Jones underwent surgery on his neck in March. The Steelers declined to exercise his fifth-year option early in May after spending the No. 21 overall pick on OT Max Iheanachor. Fellow Steelers OT Troy Fautanu also recently told reporters that the team wants him to move to left tackle. Jones was present at OTAs last week, but did not participate in team drills. It appears as though he will have to compete for a starting role this season. In today’s report, DeFabo shared a video of Jones doing sl ...28 May 2026
A report from last week indicated that Johnson had not been present at the Bears’ facility. Veterans sometimes stay home early in the spring, so it wasn’t a huge issue, but it is nice to know that the Bears’ star cornerback is back in the building, working out with his teammates. Johnson was sidelined by a significant offseason injury last year, variously reported as groin, hamstring and calf issues. He played in Weeks 1 and 2 before ultimately undergoing core muscle surgery and returning ...28 May 2026
The free agent running back finished his rookie contract with the Raiders in 2025. He only appeared in six games and logged just 12 carries. With Dolphins UDFA Le’Veon Moss retiring from football, the team could need an extra body for training camp. White would fill that role, though ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler notes he is expected to work out for other teams in the coming weeks.28 May 2026
Per Glenn, the Jets knew about this issue before the draft, so it doesn’t come as a surprise to the team. Still, it’s a slight concern that Sadiq will miss some valuable reps during the offseason program. If he is full-go for camp, this won’t be much of an issue, but there is now some injury-related risk with the rookie tight end. Sadiq will likely open his career in a timeshare with 2025 second-round pick Mason Taylor. For now, fantasy managers should treat Sadiq as a high-upside TE2.28 May 2026
Kraft tore his ACL in Week 9 of the 2025 season. Packers GM Brian Gutekunst said after the draft that he expects Kraft back “early in the season.” Kraft previously told reporters he expects to start training camp on the PUP list, though the Packers could take him off whenever he is ready to practice. Kraft added that he expects to be ready by Week 1. As long as he is practicing in full by the end of camp, that should be an attainable goal. Kraft was on pace for over 1,000 yards and 13 touchd ...28 May 2026
Glenn added that Zappe took the second-team reps behind Geno Smith in practice on Wednesday. Zappe has the most NFL experience of the bunch, so that shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. It also doesn’t mean he will hold the QB2 job into Week 1. Since entering the NFL, Zappe ranks 78th out of 84 qualified quarterbacks in EPA per play (min. 150 plays). The good news for him is that Cook holds spot No. 84. As a fourth-round pick, Klubnik does have some potential, and his competition for the QB ...28 May 2026
Brissett is absent from the voluntary offseason program in search of a revised contract. He is only guaranteed $1.5 milion this year and can make at most $5.4 million. While Brissett isn’t anyone’s idea of a long-term starter, he is criminally underpaid even as a bridge option. LaFleur wasn’t worried about his absence, saying, “The hardest thing to teach a player is the speed of the game, an NFL game, in general. He’s played a lot of ball, so he’ll be just fine.” If this holdout tu ...28 May 2026
The Giants converted his base salary to a roster bonus, creating $6.5 million in cap space. The move will likely help the Giants finish signing their 2026 rookie class. Arvell Reese is the last rookie in need of a contract from the team. Thomas remains under contract through 2029.28 May 2026
Rapoport notes that the Eagles still want a first-round pick for Brown while the Pats haven’t budged in that regard. He added that the trade discussions could “drag on for the foreseeable future.” Brown’s relationships with the team and his quarterback seem to be broken beyond repair, and they already drafted his replacement in Makai Lemon. The Eagles shouldn’t have much leverage in the situation, but the Pats are also in desperate need of a true No. 1 receiver. The deal was initially ...28 May 2026
Faulk’s rookie deal is worth $17.1 million and is fully guaranteed. The Titans traded up with the Bills to land Faulk at the end of the first round, giving them the fifth-year option at the end of his deal. At 6'6/285, Faulk is a big-bodied defensive end who can defend the run and rush the passer. Robert Saleh will need to get the most out of him if he is going to turn the Titans’ defense around in 2026.28 May 2026
Garafolo added, “Other team leaders spoke up as well, and Dart and the players worked through it.” Dart caused a bit of a stir when he got on the stage at Rockland Community College to introduce Donald Trump for a political rally. Giants defender Abdul Carter took to X to voice his displeasure and offensive tackle Jermaine Eluemunor felt the need to clarify that the locker room was fine. Head coach John Harbaugh has reportedly spoken to Dart about the fiasco. Harbaugh himself has met with Tr ...28 May 2026
The Chargers signed Kolar and David Njoku in the offseason, adding them to a tight end room containing Oronde Gadsden. Popper mentions Njoku and Gadsden both “impact the game more as receivers than blockers.” Kolar is the best run blocker among the trio with pass-catching upside, finishing last season with 10 receptions for 142 yards behind Isaiah Likely and Mark Andrews with the Ravens. All three are capable pass-catchers and allows the Chargers to use three-tight-end sets, something Popper ...28 May 2026
Jackson was otherwise mum on contract extension talks, saying he wants to “keep those conversations private.” He arrived at OTAs after missing the first few practices last week sparked speculation of contract disagreements; Jackson gave his first public press conference since the Ravens were eliminated in Week 18 last season on Wednesday. While he is due for an extension, Jackson and the Ravens were unable to come to an agreement earlier in the offseason and the team instead restructured the ...27 May 2026
Miller mentioned he has lobbied publicly and privately for a return to the Broncos, but knows it is out of his control. The 37-year-old edge rusher tallied nine sacks for the Commanders last season, showing he still has something left in the tank as part of a pass-rushing rotation. He added that he would “love to assist and be a vice president to Bo Nix and Courtland Sutton.” The Broncos don’t necessarily need an addition at outside linebacker but having a veteran return to his original fr ...27 May 2026
Faulk’s rookie deal is worth $17.1 million and is fully guaranteed. The Titans traded up with the Bills to land Faulk at the end of the first round, giving them the fifth-year option at the end of his deal. At 6'6/285, Faulk is a big-bodied defensive end who can defend the run and rush the passer. Robert Saleh will need to get the most out of him if he is going to turn the Titans’ defense around in 2026.27 May 2026
Koo got a tryout with the Saints after the NFL Draft but did not land a contract in The Big Easy. Now he’ll compete with Lenny Krieg and Cade York for the kicker job in New York. Aftering being cut by the Giants and Falcons in 2025, this may be Koo’s last chance to make an NFL roster ahead of Week 1.27 May 2026
Flannigan-Fowles appeared in 10 games for the Giants last year and was credited with three starts. He totaled one sack, three TFLs, and 33 combined tackles. Flannigan-Fowles also logged over 100 special teams snaps for the sixth time in as many pro seasons. He will be a solid depth option for the Bills.27 May 2026
Campbell has yet to officially announce his retirement, but he will likely release a statement in the coming days. Assuming he is hanging up the cleats, Campbell played seven seasons in the pros. He appeared in one game for the Cowboys in 2025 and did not record any stats. Campbell looked like an NFL-caliber slot receiver early in his career, but injuries constantly got in the way. He finished his career with 123 catches for 1,117 yards and six scores.27 May 2026
Mauigoa’s deal will be worth roughly $31 million over four years. It also includes a fully guaranteed fifth-year team option. This leaves only Arvell Reese unsigned from the Giants’ 2026 class. Mauigoa was a career right tackle at Miami, but he’s expected to start at right guard as a rookie.
