Link to storyFree-agent RB Austin Ekeler (Commanders) has been medically cleared to return to the field after his torn Achilles tendon and is planning to play in 2026, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Ekeler tore his Achilles in Week 2 and has been recovering ever since. The veteran can bring a trusted presence to any backfield in the pros both as a runner and receiver out of the backfield. Medically cleared now, Ekeler should sign with a team this season - perhaps when injuries start to strike as offseason work (and maybe into training camp) gets underway. |

Philadelphia Eagles WR Makai Lemon signed his rookie contract with the team on Thursday, April 30. It is a 4-year fully guaranteed deal that includes a $11.5 million signing bonus.
Link to storySeattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price 'won't have to be a bell cow right away', sources tell ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
| Footballguys view: It's a good situation for Price to step into, although replacing the Super Bowl MVP (Kenneth Walker) does have challenges. It shouldn't take the Notre Dame speedster long to showcase what he can do in the NFL, and he's used to working in a split backfield because of his experience splitting time with Jeremiyah Love. Seahawks' RB Zach Charbonnet suffered a torn ACL in their divisional round win over the 49ers last postseason, so Price can be penciled in as their RB1. |
Free agent DE Calais Campbell (Cardinals) signed a one-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens on Thursday, April 1. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Link to storyNew York Giants WR Darius Slayton (abdomen) underwent surgery to repair a core muscle and will miss spring activities. He's expected to be ready for training camp.
| Footballguys view: We should see Slayton back in time for training. Missing the offseason work will give guys like veteran Darnell Mooney and rookie Malachi Fields time to impress. We'll see what that competition looks like upon Slayton's return in August. |

Pittsburgh Steelers third-round pick QB Drew Allar will need to have his footwork refined by head coach Mike McCarthy, according to sources. 'He's really got a good feel for what that takes,' a team source said of McCarthy's touch in this area.
| Footballguys view: Allar is a skilled quarterback who has obvious flaws to his game. Last year, a broken left ankle prematurely ended his final season at Penn State. He can avoid sacks and pressure with his legs, but Allar needs to be more mechanically sound when throwing on the run. Allar will benefit from better footwork when asked to be a pocket passer as well. He'll compete with Will Howard to establish a pecking order with the Steelers...until Aaron Rodgers shows up and rejoins the team. |
Cincinnati Bengals second-round pick EDGE Cashius Howell is credited with a high motor. 'He doesn't have the elite bend that some of the other rushers have, but he is absolutely relentless and will play a long time in the NFL as a result,' an AFC scout said.
Link to storyBuffalo Bills fourth-round draft pick WR Skyler Bell could contribute right away, according to multiple scouts.
| Footballguys view: In 2025, Bell set a UCONN record for receptions (101) and receiving touchdowns (13) in a single season. He's a big-play threat anytime he runs a route, and the Bills can find ways to get the rookie on the field. Bell enters a WR room in Buffalo featuring DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, Josh Palmer, and Keon Coleman. That's a group of guys he can compete with and move up the depth chart if he develops his skills to the pro game. |
Cleveland Browns WR KC Concepcion said he believes QB Shadeur Sanders is a great leader and is looking forwarding to working with him. 'I just can't wait to build that relationship and build that connection with him,' Concepcion said.
| Footballguys view: Concepcion met with Sanders and the Colorado Buffaloes after he transferred from NC State. Sanders is competing with Deshaun Watson for the starting job this season, and Concepcion can be a key cog to that offense - immediately - because of his speed and playmaking ability. Let's see how his connection with Sanders looks during the offseason and into training camp/preseason. |
Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Beck's experience in 'big-game environments' was one of the reasons the Cardinals drafted him, according to general manager Monti Ossenfort. 'I think when you see a player who has had big-game experience, when you make this transition to the NFL, there's more hope that it's not going to be too big for them, right?' Ossenfort said.
| Footballguys view: Beck has six years of college experience, with most of his time spent at Georgia. He finished his college career at Miami, and Beck has played some good football over the last few years. He'll get to learn and develop in a Cardinals' QB room that has Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew on the roster. |
Philadelphia Eagles TE Eli Stowers has rare athleticism, according to head coach Nick Sirianni. 'He does some things that no one else can do,' Sirianni said. 'Just to be able to create mismatches with him. He is a tough cover, catches everything, good after the catch, speed, quickness. Really excited to have him.'
| Footballguys view: Stowers was arguably the best receiving tight end in this draft class. A converted quarterback, Stowers knows where to sit down in a zone and comes back to the ball. Stowers brings speed and athleticism to the field at the tight end position. The Eagles should find ways to get him on the field behind Dallas Goedert. With Goedert hitting free agency in 2027, Stowers can be considered the future at the position. |
Free-agent TE Harrison Bryant (Texans) signed with the Seattle Seahawks Wednesday, April 29. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Bryant is a seasoned veteran who can block and catch. He'll provide the Seahawks with depth behind A.J. Barner, Elijah Arroyo, and Eric Saubert. We won't see Bryant do much unless injuries strike at the position. |

Indianapolis Colts second-round pick LB C.J. Allen is expected to be a centerpiece of the linebacker corps right away. 'Great person. All about football. Ran 4.4. Tough,' according to a team source.
| Footballguys view: No surprise here. Allen is a very talented rookie who can play sideline-to-sideline football. He could've been a first-round pick, but the Colts were able to add Allen at no.53 overall. |
Tennessee Titans DL Ali Gaye, DE Nate Lynn, DT Isaiah Raikes, LB Cam Riley, C Clay Webb and RB Blake Watson were waived Thursday, April 30.

Link to storyFree-agent DE Eric Johnson (Colts) agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Minnesota Vikings Wednesday, April 29. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Link to storyGeorge Pickens has signed the franchise tag, a source told ESPN.com's Todd Archer.
| Footballguys view: While there was a delay, we were told this would happen last week, it's done now. Pickens will make a guaranteed $27.3 million this season, and he will report to the mandatory minicamp in June and training camp or be subject to fines. It also opens up the possibility of Pickens being traded, although the Cowboys say that won't happen. Assuming he isn't traded, Pickens' Footballguys projection, WR13, is plenty reasonable considering his WR5 finish last season. |
Free-agent DE Dante Fowler (Cowboys) is a candidate to sign with the Seattle Seahawks this offseason since the Seahawks are looking for help at edge rusher, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Brady Henderson.
