ESPN’s Jordan Reid believes Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq is “a real possibility” for the Buccaneers at pick No. 15.

09 April 2026

The Buccaneers have reportedly “keyed in” on tight end and defensive end as positional options in the first round. The Buccaneers re-signed TE Cade Otton to a three-year, $30 million contract this offseason. He is not a high-end receiving tight end, but he could eat into Sadiq’s snap share as a blocker. The receiving corps is currently in flux, though. There are worse landing spots for Sadiq.

The Athletic’s Daniel Popper believes Georgia WR Zachariah Branch could be “the missing ingredient” in Chargers OC Mike McDaniel’s scheme.

09 April 2026

Popper begins by saying that the Chargers are excited to see their incumbent wide receivers in McDaniel’s new system, but thinks they need “a shifty, speedy, YAC weapon.” Branch fits the bill. He ran a 4.35-second 40 at the NFL Scouting Combine, possessing “dynamic speed and the linear twitch to threaten the defense before and after the catch.” That said, among the 93 targets he earned in 2025, 46 were screen passes. He will likely need time to develop as a route runner, regardless of ...

ESPN’s Jordan Reid said the Jets are “reported to be extremely high on” Indiana WR Omar Cooper Jr.

09 April 2026

Per Reid, the team views him " as an ideal complementary WR2 to Garrett Wilson.” Although the Jets are doing their homework on quarterback prospects, some reports indicate that they are not interested in drafting a quarterback in the first round. Reid adds to that idea, telling readers not to be surprised if the Jets refrain from using any of their three picks in the Nos. 1-33 range on a quarterback. The Jets “are expected to be aggressive in boosting their wide receivers room.”

ESPN’s Matt Miller believes the Raiders might use the No. 36 overall pick on “a wide receiver or a right tackle, depending on who’s available.”

09 April 2026

Miller says the Raiders’ No. 1 overall pick will be Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza. The Raiders will then use their early-season-round pick to “support” their rookie quarterback. He notes that Washington WR Denzel Boston has been “connected” to the Raiders already. Miller’s colleague, Ryan McFadden chimes in to say that reuniting Mendoza with Indiana WR Elijah Sarratt “would also be ideal.”

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that the Vikings, Buccaneers, Bears and Eagles will host Ole Miss WR De’Zhaun Stribling for top-30 visits.

09 April 2026

Stribling, a five-year college player, ran a 4.36-second 40 at the NFL Scouting Combine. He caught a career-high 55 passes while producing 811 yards and six touchdowns in his final college season. He spent two seasons apiece at Washington State and Oklahoma State before heading to Ole Miss. His speed and size (6'2/207) will intrigue some front offices.

NC State TE Justin Joly will make top-30 visits with the Panthers, Dolphins and Titans.

09 April 2026

He will meet with the Panthers today and the other two teams next week. Joly has already had top-30 visits with the Bills, Broncos and Chiefs. Joly, 21, was an efficient player at both UConn (2022-2023) and NC State (2024-2025). He caught 47-of-66 targets for 468 yards and seven touchdowns last year, leading his team in both targets and receptions. The Athletic’s Dane Brugler ranks him fifth in the 2026 rookie class, positionally.

Browns EDGE Myles Garrett skipped the start of the team’s offseason program, putting him on track to lose a $1 million workout bonus.

09 April 2026

Per NBC Sports’ Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, Garrett’s bonus is fully guaranteed, but Garrett must still earn it. To do so, Garrett “must participate in 84.375 percent of the offseason workout sessions, participate in all minicamps, participate in all OTA days, and timely report to training camp.” Garrett is set to make an average of $40 million per year, but potentially giving up $1 million is still a bit surprising. The front office restructured his contract earlier this offseaso ...

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Arizona State WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring) will hold his own individual workout day for NFL teams on Friday, April 17th.

09 April 2026

The workout will take place at Arizona State. Tyson is currently projected as a first-round pick. The former Sun Devil missed three games last year due to a recurring right hamstring injury. He then reportedly suffered another hamstring injury while training for the NFL Scouting Combine. Some reports indicate that the most recent hamstring injury is in his left leg. He broke his collarbone in 2024 and tore his ACL, MCL and PCL in 2022. Health concerns are the biggest knock on the talented, young ...

NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports that there are “no new issues or concerns” for Miami OT Francis Mauigoa (back) following Combine Rechecks.

09 April 2026

Mauigoa attended Combine Rechecks today to undergo additional imaging on a minor back issue that caused discomfort late last season. Per Garafolo, Mauigoa visited with teams possessing draft picks in the top third of the first round after the recheck request was made in early March. He takes this as a sign of Mauigoa’s confidence that “any concerns would be satisfied” by the recheck. It appears as though Mauigoa is all good and has a chance to be drafted early in the first round later this ...

Jaguars GM James Gladstone said Travis Hunter (knee) will be “a limited participant” throughout the offseason workouts with the hope that he will be ready to practice in full during training camp.

09 April 2026

Hunter is recovering from season-ending knee surgery that cut his rookie season short. Liam Coen told reporters a few weeks ago that Hunter was “well ahead of where he’s supposed to be.” That’s a good sign, but it does sound like the Jags will be ramping Hunter up slowly during the offseason. That could prevent him from expanding his role as a receiver early in the regular season, though training camp will be more telling on that front. For now, fantasy managers should take a cautious ap ...

Panthers hosted Washington WR Denzel Boston for a visit.

09 April 2026

Boston has been a busy man during the draft cycle, taking trips to San Francisco, Pittsburgh, Cleveland, Miami, Vegas, and now Carolina. As ESPN’s Field Yates notes, the Panthers may be targeting Boston for his history with Washington head coach Jedd Fisch. Tetarioa McMillan played under Fisch at Arizona and went on to win Offensive Rookie of the Year with the Panthers. Boston went for 881 yards and 11 scores on 62 grabs last year. After a brief appearance in the playoffs, the Panthers current ...

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq visited the Browns Wednesday.

09 April 2026

Sadiq will potentially be the top tight end off the board in this year’s draft; he is a candidate to go at any point in the first round. The athletic 21-year-old would fit in as a key pass-catcher for a Browns team that could use help anywhere on offense, but Harold Fannin Jr. is the current incumbent at the position. A dual-TE offense with Sadiq and Fannin is possible and the Browns are at least doing their due diligence on the matter. Cleveland holds picks No. 6 and No. 24 in the draft.

Texans exercised the fifth-year option for QB C.J. Stroud.

08 April 2026

Stroud, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, had his fifth-year option picked up by the Texans. He will get $25.904 million in 2027 and is now extension-eligible. The 24-year-old got off to a fast start as a rookie, but stumbled the past two seasons. Last seen on a football field throwing four interceptions in the Divisional Round, Stroud still needs to sustain success beyond putting up fine numbers in the regular season. The Texans don’t have to commit to him long-term just yet, but ...

Texans exercised the fifth-year option for EDGE Will Anderson.

08 April 2026

Anderson has been a star pass rusher since being drafted No. 3 overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. He totaled 23 sacks over the past two seasons and was a First-Team All-Pro in 2025. With the fifth-year option, Anderson is now set to make $21.512 million in 2027. The Texans will certainly want to extend the 24-year-old as a cornerstone of the defense, but they get him under contract for an additional year for now. Anderson will be headed to reset the pass-rushing market with a prospective extension.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Miami OT Francis Mauigoa “has decided to be at Combine Rechecks on Friday for additional imaging on a minor back issue.”

08 April 2026

Per Rapoport, the issue caused him some discomfort late in Miami’s run to the National Championship game, though it never cost him any time. He is not considered a candidate for offseason surgery and performed the normal battery of tests and drills at Miami’s Pro Day. Still, the fact that surgery is even being talked about has likely given some teams pause. In turn, Mauigoa will undergo imaging for a disc issue during his recheck. Mauigoa could be a top-10 pick if all goes well.

Falcons signed RT Jawaan Taylor, formerly of the Chiefs, to a one-year, $5 million contract.

08 April 2026

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the deal includes another $1 million in incentives. The move comes less than an hour after Falcons right tackle Kaleb McGary announced his retirement. Taylor was cut by the Chiefs for cap reasons this offseason but is still a capable starter, which is more than enough for a Falcons team now in search of McGary’s replacement. The move also puts less pressure on the Falcons, who are without their first-round pick this year, to address tackle during the draft.

Saints exercised DT Bryan Bresee’s fifth-year team option for 2027.

08 April 2026

The former No. 29 overall pick tallied 4.5 sacks as a part-time player in 2023. He then upped that total to 7.5 in his second season while also playing more snaps. Bresee followed up the breakout campaign with just 2.5 sacks on 30 pressures last year. He also missed two games with a knee injury at the end of the season. Picking up his fifth-year option means the Saints are counting on a return to form for Bresee in the upcoming season.

Falcons RT Kaleb McGary announced his retirement from the NFL after six seasons.

08 April 2026

The former No. 31 overall pick played in Atlanta for six seasons. He missed the 2025 season after suffering an undisclosed leg injury during training camp. Head coach Kevin Stefanski said last month that McGary should be “good to go” for training camp, so it’s unclear if his abrupt retirement is related to the knee issue. McGary made 92 starts for the Falcons over his six seasons and was consistently one of the league’s best run-blocking right tackles.

Giants signed OT Daniel Faalele, formerly of the Ravens.

08 April 2026

Harbaugh won’t be satisfied until every player he coached over his 18 years in Baltimore is on the Giants’ roster. A former fourth-round pick of the Ravens, Faalele was drafted as a tackle but eventually switched to right guard, where he served as the team’s starter for the past two seasons. Faalele didn’t receive much interest in free agency and will be penciled in for a depth role in New York.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports Texas A&M WR KC Concepcion is visiting with the Browns.

08 April 2026

Concepcion already has top-30 visits with the Dolphins and Raiders on the books. While he isn’t in play for the Browns with their No. 6 overall pick, Cleveland also holds the 24th-overall pick, which they got from the Jags last year. That would be a reasonable spot to take Concepcion. The former Aggie went for 919 yards and nine scores in 2025. He also added a rushing touchdown and two punt return scores to the books in his final season of college ball. Concepcion’s versatility and elite pla ...
