Broncos | Jonah Elliss on pace for camp Thu May 16, 01:33 PM
Denver Broncos LB Jonah Elliss (shoulder) should be recovered from shoulder surgery in time to participate in training camp.
| Footballguys view: Elliss had surgery six months ago, so the team expects there to be enough time for him to recover to make a big impact this year on defense. He had 12 sacks in 10 games at Utah last year and could be a value as a third round pick because of the injury. |

Rams | LAR signs six draft picks Mon May 13, 07:14 PM
Los Angeles Rams third-round draft choice RB Blake Corum, sixth-round draft choice DT Tyler X. Davis, sixth-round draft choice PK Joshua Karty, sixth-round draft choice C Beaux Limmer, sixth-round draft choice WR Jordan Whittington and seventh-round draft choice OT KT Leveston signed four-year contracts with the Rams Monday, May 13. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Coming off a productive career at Michigan, Corum is expected to complement Kyren Williams in Los Angeles. The question is whether the newcomer will become a limiting factor for Williams, who is RB8 on the Footballguys 2024 Draft Rankings. Williams finished last year as fantasy's RB7, but volume was the key to his success. At this point, Corum's possible impact is something to watch as the Rams enter training camp and the exhibition season. |

Updating a previous report, Washington Commanders DT Jer'Zhan Newton's (foot) foot injury is not in the one that was surgically repaired, but he may need a procedure to correct it, head coach Dan Quinn said on Saturday, May 11.
| Footballguys view: Newton was a borderline first round pick and the Commanders took him with the fourth pick of the second round. This sounds like an issue that could affect him into training camp, which could derail his chances of making a big impact in year one. The good news for Washington is that they already have the best defensive tackle combination in the league, so Newton isn't essential in their 2024 plans. |

Browns | Five draft picks under contract Sat May 11, 09:54 AM
Cleveland Browns third-round draft choice OG Zak Zinter, fifth-round draft choice WR Jamari Thrash, sixth-round draft choice LB Nathaniel Watson, seventh-round draft choice CB Myles Harden and seventh-round draft choice DT Jowon Briggs signed four-year contracts with the Browns Friday, May 10. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Thrash has the speed to threaten as a downfield receiver, but he's a bit of a finesse player who may struggle to shake more physical coverage in the NFL. He'll compete with 2022 sixth round pick Michael Woods II, former Raven James Proche, and former Buc Jaelon Darden for the Browns #6 receiver spot. |
Commanders | Four rookies sign contracts Sat May 11, 09:54 AM
Washington Commanders third-round draft choice WR Luke McCaffrey, fifth-round draft choice LB Jordan Magee, fifth-round draft choice S Dominique Hampton, and seventh-round draft choice DE Javontae Jean-Baptiste signed four-year contracts with the Commanders Friday, May 10. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: McCaffrey is Christian's little brother and Ed's son. Those bloodlines matter in the NFL, but so does his outstanding all-around athletic profile from the combine. He originally came to college as a quarterback, so the Commanders must believe that there's extra upside in McCaffrey's outlook. Don't expect a big splash this year, but if 2022 first round pick Jahan Dotson doesn't click with a new regime, McCaffrey could be an important target for #2 overall pick Jayden Daniels in a year or two. |
Bengals | Cincinnati inks five rookies Sat May 11, 09:54 AM
Cincinnati Bengals third-round draft choice DT McKinnley Jackson (Texas A&M), fifth-round draft choice CB Josh Newton (Texas Christian), sixth-round draft choice TE Tanner McLachlan (Arizona), seventh-round draft choice S Daijahn Anthony (Mississippi) and seventh-round draft choice C Matt Lee (Miami, Fla.) signed four-year contracts on Friday, May 10. Financial terms of the deals were not immediately disclosed.
| Footballguys view: McLachlan is the name to remember here. The Bengals took a very talented Iowa tight end - Erick All - in the fourth round, but he has a lengthy and worrisome injury history. If All can't stay healthy, McLachlan could be Joe Burrow's tight end of the future. McLachlan's 4.61 40 and 35" vertical were both among the top five tight ends at the combine. |
Falcons | Atlanta inks three sixth-round rookies Sat May 11, 09:54 AM
Atlanta Falcons sixth-round draft choices RB Jase McClellan (Alabama), WR Casey Washington (Illinois) and DT Zion Logue (Georgia) signed four-year contracts on Friday, May 10. Financial terms of the deals were not immediately disclosed.
| Footballguys view: McClellan didn't quite live up to the Alabama draft pedigree, but he could be an effective inside runner and backup to Tyler Allgeier in that role if he makes the team. |
Vikings | Three rookies ink deals with Minnesota Sat May 11, 09:54 AM
Minnesota Vikings sixth-round draft choice PK Will Reichard (Alabama), seventh-round draft choice OL Michael Jurgens (Wake Forest) and seventh-round draft choice DL Levi Drake Rodriguez (Texas A&M - Commerce) signed four-year contracts on Friday, May 10. Financial terms of the deals were not immediately disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Reichard is the all-time leading scoring in college football history, and he was the first kicker drafted in April. He only has to beat out 2023 all-XFL kicker John Parker Romo to start for the Vikings this season. |
