  • FA Running Back #28

    ESPN’s Marcel Louis-Jacques reports RB Matt Breida could be one of the team’s training camp cuts.
    Breida emerged as an undrafted free agent in 2017 with the 49ers. He went on average 5.0 yards per carry across three seasons with the 49ers. Injuries limited his availability however, and he was shipped to the Dolphins for a 5th round pick in 2020. Breida quickly fell to the back of the Miami RB rotation, and managed just 68 touches for the season. With RB Antonio Williams showing well in Week 17 last year, Breida will likely need to earn his way onto the roster through special teams.

    Giants signed fourth-round RB Cam Skattebo to a four-year contract.
    Skattebo has already drawn some buzz during the offseason program, with SNY’s Connor Hughes saying it wouldn’t be surprising for the rookie to slot in as the Giants’ third-down back. At 5'10/219, Skattebo has the size of a thumper but the profile of an elite pass-catcher. He caught 45 passes for 605 yards and three scores in 2024 while also running for 1,711 yards and 21 touchdowns on the ground. Skattebo is a player who could quickly rise up fantasy draft boards if the drumbeat continues into training camp.
    'Not much competition' for Jets WR2 job
    Patrick Daugherty and Denny Carter evaluate the New York Jets' wide receiver corps behind Garrett Wilson and rattle off names of pass-catchers who could compete with Josh Reynolds for the WR2 role.
  • HOU Defensive Back #10
    Texans signed CB Damon Arnette, formerly of the UFL’s Houston Roughnecks.
    The former first-round pick flamed out quickly in Las Vegas before bouncing around the league with brief stints in Miami and Kansas City. The Chiefs released him after he was arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon, carrying a concealed weapon without a permit, and two counts of possession of controlled substances. Arnette eventually found his way to the UFL where he totaled five pass breakups and a pick-six for the Roughnecks. He will look to earn a depth role on the Texans over the summer.
  • BAL Cornerback #23
    Ravens signed CB Jaire Alexander, formerly of the Packers, to a one-year, $4 million contract.
    Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, Alexander can make another $2 million via incentives. Green Bay explored trade options for the disgruntled corner this offseason and also made an offer to keep him in town on a restructured deal, but nothing came of their efforts. They eventually chose to release Alexander after no other resolution was found. As they tend to do, the Ravens quickly swooped in to sign the former shutdown corner. Alexander has still been effective when on the field in recent seasons, but his health has been a constant issue and was reportedly a source of frustration for the Packers organization. He has appeared in more than seven games just once in the past four seasons. Baltimore’s pass defense was a disaster over the first half of the 2024 season before turning the corner over the final two months. Bolstering the secondary with Alexander should help prevent a potential backslide in 2025.
  • GB Wide Receiver
    ESPN’s Rob Demovsky reports WR Matthew Golden “seemed to immediately gel” with Jordan Love in offseason practices.
    It’s good news for the 23rd overall selection in the 2025 draft. Golden, Demovsky added, “should get plenty of playing time right away” in a Green Bay offense that could be without Christian Watson (knee) to start the regular season. While it seems unlikely Golden will establish himself as an unquestioned No. 1 option in the run-first Packers offense, he could see a good number of downfield looks from Love, an excellent deep ball thrower. Golden’s struggles against man coverage in college suggest he won’t be an elite NFL wideout by any measure.
  • FA Kicker #18
    Jets waived K Anders Carlson.
    New York parted ways with Carlson and signed K Harrison Mevis as they look for a starter headed into training camp. Carlson, who signed with the team last November and continued to struggle. He made eight of ten field goal tries and nine of 11 extra points over five games with the Jets in 2024. Carlson, who lost his starting job in Green Bay before coming to New York, will likely catch on with another team this summer.
  • NE Running Back
    The Athletic’s Chad Graff reports “it’s still unknown” whether TreVeyon Henderson “can be a true bell-cow back instead of just a good third-down back.”
    Graff said Henderson has been by far the most explosive Patriots offensive player in offseason practices, adding that the rookie’s “development as a runner between the tackles will go a long way toward determining his success.” Graff said Henderson, the 38th pick in the 2025 draft, “probably won’t have to do a ton of [between the tackles running], particularly if Stevenson gets the majority of the early-down carries. But for this draft pick to be worth it, Henderson needs to improve as a between-the-tackles rusher as he presumably takes on a bigger role in the years to come.” Even if Henderson doesn’t take on a three-down role in the New England offense, he should have every chance to usurp Stevenson — one of the league’s least efficient rushers — as the team’s primary back in 2025.
  • LAR Running Back #23
    Rams coach Sean McVay said the team has “made progress” on a contract extension for Kyren Williams.
    This is not all that different than late May’s update that McVay gave when he said the Rams were making “healthy and positive progress” on said extension. Williams will likely sign an extension later this summer if the tenor of the two parties is to be believed at this point.
  • BAL Quarterback #8
    Lamar Jackson said “I don’t want to talk about it,” when asked about contract talks with the Ravens.
    He did respond to a media member saying John Harbaugh’s idea of Jackson being the NFL’s highest-paid player by noting “it sounds good.” It’s not thoroughly surprising that Jackson is not forthcoming about the status of negotiations with the Ravens. We expect the sides will continue to negotiate as the offseason drags on, and all sourced reporting indicates that they should reach agreement at some point.
  • ATL Running Back #35
    Falcons signed RB Jashaun Corbin.
    Corbin, 24, led the UFL in rushing in 2025 with 514 yards. Corbin has bounced around between the Giants and Panthers the previous two seasons after coming out in the 2022 class. He went undrafted. Corbin figures to be a deep backup who won’t be worthy of fantasy attention without several injuries in front of him. To make room, the Falcons waived RB Jase McClellan, who the team drafted in the sixth round last year. McClellan had just 19 offensive snaps in his rookie season and was only active for two games.
  • LV Tight End #87
    ESPN’s Ryan McFadden believes Raiders TE Michael Mayer “could make a jump” in 2025.
    The third-year tight end missed several games last season due to a personal issue and spent the offseason being a rumored trade target. Mayer obviously won’t cut deeply into Brock Bowers’ snap share, but he has a chance to cut into Tre Tucker and Jack Bech’s playing time if the Raiders feel that Mayer is one of their best eleven. “I think Mike’s been outstanding,” Raiders OC Chip Kelly told reporters before noting that “I checked, you can play with two tight ends in a game at the same time, and sometimes you can play with three tight ends they told me. So, maybe we can get to that if we have to.”
