2 days agoThe Jacksonville Jaguars have "no plans right now" to pick up linebacker Devin Lloyd's fifth-year option, according to head coach Liam Coen. According to NFL.com, the team is still working to get to know Lloyd before deciding on the 2022 first-round pick. Since being taken with the No. 27 overall pick, Lloyd has racked up 335 tackles (195 solo), two sacks, one forced fumble, four fumble recoveries, four interceptions, 19 pass deflections, and 22.5 run stuffs in 48 career games. The Jaguars are in the middle of a soft rebuild under a new regime, so the organization will continue to be meticulous with its personnel decisions.

2 days agoFormer University of Tennessee defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott visited with the Cincinnati Bengals and Cleveland Browns this week and has visits with the Tennessee Titans, Buffalo Bills, Kansas City Chiefs, and San Francisco 49ers on the schedule this week and next week. The 23-year-old is one of the top interior pass-rushers in the 2025 NFL Draft class, which has become more of an emphasis for NFL teams. Norman-Lott played three seasons at Arizona State before two seasons in Knoxville, racking up 89 tackles (47 solo), 17 tackles for loss, 13.5 sacks, two pass deflections, and one forced fumble in 44 career games. Lott could hear his name called in Round 1 of next month's draft, but he's likely to be picked in the second or third round.

2 days agoFormer University of Texas quarterback
Quinn Ewers is visiting with the Indianapolis Colts on Wednesday, according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo. The organization has
Anthony Richardson and
Daniel Jones on the roster but could be interested in adding a mid-round rookie given the struggles of Richardson and Jones so far. Ewers began his career at Ohio State before transferring to Texas, where he played in 36 games for the Longhorns. The Texas native threw for 9,128 yards, 68 touchdowns, and 24 interceptions and led Texas to two consecutive College Football Playoff Semifinal appearances. Ewers once had first-round hype, but he'll likely be picked anywhere from the second round to the fifth round in the 2025 NFL Draft.

2 days agoNFL Network's Mike Garafolo said that concerns about cornerback Asante Samuel Jr.'s (neck, shoulder) medicals have really put a damper on his free-agent market this offseason. Garafolo believes that Samuel would have already signed by now if there weren't concerns about injuries that limited him to a career-low four games played in 2024 with the Los Angeles Chargers. The 25-year-old did take a visit to the Arizona Cardinals this offseason, but he remains on the open market with the NFL draft right around the corner. The former second-round pick (47th overall) in 2021 by the Chargers out of Florida State is still young and has plenty of ability when healthy, so he should eventually land with a team once he's recovered from his injuries. In his first three years with the Bolts, Samuel had 163 tackles (137 solo), six interceptions, 35 pass breakups and a fumble recovery in 46 games (43 starts).

2 days agoDallas Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said that cornerback Trevon Diggs (knee) might not be ready for the start of the 2025 regular season this fall. Diggs had surgery on his left knee in late January, putting his status firmly in doubt for Week 1, especially since it's the same knee the 26-year-old defensive back suffered an ACL tear in back in 2023. In addition to his knee injury, Diggs also dealt with ankle, calf and foot injuries in 2024 and was limited to 11 starts, recording 42 tackles (35 solo), two interceptions and 11 pass breakups in his fifth year in Dallas. The former second-round selection (51st overall) in 2020 out of Alabama was a first-team All-Pro in 2021 when he had a league-high 11 interceptions. Since then, though, Diggs has had six picks in 30 games and has been saddled by injuries the last two seasons.

2 days agoDallas Cowboys linebacker DeMarvion Overshown (knee) has been progressing well in his recovery from a significant knee injury, and there is optimism that he could return around the middle of the 2025 season, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Overshown was having a breakout campaign in 2024 before his knee injury, piling up 84 tackles, five sacks, an interception, a forced fumble, one fumble recovery, eight tackles for loss and a defensive touchdown in the first 13 games (12 starts) of his NFL career. The 24-year-old former third-rounder (90th overall) in 2023 out of Texas had surgery to fix ACL, MCL and PCL tears in his right knee on Dec. 18. The Cowboys will just be hoping that Overshown will be able to show the same type of burst he had as a pass-rusher in his rookie year when he returns from his serious knee injury. Fantasy managers in single-year IDP formats can ignore Overshown to begin the season.

2 days agoThe Green Bay Packers are expected to hose University of Texas wide receiver
Matthew Golden for a top-30 visit soon, according to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Tom Silverstein. The 5-foot-11, 191-pounder showed blazing speed (4.29-second 40-yard dash at the NFL combine) and is in contention to be the first wideout taken in this year's NFL draft at the end of the month. The 21-year-old pass-catcher also had a formal interview with the Packers at the combine. Golden had 58 catches for 987 yards and nine touchdowns last year at Texas and could be an immediate deep threat in Green Bay in his rookie year with
Christian Watson (knee) potentially missing half the year. Although there's no guarantee the Packers will take a receiver in the first round, it's clear they will address the position in the draft, as they are also meeting with Texas WR
Isaiah Bond.

2 days agoThe Pittsburgh Steelers are hosting North Carolina running back
Omarion Hampton, Oklahoma State running back
Ollie Gordon II and Oregon defensive tackle Derrick Harmon on pre-draft visits on Wednesday, according to The Athletic's Mike DeFabo. Hampton, who was a two-time All-American with the Tar Heels, is the biggest name here and is expected to come off the board in the first round at the end of this month. Pittsburgh has
Jaylen Warren and added
Kenneth Gainwell to their backfield after the departure of
Najee Harris in free agency, but it's clear they aren't done adding to the position for the 2025 season. The Steelers have the 21st overall pick in the first round of this year's NFL draft and could be right in the wheelhouse to take Hampton, who would be expected to eventually work as the team's primary back over Warren in 2025.

3 days agoThe Green Bay Packers are scheduled to host University of Texas wide receiver
Isaiah Bond on a top-30 visit on Wednesday, a league source told the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel's Tom Silverstein. Many draft analysts believe this could be the year the Packers take a receiver in the first round, but if they don't, they could elect to draft a player like Bond on Day 2 or 3. In addition to Bond, the Packers have taken a look at Stanford pass-catcher
Elic Ayomanor. After adding only
Mecole Hardman in free agency at the position, Green Bay is primed to address the position in this year's NFL draft, especially with
Christian Watson (knee) potentially missing half of the 2025 season. Bond lacks size but could excel as a shifty wide receiver in space in head coach Matt LaFleur's offense, while Ayomanor's skillset makes him more of a downfield threat.

3 days agoUniversity of Texas wide receiver
Matthew Golden will visit with the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday after meeting with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Tuesday, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Golden ran a 4.29-second 40-yard dash and has been touted as a natural leader, a consistent worker and a big-game performer. "I think Golden's one of those guys who didn't fully realize how good he could be until it started clicking. Once he tasted success, he just kept working," one college scouting director said. The 21-year-old will be a strong downfield target at the next level and could complement
CeeDee Lamb quite well with the Cowboys in his rookie season. In his lone season with the Longhorns in 2024, Golden had 58 catches for 987 yards and nine touchdowns, and he's in contention to be the first wideout taken in the NFL draft later this month. The Cowboys hold the No. 12 overall pick in Round 1.

3 days agoCleveland Browns exclusive-rights free-agent linebacker Winston Reid signed his tender on Tuesday to officially return to the team for the 2025 season. Reid will return for his second NFL season in Cleveland after recording 23 tackles (15 solo), half a sack, two pass breakups and one fumble recovery in 16 games (three starts) in his rookie year after going undrafted out of Weber State. The 25-year-old linebacker will return to the Browns and will enter training camp this summer in a reserve role at middle linebacker behind Jordan Hicks. He will be hoping to perform well enough in camp and the preseason to earn a 53-man roster spot going into Week 1 this fall.
