John Harbaugh continues to try to bring over his former Ravens players to New York, expecting to add Washington to the Giants defense with this latest report. Washington is a former UDFA who played a big role in 2024, starting 10 games, intercepting two passes, and forcing a fumble. Though he is undersized at 5-8, 180 pounds, Washington is a big-hitting safety with versatility. He tore his Achilles last offseason and returned to the field in Week 15. Now nearly a full year removed from his torn Achilles, Washington has a shot at carving out a role on the Giants defense.

Snowden had a DUI this offseason. He’s not a surefire bet to make the Cowboys roster either way, but this certainly won’t help his chances.

Skinner, a UDFA who spent last year mostly on the Jets practice squad (he had one catch for 10 yards in Week 18), will be competing for an end-of-roster spot in training camp with Buffalo.

No charges are being brought and future action is contingent on new information or evidence being brought forward, per a police spokesman. Police were reportedly unable to determine the primary aggressor in the physical altercation. Smith’s home camera did not show any physical altercation occur between Smith and a woman. While it’s possible that there is more evidence to be seen, it seems safe to proceed as if there’s no reason to believe Smith will be held liable for whatever occurred here.

Collins was carted off in Week 13 and spent the rest of the season on injured reserve. He did not participate in OTAs or minicamp. The 31-year-old veteran had 6.5 sacks last year and will be asked to do more in the absence of Myles Garrett this season.

Kittle did some light cutting a few weeks ago in workouts and says he’s running over 16 miles an hour. The story also quotes Kyle Juszczyk as saying he thinks “there’s a real chance” Kittle is back for Week 1. We’re not sure if we’d go that far just yet, but it sure sounds like Kittle has a chance to be back in September despite tearing his Achilles against the Eagles in the playoffs.

Badie probably has the edge given his versatility on special teams and third-down work. McLaughlin’s path to a roster spot “looks dicey” per Evans.

Coleman has been noted to be a passing-down consideration instantly — he’s essentially ticketed to fill Tyler Badie’s role from last year per Evans — but the idea that he could get in on short-yardage work is pretty interesting. It’s hard to believe that Coleman will have major fantasy value right away — if at all — this season. But that’s more about the lack of snaps in play than about Coleman’s talent. A Dobbins injury could lead to more Coleman carries than RJ Harvey-reliant managers would like.

The gist of what Harbaugh is saying is that Dart is able to play in many scheme configurations, but what fantasy managers will love to hear is the idea that the Giants are open to running RPOs and quarterback-driven runs with one of the best athletes at the position last year. Harbaugh downplayed the risk of injury to Dart by comparing his style to Lamar Jackson and noting that Jackson would “look[s] at you like you’ve got three heads” if you commented about playing safer. Dart is going just outside the top 100 picks on most websites in mid-July — though he’s 70th in ADP at Yahoo! — and figures to be in the QB1 conversation this year if he can stay healthy.

Well, let’s see if we can get a few Instagram posts off that change minds, Brandon. Aiyuk and the 49ers are at an impasse and he has not posted on his social accounts that he’s not “doing business” with the 49ers at this time, and unless he reports to the 49ers they can’t actually release him anyway. This situation has turned from a fait accompli that he’d eventually join the Commanders into something that surely has them second-guessing things, as reported by Nicki Jhavala of The Athletic earlier last month.

Fowler said a team could sign Diggs ahead of training camp, but didn’t do us the courtesy of naming any of those teams beyond the Commanders. He also pointed at the Ravens as a team that attacks late free agency often. Diggs is one of several unsigned receivers still waiting for a home as we near the start of training camp, and there’s a belief in his camp that he’ll be even better this year now that he’s shed a snap count he was on while managing 2024’s torn ACL recovery.
