The franchised Sneed will also sign a new contract. It’s surprisingly light trade compensation, though Sneed is already 27 years old. He is also arguably “only” great, and not truly elite. The Chiefs, of course, would have never dealt Sneed had they not needed to keep their salary cap well managed alongside Patrick Mahomes’ monster contract. They chose interior superstar Chris Jones over Sneed, as would 31 other teams. Sneed heads to a rebuilding Titans squad, one that was routinely short-handed on the back end in 2023. He’s a big addition that should reverberate through all three levels of Tennessee’s defense.

Kosmider said head coach Sean Payton and Denver’s front office may be more amenable to chasing a quarterback in the first round after getting 2024 fifth and sixth round picks from the Browns in exchange for Jeudy. Kosmider believes the Broncos will target Michigan QB J.J. McCarthy, whose draft stock has skyrocketed over the past month and who could be a good fit for Payton’s balanced, somewhat conservative offense. There’s no universe in which Jarrett Stidham could hold off McCarthy for long, even if Stidham inexplicably gets the Week 1 starting job.

It had been trending this way all offseason, but NFLPA executive Troy Vincent confirmed the news on Thursday. The reasoning is apparently that the Eagles are good at it and no one else much is, so it’s not the menace it’s made out to be on social media and scream-shout daytime talk shows. The real question is if the Eagles will even maintain it as a staple, as C Jason Kelce has ridden off into the retirement sunset. It’s also fair to wonder if Philly won’t want Jalen Hurts taking as many hits after he banged his knee in 2023. Regardless, the option will remain on the table, and it will undoubtedly remain in the Eagles’ arsenal in some capacity.

As Jackson points out, whether or not the two sides can agree to a deal will likely depend on OBJ’s asking price. Given the WR3 role he’d be expected to play, it’s hard to imagine Beckham pricing himself out of a deal, but we’ll see what happens. In limited action with the Ravens last season, Beckham caught 35 passes for 565 yards and three touchdowns. He showed flashes of his old self at times, but it’s hard to imagine the 31-year-old receiver being used in an every-down role going at this point in his career. While he’d make for an interesting addition, it can’t be overlooked that the Dolphins ran the third-fewest pass plays in 11-personnel, which could make targets all the more difficult to come by.

Speaking on Wednesday, Ossenfort said of the Cardinals’ willingness to wheel and deal, “There will be a big neon sign that says ‘open’ and I don’t like it blinking, it messes with my eyes, but we’re always going to be listening.” The Cardinals are in a unique position with the No. 4 overall pick, as they’re the only team picking in the top four that doesn’t need a quarterback in a class that features four QBs that could go in the top five. Quarterback-needy teams who are picking behind the Cardinals could be willing to send away multiple high-value picks to move up and select a quarterback, meaning the Cardinals could have several offers worth listening to. We’ll see if anything materializes in the coming days, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see a team like the Giants or Vikings make a push for the No. 4 pick.

Cracraft returns to the Dolphins for a third season. He has put up 18 receptions for 223 yards and three touchdowns over his two seasons in Miami, missing six games due to a shoulder injury last year. Mike McDaniel adds Cracraft back to an efficient passing offense. Though the Dolphins will still be looking to add another receiver - most recently showing interest in Odell Beckham Jr. - Cracraft brings depth to a good receiving corps.

Additionally, CBS Sports’ Josina Anderson reports that Beckham is visiting the Dolphins on Thursday. Beckham was released at the start of the new league year, and has since garnered interest in free agency. The Dolphins are one team that has come knocking, looking to add him to their fast-paced offense. Beckham contributed 35 receptions for 565 yards and three touchdowns with the Ravens in 2023. He played in 14 games after sitting out a year with a torn ACL, though he is no longer the high-end receiver he once was. At this stage of his career, Beckham would be a No. 3 receiver in the Dolphins offense, playing the role of chain-mover while Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle speed downfield.

In his introductory press conference with the Jets, Williams — entering his age-30 season — said he’s four months removed from ACL surgery and should be ready to go in September. The timeline checks out since Williams suffered his ACL injury last September. The big-bodied downfield threat, who signed a one-year deal with the Jets this week, will serve as a much-needed No. 2 receiving option behind Garrett Wilson in 2024. His presence in the New York offense will be a boon for Aaron Rodgers as the 40-year-old QB returns from an Achilles tear.

Harrison didn’t work out at last month’s NFL Combine either. Apparently the blue-chip receiver believes he has nothing to gain from testing ahead of next month’s draft. The betting favorite to go to the Cardinals with the fourth overall pick, Harrison should immediately be a target hog with plenty of statistical upside with precious little receiving competition in Arizona.

While it was initially reported that Strnad would go to the Panthers, NFL Network’s Mike Garofolo reports that Strnad had a “change of heart” and will return to the Broncos. He was drafted by the Broncos in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, missing his rookie year with a wrist injury. The 27-year-old started five games at linebacker his second season, then became a core special teamer the last two seasons. Strnad will return to the Broncos with his special teams skills for at least another year.
