Stribling gets a $13.5 million deal with a $6.3 million signing bonus, which comes with a $2.5 million salary cap hit in 2026. The 49ers brought him board with the No. 33 overall pick, which generated mixed responses. Stribling will compete for a starting role in three-wide receiver sets right away, but likely begins training camp as the penciled-in No. 4 wide receiver behind Mike Evans, Ricky Pearsall and Christian Kirk.08 May 2026
Bryant was asked about the two concussions and two hamstring strains he suffered last year. He responded by saying he is focused on “becoming bulletproof so I don’t have to deal with any of those things anymore,” and later clarified that meant he has been “putting on a few pounds of weight.” We will leave the medical analysis to the professionals. Bryant was listed at 6'2/204 last year and worked his way into two-wide receiver sets by the end of the year. Perhaps the weight gain helps ...08 May 2026

New Orleans Football’s Mike Triplett reports that Moore “didn’t name any specific ailments Miller is dealing with.” The Saints drafted him early in the second round. If Miller is dealing with a pre-draft issue, it does not appear to have caused concern among the Saints’ medical team. Miller sat out today’s practice, but is present for team meetings. Given Moore’s assessment, this will probably be a non-story before long.08 May 2026
Brissett has chosen not to attend the Cardinals’ current voluntary workouts, wielding the leverage he has to campaign for an “extension that pays him as the starter.” Frankly, we can’t blame him. Brissett made the Cardinals fun to watch last season, although his 12 starts resulted in just a 1-11 record. Brissett, 33, has just $1.5 million in guaranteed money this season and will be a free agent at the end of the year. Hopefully, the two sides can turn the ongoing dialogue into a resoluti ...08 May 2026
Any concerns about replacement referees can be laid to rest, as the league and its officials finally agreed to a deal ahead of the May 31st expiration date of the current deal. Included in the new agreement, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, is a “joint commitment with the officials to improve performance and increase accountability,” which will include “increased access to officials in the offseason, development of a ‘bench’ of officials, and a new formal training program” that will ...08 May 2026
If two missed field goals and a missed extra point in last season’s Wild Card round loss to the Bears didn’t spell McManus’ impending exit, then the selection of Florida kicker Trey Smack in the sixth round of this year’s draft almost certainly did. McManus, 34, converted 24-of-30 field goals during the regular season in 2025, but struggled on distances of 40-plus yards, going 6-for-12 from that range. McManus will likely catch on with another team before training camp and get a chance t ...08 May 2026
Glenn said he has no update on where things currently stand between the Jets and Russell Wilson, who is reportedly weighing his options between signing with the Jets as a backup or walking away from football to take on a media job. Wilson, 37, threw for 831-3-3 in six games with the Giants last season while completing a career worst 58 percent of his passes. With his best days clearly behind him, if a backup job with the Jets is the best he can get, he could opt to call it a career. If he did si ...08 May 2026
The Jets used their No. 2 overall pick to shore up their pass-rush with the selection of Bailey. The former Texas Tech Red Raider racked up a blistering 14.5 sacks and 19.5 TFLs in his last collegiate season, earning Unanimous All-American honors while also being named the Big 12 Defensive Lineman of the Year. In their first season under head coach Aaron Glenn, the Jets were among the worst defenses in the league, allowing the second-most points and the eighth-most yards per game, and were one o ...08 May 2026
Regarded by some as the top receiver in this year’s draft, injury concerns may have been the reason Tyson “fell” to the Saints at No. 8 overall in this year’s draft. Now under contract, Tyson is ready to get to work in his rookie year and has a chance to elevate a Saints passing game that began to show signs of life once Tyler Shough took over as the starter last season. Tyson can work both on the outside and in the slot and excelled after the catch during his time at Arizona State. He p ...08 May 2026
Branch played 77.9 percent of his college snaps from the slot, per PFF, and at 5-foot-9, 177 pounds, it’s widely believed he will see most of his work in the slot as a pro. Despite this belief, Stefanski praised his rookie receiver for his versatility and ability to line up anywhere on the field, suggesting the Falcons could look to utilize him in multiple ways this season. After Drake London, the Falcons’ receiving depth gets very thin. Veterans Jahan Dotson and Olamide Zaccheaus currently ...08 May 2026
Browns GM Andrew Berry said in February that he wasn’t “overly optimistic” about the possibility of Owusu-Koramoah playing in 2026 after the linebacker suffered a neck injury in 2024 that also sidelined him for all of 2025. It seems increasingly likely that Owusu-Koramoah’s career may be over, which was speculated earlier this offseason as well. He totaled 61 tackles and three sacks in eight games when he last played in 2024.08 May 2026
According to The Athletic’s Mike Kaye, the Panthers converted Horn’s 2026 salary earlier in the week, which freed up enough cap space for the Panthers to sign six draft picks and 10 UDFAs on Thursday. Horn signed a four-year extension with the Panthers in 2025 and remains under contract through the 2029 season. Last year he totaled 37 tackles, eight pass breakups, and five interceptions in 16 games and has earned a Pro Bowl nod in each of the last two seasons.08 May 2026
Styles will get a fully guaranteed $37.2 million on his rookie deal. The rookie linebacker is expected to immediately fill the hole left by Bobby Wagner, who remains a free agent after spending the last two seasons with the Commanders. Styles, 21, totaled 182 tackles in his final two seasons at Ohio State after making the switch from safety to linebacker, and is one of the most physically gifted rookies of the 2026 draft class. He’ll look to help the Commanders turn around a defense that ranke ...08 May 2026

Per Over The Cap, the contract is worth $7.09 million. Forecasting Branch’s year one fantasy relevance is difficult. He stands just 5'9/177 and generated much of his receiving production in the screen game last year. That said, he is a very talented player with the ball in his hands and the Falcons’ wide receiver corps thins out quickly behind No. 1 WR Drake London. Veterans WRs Jahan Dotson and Olamide Zaccheaus are penciled in as the Nos. 2 and 3 players in his position group. Unseating on ...08 May 2026
Sadiq, 21, posted a 52/568/8 receiving line in his third and final season at Oregon before clocking a record-setting 4.39-second 40 at the NFL Scouting Combine. He should operate as the Jets’ primary receiving tight end in year one, while second-year TE Mason Taylor handles blocking duties. It could be tough for Sadiq to produce as a fantasy TE1 as a rookie if he is limited to playing in 12 personnel, but training camp reports should clarify his expected usage.
