| 6/12/2025 3:15:00 PM | Benson said Thursday that he added seven pounds during the offseason but feels more explosive, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports. |
| Benson also said he wants the Cardinals to have "two RB1s" this season, suggesting he's ready for a larger role behind James Conner after taking 69 touches for 350 total yards (on 137 snaps) during his rookie campaign. The 2024 third-round pick missed the final three games of last season with an ankle injury but came back healthy for OTAs and minicamp this spring. There aren't many running backs that offer a better combination of speed and size, with Benson having run a 4.39 40 at the 2024 Combine at 6 feet, 216 pounds. It sounds like he may have maintained that speed while pushing his weight to the 220-225 range. | |
| 6/10/2025 1:02:00 PM | Wilson is attending the first day of New York's mandatory minicamp Tuesday, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports. |
| Wilson continues to seek a contract extension after the Jets exercised his fifth-year option in April, but there have been no signs that the No. 1 wideout's desire for a long-term extension could impact his attendance of team activities. Now heading into his age-25 season, Wilson will spend the offseason working to build chemistry with Justin Fields, the third time in his career he's entered the year with a new quarterback under center. Despite constant turmoil in his surroundings, Wilson has never missed a regular-season game or finished below 1,000 receiving yards since entering the league as a 2022 first-round pick. It remains to be seen how efficient Fields and the passing game will be under new offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand, but Wilson remains positioned as the Jets' unquestioned top receiving option and appears destined for a dominant target share. | |
| 6/6/2025 1:27:00 PM | Higgins said Wednesday at voluntary OTAs that he's adapted his offseason practice regimen to focus on preventing injuries, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports. |
| Higgins, who inked a massive four-year, $115 million deal with the Bengals in March, said that in addition to focusing on strength and speed, his goal this offseason has been to "get my muscles right" and break his trend of lower-body soft-tissue injuries. Such issues forced him to miss five regular-season games in both 2023 and 2024. Even if he plays a full 17 regular-season games for the first time in his career, Higgins could have a tough time repeating his per-game efficiency from 2024, when he tallied 73 catches for 911 yards (on 109 targets) and a career-high 12 touchdowns across 12 appearances. A portion of Higgins' production can be attributed to Joe Burrow leading the league in pass attempts while struggling to compensate for Cincinnati's porous defense, which allowed 25.5 points per game. The Bengals failed to substantially revamp the defense this offseason, though, which could set the stage for a similar script in 2025, especially with Ja'Marr Chase and TE Mike Gesicki having re-signed to provide complete continuity on offense. | |
| 5/30/2025 2:03:00 PM | Al-Shaair (knee) participated in Wednesday's organized team activities, Drew Dougherty of the Texans' official site reports. |
| Al-Shaair picked up a knee injury during the Texans' divisional-round loss to the Chiefs, but he now appears to have moved past the issue. The Florida Atlantic product served as Houston's top middle linebacker last season, recording 70 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, four passes defended and two forced fumbles over 11 regular-season contests. With Al-Shaair back at full health, he's expected to remain one of the Texans' top defensive playmakers in 2025. | |
| 5/29/2025 4:35:00 PM | McPherson has recovered from a torn abductor muscle sustained in 2024, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports. |
| McPherson has been participating in Cincinnati's voluntary OTAs, indicating he's fully recovered from the abdomen injury that forced him to miss the team's final five games last season. The Florida product had the worst season of his NFL career in 2024, converting on just 16 of 22 field-goal attempts. Over the past two seasons, he's made only 52.6 percent of his field-goal tries (10 of 19) from 50 or more yards. However, he's missed just one of his last 78 extra-point attempts and appears poised for a bounce-back season in 2025. | |
| 5/28/2025 2:13:00 PM | Chubb (knee) is participating in a limited capacity during OTAs, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports. |
| Coach Mike McDaniel said Wednesday that Chubb has practiced in most sessions during offseason workouts so far. It's a promising development for him after he missed the entire 2024 season recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in Week 17 of the 2023 campaign. If available, he projects to play a major role on the edge for Miami in 2025. | |
| 5/28/2025 1:10:00 PM | Reed (shoulder) is participating in on-field positional drills at OTAs on Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. |
| Reed appears back to full health after having suffered a dislocated shoulder during Green Bay's 22-10 wild-card loss to the Eagles in January, an injury for which he didn't require surgery. The third-year pro has prioritized bulking up early in the offseason, with passing-game coordinator Jason Vrable saying in mid-May that Reed is currently 199 pounds after playing at 187 pounds in 2024. The Packers' selection of Matthew Golden in the first round of April's draft, plus Savion Williams in the third round, provides Jordan Love and the passing game the requisite tools to grow more dynamic in 2025, a development that could prove positive for Reed in Year 3 even if he faces increased target competition. Romeo Doubs (concussion) and newcomer Mecole Hardman (knee) are also practicing Wednesday. | |
| 5/12/2025 11:44:00 AM | Fairbairn agreed to terms Monday on a contract restructure with the Texans for the purpose of freeing up salary cap space, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. |
| Fairbairn's restructure converts part of his $4.73 million base salary into a $3.46 million signing bonus while adding multiple void years to the end of his deal. He still remains under contract through 2026 after having inked a a three-year extension last offseason. The 31-year-old converted 36 of 42 field-goal attempts and 34 of 36 extra-point tries across 17 regular-season appearances in 2024, though he struggled in Houston's divisional-round playoff loss to Kansas City. He remains positioned as the Texans' starting kicker. | |
| 5/5/2025 2:23:00 PM | Stafford and the Rams finalized terms on a two-year, $84 million contract Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. |
| Stafford finally put pen to paper Monday after the two sides agreed to continue their relationship back in February. Stafford will collect $44 million in 2025, and if he's on the roster at the start of the 2026 league year, he'll earn another $40 million for that season. Stafford recently turned 37 years old this offseason, but coach Sean McVay has already stated he believes the quarterback has multiple good seasons left in the tank. Stafford completed 65.8 percent of his passes last season, throwing for 3,762 yards and a 20:8 TD:INT across 16 regular-season starts. | |
| 4/7/2025 2:35:00 PM | The Jaguars exercised Walker's fifth-year team option for the 2026 season Monday. |
| Walker has produced 24.0 sacks in 49 regular-season appearances (48 starts) since Jacksonville drafted him first overall out of Georgia in the 2022 NFL Draft. After a quiet rookie season, he had 10.0 sacks in 2023 and 10.5 sacks in 2024. Walker will have a fully guaranteed $14.75 million salary in 2026 after playing the final season of his original four-year, $37.37 million rookie contract in 2025. | |
| 3/10/2025 12:55:00 PM | Garoppolo is re-signing with the Rams on a one-year contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. |
| This comes as no surprise, after Garoppolo threw for 334 yards and two touchdowns in a Week 18 loss to Seattle while mostly playing with other backups (against the Seahawks' starters). It was an impressive performance, and a far cry from what Garoppolo did the year before in seven games for the Raiders (seven TDs, nine interceptions). In any case, he's 33 years old and will return to Los Angeles as Matthew Stafford's backup. | |
| 3/9/2025 7:05:00 PM | Sherwood and the Jets agreed on a three-year, $45 million contract with $30 million fully guaranteed Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. |
| Sherwood will stick around New York after spending the first four years of his career with the Jets, most recently compiling a career-high 158 total tackles (98 solo), including 2.0 sacks, over 17 regular-season games in 2024. With fellow middle linebacker C.J. Mosley (neck) expected to return in 2025 after missing 13 games in 2024, Sherwood may see a dip in production following his impressive year. | |
| 2/6/2025 2:23:00 PM | Ekeler finished the 2024 regular season with 77 carries for 367 yards and four touchdowns and 35 catches for 366 yards in 12 games, adding 34 touches for 173 yards in three playoff appearances. |
| Ekeler mostly played well in the first season of a two-year contract, but he suffered a pair of concussions along the way and then lost a fumble in the NFC Championship Game. His future in Washington is uncertain, as the team can add $3.46 million in cap space by releasing Ekeler this offseason. Regardless of how things play out with the Commanders, his days as a top fantasy asset appear numbered, with Ekeler now trying to continue his career as a backup/passing-down specialist. He'll turn 30 in May. | |
| 1/20/2025 8:02:00 PM | Queen finished the 2024 season with 129 tackles (65 solo), including 1.0 sacks, seven pass breakups, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games with Pittsburgh. |
| After spending the first four seasons of his career with Baltimore, Queen signed a three-year, $41 million deal with the division-rival Steelers last offseason and went on to start all 17 regular-season contests. Queen has yet to miss a game or a start since entering the NFL in 2020, a streak that has spanned 84 contests. Queen's 129 tackles marked the second-highest single-season total of his career. Queen is signed through the 2026 campaign. | |
| 1/18/2025 3:59:00 PM | Bates recorded 102 tackles, including 1.0 sacks, along with 10 pass defenses (including four interceptions, one of which was a pick-six), four forced fumbles and a fumble recovery over 17 regular-season games. |
| Bates wasn't able to approach the career-high 132 stops he made in 2023, but he was still prolific as a tackler, notching his fifth career season with triple-digit stops. He also had two fewer interceptions than in the previous campaign, though he had twice as many pickoffs than anyone else on the Falcons and tied for 10th in the NFL in that category. For good measure, Bates recorded his second career pick-sick in Week 16 against the Giants and tied for fifth in the NFL with a career-best four forced fumbles. He's slated to be the centerpiece of Atlanta's secondary -- and an elite IDP option -- again in 2025, when he'll be in the third year of the four-year contract he inked in March of 2023. | |
| 1/12/2025 9:02:00 PM | Jacobs rushed the ball 18 times for 81 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Eagles. He added three receptions on three targets for 40 yards. |
| Jacobs was the driving force behind Green Bay's comeback attempt in the second half, with the highlight being an impressive 32-yard touchdown run at the close of the third quarter. He also chipped in long receptions of 15 and 14 yards to close his campaign on a strong note. After posting a career-best 16 touchdowns while tallying 1,671 yards from scrimmage during the regular season, Jacobs will almost certainly be back to lead the backfield for the Packers in 2025. | |
| 1/12/2025 5:53:00 PM | Sutton caught five of nine targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 31-7 wild-card round loss to the Bills. |
| The veteran wideout led the Broncos in catches, targets and receiving yards, although it was Troy Franklin who was on the other end of rookie QB Bo Nix's only TD pass Sunday. Sutton put together arguably the best campaign of his career in 2024, hauling in a career-high 81 passes for 1,081 yards and a career-high eight touchdowns over 17 regular-season contests, and his per-game averages soared in the second half of the year (60-804-6 over his last 10 games) once he developed stronger chemistry with Nix. Sutton is under contract for one more year, and assuming he returns to Denver in 2025, his big finish will put him in high demand at the fantasy draft table. | |
| 1/7/2025 9:33:00 AM | Mills completed 12 of 22 passes for 128 yards and rushed three times for 11 yards in Sunday's 23-14 win over the Titans in Week 18. |
| After starting quarterback C.J. Stroud engineered the opening possession, which resulted in a touchdown, the reins were handed to Mills for the rest of the game. He made appearances in three blowouts during the season before guiding the Texans through most of the regular-season finale. Mills completed 20 of 36 passes for 212 yards over his four games played in 2024. Stroud wasn't as consistent in 2024 as during his rookie 2023 season, but it never go to the point where a quarterback change became necessary. The Texans are happy to keep Mills, who has two years of experience under the current coaching regime, as the backup heading into next season. | |
| 1/5/2025 5:21:00 PM | Robinson rushed 28 times for 170 yards and two touchdowns and brought in two of five targets for three yards in the Falcons' 44-38 overtime loss to the Panthers on Sunday. |
| Robinson saved his best for last in terms of the 2024 season, recording a new career high in rushing yards while also scoring a pair of rushing touchdowns for the third consecutive game on runs of three and four yards. Robinson continuously ripped off chunk gains against the Panthers' league-worst run defense, and he'll finish the 2024 campaign with five 100-yard efforts -- all which came from Week 7 on -- and at least 90 rushing yards in six straight contests. | |
