Hill is leaving the Chargers to reunite with Vic Fangio, who the Dolphins hired as their new defensive coordinator. It’s an unusual move, considering that Hill is moving from a defensive coordinator position to an assistant role. However, Hill—like Chargers head coach Brandon Staley—is a disciple of Fangio and will get the chance to work with the influential defensive mind once again in Miami. The Chargers are reportedly looking to promote Derrick Ansley to defensive coordinator.

Watson has reportedly been out of his walking boot for weeks and has progressed to throwing indoors at the team facility to both Jerry Jeudy and David Bell. Cabot adds that Jeudy is participating in voluntary team workouts while Bell is working his way back from surgery to repair a dislocated hip. Watson appears to be on the outside looking in with respect to the starting quarterback job in Cleveland after the team added Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and a pair of rookies in Dillon Gabriel and Shedeur Sanders this offseason, meaning he could be auditioning for others teams in need of a gamble at the position.

Williams and the Rams have yet to reach an agreement after commencing contract negotiations in April. A deal has yet to be reached as the team approaches organized team activities, which are set to commence next week. Even so, Williams told reporters he was feeling good about an extension, adding, “I know with time it’s going to happen.” Williams has scored a whopping 31 touchdowns on the ground in 28 games the previous two seasons after struggling through injuries during his rookie campaign. What’s better for fantasy managers is the recent offensive tendencies that favor a workhorse running back under head coach Sean McVay, which give Williams an elite floor-ceiling combination for all fantasy formats.

Speaking at a press conference at the Cardinals’ team facility Monday, Harrison Jr. told reporters he has put on weight this offseason and will see how his body feels through OTAs before settling on a new playing weight for the coming season. When asked about the areas of his game that could benefit by additional weight, the second-year receiver said, “contested catch situations, run off the catch.” Harrison Jr. came into the league as one of the most pro-ready wide receivers of the previous decade and will look to build on a rookie season in which he amassed 885 yards and eight touchdowns through the air as the clear alpha in Arizona.

It shouldn’t come as a surprise at this point, but Shipley’s observations during OTAs were that Hunter will see plenty of work on offense. The No. 2 overall pick in this year’s draft started his offseason working with the wide receivers, which may have tipped Liam Coen’s hand in how he values the versatile playmaker. It’s too early to say how much usage Hunter could get early in his career, but it’s not too farfetched to assume he will be the immediate WR2 opposite Brian Thomas. Hunter caught 96 passes for 1,258 yards and 15 touchdowns in his final season at Colorado while averaging a solid 13.1 YPR. He could have decent value as a WR3/WR4 if the Jaguars offense takes the leap many are hoping for in 2025.

The deal is worth a fully guaranteed $17.57 million over for four years, with a signing bonus of $9.42 million, per OverTheCap.com. The 21-year-old started his college career in Houston before transferring to Texas to the tune of 58 receptions for 987 yards and nine touchdowns last season. With Packers wide receiver Christian Watson recovering from a late-season torn ACL, Golden should open the year as Jordan Love’s primary deep threat, giving him a strong weekly ceiling out of the gate. The Packers had not drafted a wide receiver in the first round since taking Javon Walker in 2002.

The Niners continue to take care of their own, inking Warner to a deal that will make him the league’s highest-paid linebacker while giving him $56.7 million in guaranteed money. Warner, 28, totaled 131 tackles five TFLs, and two interceptions last season while on his way to earning his third-straight First-Team All-Pro honors. Warner’s new deal will keep him with the 49ers through the 2029 season, which could put him in line for another big deal if he continues to play at a high level.

It’s not the rookie contract many expected Sanders to sign before the draft, but after slipping all the way into the fifth round, the former Colorado star will earn just $4.6 million on his first pro contract. Sanders will compete with the likes of Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett and rookie third-rounder Dillon Gabriel for the rights to be named the Browns’ Week 1 starter. Facing an uphill battle to win the Week 1 starting job, how Sanders fits into an already crowded QB room that includes a fellow rookie will be worth monitoring in a league that seldom rosters more than three quarterbacks on a 53-man roster.

The deal is worth $17.77 million over four years, with a signing bonus of $9.65 million. Hampton, who was a two-time All-American at North Carolina, rushed for 281-1,660-15 last season while adding another 38-373-2 through the air and closed out his career with back-to-back 1,500-yard rushing seasons. He joins a Chargers backfield which includes former Steelers running back Najee Harris, who signed as a free agent in March. “I look at Najee and Omarion — both starters,” head coach Jim Harbaugh said last month. “He brings that same type of mentality Najee brings.”

All has been quiet on the quarterback front since the Saints lost Derek Carr to an abrupt retirement. Despite having one of the youngest quarterback rooms in the league, Moore doesn’t appear to be in any rush to sign a vet to help his group of signal-callers. While he did concede that there are times where “the opportunity presents itself” to add a quarterback who is an obvious good fit, Moore also noted that the team has “some good guys here that can certainly mentor each other” this season. Rookie second-rounder Tyler Shough feels like a near lock to win a training camp battle between second-year quarterback Spencer Rattler and third-year quarterback Jake Haener, but a vet could throw a wrench in those plans. Moore hasn’t fully ruled out the team signing a veteran quarterback, but he sounds more than prepared to get a full evaluation of what he has on his roster before making any decisions on another option.

Unless he reaches an injury settlement with the Chiefs that would result in his being released, Ingram won’t see the field in 2025. The former sixth-round pick has rushed 62 times for 134 yards and one touchdown in his career while catching another eight passes for 47 scoreless yards. He spent a portion of last season with the Chiefs but never played an offensive snap.
