Branch suffered a torn Achilles in Week 14 of last season. It was reported by The Athletic’s Colton Pouncy back in March that Branch isn’t expected to be ready by Week 1 of this upcoming season, but it’s an encouraging sign that Holmes likes how the star safety is trending. Regarding Joseph, the fifth-year safety appeared in just six games last season due to a knee injury and suffered setbacks in his recovery, resulting in a prolonged absence. Holmes said the team’s decision not to draft ...27 April 2026
Hilton (6’0”/188) is a former four-star recruit who dealt with numerous injuries while at LSU and never amounted to more than a lightly-used backup. As a freshman in 2021, Hilton suffered a torn meniscus in both his knees. He missed most of 2022 due to a torn labrum and appeared in only six games in 2024 due to an ankle injury. Hilton played primarily on the outside during his time with the Tigers, but never ran more than 149 routes in a season. For his career, he ran 100-plus routes just tw ...27 April 2026
Per Ballard, both the players and the team just have to “have a little patience here and see what happens.” Ballard adds that he does not know if Richardson and Moore will attend the Colts’ voluntary organized team activities next week. The dust is still settling following the 2026 NFL Draft, with undrafted free agent signings still rolling in regularly. NFL contracts sometimes include bonuses and/or team-friendly options that come into effect on June 1st. Perhaps the Colts will get a few ...26 April 2026
Tomlin believes Rodgers remains a “capable” player and still loves the game. The positive reports regarding Rodgers’ potential return continue to trickle in. Last week, Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy said that he has confidence in Rodgers’ current abilities, and the team only added Round 3 rookie QB Drew Allar to the mix over the weekend. He joins incumbent QBs Will Howard and Mason Rudolph. Allar is an interesting prospect but likely needs time to develop. Being mentored by Rodgers w ...26 April 2026
Rowser spent one season at Campbell before transferring to New Mexico State. He then headed to Arizona State, where he spent his final two college seasons. The Seahawks possess one of the league’s best safety units, even with Coby Bryant departing for the Bears in free agency. They drafted TCU S Bud Clark in the second round and are evidently interested in giving Rowser a chance to deepen the position group. PFF credits Rowser with four forced incompletions, 70 solo tackles, 10 TFLs and three ...26 April 2026
Fitzgerald (5’11/201) spent two years at Coffeyville Community College before joining NC State. He played a rotational role in his first season of D1 ball, logging three pass breakups and two interceptions across 13 games. He took on a larger role in the following season and tallied another eight pass breakups with three picks, plus seven TFLs. Fitzgerald then transferred a second time, landing at USC for his final season. His play-making hit new levels with the Trojans and he amassed five int ...26 April 2026
Jacobs spent two seasons at Maryland followed by three seasons at UAB. A torn ACL ended his 2023 season, and he unfortunately suffered a season-ending foot injury in 2024. He posted a 342/4 rushing line and a 15/82/1 receiving line in his final college season. Packers RB Josh Jacobs is Isaiah’s older brother.26 April 2026
Lowry missed the 2025 season after suffering a torn ACL. He totaled nine quarterback pressures and one sack back in 2024. Lowry, 31, will likely serve as a backup player if he sticks with the team beyond training camp.26 April 2026
Pavia (5'10/207) was a Heisman Trophy finalist in 2025 and seemingly had a shot at getting drafted, but his on-field numbers apparently were not big enough to offset concerns regarding his short stature. So in the end, he must attend a minicamp. He posted as 3,539/29/8 passing line and an 862/10 rushing line last year, but clocked a 4.83-second 40 at Vanderbilt’s Pro Day.26 April 2026
Eason got a sixth year of eligibility with Tennessee because of the 2020 pandemic and a redshirt 2021 season in 2025, and he was able to procure 31 tackles with 4.5 of those coming for loss. The 6-foot-2, 323-pound is literally built to be a run stuffer, and he showed at times the ability to split double teams with more quickness than you’d expect from a player of his size. He also showed to be a step slow at times, with very little success at winning his reps as a pass-rusher. Eason seems mor ...26 April 2026
Williams is a six-year college player who spent four seasons at Alabama and two seasons at Florida State. He notably suffered a season-ending knee injury in 2021 and never once cleared 600 yards rushing in a single season. Williams is likely a long shot to make the Titans’ roster.26 April 2026
The Ravens drafted Randall with the No. 174 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft’s fifth round yesterday. Bisciotti has been the Ravens’ majority owner since 2004 and was reportedly “begging” general manager Eric DeCosta for the chance to draft a rookie this year. According to DeCosta, Bisciotti “did his research and studied the tape, talked to people.” Bisciotti notably has a really good relationship with Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney. Swinney moved Randall (6’3/232) from wide rec ...26 April 2026
Shuler, 23, racked up 206 solo tackles, 29 TFLs, six forced incompletions, three interceptions, 46 quarterback pressures and nine sacks as a four-year college player and three-year starter at USF. He lined up as a box defender on a vast majority of snaps, though he lined up at times over the slot and as an outside linebacker as well.26 April 2026
The Bengals waived Burton in December 2025 after a disappointing run with the team. Burton was a talented wide receiver prospect out of Alabama, who slipped to the 2024 NFL Draft’s third round. Still just 24 years old, Burton might have a chance to turn things around. He did not play at all last year and caught 4-of-14 targets for 107 yards in 2024.26 April 2026
Donaldson (6’2”/230) burst on the scene as a true freshman at West Virginia, rushing for 87-526-6 in seven games before a leg injury ended his season. Donaldson was recruited as a three-star tight end before moving to RB during training camp and quickly cemented himself as the starter for the Mountaineers. He rushed for 421-2,058-30 in three seasons before transferring to Ohio State last season. With the Buckeyes, Donaldson managed just 96 carries in 13 games, rushing for 361 yards and 10 sc ...26 April 2026
Shuler, 23, racked up 206 solo tackles, 29 TFLs, six forced incompletions, three interceptions, 46 quarterback pressures and nine sacks as a four-year college player and three-year starter at USF. He lined up as a box defender on a vast majority of snaps, though he lined up at times over the slot and as an outside linebacker as well.26 April 2026
The Patriots drafted Jennings via a third-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. This will be his first time playing for a new team. He is best suited to a rotational role, but can defend against the run as well as rush the passer. Last season, he totaled 15 quarterback pressures, two sacks and 13 tackles.26 April 2026
Smith spent eight seasons with the Buccaneers, who drafted him in the 2015 NFL Draft’s second round, before signing a one-year deal with the Chiefs back in 2023. He has not played since that season. In 2020, Smith’s Buccaneers defeated the Chiefs in Super Bowl LV and in 2023, his Chiefs defeated the 49ers in Super Bowl LVIII. Smith was also named to the PFWA All-Rookie Team in 2015. He earned more than $66.6 million over the course of his career.26 April 2026
The Broncos used a fourth-round pick to select Coleman in this year’ draft. While it’s not a high enough pick that suggests he will see significant playing time out of the gate, it sounds like he will have a chance to prove himself in certain situations with a chance to earn a heavier workload as he progresses this offseason and into the regular season. While both JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey stand in the way of Coleman, Dobbins is on a two-year deal and would cost just $2 million to cut next of ...26 April 2026
The Browns selected two receivers in the top-40 of last week’s draft, taking KC Concepcion 24th overall and Denzel Boston 39th overall. While they clearly addressed a massive weakness on the roster, Berry said he doesn’t expect the addition to have an impact on Jeudy, adding that he prefers to build a receiver room “with different skillsets” and that doesn’t require one player to be a “ball dominant player.” In a somewhat contradictory statement, Berry also said he expects Jeudy, t ...
