Taylor Heinicke retired after 11 years in the NFL.

07 May 2026

Heinicke most recently spent time on the Chargers’ roster, but was released in August 2025. He logged 29 starts in his career, 24 of which occurred during his time with the Commanders from 2020-22. Over the course of his career, Heinicke threw for 6,663 yards, 39 touchdowns and 28 interceptions, and rushed for 608 yards and three touchdowns. He entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent with the Vikings, and spent time with the Patriots, Texans, Panthers and Falcons as well.

Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said the team was “afraid to do certain things” with WR Xavier Worthy after he suffered a shoulder injury in Week 1.

07 May 2026

Worthy suffered a fully torn labrum after colliding with TE Travis Kelce in Week 1 last year. The injury sidelined him until Week 4, and he never once cleared 85 yards in a single game. Worthy entered the season with high expectations after posting an 8/157/2 receiving line in the Chiefs’ Super Bowl LIX loss to the Eagles in his 2024 rookie season. Per The Athletic’s Jesse Newell, the Chiefs “limited Worthy’s routes a year ago to protect him” last year, but Reid believes that Worthy, n ...

The Athletic’s Jesse Newell believes Chiefs WR Rashee Rice has “a long way to go” before the team will consider signing him to a contract extension.

07 May 2026

Rice is entering the final year of his rookie contract. Newell notes that the Chiefs “love [Rice] on the field even if he’s been unreliable off of it.” Star players often receive extensions even if off-field concerns are present, but Rice reportedly “needs to prove he can go a calendar year without ending up in negative offseason headlines.” Newell believes that if Rice can stay in headlines, purely due to his on-field performance, “it’s at least possible” that the Chiefs will ta ...

Cardinals QB Carson Beck said his “arm is as strong as it’s ever been,” now 18 months removed from elbow surgery.

07 May 2026

Beck underwent surgery to repair the UCL in his right elbow in December 2024. His recent comments come after a 2025 season at Miami in which he averaged just a 4.8-yard aDOT. With veteran QB Jacoby Brissett hoping for a new contract, Beck could be afforded opportunities to back up his comments in training camp this summer. At best, Beck’s pocket passing style lends itself to a QB2 fantasy valuation, but he might be able to manage games in a fantasy-friendly manner for his pass catchers. That s ...

Jets designated DL Paschal Ekeji as their exempt/international player.

07 May 2026

The move adds a spot to the Jets’ practice squad, allowing the former rugby player to continue developing without counting against the NFL’s roster limits. Ekeji, 24, joined the Jets last season, but did not play. The Jets also waived OL Gus Hartwig and S Chris Smith II.

NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports that Falcons TE Kyle Pitts has officially signed the franchise tag.

07 May 2026

Pelissero’s colleague, Ian Rapoport, reported that Pitts had signed the franchise tag back on April 7th, so this is a bit surprising. Pitts was rumored to be on the trade block entering the 2026 NFL Draft, but the team cannot trade an unsigned player. Maybe there is more at play here. Time will tell. Regardless, Pitts is set to make $15.045 million on the tag this year.

Buccaneers agreed to terms with third-round pick WR Ted Hurst on a four-year contract.

07 May 2026

Given the Buccaneers’ crowded wide receiver corps, Hurst could have a tough time getting on the field this season. Hurst was an efficient player in his third and final college season, averaging 2.42 yards per route run and the Buccaneers have done well drafting wide receivers in recent seasons. He is an intriguing pick in dynasty rookie drafts. Reports from earlier today said Hurst had signed his rookie contract, but Tampa Bay Times’ Rick Stroud later clarified that Hurst and the team had on ...

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport believes Bengals QB Joe Burrow is “fully onboard” with the team’s offseason developments.

07 May 2026

Burrow has been present for the Bengals’ recent voluntary workouts. Readers might remember that Burrow told reporters back in December 2025 that although he “can’t see” a scenario in which he leaves the Bengals in 2026, he has thought about playing elsewhere. Those thoughts are evidently a thing of the past. Burrow is now quoted as having said that he is “excited” to see the front office’s initiative this offseason, which led to an overhauled defensive line, featuring four new play ...

Bears waived DB Zah Frazier.

07 May 2026

The Bears drafted Frazier in the fifth round last year and spent the entire season on the non-football injury/illness list. Per NBC Sports’ Pro Football Talk, the Bears said, it was due to a personal matter. Another team may take a flier on him this spring.

Buccaneers signed third-round pick WR Ted Hurst to a four-year contract.

07 May 2026

Given the Buccaneers’ crowded wide receiver corps, Hurst could have a tough time getting on the field this season. Hurst was an efficient player in his third and final college season, averaging 2.42 yards per route run and the Buccaneers have done well drafting wide receivers in recent seasons. He is an intriguing pick in dynasty rookie drafts.

Titans OC Brian Daboll said the team is installing the new system and QB Cam Ward “is able to pick things up very quickly.”

07 May 2026

This is good to hear. Switching offensive systems in one’s second professional season is no easy feat. Daboll has helped develop young quarterbacks in the past. His experience in this regard is undoubtedly good for all involved. Ward is currently in the low-end QB2 tier for fantasy. Daboll also said it has been “helpful” to have QB Mitchell Trubisky in the mix, and noted that QB Will Levis “has picked up the system well.” His comments on QB Hendon Hooker were limited to Hooker having p ...

Buccaneers signed No. 15 overall pick EDGE Rueben Bain Jr. to a four-year contract.

Colts released S Nasir Adderley.

07 May 2026

Adderley signed with the Colts on April 14th following a three-year retirement stint. He last played for the Chargers in 2022 and posted a 62.2 PFF defense grade that season. While another team could certainly sign him, the short-lived return does not bode well for him. Another retirement announcement could be on the way. The Colts also waived LB John Bullock.

Colts released CB Kenny Moore.

07 May 2026

Moore broke up three passes, logged one interception, 41 tackles, three quarterback pressures and two sacks last year, while also missing Weeks 4-6 with an Achilles injury. ESPN’s Adam Schefter curiously listed Moore as a safety when breaking news of the release. Moore lined up as a slot cornerback on 62.1 percent of his 7,742 career snaps. He played perimeter cornerback (21.1 percent) and lined up as a box defender (12.2 percent) as well, but rarely played free safety (0.7 percent). Perhaps h ...

Vikings requested an interview with Chargers assistant general manager Chad Alexander for the team’s general manager vacancy.

07 May 2026

Alexander was a finalist for the Dolphins’ general manager vacancy earlier this offseason. Rams assistant general manager John McKay and Seahawks assistant general manager Nolan Teasley are also candidates for the role, and per ESPN’s Kevin Seifert, Vikings executive vice president of football operations Rob Brzezinski “has expressed interest in the job.” Seifert notes that all external candidates come from a scouting background.

Falcons signed CB Darren Hall, formerly of the Cardinals.

07 May 2026

Hall entered the NFL as a fourth-round pick with the Falcons in 2021. He was cut after two seasons. He eventually returned to action in 2024 after spending time on multiple practice squads for two seasons. Hall appeared in 13 games last year with two starts, primarily seeing the field on special teams.

Giants released LB Swayze Bozeman.

07 May 2026

The team also cut DT Marlon Tuipulotu, WR Courtney Jackson, and DT Elijah Chatman. The moves were made to free up space on the roster for UDFAs ahead of rookie minicamp. Bozeman appeared in six games for the Giants last year, contributing mostly on special teams.

Vikings requested an interview with 49ers assistant general manager RJ Gillen for their general manager vacancy.

07 May 2026

The team has also requested interviews with Titans assistant general manager Dave Ziegler and Bills assistant general manager Terrance Gray. Gillen joined the 49ers as a scouting assistant in 2015. He worked his way up the corporate ladder and was eventually promoted to his current role last offseason.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Aaron Rodgers is meeting with the Steelers for “further discussion.”

07 May 2026

The news originally came from Adam Crowley of 93.7 The Fan. Crowley noted that Rodgers is expected to be in town Thursday night, “with the expectation of him signing this weekend.” Rapoport wasn’t as steadfast in a deal getting done, but he did confirm that Rodgers is in Pittsburgh to work on a potential contract. There were previous reports that Rodgers could be interested in signing with the Cardinals, but that fit never made sense for either side. All signs point to Rodgers re-upping wi ...
