| 3/9/2025 12:01:00 PM | Garrett and the Browns agreed Sunday on a contract extension that averages $40 million per year and includes $123.5 million in guaranteed salary, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. |
| Garrett officially requested a trade in early February, but Cleveland consistently stated that it was unwilling to entertain the request. The two sides have now agreed upon a massive deal that will make Garrett the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history. Per Schefter, the agreement includes a no-trade clause and will keep Garrett in Cleveland through the 2030 season. Garrett was selected by the Browns in the first round of the 2017 Draft and has built a potential Hall of Fame career since then, becoming the first player in franchise history to win a Defensive Player of the Year award (in 2023) and racking up double-digit sacks in each of the past seven regular seasons. | |
| 3/8/2025 8:26:00 AM | Smith-Njigba will catch passes from a new quarterback in 2025 after the Seahawks traded Geno Smith to the Raiders on Friday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. |
| The turbulent week in Seattle continues, as previously the Seahawks released WR Tyler Lockett before fellow WR DK Metcalf requested a trade. Last season, Smith-Njigba led all Seahawks receivers in receptions (100), receiving yards (1,130), and touchdowns (six). While potentially losing Metcalf would force defenses to key in on Smith-Njigba even further, the 2023 first-round pick was superb across two games without Metcalf last year, generating 249 yards and two touchdowns. The bigger concern for Smith-Njigba's fantasy value in 2025 is the quarterback, though he should be a target hog once again considering his role in the slot -- where he played 75 percent of snaps last year -- is secure. | |
| 3/7/2025 9:38:00 PM | Darnold is a logical free-agent target for Seattle after the Seahawks traded Geno Smith to Las Vegas on Friday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports. |
| The Seahawks are is now in need of a new starting quarterback after moving Smith to the Raiders on Friday for a 2025 third-round draft pick. Condotta calls Darnold an "obvious target" for Seattle following the move but notes that the organization could also pursue other free-agent options. Darnold didn't have the franchise tag applied by Minnesota following his career-best 2024 campaign and is slated to be an unrestricted free agent upon the start of the new league year Wednesday | |
| 3/5/2025 4:53:00 PM | Baun agreed to a three-year, $51 million contract with the Eagles on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. |
| Baun could have explored his options in free agency when the new league year begins next week, but it was likely an easy decision for both the 28-year-old and the Eagles to come to terms on a new deal in the wake of a wildly successful first season in Philadelphia. After playing primarily on special teams and serving as a backup outside linebacker over his first four NFL seasons in New Orleans, Baun inked a one-year, $3.5 million deal with the Eagles last March and emerged as a Week 1 starter at inside linebacker. The Wisconsin product went on to record 3.5 sacks among his 151 total tackles (tied for sixth-most in the NFL) and tacked on five forced fumbles over 16 games during the regular season, then added 33 tackles, two interceptions and one forced fumble over the Eagles' four postseason contests. With a lavish new contract in tow, Baun should profile as one of the top IDP options at linebacker in 2025. | |
| 2/27/2025 5:45:00 PM | Kelce confirmed via social media that he will play in 2025. |
| Kelce had stated after the Super Bowl loss to the Eagles that he hadn't yet decided whether he'd continue his playing career for a 13th pro season, but Chiefs GM Brett Veach said at the NFL Scouting Combine this week that he expected the veteran tight end to return for another year. Kelce has now confirmed it and will formally announce it on his New Heights podcast this week. Kelce will turn 36 years old in October and is certainly slowing down at this stage of his career, but he's ready to give it another run with Kansas City. It will be interesting to see what his role looks like in 2025, especially with Rashee Rice (knee) due back to full health as the Chiefs' power slot receiver and the anticipated leap of Xavier Worthy in his second season following a big stretch run and postseason. Kelce's days as an elite fantasy tight end are likely over. | |
| 2/14/2025 9:38:00 AM | Henry said last week that he wants to finish his career with the Ravens, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports. |
| Ravens coach John Harbaugh has already mentioned Henry as a candidate for an extension, after the 31-year-old ran for 1,921 yards and 16 touchdowns in 17 regular-season games during the first year of a two-year, $16 million contract. The two sides likely will discuss a deal that lowers Henry's 2025 cap hit ($12.895 million) without reducing his real-money compensation. He's currently scheduled for a non-guaranteed $6 million base salary and a $1 million roster bonus (due on the fifth day of the 2025 league year), plus $2.5 million available via incentives ($2 million of which he earned in 2024). | |

| 2/4/2025 7:38:00 PM | Milano, who tore his biceps during training camp, only played in four regular-season games in 2024, making 16 tackles (seven solo) and recovering two fumbles. |
| The 2022 First Team All-Pro didn't make his 2024 season debut until December. He played up to his usual standard in three playoff games however, recording 17 tackles (12 solo) including 2.0 sacks. Injuries have limited Milano to just nine regular-season appearances over the last two seasons, and while the 30-year-old linebacker still has two years left on his current contract, he has no guaranteed money left on the deal. | |
| 1/29/2025 10:13:00 PM | Jones didn't play any snaps in the Vikings' 27-9 loss to the Rams on Jan. 13 in the wild-card round Minnesota signed him off its practice squad. |
| After completing 216 of 341 passes (63.3 percent) for 2,070 yards, eight touchdowns, and seven interceptions through 10 games for the Giants, Jones was released by the team and subsequently signed with the Vikings' practice squad. Though he was added to the roster for the playoffs, he was inactive for the wild-card round as the team's emergency No. 3 quarterback behind Sam Darnold and Nick Mullens. Jones is set to become a free agent this offseason, and while a return to Minnesota may be unlikely, the Vikings could receive a compensatory draft pick if he ends up signing elsewhere. | |
| 1/29/2025 10:00:00 PM | Mullens completed two of two pass attempts for 38 yards and zero touchdowns across four games during the 2024 regular season. |
| The veteran backup quarterback played a total of seven offensive snaps across the four contests, and he rushed three times for negative two yards on top of the limited pass attempts. Mullens turns 30 years old in March and is scheduled to be a free agent this offseason. The Vikings' quarterback picture is unclear, with both Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones also slated to be free agents. J.J. McCarthy (knee) is coming off a serious injury and missed his entire 2024 rookie campaign. | |
| 1/26/2025 11:42:00 PM | Hooker completed six of nine passes for 62 yards while adding five carries for two yards over three games in 2024. |
| Hooker operated as Jared Goff's primary backup option in 2024, ultimately seeing marginal action with Goff starting all 17 regular-season contests. Hooker was demoted to the No. 3 option at quarterback when Detroit signed Teddy Bridgewater in late December after Bridgewater had previously retired prior to the year. Nonetheless, with Bridgewater entering free agency, Hooker will presumably enter the 2025 campaign as Goff's top backup. | |
| 1/26/2025 11:39:00 PM | Bridgewater did not log any stats with the Lions during the 2024 regular season. |
| Bridgewater retired from football ahead of the 2024 campaign, only to return to Detroit on a one-year deal in late December to serve as a backup option to starter Jared Goff. Bridgewater did not appear in a regular-season contest before logging three snaps in the team's loss to the Commanders in the NFC divisional round. It's unclear where the quarterback's interests lie in terms of his playing career, but Bridgewater will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent. | |
| 1/26/2025 10:39:00 PM | Cooper caught all four of his targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 32-29 loss to the Chiefs in the AFC Championship Game. |
| Cooper wasn't the difference-maker the Bills had hoped for after they gave up a third-round draft pick to acquire him from the Browns. The 30-year-old wide receiver proceeded to catch 20 of 32 targets for 297 yards and two touchdowns in eight regular-season games for Buffalo and added only six catches for 41 yards on eight targets across three playoff outings. Cooper's best days appear to be behind him, but with seven 1,000-yard receiving seasons under his belt, the unrestricted free agent is likely to draw some interest on the open market. | |
| 1/26/2025 9:16:00 PM | McLaurin recorded three receptions on seven targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 55-23 NFC Championship Game loss to the Eagles. |
| McLaurin was predictably the focus of the strong Philadelphia secondary and was blanketed by Quinyon Mitchell for much of the game. That led to a subpar performance, though he did manage an impressive 36-yard touchdown catch and run midway through the second quarter to account for the majority of his production. Though his campaign ended on a sour note, McLaurin managed a career-best 13 touchdowns while also tallying his highest catch total (82) since 2020 across 17 regular-season games. | |
| 1/18/2025 9:30:00 PM | Goff is under evaluation for a possible concussion during Saturday's divisional-round game against the Commanders. |
| After committing his second turnover of the contest in the second quarter, Goff took a big hit on Quan Martin's interception return for a touchdown and made his way slowly to the sideline. At the time of his departure, Goff had completed eight of 11 passes for 120 yards, one touchdown and the pick while losing a fumble. Teddy Bridgewater took over for Goff under center, while Hendon Hooker is the emergency third quarterback. | |
| 1/17/2025 9:37:00 PM | Knight recorded 88 tackles (41 solo), including 1.5 sacks, and two pass defenses over 16 games during the 2024 season. |
| Knight played sparingly to begin the season, but he was named a starter after the Week 10 bye and never looked back, tallying 65 tackles through the final eight games (averaging 8.1 per game). The rookie fourth-round pick probably hasn't done enough to guarantee a starting role in 2025, but he'll be in the competition barring high-end additions to the team this offseason. | |
| 1/15/2025 5:17:00 PM | The Vikings signed Rypien to a reserve/future contract Wednesday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports. |
| Rypien was signed by the Vikings in late August after failing to make the Bears' 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp. He spent the entire regular season as the third-string emergency quarterback behind Sam Darnold and Nick Mullens, but Rypien was waived by Minnesota on Jan. 7 to make room on the roster for Daniel Jones. Rypien was brought back to the practice squad two days later, and now that's under a futures contract, he'll be a part of the Vikings' 90-man roster when the new league year starts March 12. That will allow him to work with Minnesota's coaching and training staff during the offseason and participate in OTAs, minicamp and training camp. Rypien has appeared in 10 regular-season games since being signed by the Broncos as an undrafted free agent in April of 2019. | |
| 1/15/2025 4:19:00 PM | White tallied 56 total tackles (31 solo), including 5.0 sacks, defended five passes and forced two fumbles across 17 games in 2024. |
| White was a bright spot on the Patriots' defense in his second season in the NFL, improving his totals in tackles (26 to 56), sacks (1.0 to 5.0), passes defended (three to five) and forced fumbles (zero to two) from his rookie campaign. He tied Deatrich Wise for the most sacks on New England's defense and accumulated 45 total pressures on the season. With two years remaining on his rookie contract, White is expected to remain in New England in 2025 and continue building on his productive sophomore campaign. | |
| 1/13/2025 11:52:00 AM | Tavai finished the 2024 regular season with 115 tackles (58 solo), a sack and an interception in 17 games. |
| In his fourth season with the Patriots, Tavai set a career high mark in tackles while leading the team in that category. The 28-year-old is under contract with New England through 2027 and is thus set to remain a key part of the defense in 2025 while maintaining his role as a starting linebacker for new head coach Mike Vrabel. | |
| 1/8/2025 1:30:00 PM | Wright rushed six times for minus-four yards during Sunday's 32-20 loss to the Jets. |
| Wright saw his highest touch total since Week 12 during Miami's season finale, but the rookie fourth-round pick did little with his opportunities. Across 15 appearances in 2024, Wright rushed 68 times for 249 yards without a single touchdown and secured three of six targets for eight yards. The Tennessee product was touted as a big-play threat after he submitted a 4.38-second 40-yard dash time at the NFL Scouting Combine, but he logged only one run of 20-plus yards as a rookie. Even if the Dolphins opt to move on from veterans Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson this offseason, Wright will need to improve heading into Year 2 to secure a notable role behind De'Von Achane. | |
| 1/7/2025 6:06:00 PM | Elliott missed one of his three field-goal attempts but made both of his extra points in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Giants. |
| Elliott was good from both 24 and 32 yards, but a 39-yarder as time expired in the first half proved too much for him. It was his eighth missed field goal of the season, equaling his total number of misses over the previous three years combined. It was also his closest missed field goal of the year and just his second miss from inside 50 yards this season. | |
| 1/6/2025 6:17:00 PM | Edmunds recorded nine tackles (four solo) and one pass defensed in the Bears 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday. |
| In his second year in Chicago, Edmunds averaged 6.5 stops per game, which was the lowest rate of his seven-year career. However, the veteran has at least 102 tackles in each season he's played. In addition to his 110 tackles this season, Edmunds had 1.0 sacks and a forced fumble. The linebacker is signed through 2026. | |
| 1/6/2025 1:32:00 PM | Joseph made his only field-goal attempt from 20 yards and converted all three of his PAT tries in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. |
| Joseph wasn't asked to do anything difficult but converted all four of his short kicks, which is more than the Jets got out of their kickers for most of the season. The 30-year-old kicker out of Florida Atlantic will hope to secure a consistent job somewhere in 2025 after splitting eight appearances in 2024 between the Giants, Commanders and Jets. Joseph made 16 of 20 field-goal attempts overall in 2024, with a long of 52, as well as all 11 of his PAT tries. | |

| 1/4/2025 8:17:00 PM | Jeudy recorded six receptions on 13 targets for 63 yards in Saturday's 35-10 loss to the Ravens. |
| As has been the case since Jameis Winston was benched, all of Cleveland's skill-position players have found it difficult to post strong stat lines. Positively, Jeudy commanded 13 targets on 34 total pass attempts by the Browns quarterbacks. However, that translated to a modest yardage total, boosted only because he had a 30-yard reception with just over three minutes left in the fourth quarter with the game well out of reach. Jeudy wraps up his best season as a pro with 1,229 yards and 90 receptions and figures to be a key figure in the Cleveland offense again in 2025. | |
