The Athletic’s Matt Barrows and Vic Tafur report the 49ers don’t owe Brandon Aiyuk any new money until September 1.

05 April 2026

In other words, if an NFL team wants Aiyuk to learn their system this offseason, they can trade for him. “Why would the 49ers do a team that they compete with a favor by handing Aiyuk over for free now? Perhaps they’ll release him after the draft if they can’t find a suitor by then. But San Francisco can wait much longer if it wants to,” write the pair of Athletic 49ers beat writers. From the outside, it sure seems like a way to punish a player that essentially quit on the team last seas ...

The Athletic’s Mike Sando reports several anonymous NFL executives believe A.J. Brown will be traded to the Patriots in June.

05 April 2026

As we feel we have blurbed every week since March started, the salary-cap implications become more tenable for the Eagles to trade Brown after June 1. Sando quotes one executive as saying “It seems just a matter of waiting until June 1 passes for Philly to trade A.J. Brown, who in my opinion is a declining player each of the last three seasons.” Pats coach Mike Vrabel didn’t dismiss any talks for Brown, nor did Eagles GM Howie Roseman say anything but that Brown is “a member of the Eagle ...

Bears coach Ben Johnson said “we need to continue to get the ball in his hands as often as we possibly can” when asked about Luther Burden.

05 April 2026

Burden should be a big beneficiary of the DJ Moore trade. It’s hard to imagine that between his on-field metrics and the target vacuum that he won’t take a major step forward in 2026. The only question is how big that step can be with Colston Loveland and Rome Odunze also seemingly set for major target roles. Burden has a case to go in the top 75 picks and has the upside to crush that ADP.

Titans coach Robert Saleh said “I love our running back room right now.”

05 April 2026

“Shoot, Pollard dropped over 100 on us (last season) so I think he’s pretty good ... Spears has tremendous versatility as a three-down back and they both play with a physical mindset. … I’m a believer in our backfield and I think it’s a group that can help our team,” Saleh continued before saying it was one of the better running back rooms in football. We’ve seen plenty of Jeremiyah Love hype for the Titans this offseason, and perhaps this is just a smoke screen, but Saleh appears ...

Free agent G Kenyon Green is set to visit the Buccaneers on Thursday.

05 April 2026

The first-round bust was with the Eagles and Ravens last year, but did not appear in any regular season games. Still just 25, he’ll be a rehab project wherever he eventually lands.

Browns general manager Andrew Berry “acknowledged that he’ll continue to look for opportunities to trade down” from the No. 6 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

05 April 2026

Berry frequently trades back on, or before, draft day, so this is hardly surprising. Berry adds that if the Browns do end up keeping the pick, he has “no idea what we’re going to take at this point.” The Browns also possess the 24th and 39th picks this year. NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe previously reported that the Browns will likely try to “supplement the offense” by drafting a left tackle and a wide receiver early this season, before “maybe” drafting a quarterback next year. The ...

ESPN’s Ryan McFadden reports Duke DT Josiah Green is “a name to monitor” for the Raiders.

05 April 2026

Per McFadden, Green met with Raiders representatives after his impressive Pro Day showing last week. Green performed very well in the speed, agility and jumping drills. He also tied the Duke Pro Day bench press record with 36 reps. The Raiders representatives expressed their “love for his athleticism” during the meeting. He has also reportedly met with the Eagles, Bears, Steelers and Packers. Green spent 2022-2024 playing at Dartmouth before joining the Blue Devils last year. In 2025, he tot ...

Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer believes the team is set up to draft “the best player available” in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft.

05 April 2026

The Cowboys possess the 12th and 20th overall selections. They field an elite offense and a defense that could use more personnel upgrades, having allowed the most points in the NFL last season. The front office traded for EDGE Rashan Gary, and signed S Jalen Thompson and DT Otito Ogbonnia thus far this offseason, but the unit still has more needs. Regardless, Schottenheimer said that “if the best player on the board is clearly an offensive player, then we’ll certainly discuss that, and more ...

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport believes Raiders QB Kirk Cousins “likely will be starting games for them in 2026.”

05 April 2026

The Raiders’ presumed No. 1 overall pick, Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza, could end up challenging Cousins for the starting role this summer. For now, it appears as though Cousins is penciled in to break the huddle in Week 1. Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak prefaced today’s signing by publicly explaining the value in allowing a young quarterback to develop on the bench. If the Raiders add more offensive weapons via the 2026 NFL Draft, free agency and trades, Cousins could warrant matchup-based ...

The Athletic’s Nate Atkins reports free agent QB Jimmy Garoppolo is “weighing a few options.”

05 April 2026

Garoppolo was linked to the Dolphins and Cardinals in early March, but both teams have brought new quarterbacks aboard since then. Per Atkins, the Rams’ “sights for a backup” have refocused on Garoppolo, now that the Raiders have signed QB Kirk Cousins. The Rams would reportedly “really would like an experienced former starter in that role.” Garoppolo spent the last two seasons in said role and turns 35 in November.

Broncos hosted Ohio State TE Max Klare for a top-30 visit.

04 April 2026

This is the second incoming rookie tight end the Broncos have brought in for a top-30 visit this week. The position remains an area of need despite head coach Sean Payton spending the last three years trying to find a Joker. In his final college season, Klare caught 41-of-53 targets for 420 yards and two touchdowns. Per 9News’ Mike Klis, Klare could potentially be the second tight end drafted this year and is “arguably the most well-rounded.”

Buccaneers signed DL Rakeem Nunez-Roches, formerly of the Giants, to a one-year contract.

04 April 2026

Nunez-Roches, 32, played for the Buccaneers from 2018 to 2022 before making his way to the Giants in 2023. He is best suited to a rotational interior pass-rushing role at this point. Nunez-Roches totaled eight quarterback pressures and three sacks last season.

Ohio State LB Arvell Reese has completed six top-30 visits.

03 April 2026

Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the teams include the Jets, Cardinals, Titans, Giants, Chiefs, and Cowboys. Rapoport also notes that NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah currently has the Jets drafting Reese via the No. 2 overall pick later in his most recent mock draft. Reese, 20, is a versatile, elite pass rusher who began his college career as a capable inside linebacker.

Broncos hosted NC State TE Justin Joly for a top-30 visit.

03 April 2026

The Broncos’ endless quest to find a Joker tight end for head coach Sean Payton continues. Joly, 21, caught 47-of-66 targets for 468 yards and seven touchdowns in his final college season. He played for UCONN from 2022 to 2023 before transferring to NC State in 2024. Joly intriguingly demonstrated remarkable consistency on a per-route basis, averaging between 1.80 and 1.93 yards per route run in regular season play each year. Denver Post’s Luca Evans notes that the Broncos are “doing work ...

Cowboys, Chiefs and Cardinals hosted Texas Tech EDGE David Bailey for top-30 visits.

03 April 2026

Bailey’s visits with the Cowboys and Chiefs both occurred this week. His visit with the Cardinals happened the week after the NFL Scouting Combine. The Cowboys hold the 12th and 20th overall picks in the 2026 NFL Draft. The Chiefs hold the ninth and 29th and the Cardinals hold the third. Earlier today, The Ringer’s Todd McShay reported that there is “a lot of buzz” about the Cowboys trading up with the Cardinals for Bailey, surprisingly saying he heard it might only take a third-round pi ...

FOX59’s Mike Chappell believes the target volume for Colts WRs Josh Downs and Alec Pierce will increase “significantly” this season.

03 April 2026

The Colts’ intent to increase Pierce’s involvement was made apparent by the four-year, $116 million contract he signed last month. Downs produced career lows in targets (84), receptions (58) and yards (566) last year, struggling to compete with TE Tyler Warren as a slot weapon. This is the second positive report for Downs this week, though which is encouraging. Downs currently finds himself in the fantasy WR4 discussion, but could improve his standing by becoming the Colts’ go-to pass catc ...

Falcons hosted Arkansas RB Mike Washington Jr. for a top-30 visit on Friday.

03 April 2026

Washington also has top-30 visits lined up with the Buccaneers, Packers and Seahawks. Washington stands 6'1/223 and turned heads at the NFL Scouting Combine by running a 4.33-second 40. Per NFL Insider Jordan Schultz, Washington is projected as a Day 2 pick. In his final college season, Washington rushed 167 times for 1,066 yards and eight touchdowns and caught 28-of-36 targets for 226 yards and one touchdown.

Raiders hosted free agent RB Najee Harris for a visit on Friday.

03 April 2026

Harris visited the Seahawks last week as well. The 28-year-old running back is generating interest as he progresses through his rehab program. He suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon rupture, in the Chargers’ Week 3 win over the Broncos last year. During his short 2025 season, he rushed 15 times for 61 yards and caught 3-of-3 targets for 25 yards.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the NFL concluded Chiefs WR Rashee Rice did not violate the personal conduct policy and there will be no discipline at this time.

03 April 2026

In a lawsuit from February, Rice was accused of “violent and abusive behaviors” filed by the mother of two of his children and former girlfriend, Dacoda Jones. The NFL’s investigation into the matter “is now closed.” Given the nature of Jones’ accusations, Rice was at risk of being suspended this season. With today’s ruling from the league, that is no longer the case. Rice can be expected to once again operate as the Chiefs’ No. 1 pass catcher. His ADP should begin ticking up fro ...

Jaguars signed EDGE Travon Walker to a four-year, $110 million extension through 2030.
