| 4/30/2025 10:46:00 AM | The Falcons are exercising their fifth-year option on London's rookie contract, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. |
| The eighth overall pick from the 2022 Draft is now under contract through 2026, although it may not be long before he signs an extension that locks him in beyond that. London had career highs in every major counting stat last year, including 41 more targets (158) and 366 more yards (1,271) than his previous personal bests. He had just three 100-yard performances, but two of those came in the final two games after Michael Penix took over as Atlanta's starting QB. There should be plenty of volume for London again in 2025, after the Falcons focused on their defense this offseason and failed to acquire any significant competition for targets or carries. | |
| 4/28/2025 3:58:00 PM | McMillan is part of a crowded WR room that just added Emeka Egbuka with the 19th overall draft pick. |
| One might assume no concerns about job security for a 2024 third-round pick who scored seven TDs over the final five weeks of his initial NFL regular season. Unfortunately for McMillan, there's a chance Egubka proves to be the superior player, and not much chance of Mike Evans or Chris Godwin (ankle) getting benched. Of course, it's also possible the concerns prove unfounded and McMillan cements himself as a quality starter, with Egubka either brought along slowly or getting most of his snaps when Evans/Godwin miss time. There does seem to be a lot of overlap between McMillan, Godwin and Egubka in terms of relative strengths and weaknesses, whereas Evans is a different animal altogether, largely running downfield routes on the perimeter. | |
| 4/28/2025 1:19:00 PM | Steelers offensive coordinator Arthur Smith said the dynamic between Warren and third-round pick Kaleb Johnson will be different than that between Warren and former teammate Najee Harris. |
| The 224-pound rookie, drafted 83rd overall, profiles cleanly as a replacement for Harris, but that doesn't necessarily mean it'll be a one-for-one thing with Johnson immediately taking 250-plus carries. Harris topped that number in each of his four seasons in Pittsburgh, despite averaging 4.1 YPC or less every year, in part because he never missed a game and was decent enough at blocking and receiving to stay on the field for some passing downs. Johnson may well prove to be Harris' equal or superior as a runner, but Warren could nonetheless take on a larger role than he had the past few seasons if the Steelers aren't confident in other aspects of Johnson's game. Warren signed a second-round restricted free agent tender a few days before the draft, keeping him under contract for 2025 at $5.35 million -- about the same as what Harris is getting from the Chargers, coincidentally. | |
| 4/9/2025 7:58:00 PM | Lawrence (shoulder) will be limited during the spring as he continues to recover from AC joint surgery, Mike DiRocco of ESPN.com reports. |
| Lawrence underwent surgery on his left, non-throwing shoulder Dec. 17 and was in a sling until late January. While the Jaguars plan to bring him along slowly, he's expected to be fully cleared for the start of training camp later this summer. "We're optimistic that we'll get there in terms of where we need to go," coach Liam Coen said Wednesday. "He'll be on a pitch count for those things. In terms of the where he has to get to, because he has little touch points he needs to reach before he can obviously get out onto the grass and do it full speed, everything's moving forward. He feels really good right now, so excited about that." Lawrence relayed that he's "very optimistic" he'll be ready well ahead of Week 1. | |
| 3/14/2025 1:48:00 PM | The Chiefs are re-signing Hunt to a one-year, $1.5 million contract Friday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports. |
| Hunt joined Kansas City last September in the wake of an early-season IR stint for Isiah Pacheco due to a fractured fibula. He served as the team's starter for a stretch and then split backfield reps with Pacheco once the latter returned to the lineup, up through the Chiefs' loss to Philadelphia in Super Bowl LIX. Hunt concluded the regular season with 200 carries for 728 yards and seven scores across 13 appearances, plus 23 catches for 176 yards through the air (32 targets). A full offseason to get back to 100 percent form may allow Pacheco to reclaim a firm grasp on the lead role of the Chiefs' backfield, which also added speedster Elijah Mitchell in free agency, but Hunt's solid showing in 2024 figures to leave him in position for a solid amount of complementary snaps. The exact pecking order of Kansas City's rushing attack may not gain clarity until training camp and/or the preseason. | |
| 3/9/2025 6:48:00 PM | Jones (knee) agreed to terms on a three-year, $33 million extension with Seattle on Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. |
| Jones will stay with the Seahawks after he was acquired via trade from Tennessee in October. The 25-year-old tallied 94 tackles (48 solo), including 0.5 sacks, and one interception over 10 games in Seattle last season, and he's totaled 114, 145 and 138 tackles over the last three seasons with the Rams, Titans and Seahawks. Jones underwent surgery shortly after the 2024 campaign to address a knee issue that he had dealt with for over a year. It's unclear when he'll fully recover from this procedure, but the team's decision to re-sign him to a long-term extension certainly provides optimism that he'll be healthy for the 2025 regular season. | |
| 3/4/2025 7:15:00 PM | Aubrey underwent shoulder surgery this offseason, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports. |
| Aubrey is expected to be ready to go for the Cowboys' offseason program after undergoing a minor procedure on his shoulder. The kicker is coming off a 2024 campaign in which he made 40 of 47 field-goal attempts, including an impressive 14-for-17 from 50-plus yards. | |
| 3/4/2025 2:22:00 PM | The Eagles and Barkley agreed to terms Tuesday on a two-year, $41.2 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. |
| Barkley's new deal reportedly includes $36 million fully guaranteed at signing, plus incentives worth up to an additional $15 million, making him the highest-paid running back in NFL history. The reigning Offensive Player of the Year, Barkley's arrival in Philadelphia transformed the team's identity, resulting in a season which ultimately culminated in a Super Bowl LIX victory over Kansas City. Barkley will warrant consideration for the No. 1 overall pick in 2025 fantasy drafts, with the Eagles set to return a top-end offensive line to open holes for one of the most explosive and versatile threats from scrimmage in the league. | |

| 1/28/2025 11:16:00 PM | Willis recorded 550 passing yards, three passing touchdowns, 138 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown over seven appearances in 2024. |
| The Packers acquired Willis from the Titans less than two weeks before the regular season began, and that proved to be a pivotal move, as he led the Packers to victory in both Weeks 2 and 3 while filling in for an injured Jordan Love. The sample size was small, but Willis posted a sterling 124.8 quarterback rating in 2024, which put him back on the map after a nondescript start to his career. Willis has one year remaining on his rookie contract, so barring a trade to a team that may be interested in him as a starter, he will be back in Green Bay for another go-around. | |
| 1/25/2025 8:32:00 PM | To'oTo'o finished the 2024 season with 105 tackles (54 solo), including 1.5 sacks, three pass breakups, including one interception, and one forced fumble across 15 regular-season games. |
| To'oTo'o started all 15 regular-season games he appeared in during his second season and upped his tackles total by 44 from 61 as a rookie. He missed Weeks 7-8 in the middle of the season due to a concussion but still led the Texans in tackles, logging 30 more than the next closest teammate. To'oTo'o should be locked into an every-down role for the 2025 campaign. | |
| 1/22/2025 5:31:00 PM | Bonitto played in all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 48 tackles (33 solo), including 13.5 sacks, four pass defenses (including a pick-six), two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery that was returned for a touchdown. |
| The 2022 second-round pick out of Oklahoma led the Broncos with a career-high 13.5 sacks, which was third-most in the NFL behind Trey Hendrickson (17.5) and Myles Garrett (14.0). Bonitto hadn't scored a defensive touchdown in the first two years of his NFL career, but he had back-to-back defensive scores in Week 13 and Week 15. Bonitto's efforts in 2024 earned him a spot in the Pro Bowl and Second-Team All-Pro, and the 25-year-old edge rusher could be in line for a sizeable contract extension during the offseason. | |
| 1/20/2025 10:43:00 PM | Cashman finished the 2024 season with 112 tackles (68 solo), including 4.5 sacks, eight pass breakups and one fumble recovery across 14 regular-season contests. |
| After starting just eight games from 2019-22 with the Jets and Texans, Cashman started 13 games for the 2023 Texans and set a career high with 106 tackles. He then landed a three-year, $22.5 million deal in free agency from Minnesota and went on to set new career bests across the board, making 14 starts, despite missing three games with a toe injury. Cashman recorded double-digit tackles six times, including in the wild-card playoff loss to the Rams. Cashman should again be an every-down linebacker and tackles machine in 2025 under ultra-aggressive defensive coordinator Brian Flores. | |
| 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 8:55:00 PM | Love completed 20 of 33 passes for 212 yards, no touchdowns and three interceptions in Sunday's 22-10 loss to the Eagles. He added two rushes for 10 yards. |
| Love was without some of his top pass-catching options for significant portions of the game and was also dealing with a beat-up offensive line. Even with that context, it was a disappointing showing, highlighted by an interception shortly before halftime that denied the Packers a potential scoring opportunity. Love did find some rhythm in the second half, as he completed 11 of his 18 passes for 142 yards, though it wasn't enough to complete the comeback bid. He'll enter the offseason looking to get healthy after enduring a 2024 season that included both upper- and lower-body injuries, and he'll be back to lead the Packers' offense once again in 2025. | |
| 1/9/2025 3:13:00 PM | Williams finished the 2024 season with 2.0 sacks among his 116 tackles (74 solo), as well as four passes defensed, four forced fumbles and three fumbles recovered. |
| Williams posted a fourth consecutive season with at least 106 tackles and continued his strong play despite the Jets' defense taking a step back as a unit. The 28-year-old linebacker will carry a cap hit of $8.425 million in 2025 as he wraps up a three-year, $18 million contract. | |
| 1/5/2025 11:12:00 PM | Waddle (knee) brought in four of nine targets for 44 yards while taking his lone carry for six yards in Sunday's 32-20 loss to the Jets. |
| Waddle successfully returned from a knee injury Sunday that cost him two weeks of game action. The star wideout had mixed results, catching just 44 percent of his targets for 44 yards. The lack of efficiency can be explained by possibly playing at less than 100 percent, in addition to the poor quarterback play of backup Tyler Huntley with Tua Tagovailoa (hip) sitting this one out. Waddle posted the worst receiving line of his professional career in 2024, finishing with 58 receptions for 744 yards and two touchdowns across 15 games played. With news of Tyreek Hill wanting out of Miami following Sunday's ugly defeat, Waddle could be in store for a huge jump in usage in 2025 if that scenario plays out. | |
| 1/5/2025 9:43:00 PM | Nabers caught five of eight targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 loss to the Eagles. |
| The rookie wideout appeared headed for a quiet afternoon until he connected with Drew Lock for a 45-yard score in the fourth quarter. Nabers led all first-year wide receivers with 109 receptions (and briefly held an NFL rookie record for all pass catchers with that total until Las Vegas tight end Brock Bowers, who finished with 112 catches, surpassed him later Sunday) in only 15 appearances, turning them into 1,204 yards and seven TDs on 170 targets -- second in the entire NFL in target volume behind Ja'Marr Chase's 175. Those numbers are even more impressive when you factor in the QB turmoil the Giants went through in 2024, and if the team can bring in a new long-term starter this offseason to develop some chemistry with Nabers, he could deliver truly elite numbers across the board in 2025. | |
