As NFL Network’s Rich Cimini points out, phase three consists of 10 OTA practices. Saleh said, “Once phase three hits, we’re not anticipating any restrictions from what we can and can’t do with him.” We’d certainly hope that’s the case after Rodgers flirted with the idea of returning before the end of last season, and even found himself placed on the 53-man roster despite being a healthy scratch. Rodgers is still working his way back from a torn Achilles, but the majority of report ...03 May 2024
The team has not yet committed to Daniels — the second overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft — as their Week 1 starter, though it would be a massive upset if Marcus Mariota got the opening day call for Washington. Keim expects Commanders OC Kliff Kingsbury to lean heavily on the rushing attack, which will be led by Austin Ekeler and Brian Robinson. Ekeler is most likely to be the primary pass-catching back while Robinson functions as the team’s early-down back. A lack of passing volume could ...03 May 2024
Claypool in 2023 had four receptions over nine games for the Dolphins after playing his way out of Chicago. He’s never reached the heights of his first couple NFL seasons, when he went for over 800 receiving yards and appeared to be a viable WR2 option. In both Miami and Chicago, Claypool reportedly had effort issues learning the playbook. Heading into his age-26 season, Claypool will look to carve out a role in Buffalo’s wide receiver room, which will be led by some combination of Curtis Sa ...

“Ultimately, he still has to win that job and we’re not just gonna give it away,” Mayo said in a Thursday interview. “And I don’t think Jacoby — the type of player, the type of competitor that he is — is just gonna give it up, either. So, we’ll see what happens in camp.” Mayo said everyone would compete for Week 1 starting duties in training camp. Maye, the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, would have to struggle mightily in camp and during the preseason for the Patriot ...03 May 2024
A 2023 fifth round selection, Gray had just 17 carries for 41 yards as a rookie. The Giants added explosive RB Tyrone Tracy in the fifth round of the 2024 draft, but Duggan suggested Gray would have first crack at operating as the team’s RB2 behind Devin Singletary. For now, Singletary appears to be the clear lead back. Gray and Tracy would likely split backfield duties if Singletary were to miss time in 2024.03 May 2024
Baltimore took Devontez Walker out of North Carolina with the 113th pick in the draft after posting 699 yards and seven touchdowns over eight games in 2023. Jackson, per DeCosta, wanted a big outside wideout at the end of the first round. The team waited until Day Two to take Walker. “Just an explosive guy,” DeCosta said of Walker, who tested well at the NFL Combine. “I think with us, one of the things that we’ve been missing a little bit is that big, linear, outside, field-stretcher typ ...03 May 2024
Just days after acquiring Franklin-Myers from the Jets, the Broncos have given him a new deal to keep him with the team through 2025. The veteran defense end, who totaled 33 tackles and 3.5 sacks last season, will reportedly receive $7.9 million in guaranteed money. Franklin-Myers is a valued pass rusher and run stuffer along the interior. He’s totaled 14.5 sacks over the last three seasons and 154 pressures per PFF. He should provide plenty of punch to Denver’s interior.03 May 2024
It’s not a surprise for a former No. 28 overall pick who has been limited by injury to just 15 in three years. That includes two in 2023 as he battled a toe issue. Already 25, Turner isn’t particularly young for a player entering the final season of his rookie deal. Turner hasn’t registered a sack since 2022, and has only three for his career.03 May 2024
NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports it’s worth “up to” $5 million. Although Chark is coming off a quiet campaign for the cellar-dwelling Panthers, it is a much-needed addition for the Chargers’ nonexistent receiver depth. Unless Quentin Johnston takes an unexpected step forward, Chark should immediately slot in as the Chargers’ No. 1 outside wideout. He could develop some WR4 appeal with Justin Herbert even if the Bolts go mega run heavy. Chark’s addition isn’t a huge concern for ...02 May 2024
The 2016 second-rounder has become something of a journeyman, making 13 appearances and three starts for the Panthers last season after similar 2022 usage in Cleveland. Still on the right side of 30, Jones is landing in a defense whose depth has been tested by injury and salary cap problems. He is the kind of player whom defensive-minded head coach Sean McDermott could make useful for a season.02 May 2024
The Ravens have wasted little time signing their 2024 rookie class. In addition to getting Wiggins under contract, the Ravens also signed OT Roger Rosengarten, CB T.J. Tampa, and S Sanoussi Kane. Wiggins is an undersized but speedy corner who will help solidify a secondary that’s led by 27-year-old Marlon Humphrey and a rising star in safety Kyle Hamilton. Wiggins won’t be tasked with CB1 duties as long as Humphrey is healthy and has a chance to bolster an already solid Ravens secondary.02 May 2024
Paye has shown steady improvement over each of his first three years in the league and posted career highs in tackles (52) and sacks (8.5) last season. The Colts selected Paye with the No. 21 overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft and have reaped the early benefits of that pick. Paye has totaled 18.5 sacks in his career, along with 29 TFLs. For a player who was considered a raw talent after making just 19 college starts, the sky continues to be the limit for Paye, who could be in for a career-year i ...02 May 2024
As ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler points out, this was to be expected. Farley has played in just 12 games since 2021 and missed all of 2023 with a back injury that has plagued him since 2022. He also suffered a torn ACL in 2021. We haven’t received much word on Farley’s status heading into 2024, but could hear something closer to training camp.02 May 2024
NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo was the first to report the decision, noting that despite a solid rookie year, a recent string of injuries to Stokes likely factored into the decision to decline the option. Stokes played in only two games for the Packers last season, opening the year on the PUP list before finally being activated in late October. A hamstring injury would land him on IR four days later, but he would return to play in Weeks 15 and 16 before the same injury sidelined him for the regul ...02 May 2024

Anything is possible, but this is a tough one to buy into. In his second year in the league, Pierce lost his starting gig to Devin Singletary and finished the year with a 145-416-2 line while averaging 2.9 YPC — a number that feels almost impossible for any running back to hit. The Texans didn’t bring back Singletary, instead opting to trade for Joe Mixon on March 13th and sign him to a three-year, $27 million extension through 2026. Pierce will undoubtedly get his opportunities, but it’s ...02 May 2024
A rough 2023 was made worse for Jones when he suffered a torn ACL in November. He then sat through an entire offseason wondering if the Giants would replace him despite signing a four-year, $160 million extension with them a year ago. Instead of drafting a new quarterback, the Giants opted to go with wide receiver Malik Nabers, who, in short order, should become Jones’ No. 1 weapon in the passing game. Jones should be ready at or close to the time training camp starts up for the Giants if all ...
