| 3/9/2025 7:38:00 PM | Allen and the Bills agreed on a six-year, $330 million contract that includes $250 million guaranteed Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. |
| Allen will receive a record-setting amount of guaranteed money fresh off of winning the NFL's Most Valuable Player award in 2024. The quarterback still had four years remaining on his prior contract, but Buffalo decided ink the new deal with their franchise superstar. Allen completed 64 percent of his passes for 3,731 yards and 28 touchdowns while also adding 531 yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground over 17 regular-season games in 2024. Most notably perhaps was his amount of interceptions, getting picked off just six times, a new career low for the seven-year vet. | |
| 3/9/2025 5:13:00 PM | The Vikings signed Jones to a two-year, $20 million contract Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. |
| Schefter adds that this contract includes $13 million in guaranteed salary, and his $10 million average annual salary will make Jones the sixth-highest-paid running back in the NFL by this metric. Jones signed a one-year, $7 million deal with the Vikings after being let go by Green Bay last offseason and put up a career-best 1,138 rushing yards across 17 regular-season games in 2024. The 29-year-old dealt with numerous injuries throughout the year including a lingering quad issue that carried into the playoffs. Yet, he logged a career-high 255 rushing attempts and was an integral piece of Minnesota's offense all year. The Vikings appear set to begin their transition to J.J. McCarthy (Achilles) as the team's long-term starting quarterback moving forward, as last year's starter Sam Darnold will likely get a significant payday elsewhere with numerous teams looking for immediate help at starting quarterback. Jones' return will provide some significant stability to the Vikings' offense whether or not McCarthy is ready to step in under center by Week 1. With Cam Akers also currently slated to hit free agency, it's likely Minnesota will look to add a new No. 2 running back this offseason who can help share the load with Jones moving forward. | |
| 3/7/2025 7:32:00 PM | David and the Buccaneers agreed on a one-year, $10 million contract with $9 million guaranteed Friday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. |
| David will return to Tampa Bay for a 14th season with the team in 2025. The linebacker is coming off of a 2024 campaign in which he compiled 122 total tackles (76 solo), including 5.5 sacks, while also adding six passes defensed, one of which was an interception, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery over 17 regular-season games. Since entering the NFL in 2012, David leads all players with 1,111 total tackles, and he'll now look to help lead the Bucs to the playoffs for the sixth consecutive year. | |
| 3/6/2025 3:28:00 PM | The Bengals informed Henderson on Thursday that he may seek a trade, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. |
| Hendrickson, who is currently entering the final year of his deal with Cincinnati, led the NFL with 17.5 sacks in 2024 and will doubtless command a sizeable trade market from teams in need of a premier edge rusher. While the Bengals have faced pressure, including from quarterback Joe Burrow, to work out long-term deals with all of Hendrickson, Tee Higgins (who received the franchise tag) and Ja'Marr Chase (who is set to play out 2025 on his fifth-year option), the team is at least open to moving on from the 30-year-old All-Pro. Hendrickson has 35 sacks over the past two seasons and is doubtless vying for a new contract extension with a total value matching the other top playmakers at his position. | |
| 2/25/2025 3:49:00 PM | Cowboys COO Stephen Jones said Monday that the team hopes to re-sign Dowdle, David Moore of The Dallas Morning News reports. |
| Dowdle is scheduled for free agency at the beginning of the league year, with Dallas being the only team that can attempt to sign him before then. His breakout in 2024 figures to lead to a contract with considerable guarantees this offseason, but it's hard to say if teams will view Dowdle as a viable starter or more of a high-end backup. Having spent most of his pro career at the back of the Cowboys' roster or on their practice squad, Dowdle is unlikely to give a hometown discount, as this may be his only shot at a sizable contract. He'll turn 27 in June. | |
| 2/25/2025 12:56:00 PM | Shakir and Buffalo agreed to terms Tuesday on a four-year contract extension worth up to $60.2 million, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. |
| Shakir's new deal reportedly includes $32 million guaranteed at signing. The 2022 fifth-round pick led the Bills in targets, catches and yards during the 2024 regular season, posting a career-best 76-821-4 receiving line on 100 targets. The sure-handed slot specialist also had exactly six catches in all three of Buffalo's playoff games. Looking ahead to the 2025 campaign, Shakir's ability to create yards after the catch positions him to once again be one of Josh Allen's go-to targets. | |
| 2/25/2025 12:46:00 PM | New Jaguars head coach Liam Coen said the team's passing game will run through Thomas, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports. |
| That much is clear; the real question is who else will catch passes from Trevor Lawrence on a regular basis. WR Christian Kirk (collarbone) and TE Evan Engram (shoulder) both are entering contract years without any guaranteed money remaining on their contracts, and WR Gabe Davis (knee) is coming off a disappointing season that ended early due to a meniscus tear. Thomas may be at the level already where competition doesn't really matter and teammates are competing with each other for targets rather than him. He closed 2024 with one of the most productive stretches ever seen from a rookie wide receiver while catching passes from backup QB Mac Jones, posting six straight games with at least 10 targets and 76 yards while averaging 7.5 receptions for 99.8 yards and 0.83 TDs. Similar output over the course of a full season is unlikely even for a player with Thomas' rare combination of size, speed and agility, but it isn't entirely out of the question under Coen, whose lone year as Tampa Bay's offensive coordinator coincided with the top PPR scoring average of Chris Godwin's career (19.7 per game) as well as Mike Evans' best average (17.2) since 2019. | |
| 2/17/2025 2:58:00 PM | Dicker converted 39 of 42 field-goal attempts and 33 of 36 extra-point attempts across 17 regular-season appearances with the Chargers in 2024. |
| Dicker also converted both of his field-goal attempts during Los Angeles' wild-card round loss to the Texans. The 24-year-old kicker remains a reliable piece alongside the Chargers offense, having now posted three consecutive seasons with a 90-plus percent field goal conversion rate. He remains under contract with the team through the 2028 campaign, though Los Angeles will have a potential 'out' in his contract to evaluate after the conclusion of the 2025 season. | |
| 2/17/2025 2:21:00 PM | Heinicke saw spot duty in four regular-season games in 2024, completing three of five pass attempts for 28 yards and also rushing two times for 20 yards. |
| Heinicke's lack of work was expected, as long as the Chargers' starting quarterback, Justin Herbert remained healthy. The 31-year-old joined the franchise late in training camp due to a trade with the Falcons and ultimately won the backup job from Easton Stick. With Heinicke set to be an unrestricted free agent, he may find himself in a different uniform next season. | |
| 2/16/2025 6:43:00 PM | Sweat registered 41 tackles (27 solo), including eight sacks, and two pass defenses across 16 regular-season appearances. He tallied 10 stops (five solo), including 2.5 sacks, across four postseason contests. |
| Sweat logged his second-most sacks in a season, falling three shy of his career-best 2022 campaign. This increased production came despite playing about 200 fewer defensive snaps than he did in 2023 when he played 17 regular-season games. The seven-year vet signed a one-year, $10 million deal to stay with the Eagles in September, and he'll essentially become an unrestricted free agent after this contract voids Feb. 17. Sweat has now totaled 43 sacks across the last six regular season with the Eagles, and he could stand to cash in on the free-agent market ahead of the 2025 campaign. | |

| 2/3/2025 8:56:00 PM | Williams played in all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 117 tackles (68 solo), one forced fumble and three fumble recoveries. He added seven tackles (six solo) across the Bills' three playoff games. |
| The 2023 third-round pick started in the first 11 games of the regular season due to the absence of Matt Milano, who began the campaign on injured reserve while recovering from a right leg fracture that he suffered in October 2023. Williams took advantage of the opportunity, recording 97 tackles (59 solo) over that span while logging double-digit tackles in six games. He moved back to a rotational role following Buffalo's Week 12 bye after Milano was activated off IR, but Williams' play in 2024 gives him a strong case of being an every-down linebacker for the 2025 season. Williams will have a chance to earn that role when training camp starts in July. | |
| 1/31/2025 2:59:00 PM | Rozeboom recorded 135 tackles (69 solo), including 1.0 sacks, an interception and four passes defended during the 2024 regular season. |
| Despite finishing 17th out of all qualifying players with 135 tackles, Rozeboom's actual performance at linebacker was more of a mixed bag, as he struggled with missed tackles and managed only a single sack over 785 snaps on defense. An unrestricted free agent, Rozeboom may have to find a new home in the offseason while the Rams look to add a playmaker alongside Omar Speights at inside linebacker. | |
| 1/20/2025 10:57:00 PM | Bynum finished the 2024 season with 96 tackles (54 solo), 10 pass breakups, including three interceptions, and two fumble recoveries across 17 regular-season contests. |
| Bynum started all 17 games for the third straight season and set new career highs in pass breakups and interceptions while falling four tackles short of his second consecutive 100-tackle campaign. Known just as much for his well-choreographed celebrations following big plays, Bynum's strong numbers and week-to-week dependability on the back end of the defense should land him a big payday this spring, as he's set to become an unrestricted free agent. | |
| 1/20/2025 8:09:00 PM | Walker played in 13 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 102 tackles (72 solo), including 2.5 sacks, and two pass defenses. |
| Walker missed the final three games of the regular season due to an ankle injury, but he was able to play in Green Bay's NFC wild-card loss to Philadelphia and finished with eight tackles (four solo) while playing 54 defensive snaps. Despite missing four regular-season games, Walker managed to reach the tackling century mark for the third straight season and led the Packers in that category in 2024. Walker could be tasked with more defensive responsibilities in 2025 if Isaiah McDuffie decides to take his talents elsewhere in free agency. | |
| 1/19/2025 12:25:00 AM | St. Brown recorded eight receptions on 10 targets for 137 yards in Saturday's 45-31 divisional-round loss to the Commanders. |
| St. Brown paced the Lions' pass catchers in receptions and yards, highlighted by three catches of at least 20 yards. The performance marked his fifth time topping 100 yards across 18 total games on the season, a significant decrease from his 10 such performances in 2023. Nevertheless, St. Brown enjoyed strong production and will almost certainly be the top option among Detroit's pass catchers again in 2025. | |
| 1/14/2025 2:14:00 PM | Reichard finished the 2024 season making 24 of 30 field-goal attempts and all 38 of his extra-point tries across 13 games with Minnesota. |
| A sixth-round pick out of Alabama in the 2024 NFL Draft, Reichard was a perfect 14 of 14 on field-goal tries and 23 for 23 on extra-point attempts through Week 8, but he suffered a quad injury during a Week 9 win over the Colts in which he missed both of his field-goal tries. Reichard missed the next four contests on injured reserve but wasn't the same after returning in Week 14. Reichard went 10 of 14 on field-goal attempts over the final five weeks. However, he did make his lone kick in the wild-card playoff loss to the Rams. Reichard figures to be in the mix as a top fantasy kicker next season, kicking for a team that will likely again put up plenty of points with coach Kevin O'Connell orchestrating the offense. | |
| 1/12/2025 11:34:00 PM | Evans brought in all seven targets for 92 yards and a touchdown in the Buccaneers' 23-20 wild-card loss to the Commanders on Sunday night. |
| Frequently facing old nemesis Marshon Lattimore, Evans got the better of the veteran cornerback for once, including on his one-yard touchdown grab just before halftime. Evans finished the night with team-high totals in receptions, receiving yards and targets, a fitting follow-up to a regular season in which recorded 74 catches for 1,004 yards and 11 touchdowns over 14 games, and in which he tied Jerry Rice's record with an 11th consecutive 1,000-yard season. Evans clearly looks like he has plenty left in the tank as he heads into what is slated to be a contract year in 2025, during which he 's slated to earn $21 million in base salary and account for just over $26 million of the Buccaneers' cap. | |
| 1/12/2025 5:46:00 PM | Williams carried the ball seven times for 29 yards and caught both his targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 31-7 wild-card round loss to the Bills. |
| He led all Broncos running backs in touches plus rushing and scrimmage yards, but QB Bo Nix paced the whole team in rushing yards with 43. Williams will reach free agency this offseason, but his market could be flimsy after he managed just 513 rushing yards on 139 carries for a 3.7 YPC with four TDs over 17 regular-season appearances. The 2021 second-round pick did have a career-best year as a pass catcher though, hauling in 52 of 70 targets for 346 yards, and he could find a role as a third-down option in 2025. The explosiveness he showed in college and over his first 21 NFL games before suffering a serious knee injury seems unlikely to return, however. | |
| 1/11/2025 8:21:00 PM | Herbert completed 14 of 32 pass attempts for 242 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions with no rushing stats in Saturday's wild-card round loss to the Texans. |
| Herbert picked an inopportune time to have the worst passing game of his promising career, as Saturday's four-pick performance was the primary cause of the Chargers' season coming to an abrupt end. The 26-year-old is now 0-2 in two career playoff appearances, which comes on the heels of a solid regular season (3,870-23-3) in head coach Jim Harbaugh's first season with Los Angeles. Herbert and the Chargers' more-balanced offense will have to regroup for the 2025 campaign despite finishing the season well ahead of franchise expectations. | |

| 1/5/2025 10:55:00 PM | Bowers recorded four receptions on nine targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Chargers. |
| Bowers was unable to record his first catch until early in the third quarter, and the majority of his production came in garbage time on the Raiders' final offensive possession. Nevertheless, he managed to tally the fifth touchdown of his rookie season and reached at least 50 receiving yards for the fourth time in seven games since the Raiders' bye in Week 10. Bowers ends his incredible campaign with the most receptions by a rookie in NFL history (112) and the most yardage (1,194) by a rookie tight end in league history. | |
| 1/5/2025 10:42:00 PM | Achane took 11 carries for 121 yards and a touchdown without recording a reception in Sunday's 32-20 loss to the Jets. |
| Achane was the standout on offense in an otherwise forgettable performance by the Dolphins to close out the 2024 schedule. It was also oddly the sterling sophomore's first professional game without recording a target or a reception. Achane capped off a strong fantasy year by setting new career highs in rushing (907) and receiving yards (592) with six rushing and six receiving touchdowns. | |
| 1/5/2025 8:17:00 PM | Trubisky completed 15 of 21 passes for 101 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-16 loss to the Patriots. He added 12 rushing yards on four carries. |
| Josh Allen played the first snap to keep his consecutive start streak alive before turning things over to Trubisky, who connected with Ray Davis for a two-yard TD in the second quarter. Trubisky then gave way to Mike White midway through the third quarter. It was the first extensive action of the season for either backup QB, and it will likely be their last, as Allen will take back the reins of the offense when the Bills host the Broncos in the wild-card round next weekend. | |
| 1/5/2025 6:21:00 PM | Bigsby carried the ball 14 times for 39 yards and a touchdown and caught his only target for three yards in Sunday's 26-23 overtime loss to the Colts. |
| The second-year RB split the workload in the Jaguars' backfield with Travis Etienne, and while Etienne was more productive in terms of overall yardage (60 yards on 16 touches), Bigsby's one-yard TD plunge in the first quarter was the only score either of them managed. Bigsby wrapped up the 2024 campaign with 766 rushing yards on 168 carries, good for a 4.6 YPC that was far superior to Etienne's 3.7 mark, but the latter offers more as a pass catcher. The duo seems likely to remain in a timeshare to begin 2025. | |
