The Athletic’s Matt Barrows believes “the 49ers’ first OTAs practice on May 27 might be an unofficial marker” for Brandon Aiyuk’s release.

29 April 2026

The 49ers are currently sitting on Aiyuk’s contract, which now has all of its future guarantees voided. They have reportedly been looking for a trade partner, though there’s no chance a team trades for a player whom the 49ers GM John Lynch himself has said is done with the team. Aiyuk is currently on the reserve/left squad list, meaning the 49ers don’t have to pay him anything right now. He could force their hand by showing up to OTAs. In Barrows’ cutting words, “Maybe Aiyuk’s most e ...

Texans signed LB Azeez Al-Shaair to a three-year contract extension.

29 April 2026

Al-Shaair was set to play out the final year of his current contract this season. Instead, Houston keeps him locked in with a long-term deal. Al-Shaair has been with the Texans for two years, starting all 27 regular season games he has been active for. In 2025, Al-Shaair totaled two interceptions, one forced fumble, and a team-high 103 combined tackles.

Browns WR KC Concepcion said he wants to “build a connection” with QB Shedeur Sanders.

29 April 2026

Concepcion, taken by the Browns with the 24th pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, said he visited with Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes when he transferred schools following his sophomore season at NC State. “He’s a great guy, a great leader,” Concepcion said of Sanders. “I just can’t wait to build that relationship and build that connection with him.” That Concepcion is excited about playing with Sanders in Cleveland could be noteworthy as Sanders competes with Deshaun Watson — coming o ...

Browns executive vice president JW Johnson said QB Deshaun Watson “looks healthy.”

29 April 2026

“Deshaun looks great by the way, he’s done a great job, he looks healthy, he’s in a great head space,” Johnson said during a Wednesday radio interview, acknowledging an “ongoing competition” between Watson and other Cleveland QBs, including, presumably, Shedeur Sanders. “If [Watson] is our starting quarterback, I know there are people who won’t be supportive. But they should be supportive as much as they can.” Watson, 30, is coming off who torn Achilles tendons and is slated to ...

Former Broncos S Justin Simmons retired from the NFL after nine seasons.

29 April 2026


NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Broncos QB Bo Nix underwent “a successful and anticipated follow-up clean-up procedure on his ankle.’

29 April 2026

Nix had a schedule re-check of his ankle with Dr. Norman Waldrop last week, during which Rapoport reports he had a clean-up procedure. The 26-year-old initially broke is ankle in the Broncos’ divisional round victory and has been progressing as schedule in his recovery. The Broncos are expected to be conservative with Nix’s participation in the team’s offseason program but Rapoport adds he is “firmly on track to be ready for the start of training camp.”

Titans President of Football Operations Chad Brinker announced he is stepping down.

29 April 2026

The Titans are in for more shakeup in their front office as Brinker steps down. The 46-year-old spent 13 years in the Packers’ organization before joining the Titans as assistant general manager in 2023, followed by two seasons as the team’s president of football operations. Tennessee had already re-structured the front office, with general manager Mike Borgonzi reporting directly to ownership while new head coach Robert Saleh would report to Borgonzi. Brinker said he has a “renewed convic ...

Falcons released P Trenton Gill.

28 April 2026

Gill was signed by the Falcons to a reserve/future deal in January. He is a former seventh-round pick of the Bears and spent two years in Chicago, followed by a half-season punting for the Buccaneers. Gill did not punt at all in 2025 and now hits free agency again as the Falcons move forward with Jake Bailey as the punter on their roster.

Lions exercised RB Jahmyr Gibbs’ fifth-year option for 2027.

28 April 2026

Gibbs will be under contract for $14.23 million in 2027 per OverTheCap’s projections. Gibbs and the Lions will undoubtedly continue to discuss a long-term extension over the summer and perhaps in to training camp, with Gibbs and Bijan Robinson expected to reset the market at the running back position. Gibbs and Robinson, coincidentally, are the two most obvious 1.1 candidates in most fantasy football leagues.

Lions declined to pick up LB Jack Campbell’s fifth-year option.

28 April 2026

The fifth-year option and franchise tag grouping of positions strikes again. Campbell would have received $21.9 million if Detroit picked up the option due to the amount of pure EDGE players that are factored into the equation — it’s essentially the same reason why the Packers declined Quay Walker’s fifth-year option last year and lost him in free agency. The Lions reportedly were trying to strike a long-term extension with Campbell — this doesn’t seem like a true signal on that so muc ...

Patriots exercised CB Christian Gonzalez’s fifth-year option for 2027.

28 April 2026

Gonzalez will get a one-year, $18.1 million deal for 2027. The Patriots have reportedly been in extension talks with him at various points this offseason, so while nothing has gotten done yet, it’s certainly likely to be a point of discussion ahead of the season. New England’s No. 1 corner has developed into one of the best in the NFL in his first three seasons with the club.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter believes the Eagles will receive a first-round pick for A.J. Brown from the Patriots when the trade “comes together” on June 1.

28 April 2026

“Neither side is committed to it, but both I believe are expected to make it happen ... It’s not going to be hard to get done. The Eagles are open to moving him, the Patriots want him, and I believe in the end it will involve a future first-round draft pick. My guess is 2028,” Schefter told the man who only wears tank tops. It makes sense that the 2027 first-round pick would be off limits as it’s expected to be a much better and deeper draft class. The Athletic’s Chad Graff filed a pos ...

Chargers exercised Quentin Johnston’s fifth-year option for 2027.

28 April 2026

Johnston will make a fully-guaranteed $18 million in 2027. It’s probably a bit rich given his production so far, but not a drastic overpay. GM Joe Hortiz shot down trade rumors about Johnston ahead of the draft and this transaction clearly signals some confidence in him developing further under new OC Mike McDaniel. With very little new in the wideout room, Johnston could be on the WR3/WR4 radar in fantasy in 2026.

The Athletic’s Zack Rosenblatt reports the Jets are hosting Russell Wilson on a visit and are “considering him as an option” to be Geno Smith’s No. 2 quarterback.

28 April 2026

The Jets were tied to other team’s backup quarterbacks for a lot of the offseason, as well as Carson Wentz before Wentz re-signed with the Vikings. This is the resignation stage. Wilson threw for 450 yards and three touchdowns against the Cowboys in Week 2 last year. That actually happened. Also he played some other games that weren’t as good before being benched for Jaxson Dart. On a talent level, there are probably teams with worse backups, but a 37-year-old Russell Wilson probably isn’t ...

Saints signed CB Martin Emerson.

28 April 2026

So it was a good visit today. The Saints needed veteran help, having never filled the void of Alontae Taylor after Taylor signed with the Titans this offseason. Quincy Riley and Isaac Yiadom are also candidates to start for the Saints this year.

Patriots released RB Elijah Mitchell.

28 April 2026

It was almost a three-month stay on New England’s offseason roster. Seventh-rounder Jam Miller appears to have taken Mitchell’s spot on the depth chart, though Terrell Jennings is likely the third back in the pecking order behind Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson.

Titans signed CB Latrell McCutchin Sr.

28 April 2026

The former five-year college player spent the 2021 season at Oklahoma and the 2022 season at USC before transferring to Houston in 2023. McCutchin earned second-team All-Big 12 honors last year, totaling 51 tackles, three TFLs, one sack, one forced fumble and 10 passes defended. He has zero career interceptions. McCutchin, 23, stands 6’2/191 and tested very well at the NFL Scouting Combine. The Titans added a ton of defensive back help this offseason, perhaps enough to keep McCutchin from maki ...

Giants GM Joe Schoen said New York is “comfortable” with Francis Mauigoa’s herniated disc.

28 April 2026

The Athletic’s Dan Duggan reports that the Giants are aware surgery “could eventually be necessary, but they don’t believe it’s a certainty.” He cites Tyler Linderbaum’s 2024 training camp — he missed most of camp but was able to play all 17 games in the regular season. Reading between the lines, we’re expecting Mauigoa’s offseason to be truncated in some way, and Duggan adds it’s possible Mauigoa gets surgery after the season if his back bothers him during his rookie year.

The Athletic’s Dan Duggan reports the Giants were seeking a second-round pick for EDGE Kayvon Thibodeaux during the draft.

28 April 2026

The Saints, who were rumored to be interested in Thibodeaux before instead pivoting to a deal for Raiders EDGE Tyree Wilson, were only offering a fourth-round pick. The Giants truly have an embarrassment of pass-rushing riches right now, but we agree with them that there’s probably little reason for them to deal Thibodeaux for a Day 3 pick. Thibodeaux enters his fifth-year option offseason as a likely deadline trade candidate if the right value can be found.

Colts signed DT Cameron Ball.

28 April 2026

Ball was one of the few Razorbacks who didn’t completely disappoint in 2025, as he started all 11 games while picking up 4.5 tackles for loss in his redshirt senior season. He was much more productive as a junior, however, with 47 tackles and 1.5 sacks over his 13 games. While there are concerns about his ability to shed blocks, Ball (6’3/310) does have the quickness necessary to not allow said blocks to take place, and there’s enough athleticism to believe he someday could help both again ...
