Chargers | Tyler Boyd visits Wed May 1, 05:05 PM
Free-agent WR Tyler Boyd (Bengals) met with this Los Angeles Chargers this week, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: The Steelers, Chiefs, and Jets were all reportedly interested in the veteran slot receiver this offseason. He hasn't signed anywhere yet, but a team like the Chargers could use him. They did select Georgia WR Ladd McConkey in the second round of the 2024 NFL draft, but Boyd could provide more veteran depth. Currently, they have Joshua Palmer and Quentin Johnston as their top two receivers. |

Patriots | Extension possible for Rhamonde Stevenson Wed May 1, 03:53 PM
New England Patriots RB Rhamondre Stevenson said he believes the Patriots could intensify contract extension talks with him since the 2024 Draft is over. He said he wants to be with the Patriots for a long time.
| Footballguys view: Stevenson needs to stay healthy and play like he did in 2022 if he wants a new deal with the Patriots. He took a step backward last year, but new HC Jerod Mayo could give him a healthy workload. We'll see if the Patriots feel the same way about Stevenson as he feels about them. |

Giants | Could Drew Lock start for Giants? Wed May 1, 12:16 PM
New York Giants QB Drew Lock 'has a chance to compete a little bit and maybe push Daniel Jones' in the eyes of the team, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo said Monday, April 29.
| Footballguys view: That is a distinct possibility for the Giants, and it would be interesting to see Lock out there with his new team. He's grown and developed with his time in Seattle, and Lock could look much different than he did as the Broncos' starter. The Giants were interested in quarterbacks this offseason, but they didn't take one in the draft. Instead, it could be Lock who secures the starting job whether Jones is healthy or not (he's working his way back from a torn ACL in November). |

Link to story Seahawks | Rashaad Penny could be added Wed May 1, 01:17 AM
Free-agent RB Rashaad Penny (Eagles) recently met with the Seattle Seahawks, and general manager John Schneider said there is a chance that the Seahawks sign Penny.
| Footballguys view: The Seahawks know Penny well as he was their first-round draft pick in the 2018 NFL draft. He was with the Eagles in 2023, but going back to Seattle makes sense for both sides. If added, Penny would give the team veteran depth behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet. |

Rams | Boston Scott joining Rams Wed May 1, 01:17 AM
Free-agent RB Boston Scott (Eagles) agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Rams Tuesday, April 30, according to sources. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: The Rams have Kyren Williams as their lead back, and they selected Michigan RB Blake Corum in the third round of the 2024 NFL draft. Scott is a compact scat back who can make plays as a runner or receiver. Plus, he's got special teams value. |

Titans | Treylon Burks impressing HC Wed May 1, 01:17 AM
Tennessee Titans WR Treylon Burks has been impressive during the early part of the offseason program and is learning the new offense, according to head coach Brian Callahan.
| Footballguys view: Burks needs to impress the staff as the former first-round pick (2022) has yet to play up to his potential in the pros. Not only will Burks compete with DeAndre Hopkins for targets, but with the addition of Calvin Ridley that puts Burks as third in the pecking order at the wide receiver position. |
Patriots | New England will have QB competition Wed May 1, 01:17 AM
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye and QB Jacoby Brissett will compete for the starting quarterback job during offseason workouts as well as training camp and the best quarterback will start Week 1, according to head coach Jerod Mayo.
| Footballguys view: Maye was the team's pick at no.3 overall in the 2024 NFL draft, but he may not be ready to start. Brissett is a seasoned veteran with a ton of experience, and he could be the man under center until the rookie is ready. Maye has a strong arm and he can threaten a defense as a runner, but he plays a lot of "hero ball" and will try throws into coverage when it's best to take the easier throw. We'll see how long it takes to get that coached out of him. |

Chiefs | GM Veach: Travis Kelce Isn't Slowing Down Tue Apr 30, 04:28 PM
On Monday, the Kansas City Chiefs made 34-year-old Travis Kelce the highest-paid tight end in the NFL with a new two-year, $34.25 million contract. After announcing the extension on Monday, general manager Brett Veach repeatedly called Kelce an "outlier" and said he doesn't expect to see a production collapse as he ages. "Again, the odds of someone playing this far into their 30s is very low, but it does happen, and it happens with unicorns in the profession, and Travis is one of those," Veach said. "We'll just have to wait and see, but he's shown no signs of slowing down. Everyone notices the kind of postseason he had; he just found an extra gear. These special players are always able to find that extra gear and again if anybody can do it, Travis can."
| Footballguys view: Missing two games in 2023 and dealing with multiple injuries, Kelce snapped a streak of seven campaigns over the 1,000-yard mark with his 984-yard campaign. Even the veteran would admit he wasn't as spry during the regular season. But as NFL.com's Kevin Patra points out, come the postseason run, Kelce was back to his dominant ways. He had 32 catches (a career postseason high) for 355 yards and three touchdowns. As he ran away from 49ers defenders after a crucial catch in the Super Bowl, Kelce looked like he could play for another handful of seasons. In 2024, the key will be balancing Kelce's workload over the course of 17 regular season games to ensure the then 35-year-old is at full force come the playoffs. Again, the hope is that the wide receiver additions of Marquise Brown and rookie Xavier Worthy open things up for Kelce, who can be had a slight discount (over previous years) in current fantasy drafts. |

Jaguars | Zay Jones released Tue Apr 30, 10:35 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Zay Jones was released Tuesday, April 30. The move saves around $4 million on the salary cap.
| Footballguys view: This outcome isn't a huge surprise. The Jaguars selected Brian Thomas Jr. with the 23rd pick overall in last week's NFL Draft. They also signed former Bills wideout Gabe Davis to a three-year contract in March. Davis and Thomas will be the starters outside, with Christian Kirk in the slot and TE Evan Engram moving around the formation. Jones, was coming off a season in which he missed eight games because of knee injuries. Jones will be looking to find a landing spot with a path to workload. Until he does, fantasy managers should look elsewhere. |
