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.

2 days agoThe Minnesota Vikings and safety Harrison Smith agreed to a revised contract for the 2025 season on Wednesday night, a source told The Athletic's Alec Lewis. Smith's new deal is worth around $11 million, with incentives bringing it up to $14 million. Neither defensive coordinator Brian Flores nor head coach Kevin O'Connell wanted to lose six-time Pro Bowl defensive back who is the heart and soul of the Vikings defense. The 36-year-old veteran has spent all 13 years of his NFL career in Minnesota after being selected with the 29th overall pick in the 2012 draft out of Notre Dame. Although Smith has only had 100 total tackles twice in his 13 years, he remains a stalwart tackler and ball-hawking safety for fantasy managers in IDP formats. Last year in 16 regular-season games, he had 87 tackles (56 solo), a sack, three interceptions, 10 pass breakups and a fumble recovery.

2 days agoThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers agreed to terms to re-sign quarterback
Kyle Trask on Wednesday night on a one-year, $2.787 million deal, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The former second-round selection (64th overall) in 2021 out of the University of Florida will return in 2025 to backup
Baker Mayfield. In his three years in the NFL, the 27-year-old has appeared in only seven games (no starts) and has gone 4-for-11 for 28 yards without a touchdown or interception. Although the Buccaneers are on their third different offensive coordinator in the last three years, Trask has familiarity with the organization. However, should Mayfield go down with an injury in 2025, Tampa's offense will probably be in serious trouble given Trask's lack of NFL experience.

2 days agoThe Baltimore Ravens re-signed wide receiver
Tylan Wallace to an undisclosed one-year deal on Wednesday evening, according to The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec. Wallace wasn't fantasy relevant in 2024 in his fourth year in Baltimore, but it was notable that he set career-highs across the board in catches (11), targets (12), receiving yards (193) and touchdowns (one) in 17 regular-season games (no starts). The 25-year-old also contributed on as a key return man on special teams. He'll be bumped further down the receiving depth chart in 2025 after the addition of
DeAndre Hopkins, but Wallace wasn't realistically going to be on the fantasy radar anyway. Wallace was taken in the fourth round (131st overall) in 2021 out of Oklahoma State. He had just seven catches on 15 targets for 67 yards and no touchdowns in his first three years in the league.
