The Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson reports Washington WR Denzel Boston will make a top-30 visit with the Dolphins.

08 April 2026

Boston is set to visit with the Dolphins next week as part of the team’s top-30 visits. The 22-year-old led Washington with 62 receptions for 881 yards last season and has already visited the 49ers while also planning to visit the Steelers. Boston is a big target that would give Miami a new No. 1 receiver after trading away Jaylen Waddle as the team builds back up with Malik Willis at quarterback. The Dolphins are a candidate to take Boston with pick No. 30 or No. 43 in the 2026 draft.

Cardinals signed K Joshua Karty to a one-year contract.

07 April 2026

Karty and DL P.J. Mustipher were exclusive rights free agents and both signed their one-year tenders to return to the Cardinals. Karty joined the Cardinals at the end of last season after beginning his career with the Rams. He’ll get the chance to compete with Chad Ryland for a kicking role in 2026. Mustipher was a steady contributor with the Cardinals’ defensive line rotation and will get a chance to carve out a role once more.

Free agent DT Jay Tufele visited the Lions on Tuesday.

07 April 2026

Tufele, who played out a four-year rookie contract with the Bengals, has never played more than 242 defensive snaps in a season. Billed as an interior run defender, he’s simply been inconsistent to this point. Still entering just his age-27 season, Tufele would be a reasonable depth add.

Raiders re-signed C Jordan Meredith to a one-year deal.

07 April 2026

He was a restricted free agent. Meredith did not play up to his 2024 PFF grade in 2025, falling from 80.8 to 57.7 in a career-best 676 snaps at center. Now clearly behind Tyler Linderbaum, Meredith will look to find a different spot on the line to compete for a starting role. The Raiders also re-signed ERFA Charles Snowden.

SNY’s Connor Hughes reports a source expects Giants DT Dexter Lawrence will “demand $30 million annually.”

07 April 2026

Lawrence actually already has a $26.9 million cap hit, but the AAV of the deal he signed in 2023 is only $20 million a season. He could also simply be seeking more guaranteed money. Hughes notes that Lawrence could command a first-round pick in a trade if one happens, but defaults to believing the Giants will extend him.

Texans acquired LB Marte Mapu and a 2027 seventh-round pick from the Patriots for a 2026 sixth-round pick.

07 April 2026

Mapu will take over a backup LB roster spot and play on special teams for the Texans. He was set to be released prior to this trade, per several media reports. Mapu enters the final year of his rookie contract in 2026.

Texans acquired LB Marte Mapu from the Patriots for a late-round 2027 pick swap.

07 April 2026

Mapu will take over a backup LB roster spot and play on special teams for the Texans. He was set to be released prior to this trade, per several media reports. Mapu enters the final year of his rookie contract in 2026.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Kyle Pitts has signed the franchise tag and reported to OTAs.

07 April 2026

Pitts has locked in a one-year, $15.045 million deal for his age-26 season and, more importantly, will get in early work in new Falcons HC Kevin Stefanski’s system. Pitts has the potential to be a huge part of the Falcons game plan in 2026 and may go a bit underlooked in fantasy football because of his post-post-post-post-hype sleeper syndrome and the quarterback situation. He remains outside the top 75 picks in most formats.

Buccaneers signed WR David Sills, formerly of the Falcons.

07 April 2026

Sills, who turns 30 in May, had a career-high 18/191/2 receiving line that mostly came down the stretch as Drake London was sidelined. He’s likely just a depth piece here to help former Falcons OC Zac Robinson teach The System to Tampa’s main wideouts.

Dolphins RB De’Von Achane did not report to voluntary OTAs.

07 April 2026

Achane is in the final year of his rookie contract and is undoubtedly looking for a major extension. Dolphins head coach Jeff Hafley alluded to that when he told reporters that it’s “part of the business” when asked about Achane not showing. We wouldn’t be surprised if Achane’s absence (until mandatory sessions) is a theme going forward pending a new contract.

Giants coach John Harbaugh said Malik Nabers (knee) won’t be on the field until “in to training camp and closer to the season.”

07 April 2026

This is about what we expected, and about what Joe Schoen said in January, but it’s good to know that there’s been no setback along the way. It would not be surprising if Nabers opened up camp on the PUP list. It still sounds like there’s a real chance he’ll be ready to go for Week 1 after tearing his ACL in early October.

Giants coach John Harbaugh, asked about Dexter Lawrence’s trade request, said “I’m not surprised by it. We’ll try to work through it.”

07 April 2026

He added that “the prospects are high” on a Lawrence return to the Giants, before noting “I don’t know if granting the request is really the right way to say it, because it doesn’t really work that way. It’s not like a Christmas gift. It’s business. The business is to be the best football team we can be.” It sounds like the Giants have no interest in moving on from Lawrence. The New Jersey Star-Ledger’s Art Stapleton reported earlier today that he expects Lawrence to get a new ...

Raiders re-signed TE Ian Thomas to a one-year contract.

07 April 2026

Thomas impressively caught all 13 of his targets last year for 114 yards. It was his first year with double-digit catches since 2022. This is a solid depth re-signing with zero fantasy implications.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza has informed the NFL that he won’t attend the NFL Draft.

07 April 2026

He’ll instead spend his (presumed) time as the first overall pick with family in Miami. No handshakes for Roger Goodell this time. We’ll see how that plays on LinkedIn.

The Athletic’s Zac Jackson reports Deshaun Watson (Achilles) has been medically cleared.

07 April 2026

He’s expected to be in the building today to begin the NFL’s most big-name (and least-impactful) quarterback competition of the offseason with Shedeur Sanders. Watson ruptured his Achilles once on the field and once off it, and hasn’t appeared on an NFL field since October 10, 2024. He’s a live underdog to win the competition, but there’s likely little fantasy value to be plumbed from the situation.

ESPN’s Field Yates said he would “lean toward” the Browns selecting Ohio State WR Carnell Tate or Miami OT Francis Mauigoa in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft.

07 April 2026

It’s the latest signal that the Browns, who have the sixth overall pick in the 2026 draft, are among the favorites to land Tate, who last season at Ohio State caught 51 passes for 875 yards and nine touchdowns last season while averaging 17.2 yards per catch. Tate would likely profile as the Browns’ default No. 1 wideout over Jerry Jeudy Isaiah Bond, though it remains unclear who might be throwing the football to Tate in Cleveland.

Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan said the team will build around QB Malik Willis.

07 April 2026

Sullivan said signing Willis, formerly of the Packers, to a three-year contract “was very important to us” so the team could methodically build a contending roster through the draft. “I’m very comfortable with Malik and his ability to play with what’s around him,” Sullivan told ESPN’s Kevin Clark. The implication is that Willis will not be judged too harshly if he struggles in 2026 on a rebuilding Miami team that recently parted ways with star wideouts Jaylen Waddle and Tyreek Hill ...

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia is visiting with the Panthers.

07 April 2026


ESPN’s Field Yates reports Washington WR Denzel Boston is making a top-30 visit with the Steelers.

07 April 2026

Boston, who made a top-30 visit with the 49ers in late March, had 62 receptions for 881 receiving yards (14.2 yards per catch) and was tied for ninth in the FBS with 11 receiving touchdowns in his final collegiate season. Boston would make sense for the wideout-needy Steelers, who recently acquired Michael Pittman Jr. from the Colts. Alongside Pittman and DK Metcalf, Boston would create a big-bodied trio of receivers for Aaron Rodgers, who is expected to return for a second season under center f ...

Art Stapleton believes Giants DT Dexter Lawrence will sign a new contract with the team.

07 April 2026

Lawrence on Monday requested a trade and will reportedly sit out the Giants’ offseason workout program after spending most of the past two years trying to work out a new deal with the team. Stapleton said a new contract for the standout defensive tackle could come before the NFL Draft. Lawrence is under contract with New York for the next two seasons. Lawrence is coming off a subpar 2025 campaign in which he had career lows in tackles (31) and sacks (0.5), while making only four tackles in the ...
