  • DEN Wide Receiver #81
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    The Denver Post confirms Tim Patrick is on the Broncos’ 53-man roster bubble.
    It’s no surprise for a player who hasn’t appeared in a regular season game since 2021. Working in Patrick’s favor are positive comments from coach Sean Payton and a renegotiated contract that has made him far more affordable for 2024. There is just only so much that can be working in your favor when you’re on the wrong side of 30 and haven’t played for nearly three years. This is a rough, undermanned receiver group. Perhaps Patrick’s experience will earn him the final spot.
  • NFL Quarterback #12

    The Athletic’s Vic Tafur reports that Raiders co-owner “Tom Brady likes the idea of rookie quarterbacks sitting and soaking it all in” during the player’s rookie season.
    Tafur also notes that after examining Geno Smith’s recent contract extension through 2027, “the Raiders have a clear out after 2026.” Smith’s team-friendly deal keeps the Raiders in play for a quarterback with the No. 6 overall pick, though fantasy managers may be forced to wait a year before drafting said player.
  • NO Quarterback #4
    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport said Derek Carr is “believed” to have suffered “a significant” injury in his throwing shoulder during the 2024 season.
    The Saints listed the right-armed Carr with a left-hand injury late in Weeks 15-18 but made no mention of a throwing-shoulder issue. There seems to be more to this story. Carr has not yet decided whether he will undergo surgery but, regardless, it seems clear that the Saints must select a quarterback early in the 2025 NFL Draft at this point.
  • TEN Cornerback #38
    NBC Sports’ ProFootballTalk reports that “Titans cornerback L’Jarius Sneed is facing a lawsuit for at least $1 million after an incident in the parking lot of a car dealership December.
    The individual suing Sneed reportedly alleges that either “Sneed or Sneed’s personal assistant shot at him while” parked at a car dealership. The individual’s lawyer also claims that there is video evidence to support the allegation. Other details are currently unknown. Sneed is also rehabbing a quad injury suffered in-season last year.
  • NO Quarterback #4
    The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reports that “the Saints have been preparing for the draft knowing about” Derek Carr’s recently disclosed shoulder injury.
    Though news of the injury broke only today, it appears as though the Saints’ have known “about this recent shoulder issue” for some time. The Saints brain trust evidently sprung a leak, though, and now the rest of the QB-needy teams know that leapfrogging the Saints’ No. 9 overall pick may be required to secure a high-end prospect. Carr’s 2025 availability remains unknown.
  • DEN Safety #42
    Broncos signed S Sam Franklin Jr. to a one-year, $1.5 million contract.
    The Broncos added former Saints interim head coach and long-time special team coach Darren Rizzi to their staff this offseason. He holds both the special teams coach and assistant head coach roles. Beat reporter Chris Tomasson reports that Rizzi is said to have “pushed” for Franklin’s signing this offseason, after watching Franklin dominate NFC South special teams play as a member of the Panthers. Franklin has totaled at least seven special teams tackles in each of the last four seasons.
  • Free agent EDGE Chris Rumph II worked out for the Broncos on Friday.
    The former Chargers’ fourth-round pick has been unable to remain on-field over the last two seasons, suffering a season-ending foot injury in November 2023, followed by an undisclosed season-ending injury in August 2024. Rumph has flashed pass-rushing and tackling traits when available, posting a career-best 10.3 percent pass-rush win rate in nine 2023 games. He has 26 quarterback pressures, three sacks and 19 tackles to his name.
  • ARI Cornerback #20
    Patrick Peterson retired after 13 seasons in the NFL.
    Peterson will head to Arizona on Monday to officially retire as a member of the Cardinals. Peterson was named to eight Pro Bowls while earning three first-team All-Pro nods. He finishes with 70 career passes defended, 37 interceptions, 608 tackles and three sacks.
  • FA Quarterback #12
    Beat reporter Jeff Duncan reports that the Saints hosted Louisville QB Tyler Shough for a top-30 visit on Friday.
    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Derek Carr’s new shoulder injury little more than an hour before Duncan broke the Shough news. This does not seem like a coincidence. With Carr’s 2025 season jeopardized, both by the shoulder injury and his poor play in 2024, the Saints must engage in an exhaustive pre-draft search for a long-term answer at the quarterback position.
  • ATL Cornerback #32
    Falcons re-signed CB Kevin King to a contract.
    King logged just 74 defensive snaps last season but had a career-best year as a special teamer. His 89.2 PFF special teams grade leads all Falcons players with at least 100 special teams snaps, and he totaled two qualifying tackles. On defense, he broke up one pass and notched six tackles.
  • MIA Quarterback #18
    Free agent QB Tyler Huntley worked out for the Cardinals on Friday.
    The Cardinals already roster backups Jacoby Brissett and Clayton Tune. Bringing Huntley aboard would give them another proven, if unexceptional option. He started five games for the Dolphins in 2024, completing 86-of-133 passes for 831 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions and rushing 26 times for 135 yards and two touchdowns while fumbling six times.
