The Seminoles drew their fair share of flak for a deflating start to the early signing period, but they flipped stud S Jaiden Woodbey from an Ohio State commitment late Wednesday night and now follow it up by grabbing Bolden. This can be directly attributed to the presence of HC Willie Taggart. The 6-foot-1, 170-pounder had been committed to Taggart’s Oregon squad up until Dec. 5, then reopened his recruitment and will now be following Taggart to Tallahassee. Bolden ranks as Rivals’ No. 18 corner prospect in the 2018 class.

McMillian, 26, signed the one-year restricted free-agent tender that the Broncos offered him this offseason, but he was ostensibly hoping that the front office would offer him an extension this summer. The former undrafted free agent has been the Broncos’ starting slot cornerback since 2023. The Broncos, however, possess a deep cornerback unit, so they are in no rush to invest more at the position. McMillian will make $5.767 million this year.

The News Tribune’s Gregg Bell notes that Price got “entire drives with the starters Wednesday,” which was more first-team work than the 32nd pick in this year’s draft got in OTAs.” Price is still behind RB George Holani in the pecking order, but Price’s increased involvement is a good sign. Bell referred to Price as the “RB1A” in a social media post, linking to the article in reference, indicating he still thinks Price will be the team’s starter. Holani has simply earned the coaching staff’s trust and could have a role in the regular season. We will see how things shake out in training camp, though.

Back in May, Macdonald thought Horton would have a chance to return in time for the Seahawks’ three-day mandatory minicamp, which is currently underway. That will not happen. Macdonald said, “it’s still all positive,” when asked about Horton’s rehab. He just needs a little more time. Horton injured his shin in practice, early in November last year. The team waited until later in the month to move him to injured reserve, where he spent the remainder of the season. Horton’s skill set overlaps with WR Rashid Shaheed, who secured a big payday this offseason. It could be tough for Horton to earn reliable playing time this year.

The pass protection and receiving talents that Holani showcased in the Seahawks’ Super Bowl LX run earned him the coaching staff’s trust last year. Although Holani is operating as the Seahawks’ current RB1, The News Tribune’s Gregg Bell notes that the team is increasing rookie RB Jadarian Price’s first-team involvement. Given Price’s first-round draft capital, it seems likely that he will overtake Holani in the practice rotation at some point this summer, but Holani seemingly does have a chance to retain a role once the season begins. Stay tuned.

Smith announced his retirement in the middle of the 2025 season after signing a one-year deal with Philly just ahead of Week 1. His release makes him a free agent and is an indication that he plans to return to football this year. Smith totaled 1.5 sacks in five games with the Eagles last year. He is likely a part-time player at this point in his career, but Smith still has enough left in the tank to contribute on a playoff-caliber roster.

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the deal includes $37 million guaranteed. At $17.5 million per year, Brewer now trails only Tyler Linderbaum and Creed Humphrey in annual salary among centers. Pro Football Focus graded him as their No. 2 overall center last year and he led the position in run-blocking grade. Brewer also has experience at both guard spots, giving him some extra versatility, even if he is best deployed at center.

Moore didn’t outright confirm that Kamara would be with the team this year. When asked whether Kamara would be on the team, Moore only said, “I think that’s how you always prepare.” Kamara and the Saints are in a bit of a standoff, with the Saints seemingly wanting him to take a pay cut while having no leverage to force the issue. The veteran runner made a surprise appearance at OTAs last week to make his presence known, though he was only with the team for a single day. Moore said he expects Kamara to be present at minicamp next week. For now, it looks like Kamara will be a Saint this year. He will likely play a change-of-pace role behind Travis Etienne.

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Mahomes is set to make $504.7 million between now and the 2033 season. Mahomes initially signed his record-setting, 10-year extension in 2020. It was worth $450 million at the time. Quarterback salaries have since skyrocketed, making Mahomes’ contract one of the most team-friendly deals for a high-end quarterback in the NFL. Before the extension, Mahomes was just the 13th-highest-paid quarterback in the league at $45 million per year. He will make $64 million per year, a new high-water mark for the league, starting next year. Schefter also noted that the first four years of the deal are fully guaranteed and contract mechanisms functionally guarantee the rest.

McMillan has been in and out of practice during OTAs. He told reporters that he feels good now, though that was after missing today’s practice. McMillan played through a foot injury late in the 2025 season. It didn’t cost him any time, but it’s still slightly concerning that the issue hasn’t gone away entirely. As long as McMillan is able to suit up for the start of training camp, fantasy managers should still consider the reigning Offensive Rookie of the Year as a high-end WR2.

LaFleur said Proctor will miss “quite a bit of time” and eventually added, “if not the whole year.” It sounds like the fourth-round rookie will likely need season-ending surgery. Proctor was a standout performer at the 2026 NFL Combine after notching nine sacks at Southeastern Louisiana in his final season of college ball. Though he was likely slated for a part-time role in his first pro season, it’s still a blow to an Arizona defense that ranked 29th in points allowed last year.
