| 4/21/2025 9:50:00 AM | Jets GM Darren Mougey said Monday that he plans to exercise the fifth-year option on Wilson's rookie contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. |
| Wilson's rookie contract will now run through 2026, with a fifth-year option for the final season projected at $16.8 million. He's likely still hoping for an extension this offseason after starting his career with three straight 1,000-yard campaigns as a high-volume target in bad offenses. The Jets figure to run the ball more now that they have dual-threat Justin Fields at quarterback, but Wilson should see a lot of targets anyway, as there isn't much competition for Fields' attention after the offense lost WR Davante Adams and TE Tyler Conklin this offseason. | |
| 4/16/2025 4:07:00 PM | The Bengals signed Woodside to a contract Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. |
| Woodside spent time during the 2024 campaign bouncing between Cincinnati's practice squad and active roster, and he worked as the team's emergency No. 3 quarterback on occasion. He looks primed to spend the offseason competing for a practice squad role behind Joe Burrow and Jake Browning. | |
| 4/15/2025 1:42:00 PM | Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said Tuesday that the team is not currently considering trading Hill (wrist), Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com reports. |
| Grier noted that Hill, who is recovering from wrist surgery, has been present at team facilities during the early portion of the offseason and is working with new wide receivers coach Robert Prince, per David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel. He dismissed the idea that team was actively looking to trade the veteran wideout by saying the organization would "consider it" for the unrealistic return of "two first-rounders," Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports. Things appeared fractured enough between Hill and Miami by the end of the 2024 season that a parting of ways seemed inevitable, but the 31-year-old has since made public efforts to mend fences. After surpassing 1,700 receiving yards in each of the prior two campaigns, Hill was limited to an 81-959-6 line across 17 regular-season appearances last year, enduring both a nagging wrist injury and quarterback difficulties. | |
| 4/3/2025 4:46:00 PM | McBride agreed to a four-year contract extension with the Cardinals on Thursday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports. |
| McBride thus is under contract with Arizona through the 2029 season. Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the 25 year-old's $76 million deal includes $43 million guaranteed and an average annual value of $19 million, the highest ever for any NFL tight end. This past season, the 2022 second-rounder caught a career-high 111 passes (on 147 targets) for 1,146 yards and two TDs in 16 regular-season contests, a level of production that makes him an elite fantasy option at his position ahead of the upcoming NFL campaign. | |
| 4/2/2025 7:30:00 PM | Winfield agreed to a restructured contract Wednesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports. |
| Winfield converted the vast majority of his $21 million salary into a signing bonus, creating more than $15.8 million in cap space for the Bucs. Winfield appeared in just nine regular-season games last season due to injuries, finishing with 60 tackles (34 solo), including 2.0 sacks, three pass breakups and one fumble recovery, which he returned for a 58-yard touchdown. Winfield is under contract through 2027. | |
| 3/6/2025 9:53:00 AM | Watson (Achilles) has agreed to a contract restructure that frees up $36 million in 2025 cap space for the Browns, Field Yates of ESPN reports. |
| The agreement likely adds another void year to the contract while also converting base salary into a bonus. Watson still figures to get all the money from his disastrous, fully guaranteed contract, although he may eventually play out the end of the deal as a backup or even be released. His 2024 campaign ended in October after he ruptured his right Achilles tendon -- an injury that was surgically repaired shortly thereafter, only for Watson to re-rupture the tendon later on. He had a second surgery Jan. 9, making him unlikely to be ready for Week 1 of 2025 (almost exactly eight months later). Watson has been rehabbing at the team facility but is expected to miss "significant time in the 2025 season," according to ESPN's Daniel Oyefusi. Once healthy, Watson may have to settle for a backup role, be it behind a rookie or another veteran quarterback. | |
| 2/15/2025 12:08:00 AM | Browning didn't throw a pass over three regular-season games in 2024. He rushed twice for minus-2 yards. |
| A season-ending injury to Joe Burrow in Week 11 of 2023 gave Browning an opportunity for substantial playing time, but Burrow remained healthy throughout 2024, and Browning consequently spent almost the entire campaign on the bench. Browning signed a two-year contract with Cincinnati last April, so he's slated to work as Burrow's backup again next season. | |
| 2/6/2025 9:57:00 PM | Verse was named the 2024 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year on Thursday, Josh Dubow of The Associated Press reports. |
| Verse made an instant impact with the Rams after being selected in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, compiling 66 total tackles (36 solo), including 4.5 sacks, while also adding two passes defensed, two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries over 17 regular-season games this year. | |
| 2/6/2025 9:36:00 PM | Burrow was named the 2024 NFL Comeback Player of the Year on Thursday, Rob Maaddi of the Associated Press reports. |
| Burrow had a resurgent 2024 campaign after missing seven games in 2023 due to a wrist injury. This season, the quarterback completed 71 percent of his passes for an NFL-high 4,918 passing yards and 43 touchdowns, while throwing nine interceptions over 17 regular-season games. Burrow also added 201 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground. | |
| 1/31/2025 2:04:00 PM | Luvu totaled 99 tackles (54 solo), including 8.0 sacks, across 17 regular-season games with the Commanders in 2024. He also had seven passes defensed, including one interception, plus one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries. |
| Luvu impressed as a pass rusher in his inaugural campaign with Washington, playing a key every-down role (and a career-high 1,005 snaps on defense) in the Commanders' scheme. The 28-year-old has two years remaining on his deal with the team and is a strong candidate to retain solid IDP value for the 2025 campaign. | |
| 1/24/2025 10:17:00 AM | Dugger played through a high-ankle sprain in 2024 and had surgery Jan. 9 to address the injury, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports. |
| Dugger's ankle injury likely contributed to his decline in production, as he dipped from 109 tackles in 2023 to 81 in 2024. The strong safety projects to be back in a starting role in 2025, which will be the second season of Dugger's four-year, $58 million contract. | |
| 1/19/2025 12:38:00 AM | LaPorta recorded six receptions on seven targets for 51 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 45-31 divisional-round loss to the Commanders. |
| LaPorta was overshadowed by both positive and negative performances throughout the Lions' offense, though he remained a steady pass catcher. The highlight of his performance was an impressive one-handed touchdown from two yards away midway through the second quarter. While LaPorta's production dipped in his second pro season, he remained a key part of the offense with 11 catches of at least 20 yards and eight touchdowns across 17 total games, including the postseason. He'll remain a key to the offense in 2025, particularly around the end zone. | |
| 1/12/2025 2:00:00 PM | Henley told reporters Sunday that he will undergo surgery to repair a torn labrum that he played through during the regular season, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports. |
| It's unclear when exactly Henley tore his labrum, as he never showed up on the Chargers' injury report for that specific issue. He was able to play in every single regular-season game, and he finished Saturday's 32-12 loss to the Texans with 10 total tackles, which tied with Alohi Gilman for most on the Chargers. Henley's timeline for a return to on-field action will be more clear once he undergoes surgery. | |
| 1/8/2025 1:31:00 PM | In 17 games in 2024, Granderson recorded 61 tackles (36 solo), including 5.5 sacks, a forced fumble and four pass breakups. |
| The 2024 campaign was Granderson's third straight season playing at least 16 games, and it was his third straight season tallying at least 5.5 sacks. Among his teammates, only 2023 first-rounder Bryan Bresee had more (7.5). Granderson projects to remain a key piece on the edge for New Orleans in 2025. | |
| 1/6/2025 4:50:00 PM | Karty connected on all four field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try during Sunday's 30-25 loss to the Seahawks. |
| It was a strong finish to the regular season for the Rams' rookie kicker, as he hit a season-long 58-yard field goal to close the first half. He opened the second half with another lengthy kick of 57 yards and tacked on a pair of shorter field goals and a PAT to close out a perfect performance. For the season, Karty was 29-for-34 on field goals and 32-for-36 on PAT's, and he'll look to ride the positive momentum of the latter portion of the season into a Wild Card Weekend matchup with the Vikings next Monday night. | |
| 1/6/2025 12:07:00 PM | Stevenson finished the 2024 regular season with 207 carries for 801 yards and seven TDs to go along with 33 catches (on 41 targets) for 168 yards and another score in 15 games. |
| Stevenson suited up for the Patriots' season finale Sunday, but was rested by the team, which led to Antonio Gibson leading the backfield in Week 18. Stevenson is under contract with New England through 2028, so he's set to reprise his lead role in 2025. After recording one fumble in 12 contests during the 2023 campaign, Stevenson logged seven fumbles (three lost) in 2024. Though that was a concerning trend, the running back likely will try to make tightening things up on that front a priority this coming offseason. While New England has a franchise QB (Drake Maye) in place, after a 4-13 effort that led to the dismissal of head coach Jerod Mayo, there figures to be plenty of roster churn in the coming months, though Stevenson and Antonio Gibson (signed through 2026) will at least provide some continuity at the running back position. | |
| 1/5/2025 10:08:00 PM | Grupe went 4-for-4 on field-goal attempts and 1-for-1 on point-after tries during Sunday's 27-19 defeat versus Tampa Bay. |
| Grupe ended his second season on a high note by making four field-goal tries for the first time since Week 1. While he finished with three fewer field-goal makes this season (27) compared to last year (30), the 5-foot-7 kicker showed some improvements from 2023 to 2024, increasing his field goal percentage from 81 percent to 87 percent. Barring any unforeseen injuries or issues, Grupe should return as the Saints' starting kicker for the 2025 campaign. | |
| 1/5/2025 9:04:00 PM | Gibson carried the ball 12 times for 41 yards and caught four of six targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Bills. |
| With Rhamondre Stevenson getting the day off in a meaningless game for both sides, Gibson led the Patriots' backfield and topped 60 scrimmage yards for the second straight week. The former Washington RB capably filled a backup role for New England in 2024, finishing the season with 744 combined yards over 17 appearances. Stevenson is under contract through 2028 while Gibson has two more years left on his deal, but a new coaching staff might have different ideas about the workload split between them next season after head coach Jerod Mayo and offensive coordinator Alex Van Pelt were let go immediately after Sunday's contest. | |
| 8/12/2024 9:35:00 PM | Seattle activated Thomas (knee) from its active/PUP list Monday after he passed a physical, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. |
| Thomas finally appears to be fully recovered from the knee injury he sustained during Week 9 of last season. Now he'll have an outside chance to earn a spot on the Seahawks' final 53-man roster for the 2024 season. | |
