  • HOU Wide Receiver #1
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Diggs is in Foxboro to meet with the Patriots, who could use help at wide receiver. Prior to tearing his ACL in Week 8, Diggs caught 47 passes for 497 yards and three touchdowns for the Texans. The 31-year-old was a Pro-Bowler and 1,000-yard receiver all four seasons with the Bills prior to being dealt to the Texans. He has had a dry free agency market thus far as he heads into his age-32 season with uncertainty around his health for Week 1. The Patriots have missed out on Chris Godwin and others at the wide receiver position this offseason. Adding Diggs would give Drake Maye a reliable target, even if it takes a few games for Diggs to return and get into rhythm with the offense.
  • HOU Defensive End #55
    NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports Hunter is now the NFL’s second-highest paid defensive end and will make $32 million this season, a $12.5 million bump from his previous contract. His deal becomes a two-year, $55.1 million agreement with $54.1 million guaranteed. Hunter initially signed a two-year deal with the Texans last offseason and now gets one more season in Houston with a pay bump after tallying 12 sacks and a Pro Bowl in 2024. With Will Anderson opposite Hunter, the Texans keep a menacing pass rush through 2026. This sets another price point in an expensive edge market with pass rushers like Trey Hendrickson and Micah Parsons next to cash in.
  • MIN Wide Receiver #14
    Moore signs with the Vikings after a free-agency tour took him to several different teams. The 24-year-old was on the Falcons’ roster last season, but suffered a knee injury that kept him out the entire season. Prior to getting dealt to the Falcons, Moore spent three seasons with the Cardinals and tallied 135 receptions for 1,201 yards and three touchdowns. The Vikings add him as depth to the wide receiver spot and he will have the chance to take on slot snaps for the team. Moore is a useful target in the shallow area if he can stay healthy for 2025.
  • HOU Tackle #74
    Houston shockingly traded Laremy Tunsil to the Commanders for a haul of draft picks this offseason, leaving them with a glaring hole at left tackle. That was on top of the many other deficiencies across their offensive line. While the Robinson move alone won’t fix their blocking issues, it’s a start. Robinson was traded to the Vikings last year after Minnesota lost Christian Darrisaw to a season-ending injury. He had played well as a pass-blocker in Jacksonville but struggled in Minnesota, allowing 49 pressures on 446 pass-blocking reps according to Pro Football Focus. He should fare better in Houston with a full offseason to learn the offense.
  • WAS Wide Receiver #1
    The “reworked” nomenclature is typically reserved for pay cuts, but that couldn’t be further from the truth here. The Commanders only took on non-guaranteed money from Samuel’s contract when they traded for him, meaning they technically owed him nothing. There was never any chance of them cutting him, so guaranteeing his salary was a low-risk move for the Commanders. Washington may have also added void years to the deal, spreading out his cap hit over multiple seasons. Even after being big spenders in free agency, the Commanders still had over $20 million in cap space before this restructure.
  • FA Quarterback #11
    The Wilson caveat is doing some heavy lifting here as the Browns can have the former Steeler if they want him. Most of the quarterback dominoes have already fallen and Aaron Rodgers appears to be more sought after than Wilson. Still, Russ could wind up elsewhere, putting the Browns in a serious bind if they don’t figure out the position during the draft. If signed, Wentz would join recently-acquired Kenny Pickett as the Week 1 starting options. Wentz made one start for the Chiefs last year, throwing for 98 yards in a meaningless Week 18 contest. Wentz is purely a bridge quarterback and a weak one at best, but the Browns could be forced to give him a shot as they pick up the pieces following the failed Deshaun Watson trade.
  • LAR Cornerback #4
    Witherspoon signed a one-year deal with the Rams in 2023 and started all 17 games for the team. He returned on another one-year deal last offseason and played a reduced role, only being credited with five starts across 13 appearances. Witherspoon broke up nine passes and picked off one throw. He also recorded a sack and a forced fumble across two playoff starts. Witherspoon’s days as an every-down player may be behind him, but he remains a good depth piece for LA.
  • NFL Commissioner
    The proposal is to give “both teams the opportunity to possess the ball regardless of the outcome of the first possession, subject to a 15-minute overtime period in the regular season.” The current rule for the regular season has a 10-minute overtime period where both teams must possess the ball, unless the team receiving the opening kickoff scores a touchdown on its initial possession. There were 16 overtime games during the 2024 regular season, and none in the playoffs.
  • PHI Quarterback #1
    It’s one of a few rules tweaks proposed by teams for the 2025 season, and it comes after Green Bay’s defense was totally unable to stop the Eagles’ use of the tush push in their postseason loss to Philadelphia in January. The tush push — a play in which the QB is pushed from behind by a teammate to convert a short yardage play — has proven nearly unstoppable for Jalen Hurts and the Eagles offense. The combination of an elite offensive line and Hurts’ unmatched lower body strength has made the tush push a cheat code for the Eagles over the past few seasons. Some teams with far less powerful quarterbacks — including the Packers — have used tight ends to run the tush push. The Eagles in 2024 converted 71 percent of their fourth down attempts, the fourth highest rate in the NFL.
  • FA Wide Receiver #14
    Moore has now visited with the Vikings, Bears, Jets and Titans after missing the 2024 season with a knee injury. Entering his age-25 season, Moore is seeking a new team after totaling 135 receptions, 1,201 yards and three touchdowns over three seasons with the Cardinals before departing for the Falcons and never suiting up for a regular season game for Atlanta. He has operated primarily as a slot receiver. The diminutive Moore also had 249 rushing yards and one touchdown during his time with Arizona. Moore would have a path to starter’s snaps in a Tennessee offense without much depth in the wideout room.
