Both were competing for backup/special teams spots on the club.

Beckham’s rumored interest in returning to his former team seems to have taken another step, as the Giants had him at the facilities today for a physical and a workout. The 33-year-old receiver was unsigned during the 2022 and 2025 seasons, and when we last saw him in Miami, he offered little to be impressed with, catching 9-of-18 targets for 55 scoreless yards in a limited role. If he does re-sign with the Giants, Beckham will likely do so on a one-year deal with a chance to earn a role in camp. Given his injury history, age, and time away from the game, it’s genuinely hard to imagine him offering much to an NFL offense at this stage in his career.

The last we heard of Nacua, he was being checked into a “luxury treatment facility” in Malibu just days after he was alleged to have bitten a woman and made “unprovoked antisemitic remarks” to her. It’s been a tumultuous few months for the 24-year-old receiver who has taken the league by storm since joining the Rams as a fifth-round pick back in 2023. Now in the final year of his rookie contract, Nacua faces the possibility of having to play out the year without an extension, given his current situation. The fact that he’s back with the Rams for their offseason program is a sign that things are trending in the right direction for him. We’ll see where things go from here.

Garoppolo, 34, is the preferred backup for Matthew Stafford and the Rams after he spent the last two seasons serving as the Rams’ QB2. If he opts to continue playing, he will most likely return to the Rams on a one-year deal, but Garoppolo is reportedly considering hanging things up. The former second-round pick has started 64 games in his career, with 55 of those starts coming with the 49ers. He’s attempted just 41 passes over the last two seasons and did not attempt a pass in 2025.

Wright will now be under contract through the 2027 season. The former No. 10 overall pick allowed just three sacks on 436 pass-blocking snaps last season while also allowing a career-low 19 quarterback pressures. Among 68 tackles with at least 500 snaps last season, Wright’s 81.4 PFF blocking grade ranked 14th-highest and earned Second-team All-Pro honors. If he’s able to turn out a strong 2026 campaign, Wright will likely find himself in line for a long-term extension before the start of the 2027 season.

Aubrey will receive $20 million in guaranteed money, the most ever for a kicker in league history. The 31-year-old kicker has established himself as one of the top legs in the league since joining the Cowboys as a 28-year-old UDFA in 2023, making the Pro Bowl in all three seasons while also being named a First-team All-Pro in 2023. Aubrey is an impressive 24-for-27 on field goals from 50-plus yards for his career and will now be under contract through the 2030 season.

The Colts have agreed to explore trades for both Moore and Richardson, so it doesn’t come as much of a surprise to hear that neither player plans to be present for the voluntary offseason workout programs. For now, the trade market for both players has been quiet, but it’s possible they gain more steam during or after the NFL Draft, once teams have had a chance to evaluate their rosters and identify where needs still exist.

After redshirting much of his rookie season, Boutte has totaled 76 receptions for 1,140 yards and nine touchdowns over the last two seasons while playing primarily as a deep threat on the outside. Boutte posted a 33-551-6 line last season on 46 targets, and among players with at least 45 targets, his 17.5 ADOT ranked third-highest in the league behind Alec Pierce (20.0) and Christian Watson (18.0). The Patriots signed Romeo Doubs earlier this offseason and remain the frontrunners to trade for A.J. Brown this summer. Should Brown land with the Pats, Boutte could become an expendable player with some trade value as he looks to impress in the final year of his rookie deal in hopes of securing a new contract next offseason.

Ariaza has spent the last two seasons with the Chiefs, appearing in all 34 games while averaging 48.2 yards per punt. The “Punt God” attempted 56 punts for the Chiefs last season and landed 27 of those kicks inside his opponent’s 20-yard line.

As serious as it sounds, Pelissero says that Nussmeier “has been asymptomatic since just prior to the Senior Bowl,” but if any complications persist, Nussmeier could undergo a minimally invasive procedure to remove the cyst, which would sideline him for 2-3 weeks. Nussmeier is believed to be a Day 2 prospect in this year’s upcoming draft and struggled during his final season at LSU due to his injuries. Hopefully, this explanation as to the cause of his injury/discomfort will mitigate any concerns teams may have about his health ahead of this week’s draft.

The last we heard about Greenard was at the league’s winter meetings, when head coach Kevin O’Connell said he expected Greenard to be part of the team in 2026. Greenard broke out for a 12-sack season in 2024 but was held to just three sacks over 12 games last season while totaling 38 tackles and 10 TFLs. He remains under contract through 2027, and the Vikings are reportedly looking for a high-end Day 2 draft pick in exchange for his services. After losing EDGE Jaelan Phillips to the Panthers in free agency earlier this offseason, the Eagles have a need to add another pass-rusher to a defense that totaled 42 sacks last season. Schefter reports trade discussions between the two sides “have lost steam in recent weeks,” but that the two sides could revisit those discussions during this week’s draft.
