Worthy will not be charged following his Friday arrest in Williamson County, Texas, Tyler Davis of the Austin American-Statesman reports.
|
Worthy was booked for assault against a family or household member by impeding their breathing or circulation, which is a third-degree felony, but after authorities spoke with witnesses, the district attorney is not accepting the case at this time. Worthy's lawyers indicated it was an attempt at extortion by Worthy's accuser. It sounds like Worthy could avoid any sort of discipline from the NFL.

Metcalf requested a trade from the Seahawks on Wednesday, and Seattle has agreed to explore moving the wideout, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
|
According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, Metcalf -- who has one year left on his contract -- is seeking a new deal, so any trade would likely be contingent on the acquiring team being willing to extend him. The 27-year-old wideout is coming off a season in which he posted a 66-992-5 receiving line over 15 games, and while that level of production represented a step back from previous years, Metcalf is still likely to draw ample interest around the league from teams looking to add a field-stretching playmaker. Seattle released longtime slot wideout Tyler Lockett on Wednesday, so the team's receiving corps could look dramatically different in 2025 if Metcalf is ultimately traded.

Collins agreed to terms Wednesday on a contract restructure that opens up $9.8 million in cap space for the Texans, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
|
Collins' restructure comes in the form of his $13.5 million base salary being converted into a signing bonus. The move provides Houston some additional flexibility ahead of the official start of free agency next week. Collins dealt with injuries that forced him to miss five games in 2024, but he nonetheless managed to finish the campaign with an impressive 68-1,006-7 receiving line on 99 targets across 12 appearances during the regular season. With Stefon Diggs (knee) potentially moving on in free agency and with Tank Dell (knee) in danger of missing a substantial portion of the upcoming season, Collins looks locked in atop the depth chart as C.J. Stroud's clear No. 1 target.

The Giants are shifting their interest in a potential veteran quarterback to Rodgers, following the development of Matthew Stafford and the Rams agreeing to terms on a restructured contract Friday, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.
|
Russini reports New York and Rodgers have discussed a union all week at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine. Rodgers' primary interest was in the Rams, per a recent report from Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News, but with that option now off the table, the 41-year-old signal-caller will have to consider other possibilities. With the Giants, Rodgers would have the opportunity to pair with a young standout wide receiver in Malik Nabers, who, as a rookie working with a combination of Daniel Jones, Drew Lock. Tommy DeVito and Tim Boyle, managed to put together a 109-1,204-7 receiving line across 15 games in 2024. The team additionally has the available cap space to potentially bring in Davante Adams to join Rodgers, a development both players have expressed interest in. Neither Rodgers nor Adams has yet been let go by the Jets, but their respective releases seem like a foregone conclusion.

Pickens is entering a contract year and may "hold in" if he doesn't have an extension before the summer, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
|
Pickens will turn 24 in March, having topped 800 receiving yards in each of his first three seasons. He hasn't quite reached an elite level at his position, but his ability to make difficult, contested catches downfield is second to none, and there's no doubt his production has been negatively impacted by poor quarterback play in Pittsburgh. It's unclear if the QB situation will improve in 2025, potentially adding an extra element of contention to contract negotiations, which may already be difficult in light of Pickens' reputation for mercurial behavior and the gap between his production and his perceived talent/skill. The current CBA essentially eliminates the ability for players to hold out, but if Pickens is unhappy this summer he could opt to show up to the team facilities but not participate in practice.

Taylor appeared in two regular-season games for the Jets in 2024, completing 17 of 22 passes for 119 yards and three touchdowns, while rushing for 13 yards on three carries.
|
The veteran QB remained on the sidelines for the vast majority of the season as Aaron Rodgers stayed healthy enough to start all 17 regular-season games. Taylor is under contract for next season, and assuming he remains with the Jets, will likely be competing for a backup job again behind whoever the team brings in to start, assuming they follow through with releasing Rodgers as expected.

Wentz finished the 2024 regular season completing 12 of 19 passes for 118 yards while logging zero rushing yards on three carries across three games (one start).
|
Wentz signed a one-year, $3.33 million contract with the Chiefs in April 2024 after spending the second half of the 2023 campaign with the Rams. He came in relief for Patrick Mahomes in Weeks 7 and 15, but Wentz was named the starter for Week 18 against the Broncos after the Chiefs locked in the AFC's No. 1 seed after beating the Steelers in Week 17. It was an unimpressive outing for Wentz, who completed 10 of 17 passes for 98 yards in a 38-0 blowout loss. The 2016 second overall pick enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, and it remains to be seen whether he sticks around in Kansas City to continue to serve as the No. 2 QB or explore his options elsewhere.

McDuffie finished the 2024 season with 59 tackles (45 solo), including 0.5 sacks, 13 pass breakups, including two interceptions, and one forced fumble across 16 regular-season games.
|
McDuffie has started all 32 regular-season games in which he's appeared over the last two seasons. After being named a first-team All-Pro in 2023, McDuffie was a second-team All-Pro this season and also finished 22nd in Defensive Player of the Year voting. His 13 pass breakups marked a new career high, and the two interception were the first two of his career. McDuffie has become a quality No. 1 cornerback on the outside for Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo.

Tranquill registered 94 tackles (54 solo), including 2.0 sacks, two pass defenses and two fumble recoveries across 16 regular-season games in 2024. He added 25 tackles (12 solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one forced fumble across the Chiefs' three playoff games.
|
Tranquill finished the regular season as the Chiefs' second-leading tackler behind Nick Bolton (106), but the former led Kansas City in that category during its playoff run. Tranquill logged at least 40 defensive snaps in all but two games he played in 2024 and played a key role in the Chiefs' linebacker corps alongside Bolton and Leo Chenal.

|
Butker knocked home 21 of his 25 field-goal attempts and 29 of his 31 extra-point tries in 13 games during the 2024 regular season.
|
Butker notably missed four contests from Weeks 11-14 due to a left knee injury, but he was again pretty reliable when healthy. Of his four field-goal misfires on the season, three of them came from north of 50 yards out, so it's not a major concern. He remains under wraps with Kansas City through the 2028 season, but his fantasy prospects next season don't seem quite as bright backing a Chiefs offense that has finished middle of the pack in scoring the last two seasons after finishing among the top five in both 2021 and 2022.

Smith-Schuster racked up 18 catches for 231 yards and a pair of touchdowns on 26 targets in 14 games during the 2024 regular season.
|
Smith-Schuster inked a one-year deal with the Chiefs this offseason, hoping to rekindle some of the flames that saw him register 78 grabs for 933 yards and three touchdowns in 2022, but it wasn't in the cards for him this season. He saw semi-regular action in games but wasn't a major factor for the Chiefs, even after Rashee Rice was lost for the season due to an LCL injury. The team instead traded for DeAndre Hopkins and coasted by in the regular season, seeing a late-season return from Hollywood Brown to pair with rookie Xavier Worthy as the team's primary tandem during the postseason. Smith-Schuster reenters free agency this offseason unrestricted but seems unlikely to recapture his production from 2022 when the Chiefs sported a relatively barren wide receiver depth chart. He'll likely need to compete for regular playing time again at his next stop.

Mahomes completed 21 of 32 pass attempts for 257 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions while taking four rushing attempts for 25 yards and a lost fumble in Sunday's 40-22 loss to the Eagles in Super Bowl LIX.
|
Mahomes was stifled for nearly three quarters in Super Bowl LIX before completing the first of three garbage-time touchdowns with 34 seconds remaining in the third quarter of Sunday's one-sided affair. The 28-year-old superstar saw his hopes of a potential third consecutive Super Bowl title erode away with each ensuing unsuccessful offensive drive against a ferocious unit led by defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Mahomes saw a decline in total production in 2024 despite earning the top seed in the AFC, but he maintained a respectable 26:11 TD:INT in 16 starts in the regular season. The Chiefs will look to regroup following a disappointing showing on the national stage and bring in more talent to surround Mahomes for the upcoming 2025 campaign.

Winfield provided 60 tackles (34 solo), including 2.0 sacks, three passes defensed and a fumble recovery he returned for a touchdown across nine regular-season games in 2024.
|
Winfield missed Weeks 2-5 and the last four games of the regular season due to calf and knee injuries, respectively, leading to a career-low number of games played. The large swaths of missed time naturally had a ripple effect on all of Winfield's stats, leading to a career low in tackles and the first interception-less campaign of his accomplished five-year career. Winfield also tied career lows in sacks and defensed passes, and although he failed to force a fumble for the first time as well, the fumble recovery he returned for a touchdown against the Saints in a lopsided Week 6 win marked his first ever trip to the end zone. Winfield was able to suit up for the Buccaneers' wild-card loss to the Commanders and recorded seven tackles across 69 snaps, and he should therefore be ready for all offseason activities and training camp as he approaches the second season of a four-year contract extension he signed prior to the 2024 campaign.

Cooper played in 14 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 87 tackles (57 solo), including 3.5 sacks, four pass defenses (including one interception), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
|
The second-round rookie out of Texas A&M saw limited playing time on defense early in the regular season, but he slowly saw his snap count increase as the year progressed and ended up starting in the Packers' final four games of 2024 (including the NFC wild-card game against the Eagles). Cooper missed three games due to a hamstring injury, but he returned in Week 15 against the Seahawks and accumulated 42 tackles (28 solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses (including one interception) in the following five games (including playoffs). Cooper won the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Month award for December/January and figures to be a staple of the Packers' defense for the 2025 campaign.

|
Cross tallied 146 total tackles (87 solo), including 1.0 sacks, five passes defended, including three interceptions, and one forced fumble over 17 regular-season games in 2024.
|
The third-year pro from Maryland experienced a significant jump in production during his first full season as a starter, setting career highs in total tackles, sacks, passes defended and interceptions while playing 1,111 defensive snaps. Cross finished as the Colts' second-leading tackler, with his 146 stops ranking ninth in the NFL in 2024. His three interceptions also tied Julian Blackmon and Kenny Moore for the most on the Colts' defense. Cross is entering the final season of his rookie deal in 2025, and given his breakout year, he's all but certain to receive an extension offer this offseason. He's expected to continue starting on the Colts' defense next season, serving as one of the team's top playmakers in the secondary.

Wicks recorded two receptions on six targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Eagles.
|
Wicks was thrust into an expanded role with Christian Watson (knee) sidelined and both Jayden Reed (shoulder) and Romeo Doubs (concussion) suffering injuries during the game. He saw a team-high six targets as a result, though he struggled to convert that into production. The exception came on a long 29-yard reception midway through the third quarter, which helped set up a field goal as the Packers attempted to rally. Wicks will be back with the team for his third pro season in 2025, and he could see an expanded role early in the campaign depending on Watson's recovery.

Harris rushed the ball six times for 17 yards in Saturday's 28-14 loss to the Ravens. He added three receptions on three targets for 41 yards.
|
Harris led the Pittsburgh backfield in every statistic, though it's difficult to have many takeaways from this game, as the Steelers were down multiple scores for over half of the game. In part due to game script, he was unable to get going on the ground, but he showed some ability as a pass catcher -- highlighted by a 21-yard catch and run late in the third quarter. Harris is now set to enter free agency for the first time in his career, and his market will be intriguing to watch. He has lacked explosive playmaking ability for most of his career, though he's topped 250 carries in each of his four pro seasons and has proven the ability to lead a backfield.

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.

McLaughlin converted field-goal attempts of 52 and 25 yards and knocked home all three extra-point attempts in the Buccaneers' 27-19 win over the Saints on Sunday. He finished the 2024 regular season having gone 30-for-32 (93.8 percent) on field goals and 54-for-56 on PATs.
|
The veteran kicker managed to inch past his previous career-best field-goal accuracy rate of 93.5 percent, which he'd established just last season, with Sunday's perfect tally. McLaughlin did misfire on extra-point tries for the first time since the 2021 season, but he'll enter the postseason as one of the most trusted kickers in the field of 14 teams and remains under contract with the Buccaneers through the 2026 season.

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.

Allen rushed four times for 15 yards while catching two of three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 32-20 win over the Dolphins. He finishes his rookie season with 92 carries for 334 yards and two touchdowns, as well as 19 catches for 148 yards and one touchdown on 27 targets.
|
Allen won the top backup job behind Breece Hall in training camp and showed promise early, with two of the fourth-round draft pick's three total touchdowns coming Week 2 against the Titans. The rookie wore down and averaged just 3.1 yards per carry from Week 5 onward, and by the end of the year, 2024 fifth-round draft pick Isaiah Davis was splitting backup duties with Allen. The crowded nature of the Jets backfield will make it difficult for Allen to shine in 2025, though the 235-pound running back's big frame makes him a strong candidate for goal-line work.

Robinson is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup versus Atlanta due to a calf injury, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Robinson was deemed questionable late in the first half. He was putting together a strong performance prior to his departure, racking up five tackles. Jaden Crumedy and Sam Roberts are candidates to step in as long as Robinson remains out.
