Stewart is scheduled to visit with the Atlanta Falcons, a source told NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The Falcons could certainly use help in the pass-rushing department, and Stewart is a projected top-10 pick in this year's NFL draft after an explosive performance at the NFL Combine at the end of February. The Falcons currently hold the No. 15 overall pick in the first round of the draft, so should Stewart slip slightly, he could be right in their range. Atlanta has already made several additions to the defensive side of the ball in free agency this week as well, adding edge rusher Leonard Floyd, cornerback Mike Hughes and linebacker Divine Deablo. According to Pro Football Focus, Stewart is their No. 26-ranked player in this year's draft class.

2 days agoFree-agent safety Juan Thornhill will visit with the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday, sources told FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. The six-year veteran spent the last two years with the Cleveland Browns and has eight career interceptions in 74 NFL starts. Signing Thornhill would help make up for the loss of Talanoa Hufanga, who signed with the Denver Broncos as a free agent. The 29-year-old Thornhill was drafted in the second round (63rd overall) by the Kansas City Chiefs in 2019 out of Virginia, and he spent the first four years of his career there. He played in 11 games in each of the last two years with the Browns while recording a total of 103 tackles (72 solo) and four pass breakups. Because he played in only 22 games in his two seasons with the Browns, Thornhill was a salary cap casualty as a post-June 1 cut.

2 days agoThe Tennessee Titans signed free-agent defensive lineman Dre'Mont Jones on Wednesday to a one-year, $10 million deal, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jones will head to the AFC South after spending the last two years with the Seattle Seahawks, where he had 77 tackles (40 solo), 8.5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss, 25 QB hits and a forced fumble in 34 games (23 starts). The 28-year-old defensive end's numbers in 2024 were his lowest since his rookie season in 2019 with the Denver Broncos. The Broncos originally took him in the third round (71st overall) in 2019 out of Ohio State. In his six seasons in the NFL, Jones has 210 total tackles (116 solo), 30.5 sacks, 40 tackles for loss, 63 QB hits, one interception, seven pass breakups, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery. Tennessee will be looking to pair him with Sebastian Joseph-Day alongside Jeffery Simmons.

2 days agoNew Orleans Saints all-time franchise sack leader Cameron Jordan has reached an agreement to return to the team for his 15th season, a source told NewOrleans.Football's Mike Triplett. Jordan had one year and $12.5 million left on his current deal, although a pay cut is expected. Without a contract restructure, the 35-year-old veteran likely would have been a salary cap casualty this offseason after waning production in recent seasons. The former 24th overall pick in the 2011 NFL draft out of California was a first-team All-Pro back in 2017 and has been named to eight Pro Bowls in his 14 years in the league. Jordan has had double-digit sacks six times, although he has just 14.5 combined sacks in the last three seasons in New Orleans. In addition to leading the franchise with 121.5 sacks all time, Jordan has started all but one of the 226 games he's appeared in.
