ESPN’s Jordan Raanan reports free agent WR Odell Beckham Jr. met with Giants head coach John Harbaugh about joining the team.

31 March 2026

Though no deal is imminent, there has been consistent reported interest between Beckham and the Giants. He began his career in New York and also played for Harbaugh in Baltimore during the 2023 season. The 33-year-old last played for the Dolphins in 2024 and is eyeing a return to the league. Harbaugh met with Beckham at the NFL’s annual league meetings in Arizona, marking some progress towards a potential reunion.

NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell said, “the Rooney rule has been around a long time, we’ve adapted, we’ve changed it, and we’ll continue to do that.”

31 March 2026

Recent murmurs about changing the Rooney Rule have stemmed from the Florida Attorney General sending a letter asking for its elimination. In response, Goodell said, “we are aware of the laws and... we think the Rooney Rule is consistent with those.” The rule is intended to expand opportunities for minorities, requiring NFL teams to interview at least two external minority candidates for general manager, head coaching, and coordinator vacancies. Goodell made it clear in his press conference a ...

NFL media EVP Hans Schroeder said the league “realized fans felt like they were conflicted to choose between [MNF doubleheader games].”

31 March 2026

Schroeder said those extra games will go elsewhere on the schedule. The league was airing multiple games on Monday as part of a deal with Disney to increase total number of games aired by Disney throughout the season. Now, the league has a deal to sell Disney control of NFL Network and the MNF doubleheaders will no longer be a thing. Schroeder said the result was a miscalculation of fan interest and other windows will be looked at for airing those games.

Jets general manager Darren Mougey said the team plans to exercise EDGE Will McDonald’s fifth-year option.

31 March 2026

McDonald was taken No. 15 overall in the 2023 draft and is now eligible to have his fifth-year option picked up. In three seasons, McDonald has tallied 21.5 sacks, including back-to-back seasons of at least eight sacks. His option is expected to be around $14 million, making his contract for 2027 relatively light for a productive edge rusher. McDonald will head into year four with the Jets likely exploring extension talks to keep him long-term.

NFL team owners approved a temporary stadium lease for the Jaguars to play in Orlando in 2027.

31 March 2026

EverBank Stadium is undergoing a major renovation in 2027 — technically 2026 too, but the Jaguars will play that out with reduced capacity in Jacksonville. We’re used to imagining the Jaguars as a future English outlet, but it seems they have gotten everything together to remain in Jacksonville. Trevor Lawrence and Desmond Bane will battle for the Orlando spotlight in 2027.

Bills coach Joe Brady said Dalton Kincaid (knee) may be managed throughout the 2026 season.

31 March 2026

Kincaid has declined to have a torn PCL surgically repaired since 2024. “There’s a lot of things that he is pushing through that you guys might not see, and I think some of it is just learning how to play with certain elements of some movements that might not feel great, and he’s had to push through that,” Brady said. Both GM Brandon Beane and Brady alluded to having to manage Kincaid’s practice time in 2026 to keep him fresh for games and deal with pain tolerance issues. We’re not d ...

Broncos GM George Paton said J.K. Dobbins (foot) is fully healthy.

31 March 2026

We suspected as much based on the chatter that Dobbins could have played in the Super Bowl, but it’s good to get the affirmation from the people running the team. Dobbins profiles as the lead back in Denver at the start of the season, but we wouldn’t be surprised if RJ Harvey makes a real run at starting duties in either training camp or in the early portion of the year. Dobbins will be a risky RB3, as always, because he can’t stay healthy either way.

49ers GM John Lynch said the team would not re-sign WR Jauan Jennings.

31 March 2026

It’s officially “the denials are adding up” season for Jennings, who was also ruled out as an option for the Commanders last week. “He’ll find a good home, and Jauan will go play great football for someone,” Lynch said. “I can’t say enough for what that guy did; when that guy stepped between the lines, man, he was a presence, and they had to deal with him, and he won us a lot of games.” Jennings will probably need to take a one-year deal at this point.

Bills GM Brandon Beane said he’s had conversations with Brandin Cooks and his agent.

31 March 2026

Cooks is probably a fallback plan for the Bills if they don’t draft someone. Even if he’s signed, the pecking order in targets in Buffalo has radically changed with DJ Moore in town and fantasy managers shouldn’t be expecting more than a WR5 role for Cooks.

Falcons head coach Kevin Stefanski said RT Kaleb McGary (knee) should be “good to go” for training camp.

31 March 2026

McGary was lost for the season in a late August practice with what the team never elaborated on but we suspect was either an ACL tear or broken leg based on the time missed. McGary will be 11 months clear of the injury by training camp, so this isn’t a surprising update, but it’s good news that McGary is trending towards a return.

Jaguars exercised RT Anton Harrison’s fifth-year option.

31 March 2026

Over The Cap projects Harrison’s option at $19 million, but in announcing they’d pick it up, Jaguars GM James Gladstone said they’ll have “deeper conversations” on a long-term extension. Harrison, 24, had his best season yet in 2025, registering a career-high 75.6 PFF pass block grade while protecting Trevor Lawrence.

Lions signed S Chuck Clark, formerly of the Steelers.

31 March 2026

Clark will be veteran depth as the Lions figure out where they’ll be early in the season with Kerby Joseph (knee) and Brian Branch (Achilles) being in doubt for Week 1. Clark played 437 defensive snaps for the Steelers last year and was an exceptional run defender, notching an 83.1 PFF run defense grade.

Chargers coach Jim Harbaugh said Rashawn Slater (patellar) is “ahead of schedule.”

31 March 2026

Slater is apparently already running full speed. The 27-year-old stalwart left tackle’s absence was a big reason the Chargers struggled badly in pass protection in 2025. This update doesn’t give clarity on his OTA status, but more than a year removed from tearing his patellar tendon, Slater is likely to be ready for training camp.

Steelers coach Mike McCarthy said, when asked about Kaleb Johnson, “everybody’s got clean slate.”

31 March 2026

Johnson, of course, finds himself behind Jaylen Warren and free-agent signing Rico Dowdle, so perhaps the slate is clean but that doesn’t exactly mean he’s going to find carries. Johnson’s in a precarious position on the depth chart at this point. He certainly doesn’t have much expected fantasy value this year without injuries ahead of him, and his dynasty stock is well down from where it was last offseason.

Raiders head coach Klint Kubiak said he thinks it helps a young quarterback “if they can sit behind a mature adult and watch how they run the show.”

31 March 2026

The Raiders have been linked to Kirk Cousins as a bridge quarterback ahead of obvious No. 1 pick Fernando Mendoza for most of this offseason, and this helps explain why that is. Kubiak did say that “you might not have that veteran to show him the way.” The way the Raiders currently set up, they do not have that quarterback in the room. Mendoza will almost certainly start the majority of the season for the Raiders assuming the pick is completed, but these quotes lend some credence to the idea ...

Cowboys owner/GM Jerry Jones said “make no mistake about it, we have long-term plans for [George] Pickens.”

31 March 2026

Of course, Jones then undercut his point by suggesting to NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo that Pickens could “save a lot of money” if he “worked without an agent.” Those wacky NFL owners never learn, do they folks? This has all the makings of a long holdout as the two sides try to get Jones to converse with David Mulugheta.

NOLA.com’s Matthew Paras reports the Saints would “still like to address Alvin Kamara’s contract.”

31 March 2026

In other words, the Saints want Kamara to take a paycut after a down and injury-riddled year as he enters his age-31 season. The Saints could also still release him or trade him, per Paras. Kellen Moore said Kamara is “certainly on the roster” on Monday, but it sounds like that might not be the case much longer.

NOLA.com’s Matthew Paras reports the Saints “haven’t entirely balked at” a $30 million average salary for Chris Olave, “but don’t appear to have gotten there quite yet.”

31 March 2026

The complicating factor about Olave is his concussion history, which leads Paras to believe the Saints are interested in paying Olave and taking on some risk, “but not all of it.” It’s possible this hinges on the guaranteed money as much as the salary. Nine receivers currently make at least $30 million a season, so it’s a reasonable target for Olave despite the receiver missing nine games in 2024 due to concussions.

Ravens coach Jesse Minter said he’s “got a lot of confidence in” Rashod Bateman.

31 March 2026

“I know he’s hungry. He’s ready to get back to what he is.” It’s always touching to see new coach energy. Anyway, Bateman all but disappeared from the offense last year and, in three of his last four seasons, has produced fewer than 400 receiving yards. He’s persona non grata for fantasy purposes at this point.

Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said “I don’t know” if Tank Dell (knee) will be ready for OTAs but he knows “he’ll [be] back at some point this year.”

31 March 2026

Dell will be a fascinating fantasy football player and makes a nice late-round dart throw in best ball while his stock remains low. Missing OTAs could help that. On paper, he would seem to be the team’s second-most established wideout after Nico Collins. Health will be the question. Dell could be a quick riser as we get closer to the regular season pending how offseason reports go.
