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.

03 April 2026


The Ringer’s Todd McShay reports that “someone in the Cardinals’ building is pushing really, really hard” to draft Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love.

03 April 2026

The unnamed individual is said to be someone “who has a say” in what the Cardinals do with the No. 3 overall pick in this year’s draft. McShay notes the Cardinals are also candidates to trade back a couple of spots to potentially draft Love, though “they still need an offensive tackle [and] they still need an EDGE.” Rotational players like former starter RB James Conner, who suffered a season-ending ankle injury last year, and free agent signee, RB Tyler Allgeier, crowd the Cardinals ...

Raiders signed S Tristin McCollum to his exclusive rights tender.

03 April 2026

McCollum entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Texans in 2022. He took the field for the first time in 2023 after being signed by the Eagles. The Raiders then nabbed him off waivers in August 2025. McCollum largely contributes as a special teams player, though he can help out as a run defender as well.

The Athletic’s Zac Jackson said he feels “stronger than ever that Shedeur Sanders, not Deshaun Watson, is the favorite to win the starting job.”

03 April 2026

Jackson said that he believes “there will be a true competition” between Sanders and Watson in camp, but adds that “the most direct path to the Browns escaping the Watson mess” is for Sanders to take the job and provide “at least league-average quarterback play.” Watson has failed to live up to the massive five-year, $230 million contract the Browns gave him in 2022, appearing in just 19 games and posting a pedestrian 3,365-19-12 line, with a 9-10 record as a starter. Sanders struggl ...

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports the Bears will not receive any draft pick compensation after the Falcons hired Ian Cunningham as their GM.

03 April 2026

According to Rapoport, the Bears “have been lobbying” to receive compensation for losing Cunningham, who spent the last four seasons as their Assistant general manager prior to being hired by the Falcons. On Friday, the league said that the Bears will not receive any compensatory picks and that “the policy is designed to provide picks for the Primary Football Executive position. The League determined Mr. Cunningham did not fill that role with the Falcons as it is defined in the League rule ...

ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio said after a discussion with Vikings HC Kevin O’Connell that the team is “unlikely” to name a QB1 before the start of training camp.

03 April 2026

The battle for QB1 will be between Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy, with Florio believing the competition between the two will “commence during preseason practices and games.” This doesn’t come as much of a surprise, but it lays to rest any assumptions that Murray will walk in as the unquestioned starter before camp. While we would expect Murray to ultimately win the job in runaway fashion, it sounds like McCarthy will be given every chance to prove he’s still the man for the job and a pl ...

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

02 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.

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

02 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 ...

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.

02 April 2026

The Cowboys possess the 12th and 20th overall selections. They field an elite offense and defense that could use 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 than l ...

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

02 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 ...

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.

02 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 ...

Anthony Walker Jr. retired after nine seasons in the NFL.

02 April 2026

The former fifth-round pick enjoyed a successful playing career. Walker spent his first four seasons in the NFL with the Colts after being drafted in 2017. From 2021 to 2023, Walker signed three one-year deals with the Browns and, unfortunately, spent time on injured reserve in all three campaigns. He played for the Dolphins in 2024 and the Buccaneers in 2025. Across his nine-year career, Walker totaled 581 combined tackles, 362 solo tackles, 5.5 sacks and four interceptions.

Stephon Gilmore retired after 13 seasons in the NFL.

02 April 2026

The Bills drafted Gilmore with the No. 10 overall pick in the 2012 NFL Draft. He remained in Buffalo until 2017, when he signed with the Patriots in free agency. Gilmore enjoyed the best seasons of his career in New England, winning Super Bowl LII in 2018. He earned first-team All-Pro honors in 2018 and 2019, and co-led the NFL in interceptions while also winning NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 2019. He earned Pro Bowl honors in 2016 and 2018-2021. He spent one-year stints with the Panthers, ...

The Eagles, Commanders, Falcons and 49ers have shown “extensive interest” in Houston K Ethan Sanchez.

02 April 2026

Sanchez was a semifinalist for the Lou Groza Award last year, which is given to college football’s top kicker. He recently had an hour-long phone call with the Eagles and also met with them privately after Houston’s Pro Day. Sanchez is scheduled to attend the Falcons’ local day as well. He spent his first three college seasons kicking for Old Dominion and spent his fourth and final college season at Houston. He converted 20-of-25 field goals during the regular season and 38-of-38 extra poi ...
