Mason Rudolph

PIT Quarterback #2

ESPN’s Brooke Pryor believes the Steelers could look to keep Mason Rudolph “as one of six veterans on the practice squad if Rudolph would be amenable to accepting a role.”

Aaron Rodgers’ return has left the Steelers with a four-quarterback room of Rodgers, Rudolph, 2025 sixth-rounder Will Howard, and 2026 third-rounder Drew Allar. Presumably the Steelers wouldn’t want to move on from Howard or Allar on their rookie contracts, which naturally leads to the idea of Rudolph’s roster spot being in jeopardy despite him likely being the backup with the highest floor. These things sometimes just work themselves out via injury, but if everyone makes it to the end of the preseason healthy, the Steelers will probably have to move on from someone rather than carrying four quarterbacks on their 53-man roster.
Bryce Young

CAR Quarterback #9

The Athletic’s Joseph Person reports the Panthers aren’t expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season.

It’s not surprising given that Young hasn’t exactly delivered a full stretch of excellent play at any point in his first three years, despite showing real flashes in some games last year. The Panthers front office has largely talked about a Young extension as an idea or something to talk through rather than a certainty. They did pick up his fifth-year option earlier this offseason, so there’s no rush. It’s not surprising that the Panthers haven’t committed to Young yet — they surely hope a better supporting cast this year will help make the decision easier for them next offseason.
Stefon Diggs

FA Wide Receiver #8

Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer believes free agent WR Stefon Diggs could “make sense” for the Chiefs and Commanders.

He also throws out the Falcons and Rams as “interesting landing spots.” It sounds like a potential return to New England is being tethered to the potential of an A.J. Brown trade, and with that feeling inevitable at this point, Diggs would then move on to the next part of his list if he wasn’t able to return to New England. Diggs has had a very quiet free agency to this point.
Antonio Williams

WAS Wide Receiver

Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer believes “50-or-so catches” from Commanders third-round rookie Antonio Williams “wouldn’t shock” him.

Sure, it’s not like Jaylin Lane or Luke McCaffrey did much in this offense last year, and Deebo Samuel remains an unsigned free agent as we blurb this. Chig Okonkwo probably profiles as the second option after Terry McLaurin at this point, but Williams garnering a real role wouldn’t be surprising in light of how the depth chart currently looks.
Kurtis Rourke

SF Quarterback #14

Kurtis Rourke (knee) is participating in rookie minicamp.

Rourke missed all of last season recovering from an ACL tear. He’ll battle Adrian Martinez for the third quarterback job. It’s possible that the 49ers trade Mac Jones — who is in the final year of his contract — at some point before the deadline if they’re able to get a big return for him. Rourke is worth monitoring in large superflex leagues given how often Kyle Shanahan has elevated quarterbacks.
Taron Johnson

LV Cornerback #3

California Post’s Vincent Bonsignore reports CB Taron Johnson is absent from Raiders voluntary activities while seeking a new contract.

Johnson, who was acquired from the Bills in March, has two years remaining on his contract and only $1.175 million of guaranteed money left. It’s not surprising that he’s seeking a new deal, though he’s not exactly guaranteed to get one.
Aaron Rodgers

PIT Quarterback #8

Steelers re-signed Aaron Rodgers to a one-year contract.

Per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the deal is worth “up to” $25 million. It includes a base salary between $22 and $23 million, with some extra money tied to incentives. The deal ends Rodgers’ awkward standoff with the only franchise actively pursuing him. It also reunites him with new Steelers head coach Mike McCarthy. Rodgers won two of his four MVPs and hoisted his only Lombardi Trophy while playing for McCarthy in Green Bay. Though Rodgers is more of a game-manager at this point in his career, McCarthy should at least be able to get more out of him than Arthur Smith did in 2025. Still, the low-ceiling signing isn’t likely to move Pittsburgh off its crash course with another first-round playoff exit. For fantasy purposes, Rodgers is, at best, a low-end QB2.
Tershawn Wharton

CAR Defensive Tackle #99

Panthers DT Tershawn Wharton underwent neck surgery in May and is likely to begin the regular season on the Physically Unable to Perform list.

Wharton missed eight games in 2025 fresh off a $45 million contract extension and reportedly underwent surgery in early May on his neck. While it sounds like the PUP list is a near certainty, sources confirmed that the expectation is for Wharton to play at some point in the 2026 season.
Max Iheanachor

PIT Tackle

Steelers signed OT Max Iheanachor to a four-year, $20.692 million contract.

The completely guaranteed deal also includes a fifth-year team option due to his draft capital and a $11.598 million signing bonus. Iheanachor should immediately enter the starting lineup on the blind side of whichever quarterbacks starts under center for the Steelers, with the odds-on favorite still veteran Aaron Rodgers.
Brandon Cisse

GB Cornerback

Packers signed CB Brandon Cisse to a four-year, $9.364 million contract.

The deal is fully guaranteed for the first three seasons before a semi-team option occurs in year four, bringing $821,574 in guarantees in 2029. Cisse has every opportunity to carve out a significant role in his rookie year after the team retooled its secondary the previous two offseasons.
