1 min agoThe Dallas Cowboys are reportedly making a push to sign free-agent wide receiver
Cooper Kupp. At first glance, the Cowboys seemed to emerge as favorites considering they have the cap space and need for a standout wideout such as Kupp. Despite that, the Cowboys are not being considered the likely landing spot for the All-Pro receiver. There have been a handful of teams mentioned to be in the mix for Kupp such as the Saints, Jaguars, Seahawks, and Broncos. It doesn't sound like Kupp wants to draw out this process, so he should decide relatively soon. Kupp hasn't played a full season since 2021, but is still an above average receiver when healthy. The combination of
CeeDee Lamb and Kupp in Dallas is a nice thought on paper, but doesn't seem extremely likely to happen right now.

9 mins agoThe Buffalo Bills have signed free-agent wide receiver/kicker returner
Laviska Shenault Jr. to an undisclosed deal. Shenault most recently played 12 games between the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Chargers last season. He hasn't done much in the receiving game with five receptions for 36 yards over those 12 games last season. Shenault is better known for his kick returning ability as he averaged nearly 30 yards per return in 2024. He is still capable of making the occasional slash play on offense, but will likely be used mainly as a returner in Buffalo.

20 mins agoChicago Bears offensive guard Jonah Jackson has signed an extension with the organization. The two sides have agreed on a one-year extension that will keep Jackson in Chicago through 2027. Jackson will receive all $17.5 million he was slated to earn this season. His salary will increase to $7 million with a $5.25 million for injury. Jackson was acquired by the Bears earlier this month from the Los Angeles Rams in exchange for a sixth-round pick. He only started in four games with the Rams last season, but before that Jackson was an All-Pro with the Detroit Lions. On paper, this certainly appears to be a solid upgrade to the Bears offensive line.

29 mins agoThe Minnesota Vikings are reportedly seriously discussing the possibility of signing quarterback
Aaron Rodgers. The Vikings appear to be committed to
J.J. McCarthy as their future starter, but they'd like to add another capable option in case the former first-round pick isn't ready yet. Rodgers has already received interest from both the Pittsburgh Steelers and New York Giants. Now, the Vikings appear ready to throw their hat in the mix. The difference with the Vikings is that Rodgers wouldn't have to commit to being the full-time starter for the entire season. McCarthy would likely take over at some point, but having a veteran like Rodgers could be helpful.

37 mins agoThe Dallas Cowboys are reportedly making a push to sign free-agent wide receiver
Cooper Kupp. The 31-year-old wideout was recently released by the Los Angeles Rams after the team failed to find a trade partner for him. The Cowboys have over $40 million in cap space and a need for a No. 2 wideout behind
CeeDee Lamb. There is likely going to be plenty of teams in the mix for Kupp, but the Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks seem like the favorites. Last season, Kupp hauled in 67 receptions for 710 yards and six touchdowns across 12 games with the Rams. Kupp hasn't played a full season since 2021, but he can still be a viable option in plenty of offenses.

11 hours agoThe Athletic's Dianna Russini and Zack Rosenblatt write that New York Jets wide receiver
Garrett Wilson will be the no-doubt No. 1 target in this offense in 2025 and should have a big season as he reunites with quarterback
Justin Fields, who he played with in college at Ohio State. As a freshman for the Buckeyes in 2020 with Fields at QB, Wilson caught 50 passes for 729 yards and seven touchdowns. Fields' ability to run the football should make life easier on running back
Breece Hall. Not only does Wilson have prior history and chemistry with Fields, but the primary thing that will make Wilson's fantasy ceiling higher in 2025 is the fact that receiver
Davante Adams is out of town. Fields can definitely stand to improve as a passer, but even if he doesn't, Wilson should eat and be a surefire WR1 target in fantasy drafts this fall.

11 hours agoDespite reports that have connected free-agent wide receiver
Cooper Kupp to the Jacksonville Jaguars, sources have told FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz that the Jaguars are not interested. Sources also tell Schultz that the sense around the NFL is that the former Los Angeles Rams wideout doesn't plan on having a drawn-out free-agent process and prefers to make his decision quickly. The 31-year-old veteran reportedly has interest from at least five teams, with the Boston Sports Journal's Mike Giardi saying that the New England Patriots are one of those teams. It's believed that Kupp prefers to stay on the West Coast, though, and a league source told Giardi that Kupp's current asking price is "insane" compared to where he's at in his career. The former third-rounder can still play a key role on offense, but serious lower-body injuries in recent seasons have sapped him of the elite athleticism that helped him earn the NFL's receiving Triple Crown in 2021.

11 hours agoThe Indianapolis Colts announced on Thursday that they have signed free-agent kicker
Spencer Shrader to an undisclosed deal. Shrader will return to Indianapolis after making all three of his extra points in the Week 1 loss to the division-rival Houston Texans. The 25-year-old also appeared in games with the New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs in his first year in the NFL in 2024, going a combined 5-for-5 on field-goal attempts (zero attempts from 50-plus yards) and 9-for-9 on extra-point tries. Shrader didn't miss a single kick, but it was also a small sample size. He was brought in to compete with veteran
Matt Gay this summer after Gay made just 83.8 percent of his 37 field-goal attempts in his second year with the team. Whoever wins the competition should be left to the waiver wire in 12-team fantasy leagues.

11 hours agoThe Detroit Lions agreed to terms with veteran free-agent quarterback
Kyle Allen on Thursday on an undisclosed deal, a source tells NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Allen will head back to the NFC after spending the 2024 campaign as the No. 3 signal-caller for the Pittsburgh Steelers behind both
Russell Wilson and
Justin Fields. The 29-year-old will now join a Lions quarterback room that already includes starter
Jared Goff,
Hendon Hooker and
Jake Fromm. Allen will likely be competing with Hooker for the No. 2 role in training camp this summer. The former undrafted free agent is now on his sixth different team as he heads into his eighth NFL season. Allen began his career in 2018 with the Carolina Panthers and has completed 62.7% of his 705 career attempts for 4,753 yards, 26 touchdowns and 21 interceptions.

11 hours agoFormer Las Vegas Raiders running back
Alexander Mattison is signing an undisclosed deal on Thursday with the Miami Dolphins, sources told FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Earlier in the day, former Dolphins RB
Raheem Mostert signed with the Raiders in free agency. The 26-year-old Mattison joined the Raiders in 2024 after spending his first five years in the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings. He eventually took over the lead-back role from a disappointing
Zamir White and carried the ball 132 times for 420 yards and four touchdowns (a career-low 3.2 yards per tote) in 14 games (seven starts), adding a career-high 36 catches for 294 yards and another score. Mattison's move to Miami is a big downgrade, as he'll merely be competing for a change-of-pace role with
Jaylen Wright behind unquestioned starter
De'Von Achane. He'll be avoidable in most fantasy drafts this fall.

12 hours agoThe Los Angeles Chargers and backup quarterback
Taylor Heinicke agreed to a one-year contract extension worth up to $6.2 million on Thursday, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Heinicke will return to L.A. for a second season to back up starter
Justin Herbert. In his first year with the Chargers in 2024, Heinicke only saw action in four games (no starts) and went only 3-for-5 for 28 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. The 31-year-old former undrafted free agent out of Old Dominion has already played for five different NFL teams in his seven years in the league. His best year came in 2021 with the Washington Commanders, when he played in 16 games (15 starts) and threw for 3,419 yards, 20 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. Heinicke has started 29 games in his seven seasons, but he's unlikely to see much work again in 2025 behind Herbert, who is one of the toughest QBs in football.

14 hours agoESPN's Field Yates reports that the New York Giants hosted free-agent quarterback
Joe Flacco at their facilities on Thursday. Flacco started six games for the Indianapolis Colts in 2024, compiling 1,761 yards and a 12:7 TD:INT ratio in eight total appearances. The news comes as New York also plans to host QB
Russell Wilson on Friday. With
Tommy DeVito as the only signal-caller on the roster, the Giants are casting a wide net in search of their next quarterback, and
Aaron Rodgers is also linked to the team. New York is in an interesting situation, considering they hold the third pick in this year's draft and could also select a field general there. The Giants require a few more pieces than just a QB to become competitive, though. Still, they are doing their due diligence, exploring every potential avenue to improve their roster from a season ago.

14 hours agoNFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that free-agent wide receiver
Olamide Zaccheaus is signing a one-year deal with the Chicago Bears. The amount has not yet been disclosed. The 27-year-old bounced around the NFC East over the prior two seasons, spending time with the Washington Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles. He will link up with his fourth team since joining the Atlanta Falcons as an undrafted free agent in 2019. Zaccheaus notched a career-high with 45 receptions on 63 targets last season while playing with rookie signal-caller
Jayden Daniels and serving as a punt returner for Washington. He projects to slot in as the Bears' third receiver, playing alongside incumbent starters
DJ Moore and
Rome Odunze. Despite the change in scenery, the Virginia alum can be safely avoided sans deep best-ball formats.
