ESPN’s Rich Cimini said he “would be a little surprised” if the Jets draft Alabama QB Ty Simpson with the No. 16 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft “because they have so many other needs.”

30 March 2026

Cimini also believes the Jets do not feel “pressured” to draft a quarterback in 2026 because they have three first-round picks in 2027. That said, Jets head coach Aaron Glenn, general manager Darren Mougey, OC Frank Reich and QB coach Bill Musgrave had dinner with Simpson last night and hosted him for a private workout today. The Jets hold the second, 16th, 33rd and 44th picks in this year’s draft. We certainly agree that the Jets have many needs, but finding a starting quarterback tops th ...

ESPN’s Jamison Hensley reports that “there has been growing optimism” about Ravens DL Nnamdi Madubuike’s (neck) chances of playing in 2026.

30 March 2026

Madubuike played in Weeks 1 and 2 last year before being placed on injured reserve. Reports regarding Madubuike’s rehab have been tough to find. The injury was rumored to be career-threatening. It seems as though there is a chance that the 28-year-old defender will retake the field. Madubuike racked up 22 sacks in 2023 and 2024, earning two Pro Bowl nods and one second-team All-Pro placement. Getting Madubuike back in the lineup this season would be huge for the Ravens’ defense.

49ers general manager John Lynch said the team is having “very straightforward, direct” contract talks with LT Trent Williams.

29 March 2026

Lynch made clear he wanted to avoid saying a new deal is “right there” because things can change quickly, but he believes the two sides “are on the precipice of something good happening.” Lynch complimented Williams’ consistent play quality, saying the 37-year-old blocker is one of the great players to ever play the game while acknowledging that Williams’ age is a big factor from the team’s perspective. The 49ers chose not to exercise Williams’ $10 million option bonus earlier th ...

Browns general manager Andrew Berry said RB Quinshon Judkins (leg/ankle) should participate in offseason workouts in “some form or fashion.”

29 March 2026

Berry maintained that Judkins should be able to fully participate in training camp, which typically starts in late July. We had not yet heard whether he would participate in organized team activities (OTAs) and/or mandatory minicamp, but given Berry’s comments, we could see him doing drills with teammates in May. Teams can host up to 10 non-contact workouts between OTAs and mandatory minicamp. Last year, OTAs ran from May 27-29 and June 3-5. Mandatory minicamp ran from June 10-12. At worst, it ...

49ers general manager John Lynch said he doesn’t know if the team can afford to sign free agent EDGE Joey Bosa.

29 March 2026

Joey’s brother, Nick Bosa, has played for the 49ers since they drafted him with the second overall pick in 2019. Their mother has been campaigning for the 49ers to sign Joey via social media and, last week, The Athletic’s Matt Barrows said he believes “there’s a good argument” for the 49ers to bring Joey aboard as well. Joey, 30, played for the Bills on a one-year, $12.6 million contract last year, totaling 47 quarterback pressures and five sacks. He suffered a calf injury over the sum ...

Browns general manager Andrew Berry said EDGE Myles Garrett “is a career Brown.”

29 March 2026

The Browns modified Garrett’s contract language last week, in a manner that lowers Garrett’s dead money in the event of a trade, while also granting Cleveland extra time to work through bonus payouts for the next three seasons. Understandably, reporters, fans and NFL teams wondered if a trade was imminent. Evidently, the Browns have no desire to trade their star defender. Berry adds that he does not want to “waste a ton more breath on the topic.” Theoretically, this should put this story ...

ESPN’s Nick Wagoner reports that the 49ers expect DL Nick Bosa (knee) and DL Mykel Williams (knee) “to be ready for training camp in some capacity.”

29 March 2026

Roughly two months ago, 49ers general manager John Lynch told reporters that both players were expected to return sometime “around” training camp, so today’s report confirms that they generally remain on track. We do not yet know when they are expected to be full-go, though, so things are still a little fluid. Bosa, 28, suffered a torn ACL on September 21st. Williams, 21, reportedly hyperextended his knee on August 7th and later tore his ACL as well on November 2nd.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said there is “no doubt about it,” Geno Smith is the Jets’ starting quarterback.

29 March 2026

As the Jets rotated through various starting quarterbacks last season, Glenn delayed naming the starting quarterback publicly until the end of the week on multiple occasions. Naming the starting quarterback months in advance seemingly represents a tactical change of sorts for the second-year head coach. It is important to remember that we are entering smokescreen season, with the 2026 NFL Draft coming up next month. Smith is coming off a rough year with the Raiders, but perhaps the Jets’ coach ...

49ers general manager John Lynch said he is “hopeful” TE George Kittle (Achilles) plays in Week 1.

29 March 2026


ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports “the NFL issued a memo to clubs this weekend prohibiting public comment on the ongoing CBA negotiation with officials due to what the league says is the sensitivity of the ongoing discussions.”

29 March 2026

This memo comes just before teams across the league are scheduled to convene in Phoenix for their annual meeting. The league and the refs, who are working on a new CBA before the start of the season, reportedly broke off labor talks early last week after the league rejected the NFLRA’s latest proposal. There’s still plenty of time for the two sides to come to an agreement before the start of the season, but concerns continue to be heightened about the possibility of replacement referees, whi ...

Chiefs HC Andy Reid declined to put a timeline on when Patrick Mahomes (knee) could return.

29 March 2026

It was reported last week that the Chiefs are hopeful Mahomes would participate in OTAs in May, even if on a limited basis. While that may still be the case, when speaking at the Annual League Meeting in Phoenix on Saturday, Reid opted to play things close to the vest. The 68-year-old coach said Mahomes is in the building seven hours a day and that it’s clear from the progress he has made in his recovery. That said, he also offered up a simple “we’ll just see where it goes from there,” i ...

Commanders HC Dan Quinn said “we would never shut the door on him” when asked about re-signing free agent LB Bobby Wagner.

29 March 2026

While Quinn suggests the team will remain open to bringing back the future HOFer, he also adds that the team feels like there are “some players that are about to take off at [Wagner’s] position.” In addition to players like Frankie Luvu and Jordan Magee, the Commanders also went out and signed inside linebacker Leo Chenal this offseason. With Chenal expected to share starting duties with Luvu in the Commanders’ 3-4 defense, there leaves little room for Wagner, who could undoubtedly sign ...

Bills HC Joe Brady said Josh Allen (foot) is “good to go” to participate in the team’s offseason program.

29 March 2026

Allen underwent surgery to repair a broken bone in his foot, but two months post-op, the Bills’ QB1 appears to be in good shape. The Bills went out and traded for WR DJ Moore this offseason to give Allen a much-needed weapon in the passing game, and with Allen trending in the right direction, he should have plenty of time to build with Moore before training camp ramps up earlier this summer. Allen has finished as the QB1 in fantasy points per game in four of his last six seasons and projects a ...

Falcons signed RB Tyler Goodson, formerly of the Colts.

29 March 2026

Goodson was slated to be a restricted free agent, but the Colts balked. He’s a decent third-down back, but behind Bijan Robinson he figures to offer little fantasy value in his age-26 season. At least his last name isn’t also “Robinson,” unlike some backups in this backfield.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Browns told him they are “100.0 percent, definitely not trading” EDGE Myles Garrett.

29 March 2026

Schefter detailed his conversation with the Browns while speaking to Pat McAfee, adding that the Browns “couldn’t have been stronger” in their remarks. Garrett’s recently reworked deal gives the Browns more salary cap flexibility, so this report makes sense. Could the Browns’ front office still listen to trade offers? Absolutely. For now, it sounds like the Browns plan to keep him, though.

Sports Illustrated’s John Shipley believes the contract signed by Titans WR Wan’Dale Robinson “makes sense as things stand today” for Jaguars WR Parker Washington.

29 March 2026

Robinson signed a four-year, $78 million contract in free agency. Washington is a free agent next year. Robinson’s career average receiving totals handily best Washington’s, but Shipley believes Washington has the potential to “blow Robinson’s resumé out of the water with a solid season.” Robinson cleared 130 targets and 90 receptions in consecutive seasons and totaled 1,014 yards and four touchdowns last year. Washington caught 58-of-88 targets for 847 yards and five touchdowns last ...

Commanders signed CB Ahkello Witherspoon, formerly of the Rams.

29 March 2026

Witherspoon, 31, gets a one-year deal. The signing reunites the veteran cornerback with Commanders general manager Adam Peters. Witherspoon entered the NFL as a third-round pick with the 49ers back in 2017, the same year that Peters was hired as the 49ers’ vice president of player personnel. Witherspoon intercepted one pass while playing in eight games last year.

Bills signed C Lloyd Cushenberry, formerly of the Titans.

29 March 2026

Cushenberry is not an elite player, but he respectably earned a 65.5 PFF pass-blocking grade during the 2025 regular season. The Bills also signed OL Austin Corbett, formerly of the Panthers. Corbett earned a 66.7 PFF run-blocking grade last year and has experience at right guard, left guard and center. The Bills signed WR Trent Sherfield, formerly of the Cardinals, as well. He is unlikely to be relevant in fantasy. All three players are on one-year contracts.

Ravens hosted free agent DL DJ Reader for a visit on Thursday.

29 March 2026

Reader, 31, played for the Lions last year, earning a 68.9 PFF defense grade. He totaled 18 solo tackles, one TFL and 20 quarterback pressures. The latter figure is impressive for a player listed at 6'3"/330. He should be able to meaningfully contribute again in 2026.

9News’ Mike Klis believes the Broncos will consider using the 62nd overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft on either a running back, tight end, inside linebacker and “maybe” an EDGE.

29 March 2026

Per Klis, Arkansas RB Mike Washington Jr., Washington RB Jonah Coleman, Kentucky RB Seth McGowan, Nebraska RB Emmett Johnson, Penn State RB Nicholas Singleton and Texas A&M RB Le’Veon Moss are among the “possibilities” at running back. Klis is not declaring that a running back will be the pick. Reports on the Broncos’ backfield simply remain somewhat in flux. The team re-signed veteran RB J.K. Dobbins to a two-year, $20 million contract this offseason and it remains to be seen whethe ...
