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 ...

ESPN’s Jordan Reid reports that the Panthers will host Indiana WR Omar Cooper Jr. for a top-30 visit.

02 April 2026

Across the 2025 college football regular season, Cooper outright led, or tied for the team-high, all Hoosiers pass catchers with 75 targets, 58 receptions, 804 yards and 11 touchdowns while averaging 2.68 yards per route run. Per Reid, Cooper could be an option for the Panthers with the No. 19 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Anthony Walker Jr. retired after nine NFL seasons.

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.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the Raiders will host Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza for a top-30 visit on Tuesday.

02 April 2026

Thanks to a prior report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, we knew this visit would take place sometime next week. Now, we know the day. The Raiders are widely expected to draft Mendoza with the No. 1 overall pick later this month. Mendoza led the Hoosiers to a CFP National Championship victory in his final season, while also leading college football with 41 passing touchdowns. Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak believes sitting a young quarterback behind “a mature adult,” to “watch how they ...

Bengals signed S Kyle Dugger.

02 April 2026


ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Raiders QB Kirk Cousins’ contract is a five-year, $172 million deal that in reality is one-year, $20 million.

02 April 2026

For the 11th consecutive season, Cousins will play on a fully guaranteed contract. While his contract is technically for five years, $172 million, in reality he’s set to receive $20 million for one year with the Raiders. The Falcons are paying Cousins $8.7 million this season, the Raiders another $1.3 million and the Raiders have guaranteed Cousins a $10 million roster bonus on the third day of the 2027 new league year. One of the greatest bag-getters in league history, Cousins, who turns 38 i ...

Raiders signed QB Kirk Cousins.

02 April 2026

Cousins’ agent Mike McCartney broke the news on X, formerly known as Twitter. The 37-year-old signal caller is a natural fit with the rebuilding Raiders, who hold the top pick in the upcoming draft with their sights set on Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza. Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak told the media this week that he thinks it would be beneficial for a young quarterback to sit behind a veteran starter and watch how they run the show. Now the Raiders have a veteran option on the roster in Cousin ...

Rams WR Puka Nacua checked into a “luxury treatment center.”

02 April 2026

Nacua’s attorney, Levi McCathern, told The California Post that the 24-year-old has checked into a rehab facility in Malibu. Nacua has popped up in the news cycle most recently for a civil lawsuit in Los Angeles alleging he bit a woman on New Year’s Eve and made an “unprovoked antisemitic sentiment.” McCathern said, “the combination of stories ya’ll have run is certainly a contributing factor” to Nacua’s entry into the treatment center. Rams head coach Sean McVay said Monday he ...

Rams WR Puka Nacua checked into a “luxury treatment center”, according to his attorney.

02 April 2026

Nacua’s attorney, Levi McCathern, told The California Post that the 24-year-old has checked into a rehab facility in Malibu. He has seen himself pop up in the news cycle most recently for a civil lawsuit in Los Angeles alleging he bit a woman on New Year’s Eve and made an “unprovoked antisemitic sentiment.” McCathern said, “the combination of stories ya’ll have run is certainly a contributing factor” to Nacua’s entry into the treatment center. Rams head coach Sean McVay said on M ...

Falcons hired Eagles vice president of football operations Jeff Scott as their assistant general manager.

01 April 2026

Scott arrives after five seasons with the Eagles front office. He started as a senior pro scout before elevating to director of football operations and vice president of football operations during his tenure with Philadelphia, reaching the Super Bowl twice and winning a title in 2024. New Falcons general manager Ian Cunningham hires him after briefly working together with the Eagles in 2021. The Falcons notably have president of football operations Matt Ryan as their “primary decision-maker” ...

ESPN’s Josh Weinfuss expects the Cardinals to be a running back by committee “to a certain degree.”

01 April 2026

Weinfuss has a lengthy profile of Tyler Allgeier’s decision to join the Cardinals that explicitly states several times things like “Allgeier said the Cardinals had not discussed his role” and "[h]ow the reps will be divided is yet to be seen.” It’s not wildly encouraging news for Allgeier’s fantasy prospects as the run-first option in a backfield of a team that figures to be trailing often in 2026. Allgeier is still probably the bet to lead the committee, but he’s probably deep in ...

Titans signed WR Lance McCutcheon to a one-year contract.

01 April 2026

It’s the latest part of a masterclass by the Titans on April 1, 2026, as they have signed four different players that we can barely find anything to say about. McCutcheon had announced his retirement earlier in the offseason, but instead will report to Tennessee for training camp. He hasn’t played in an NFL game since the 2022 season.

ESPN’s Stephen Holder believes Josh Downs will have a bigger role in the Colts offense in 2026.

01 April 2026

Holder quotes Colts GM Chris Ballard as saying “I think Josh Downs is freaking good. I do. I’ve always thought he’s good. I think allowing him some more opportunities, we’re going to see some of the special stuff you’ve seen in the past, but more.” Downs probably is in line for the WR4 discussion in 2026 with Michael Pittman off to Pittsburgh, in what amounts to a make-or-break season in his walk year. We’d feel more comfortable boosting Downs if we were sure Daniel Jones were goin ...

Falcons re-signed DE/LB DeAngelo Malone to a one-year deal.

01 April 2026

He’ll continue his special teams journey in Atlanta, assuming he makes the final roster.

Titans signed RB Michael Carter, formerly of the Cardinals.

01 April 2026

Carter, who turns 27 in May, somehow kept resurfacing in Arizona’s running back room last year. Just when you thought he was out of the rotation, someone new would get hurt. Reunited with Robert Saleh in Tennessee, Carter is likely just a depth add at this point, and certainly not guaranteed to have a roster spot.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that the Kirk Cousins is “considered a prime option” for the Raiders as they look to pair a veteran quarterback with Fernando Mendoza.

01 April 2026

The Raiders apparently did have Joe Flacco in mind for this role at some point, per Fowler, so perhaps it’s not quite as one-track-focused on Cousins it has appeared. Other veteran non-Cousins names still on the market include Russell Wilson, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Tyrod Taylor.

ESPN’s Rich Cimini reports there are “rumblings about a potential trade” for the Jets at wide receiver, and that Dontayvion Wicks and Brian Thomas Jr. are “among the names bandied about.”

01 April 2026

We don’t really believe Thomas is on the table unless the Jets are going to give up a first and more, but Wicks is an attainable option for the Jets. ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that Wicks is available in trade ahead of free agency. Wicks is entering the final year of his rookie contract and isn’t considered a building block for the Packers, so he’d probably only cost a Day 3 pick if the Jets were interested.

ESPN’s Michael DiRocco reports the Jaguars have had preliminary discussions about extensions for WR Parker Washington, TE Brenton Strange, and EDGE Travon Walker.

01 April 2026

It was pointed out by John Shipley a few days ago that Wan’Dale Robinson’s free agent contract might be a starting point for the Washington extension. Walker is entering his final season under his rookie contract’s fifth-year option. Strange and Washington are both on the final year of their rookie contracts. The Jaguars have been uncharacteristically (and probably smartly, given their success last year) quiet in free agency, so perhaps they’re just focusing on locking up their core.

Titans signed QB Hendon Hooker.

01 April 2026

With Cam Ward, Mitchell Trubisky, and Will Levis already on the roster, perhaps this is a signal that we should expect a Levis trade soon. The other interpretation is that Hooker is just being added as a camp arm. The 28-year-old has yet to offer more than mop-up duty in an NFL game.
