1 week agoThe Indianapolis Colts released kicker
Matt Gay on Thursday, just two seasons after signing him to a big free-agent deal, according to The 33rd Team's Ari Meirov. In his time with the Colts, Gay went 64-for-78 on his field-goal attempts (11-for-22 from 50-plus yards) and made 68 of his 69 extra-point attempts in 33 games. The 31-year-old signed a four-year, $22.5 million deal with Indy before the 2023 season. Gay made 31 of his 37 field-goal tries in 16 regular-season games last year, including only three of his nine attempts from 50-plus yards. While he was pretty consistent in his time with the Colts, it appears his success rate from long range wasn't good enough to keep him around.
Spencer Shrader is currently the kicker on the team's roster, but they'll likely add competition for him heading into training camp this summer.

1 week agoThe Carolina Panthers showed plenty of progress once quarterback
Bryce Young got back on the field in his sophomore year in 2024, and he said he's ready "to continue to build and grow" in 2025. It should help that he'll have the same offensive line, same set of receivers and the same coaching staff. It's the first time the Panthers have gone into a season with the same QB, coach and general manager since 2019, and the stability will be a good thing for Young. The 23-year-old former first overall pick looked like a different signal-caller when he returned as the starter in Week 8, completing 61.8% of his pass attempts for 2,104 yards, 15 touchdowns and six interceptions. He also had game-tying or game-winning drives in six of the final nine games. Young will be a QB2 with upside in fantasy, but he has the ability to take the next step in Year 3.

1 week agoExclusive-rights free-agent tight end
Brady Russell officially signed his tender on Wednesday to return to the Seattle Seahawks for the 2025 season, according to Seahawks.com's John Boyle. Russell will return for his third year with the team after not catching any passes as a tight end in his first two years with the team. Instead, the 26-year-old has appeared exclusively on special teams and has recorded 17 tackles (11 solo) in 26 games played (zero starts) since debuting in 2023. Russell originally went undrafted out of the University of Colorado before latching on with the Seahawks. He will continue to serve as more of a special-teams asset for Seattle heading into training camp this summer. Russel is nowhere near the fantasy radar.

1 week agoUniversity of Iowa running back
Kaleb Johnson had a top-30 visit with the New York Giants on Wednesday, according to his Instagram account. The Giants continue to do their homework on a deep class of running backs with the 2025 NFL draft just around the corner. The Bergen Record's Art Stapleton also reported that Louisville quarterback
Tyler Shough recently visited with the Giants after visiting with the Cleveland Browns.
Tyrone Tracy Jr. took over the lead-back role from
Devin Singletary in his rookie season in 2024 and was impressive with his big-play ability, but he also had fumbling issues and could be asked to share more of the workload in his sophomore season if the G-Men add a notable back in this year's draft. Johnson is more of a powerful, between-the-tackles runner who had 1,537 rushing yards in his final year at Iowa in 2024.

1 week agoUniversity of Alabama quarterback
Jalen Milroe is making the rounds in terms of visits with the 2025 NFL draft just a couple weeks away, as he has upcoming pre-draft visits scheduled with the New York Giants, Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks after meeting with the Cleveland Browns earlier this week, sources told FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Milroe's name has been gaining steam in recent weeks, and he could have his name called by the end of the first round later this month. The Browns are the most QB-needy team mentioned above, but the Giants, Rams and Seahawks could also be eyeing a signal-caller on Day 2 or 3 of the draft that could sit and learn behind a veteran for a year. Similar to Colts QB
Anthony Richardson, who was an early first-round pick several years ago, Milroe's rushing ability is intriguing, but he might be more of a project as a passer.

1 week agoNFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that the Dallas Cowboys have signed offensive lineman Saahdiq Charles to an undisclosed contract. A few days after hosting the free agent, Dallas locks him down. The former fourth-round pick retired last summer during camp with the Tennessee Titans but has officially returned and is back in the NFC East. Charles was drafted by the Washington Commanders in 2020. The 25-year-old spent four seasons with Washington, appearing in 35 games (18 starts) at tackle. He's currently listed behind guard Tyler Smith on the team's unofficial depth chart. Charles joins as the fourth addition to the Cowboys' line this offseason as they attempt to retool their offensive front after the loss of stalwart guard Zack Martin.

1 week agoAri Meirov of The 33rd Team reports that per Sunny Isles Police Department, Miami Dolphins wide receiver
Tyreek Hill has not committed a crime, and the investigation of a domestic incident involving him has already been closed. The veteran was apparently engaged in some domestic dispute on Wednesday with his wife at their high-rise condominium in Sunny Isles Beach, Florida. Exactly what occurred is unclear, but the police were called after Hill reportedly threw a laptop. Fortunately, the 31-year-old was able to avoid trouble, as this would be just another incident in a string of off-the-field issues for him dating back to last year. After a down 2024, Hill's price in fantasy drafts this summer should be lower than in years past. It's possible he's lost a step at his age, but a productive season is very much still in his range of outcomes.

1 week agoThe Cincinnati Bengals signed free-agent linebacker Joe Giles-Harris on Wednesday, according to the team on X. The veteran entered the NFL in 2019 as an undrafted free agent out of Duke and has spent time with five NFL organizations, appearing in 22 games for three of them. Overall, Giles-Harris has accumulated 30 tackles (16 solo), one sack, and one run stuff in his career. He played in three games for the Patriots and two games for the Jaguars a season ago. While he's unlikely to push for meaningful playing time in 2025, he could earn a spot as a special teamer or top reserve linebacker under new defensive coordinator Al Golden.

1 week agoJacksonville Jaguars quarterback
Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) will be limited during OTAs this offseason, but the former No. 1 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft said he is optimistic he will be full-go for training camp. Lawrence underwent offseason shoulder surgery to fix a left AC joint sprain. He missed seven games last season due to shoulder and head injuries, limiting him to 2,045 passing yards and 11 passing touchdowns. The Jaguars are in the middle of a soft roster rebuild under new general manager James Gladstone and head coach Liam Coen.
Brian Thomas Jr. looks like the clear WR1 of the future, but the team will need to address the WR2 and TE spots after moving on from
Christian Kirk and
Evan Engram following the 2025 campaign. Lawrence is unlikely to have QB1 upside in fantasy football next season.

1 week 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.

1 week 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.

1 week 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.

1 week 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).

1 week 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.

1 week 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.
