Packers To Host Isaiah Bond For A Visit On Wednesday
4 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.Source: Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - Tom Silverstein
Matthew Golden To Visit With Cowboys On Thursday
4 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.Source: FOX Sports - Jordan Schultz
Winston Reid Signs Exclusive-Rights Tender
4 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.Source: Cleveland Browns

Jaxson Dart Making His Rounds
4 days agoPer ESPN's Adam Schefter, Ole Miss quarterback Jaxson Dart visited with the Cleveland Browns on Tuesday and will fly to Las Vegas to see the Raiders next. Schefter also noted that the 21-year-old has spent "considerable time" with the Giants, Saints, and Rams throughout the interview process. Dart's stock has risen over the past few months, and he was mocked to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round of Mel Kiper Jr.'s most recent mock draft. The Kaysville, Utah, native improved steadily each of his collegiate seasons and put it all together in his final year at Ole Miss. It's unclear whether he would see the field immediately, as he currently projects as a backup per his prospect grade. Still, with quarterbacks getting pushed up boards in recent years, the trend will likely continue.Source: Adam Schefter
Sam Franklin Heading To Denver
4 days agoThe Denver Broncos have agreed with free-agent safety Sam Franklin on a one-year, $1.5 million contract. The Temple alum joined the Carolina Panthers in 2020 as an undrafted free agent and spent all five seasons of his career with the team. Franklin appeared in 74 games for Carolina (nine starts), logging 105 tackles (71 solo) and three for loss. He recorded one sack and five pass breakups, and his lone interception was a 99-yard touchdown. Though the 29-year-old appeared in 10 games last season, he did not record a single statistic on defense, spending most of his playing time on special teams. It's likely that Franklin will serve as depth in Denver's defensive backfield.Source: Ari Meirov
Jalon Walker Visits With Cleveland
4 days agoAccording to the NFL's Ian Rapoport, Georgia Bulldog linebacker Jalon Walker visited with the Cleveland Browns on Monday. Many believe the Browns will go with edge rusher Abdul Carter or wide receiver/defensive back hybrid Travis Hunter with their second-overall pick. However, it appears Cleveland is exhausting every avenue before they're officially on the clock, including Walker -- arguably the draft's top linebacker prospect. The North Carolina native is an explosive defender who could undoubtedly aid the Browns' defense in returning to their 2023 form. Fortunately for Cleveland, they'll have their pick of the litter, sans whom the Tennessee Titans select at one. Furthermore, they could go down a few different avenues of team improvement with their draft choice.Source: Ian Rapoport
Pittsburgh Slated To Host Shedeur Sanders
4 days agoFOX Sports NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports that the Pittsburgh Steelers are hosting Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders for a visit on Thursday. Schultz also notes that Pittsburgh remains "very interested" in veteran QB Aaron Rodgers but has done extensive work on this year's slew of signal-callers. The Steelers hold the No. 21 pick. Sanders has been a polarizing prospect throughout the pre-draft process, linked to a few teams now, scattered throughout the first round. He was an accurate distributor in his senior season, posting career highs across the board, averaging 318.0 passing yards per game. It will be interesting to see how high the 23-year-old is selected and the situation he finds himself in. Sanders was often schemed open throws underneath last year at Colorado, contributing to his outstanding 74% completion rate. We'll see if he can elevate his play on the NFL field.Source: Jordan Schultz
Pass Rushers James Pearce Jr., Mykel Williams Visiting With Cardinals
4 days agoThe Arizona Cardinals hosted Tennessee edge rusher James Pearce Jr. on Monday and plan to host Georgia edge rusher Mykel Williams on Wednesday, according to NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo. The Cardinals ranked 28th in pass rush win rate (33%) last season, and that is a clear area of need for the organization under head coach Jonathan Gannon. Pearce was a first-team All-SEC selection in 2023 and 2024 behind 17 sacks over the last two campaigns. Williams was a second-team All-SEC performer with 9.5 sacks over the same span. Both prospects present a high upside at the next level.Source: NFL.com
Justin Simmons Hopes To Sign Before Training Camp, Willing To Wait For Right Fit
4 days agoFour-time All-Pro safety Justin Simmons remains unsigned following the first month of NFL free agency, and the 31-year-old is in no rush to join a new team as he waits to find the right fit. Simmons signed with the Atlanta Falcons last August after spending eight seasons with the Denver Broncos, so a similar timeline could play out in 2025. Simmons has collected 665 tackles (478 solo), 4.5 sacks, five forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, 32 interceptions, and 71 pass deflections since being selected in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft out of Boston College. Simmons mentioned the Philadelphia Eagles as a potential landing spot thanks to his previous relationship with former Broncos head coach and current Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Simmons hopes to sign before training camp, but he'll continue to wait for the right opportunity to continue his playing career into his 10th NFL season.Source: NFL.com
Saints The Favorite To Draft Shedeur Sanders?
4 days agoColorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders was once viewed as a potential top-five selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, but his stock has seemingly been falling over the last few weeks. Now, the New Orleans Saints, who hold the No. 9 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, are listed by DraftKings with the best odds (+275) of taking Sanders among all NFL teams. In ESPN's Mel Kiper's latest mock draft on Tuesday, he has New Orleans pulling the trigger on Sanders in the nine-hole. While the Saints still have Derek Carr on the roster, the search for the quarterback of the future could already be underway under new head coach Kellen Moore. Sanders, who threw for 4,134 yards, 37 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in his final collegiate season, could fit that bill. If he's taken by New Orleans, he'll likely spend at least a chunk of his rookie season on the bench.Source: ESPN
Lions Not Worried About Offense Without Ben Johnson
4 days agoThe Detroit Lions have finished as a top-five total offense in each of the last three seasons under offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who departed this offseason to become the head coach of the Chicago Bears. While there will certainly be changes under new play-caller John Morton, head coach Dan Campbell believes the team will not regress on the offensive side of the ball. "This is a Detroit Lion offense, is what it is. This offense is Jared Goff, (Amon-Ra) St. Brown, (Jahmyr) Gibbs, (David) Montgomery," Campbell said. "It's Frank (Ragnow); it's (Penei) Sewell; it's (Taylor) Decker. I can keep (going). It's (Jameson Williams). That's what we are. (The players are) the ones who make it what it is. That's our playbook, those guys." While there could be growing pains early in the season, Campbell is right, and the offense has plenty of talent across the entire starting lineup to continue to produce at a high level for fantasy football.Source: NFL.com
