6 days agoFree-agent offensive lineman Foster Sarell signed a one-year, $1.1 million contract with the Washington Commanders. The 26-year-old signed as an undrafted free agent with the Baltimore Ravens in 2022 but found his way to the Los Angeles Chargers, where he spent the last three seasons. Sarell appeared in 35 games for L.A. (three starts), all at tackle. He's the fourth offensive-line acquisition for the Commanders this offseason, joining new teammates Michael Deiter, Trent Scott, and Nate Herbig as reinforcements on its offensive front. Sarell projects to serve as depth for the team, considering he never eclipsed more than 20% of the Chargers' snap share during his tenure with the squad.

6 days agoThe Miami Dolphins have signed linebacker Willie Gay Jr. to a one-year, $1.33 million deal. The former New Orleans Saint is entering his sixth season after the Kansas City Chiefs took him in the second round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Gay's tackle figure was down in 2024, as he only played on 23.51% of the team's snaps. However, he racked up 88 takedowns, 2.5 sacks, and an interception in 13 starts during the 2022 campaign. The Mississippi State product also started 15 games in 2023 and has spent time on special teams. Gay is slotted in behind fellow linebacker Jordyn Brooks on the team's unofficial depth chart and figures to get a modest snap share this season.

6 days agoThe Seattle Seahawks have signed former Cleveland Browns safety D'Anthony Bell to a one-year, $1.37 million deal. Bell signed with the Browns as an undrafted free agent in 2022, appearing in 50 games over the ensuing three seasons with seven starts for the team. The 28-year-old was more of a special-teams specialist for Cleveland, registering 84.73% of his snaps there, as opposed to just 8.58% on defense. The Georgia native projects to help out during that phase of the game for Seattle and also serves as a depth piece on defense. Bell has made 28 tackles on special teams since joining the league, and his 15 in 2024 ranked fourth in the league.

6 days agoThe Houston Texans are signing former Indianapolis Colts linebacker E.J. Speed to a one-year, $5 million deal on Saturday, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Speed will head to Houston after spending six seasons with the Colts. The 29-year-old former fifth-rounder (164th overall) in 2019 out of Tarleton State had a career year in 2024 in Indy, totaling 142 tackles (93 solo), seven tackles for loss, his first career interception and five passes defensed in 15 starts. Last year was the second straight season that Speed had 100-plus combined tackles, making him a staple in IDP fantasy leagues as he heads into his first year in Houston. Speed hasn't excelled in pass coverage, but he's proven to be a tackling machine and will be a notable addition to the middle of a Texans defense that was quite good overall last year.

6 days agoThe Buffalo Bills and cornerback Christian Benford reached an agreement on a four-year, $76 million contract extension on Saturday, according to Benford's management. Benford will stick around in Buffalo for another four years after Buffalo made him a sixth-round selection (185th overall) in the 2022 NFL draft out of Villanova. The 24-year-old defensive back has continued to improve in each of his first three seasons in the NFL, culminating in a strong performance in 2024 in which he had a career-high 64 tackles (50 solo), his first career sack, two interceptions, 10 pass breakups, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 15 regular-season starts. The Bills are hoping that Benford will continue to improve as a key member of their secondary for years to come. In his three NFL seasons, he has 142 tackles (110 solo), one sack, seven tackles for loss, five interceptions and 25 pass breakups in 39 games (34 starts).

7 days agoThe Detroit Lions announced on Friday that they re-signed offensive lineman Kayode Awosika to an undisclosed deal. Awosika will return to Detroit for his fourth season in 2025 after serving as a rotational offensive lineman with the team since 2022. The 26-year-old offensive guard went undrafted out of Buffalo but made his NFL debut in 2021 with the Philadelphia Eagles, when he appeared in just one game that year. He has started only seven of the 36 games that he's appeared in over his three seasons with the Lions. There's a chance that Awosika could have a bigger role on the interior of the Lions' offensive line in 2025, but he will have to earn more playing time by standing out in training camp this summer and in preseason games.

7 days agoThe New York Jets re-signed exclusive-rights free-agent wide receiver
Irvin Charles (knee) to an undisclosed deal on Friday. Charles will return to the Jets in 2025, although it's highly unlikely he'll be ready for training camp this summer or the start of the regular season after tearing his ACL in Week 14 of last year. The 27-year-old former undrafted free agent appeared in 13 games (no starts) in 2024 and was unable to catch his only target on offense. In his two NFL seasons, he has yet to catch a pass on just two targets over 25 games (no starts), mainly contributing on special teams. Charles logged 212 special-teams snaps last year and will likely resume a similar role at some point next year when he's cleared from his knee injury. He's nowhere near the fantasy radar.

7 days agoThe Green Bay Packers have signed linebacker Kristian Welch to an undisclosed contract. Welch spent 2023 with the Pack but was a member of the Baltimore Ravens for each of his other four seasons in the league. Signing with Baltimore as an undrafted free agent in 2020, Welch played in 43 games over three seasons. He never notched more than four tackles but also contributed on special teams. The Iowa product registered eight tackles in 2024, appearing in 15 games for Green Bay, including both postseason starts for the team. The 26-year-old will have a chance to compete for playing time during camp but figures to be more of a depth piece on defense and an asset on special teams.

7 days agoThe Pittsburgh Steelers have signed linebacker Jeremiah Moon to a one-year contract. The financial details have not been disclosed. Moon appeared in 13 games in 2024 for the team, finishing with two tackles on defense and another seven more on special teams. The former undrafted free agent spent 2022 and 2023 with the Baltimore Ravens, appearing in eight games (one start). The Florida product joins new teammate Malik Harrison as the Steelers' new linebackers. Pittsburgh has done well to sign help for their defensive back end. Still, Moon doesn't project to play much on defense. It's unlikely he holds much of a role outside of special teams, and he probably won't make an impact on fantasy.

7 days agoThe Atlanta Falcons have come to terms with free-agent tight end
Teagan Quitoriano on an undisclosed contract. Quitoriano appeared in seven games for the Houston Texans last season but did not record any catches. The Texans initially selected the 25-year-old in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. That season, he accrued seven receptions, 113 yards, and two touchdowns in nine games. The Oregon State alum has spent time on Injured Reserve in each of the last three seasons. He'll now join a Falcons tight end room that features
Kyle Pitts,
Charlie Woerner, and
Feleipe Franks. Quitoriano will compete for snaps but will likely serve as a depth piece for the team.

7 days agoArizona wide receiver
Tetairoa McMillan, who is regarded as one of the top pass-catchers in this year's NFL draft class, has a top-30 visit scheduled with the Carolina Panthers, a league source told The Athletic's Joe Person. McMillan, 21, is expected to be the first receiver off the board in April's draft, as he has great size (6-foot-4, 219 pounds) and an uncanny ability to high-point the football down the field. Despite the fact that he doesn't have elite speed, plenty of teams, including the Panthers are intrigued about his upside at the next level. Carolina holds the eighth overall pick in the first round of this year's draft, which could be right in the wheelhouse of where teams will begin considering McMillan. If he were to land with the Panthers, McMillan would almost certainly be starting in three-wide sets immediately alongside
Xavier Legette and veteran
Adam Thielen.

7 days agoThe Baltimore Ravens announced on Friday that they reached a three-year contract extension with head coach John Harbaugh. The new deal will keep the 62-year-old in Baltimore through the 2028 season. He was entering the final year of his previous contract that he had signed back in March of 2022, and it will continue a trend of the Ravens not allowing Harbaugh to start a regular season on the final year of his contract since he was initially hired in 2008. He is already the franchise's all-time winningest head coach with a 185-115 record over 17 seasons. His 12 playoff appearances are second-most in the NFL behind KC's Andy Reid (14), and he also led the team to a Super Bowl victory in 2012. Harbaugh is the second-longest tenured coach behind only the Steelers' Mike Tomlin. Although Harbaugh has had plenty of success in Baltimore, the Ravens have only gone past the Divisional Round once since winning the Super Bowl 12 years ago.

1 week agoFOX Sports NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports that the Las Vegas Raiders are signing former Houston Texans linebacker Devin White to a one-year deal. The details of the contract have not been disclosed. The former fifth-overall pick notched 18 tackles in seven games last season (one start). While White's playing time was limited in 2024, he'd previously strung together three straight seasons of 124 or more tackles during his time with the Buccaneers. That included a 140-tackle, nine-sack campaign in 2020. The 27-year-old may not be listed as a starter on the team's depth chart, but he'll be able to compete in camp for playing time. He'll look to bolster a defense that allowed the eighth-most points per game in the league a season ago (25.5).

1 week agoIndianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard reports that he targeted former New York Giants quarterback
Daniel Jones because of his skill set, which is similar to that of teammate
Anthony Richardson. Ballard also notes that the competition between the two will bring out the best in them, and he's excited to work with Jones. "Excited to get Daniel in the building," he said. "I think he's a really good fit for what we want to do, and who he is as a person, and who he can be as a player." Jones and Richardson will battle it out for the starting job this summer. The 27-year-old is far from a lock to win the gig but would present as an upside fantasy option due to his ability as a rusher. Despite Jones holding the lower ceiling of the two options, he has the higher floor as a passer.

1 week agoOn Friday, New England Patriots wide receiver
Stefon Diggs (knee) noted that he's excited to play with quarterback
Drake Maye. "I'm excited. I really look forward to it," Diggs said. The Maryland product was productive in eight games with the Houston Texans in 2024 before an ACL tear derailed his season. Now, he's set to boost the Patriots' passing game and is reportedly on track to be ready for Week 1. New England's leading receiver a season ago was tight end
Hunter Henry (66-674-2), so the 31-year-old enters a favorable situation to garner a significant target share right away if he's healthy. The Patriots have somewhat bolstered their offensive line in free agency but still have some work to do in that aspect. If their front is addressed, affording Maye more time to operate, Diggs could again provide value as a PPR asset, barring a setback in his recovery.
