ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports DT Jonah Williams is expected to sign with the Vikings.

19 March 2024

Williams recorded 49 tackles and two sacks while starting 16 of 17 games with the Rams in 2023. The three-year veteran played as a depth player during his first two years in the league but managed to carve out a starting role in his final season with the Rams. Williams should compete with Jonathan Bullard for the starting defensive end gig in Minnesota, the latter of whom signed a one-year, $1.318 million contract with the Vikings earlier this offseason.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports OT Trent Brown will visit with the Bengals on Tuesday.

19 March 2024

The Bengals again find themselves in need of veteran help along their offensive line after Jonah Williams departed for Arizona earlier this offseason. Brown played the last three seasons in New England, starting 33 games across 37 appearances for the Patriots. The nine-year veteran tackle has performed extremely well when healthy throughout his career but has also struggled to stay on the field, playing more than 11 games just once in the previous five seasons.

Lions signed OG Kevin Zeitler to a one-year contract.

18 March 2024

The 12-year veteran made his first Pro Bowl appearance in 2023 as a member of the Ravens. Zeitler has started 181 games across 182 professional appearances and brings size and veteran savvy to a retooled Lions offensive line. It remains to be seen whether or not Zeitler displaces Graham Glasgow on the right side or Kayode Awosika on the left side, but Zeitler has played almost exclusively right guard during his illustrious career.

49ers signed QB Joshua Dobbs to a one-year contract.

18 March 2024

The four-year veteran joins his fifth NFL franchise and should immediately become the primary backup behind quarterback Brock Purdy in San Francisco. Another wonderlic test standout, Dobbs should make any transition at quarterback less involved for the 49ers should Purdy miss any time in 2024. That said, Dobbs displayed issues with ball security with the Vikings and Cardinals last season, something that likely kept him from earning a starting gig with another team this offseason.

Panthers agreed to terms with OT Yosuah Nijman.

18 March 2024

The 6' 7" tackle started 22 of 67 games across four seasons with the Packers and brings needed depth to the exterior offensive line for the Panthers. The Packers have had no shortage of turnover throughout their offensive line this offseason, making it likely we see the franchise use multiple early picks in the 2024 NFL Draft on big men.

Seahawks signed OG Tremayne Anchrum.

18 March 2024

Anchrum marks the third offensive lineman signed by the Seahawks this offseason, joining center Nick Harris and tackle George Fant. Seattle appears to be making their intentions clear under head coach Mike Macdonald and offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb after failing to live up to expectations in 2023. Anchrum should compete for a starting interior offensive line position in camp and preseason.

Cowboys agreed to terms with RB Rico Dowdle.

18 March 2024

We’re less than a week into the new league year, but Dowdle’s return could prove important for fantasy purposes. While it’s possible the Cowboys will use an early pick on a running back in the draft, the free agent market has already seen its top players sign with new teams. Dowdle, who totaled 505 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns as Tony Pollard’s backup, could be asked to play a larger role in 2024. It’s too early to suggest Dowdle would be anything more than a fringe RB3/RB4 ...

Raiders agreed to terms with RB Alexander Mattison, formerly of the Vikings.

18 March 2024

Mattison’s visit with the Raiders apparently went well, as the two sides are reportedly set to join forces for this season. Mattison rushed for 700 scoreless yards last season, but the real winner in this deal may be Zamir White. Josh Jacobs is in Green Bay, and while Mattison has proven to be a solid backup, he shouldn’t threaten White for significant touches. Assuming the Raiders don’t invest major draft capital at running back, White will have high-end RB2 upside, with Mattison serving ...

Saints agreed to terms with EDGE Chase Young, formerly of the 49ers, to a one-year contract.

18 March 2024

Young’s contract is fully guaranteed, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. The former No. 2 overall pick split time with the Commanders and 49ers last season and finished the year with 25 tackles, 7.5 sacks, and seven TFLs. The 2020 Defensive Rookie of the Year has dealt with a torn ACL and questions about his efforts on and off the field in recent years, but now has a chance to begin anew in New Orleans. Pairing with veteran Cameron Jordan, Young will look to bolster a Saints pass rush that r ...

Saints agreed to terms with EDGE Chase Young, formerly of the 49ers, to a one-year, $13 million contract.

18 March 2024

Young’s contract is fully guaranteed. The former No. 2 overall pick split time with the Commanders and 49ers last season and finished the year with 25 tackles, 7.5 sacks, and seven TFLs. The 2020 Defensive Rookie of the Year has dealt with a torn ACL and questions about his efforts on and off the field in recent years, but now has a chance to begin anew in New Orleans. Pairing with veteran Cameron Jordan, Young will look to bolster a Saints pass rush that ranked 29th in total sacks (34) last s ...

Buccaneers agreed to terms with CB Tavierre Thomas, formerly of the Texans, on a one-year contract.

18 March 2024

Thomas visited with the Buccaneers last week and has now agreed to a one-year deal. The former Texan appeared in nine games last season, missing four games with a broken hand. The veteran corner did not appear in the Texans’ final four regular season games and didn’t appear in either of their two playoff games. Thomas earned a PFF coverage grade of 69.5 last season and allowed 32 receptions for 331 yards and one touchdown on 39 targets.

Chargers agreed to terms with C Bradley Bozeman, formerly of the Panthers, on a one-year contract.

18 March 2024

Bozeman started all 17 games for the Panthers last season but was released earlier this month despite signing a three-year, $18 million contract extension last offseason. A former sixth-round pick by the Ravens in 2018, Bozeman has carved out a solid NFL career through his first six years in the league and now gets to team up another Harbaugh in Los Angeles. He earned a PFF blocking grade of 62.2 last year and was credited with allowing a career-high eight sacks on 32 pressures — also a career ...

Bleacher Report’s Jordan Schultz reports free agent S Julian Blackmon is scheduled to meet with the Bills.

18 March 2024

Buffalo already lost safety Jordan Poyer to the Dolphins, and Micah Hyde is currently a free agent who seems unlikely to return to the team. According to Schultz, Blackmon “has several suitors” this free agency cycle after he totaled four interceptions, 88 tackles, and five TFLs in 2023 while also breaking up eight passes. It was a career year for Blackmon, who will be 26 at the start of next season and could make an immediate impact on a defense desperate for help in the secondary. Blackmon ...

Broncos signed LB Cody Barton, formerly of the Commanders, to a one-year contract.

18 March 2024

In his lone season with the Commanders, Barton totaled 121 tackles and one interception in 13 games but earned a PFF defensive grade of 53.9. While Barton has compiled 100-plus tackles in each of his last two seasons, the veteran linebacker hasn’t proven to be a high-impact player and has struggled at times in coverage and against the run. Barton could slot in as a starter when needed, but he probably shouldn’t be counted on to lead a defense.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports free agent OT David Bakhtiari is planning to play in 2024.

18 March 2024

According to Rapoport, Bakhtiari is “diligently rehabbing and is focused on returning to play.” Credit to the veteran lineman for continuously battling to to get back on the field, but it goes without saying that Bakhtiari has been working to return from the same devastating knee injury that ended his 2020 campaign. Bakhtiari has played in only 13 games since 2021 and played in one game in both 2021 and 2023. Set to turn 33 in September, Bakhtiari’s age, coupled with his injury, may prove ...

Dolphins agreed to terms with OL Jack Driscoll, formerly of the Eagles.

18 March 2024

Driscoll played in 54 games with the Eagles over the last four seasons while making 17 starts. He’ll presumably start the season with the Dolphins as a player with positional flexibility who adds depth across the interior and exterior part of the line but he could play his way into a role if he impresses in camp or if another player struggles.

Leighton Vander Esch retired from the NFL after six seasons.

18 March 2024

Due to medical concerns over a neck injury, Vander Esch, who was a Pro Bowler and Second-team All-Pro in 2018, has opted to call it a career. The former first-round pick, who turned 28 in February, was limited to only five games in 2023 due to his neck injury and has battled neck injuries dating back to his days at Boise State. Vander Esch totaled 469 tackles, 13 TFLs, and 3.5 sacks for his career and had signed a two-year deal with the Cowboys last offseason after playing in 14 games.

Bills signed CB Taron Johnson to a three-year, $31 million contract extension.

18 March 2024

Johnson is now the NFL’s highest-paid nickel back, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Now under contract through the 2027 season, Johnson, who was named as a Second-team All-Pro last season, will be one of the more veteran players in a Bills secondary that recently released safety Jordan Poyer and cornerback Tre’Davious White and appears unlikely to re-sign safety Micah Hyde. Johnson received a PFF coverage grade of 81.7 for his efforts last season and allowed 60 receptions for 480 yards and three ...

Bleacher Reports Jordan Schultz reports free agent RB Alexander Mattison is meeting with the Raiders.

18 March 2024

The Raiders need a backup behind Zamir White, which is a role Mattison should have no trouble occupying. His lone season as a starter didn’t go well last season, as the five-year vet rushed for 700 scoreless yards while averaging 3.9 YPC and added another 30-192-3 through the air. Mattison hasn’t averaged more than 3.9 YPC in any of his last three seasons but has proven serviceable as a backup when needed. Schultz said “multiple teams” are in play for Mattison’s services, so it’s pos ...

Dolphins agreed to terms with OL Isaiah Wynn on a one-year contract.
