The ninth-ranked prospect in the transfer portal per 24/7 Sports, Verse (6'4/221) shined in his two seasons for the Great Danes. He was named rookie of the year in the Colonial Athletic Conference during the shortened spring season and amassed 9.5 sacks and 11.5 tackles for loss this fall. He spent a lot of time talking to last year’s transfer edge rushers for the Seminoles Jermaine Johnson and Keir Thomas and their production stuck out to him in their first year with the program. Verse will have three seasons of eligibility remaining.

The news was first reported by ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler. A former second-round pick by the Panthers in the 2021 NFL Draft, Marshall has now been cut from the worst wide receiver room in the NFL. Marshall signed a reserve/future contract earlier this offseason, but fell short in his bid to make the roster. He last appeared in an NFL regular season game with the Raiders in 2024.

The news was first reported by ESPN’s Adam Schefter. A former starting linebacker with the Raiders, Roberts joined the Steelers earlier this month as linebacker depth. Without an injury, there ultimately wasn’t room for him on the 53-man roster. Roberts started 16 games for the Raiders last year and had 90 total tackles. He’ll hit the open market where he could get a call from a linebacker-needy team.

With Miller cut and Quinn Ewers traded, the Dolphins currently have 2026 UDFA Mark Gronowski as their Malik Willis backup. It seems obvious they’ll add to the position in the next few days.

This jives with what beat writers reported yesterday, but the coach saying it means we should probably expect Burden to be ready for Week 1. He’s a high-ceiling WR2/WR3 stab in drafts on an offense that Johnson has said wants to set the NFL scoring record.

Pran-Granger has started two games for the Bills over the last two seasons after being picked in the fifth round in the 2024 NFL Draft.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler first reported the news. Dexter was finally traded after days of speculation that he could be on the move. Dexter had a career-high six sacks last year, but ultimately wasn’t a fit with the Bears defense. Falcons GM Ian Cunningham worked in the Bears front office when they made Dexter a second-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. Entering the final year of his rookie contract, Dexter is eligible for an extension. With Da’Shawn Hand missing most of the preseason with a leg injury, Dexter could start right away for the Falcons.

This is probably forecasting that Pacheco will be doubtful at best for Week 1. Fantasy managers in deeper leagues can speculatively pick up Saylors, who had 17 carries for 100 yards in Detroit’s win over the Colts on Saturday. Saylors led the UFL in rushing in 2024 and finished second in the league in 2025 before signing with the Lions that offseason.

The Colts released a statement noting that they were aware of the charges and are in the information gathering process. Allen was arrested in downtown Indianapolis after the Colts’ first preseason game around 1 a.m. ET. More updates to come, we’re sure, but obviously this is not a great look for Allen.

Davis is a former first-round pick by the Commanders who will now be looking for his fourth organization in four years. The Steelers also released WR Levi Wentz.

The score and the bulk of the yardage came on one play, a 97-yard connection with Tyson Bagent. Thomas has some of the best speed of any rookie wideout — or any wideout regardless of age — and while he’s dealt with injuries in camp, the ability to grab and go is apparent. He’s not likely to be a significant contributor to begin the year, but he’s someone who has to be monitored in this Chicago passing attack.
