Lions | Malik Davis worked out Fri Jul 18, 05:44 PM
Free-agent RB Malik Davis (Cowboys) recently worked out for the Detroit Lions.
| Footballguys view: The Lions have spent all day shuffling around some running back depth pieces after releasing Anthony Tyus and signing Jabari Small. It will, unfortunately, be tough for any running back to find meaningful work behind the duo of Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery, but an injury could open the door for more touches. |

Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (knee) was placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Friday, July 18.
| Footballguys view: Matt LeFleur has signalled that Watson's likelihood of playing this year is slim after suffering an ACL tear in Week 18. There should be no surprise that he's on the PUP list. And any playing time this year would be a bit unexpected. |

Bears | Luther Burden under contract Fri Jul 18, 04:44 PM
Chicago Bears second-round draft choice WR Luther Burden III agreed to terms on a four-year contract with the Bears Friday, July 18, worth a fully guaranteed $10.965 million.
| Footballguys view: Burden is the last of the Bears' rookies to sign, garnering a fully guaranteed rookie deal. All eyes will be on the camp battle for the slot role in this new Ben Johnson offense. And Burden's college usage and skill set could set him up for that immediately prolific role. |
Dolphins | MIA, Jonah Savaiinaea agree to deal Fri Jul 18, 04:39 PM
Miami Dolphins second-round draft choice OG Jonah Savaiinaea agreed to terms on a four-year contract with the Dolphins Friday, July 18, according to sources. Financial terms were not disclosed, but the contract is fully guaranteed.

49ers | Ricky Pearsall to miss start of camp Fri Jul 18, 04:33 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (undisclosed) was placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Friday, July 18.
| Footballguys view: Pearsall picked up a hamstring injury about a month ago at minicamp. After missing the end of training camp last year, he'll hope to rejoin the team for a full camp this preseason. Like Aiyuk, he can be activated from the preseason PUP list at any time. He'll hope to get out there sooner rather than later, especially while Jauan Jennings is expected to miss practice after asking for a trade. |
49ers | Brandon Aiyuk placed on PUP list Fri Jul 18, 04:32 PM
San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk (knee) was placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Friday, July 18.
| Footballguys view: After suffering a Week 7 ACL tear last year, Aiyuk's early-season games are in jeopardy. However, it is worth noting that players can be activated at any time off the preseason PUP list. We'll keep a close eye on his activity in camp, but those drafting him now should brace for a backup option during the early part of the year. |

Chargers | Coach excited about Omarion Hampton Fri Jul 18, 04:18 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Omarion Hampton has looked good during offseason workouts, and head coach Jim Harbaugh said he expects Hampton to be even more impressive during padded practices.
| Footballguys view: With Najee Harris dealing with a superficial eye injury from a Fourth of July accident, Hampton will have an opportunity to get extra reps throughout camp. Both Harris and Hampton are new to this offense, so neither should theoretically have a leg up on the other. Expect Hampton's stock to rise throughout camp every day that Harris isn't out there. |
Patriots | Drake Maye reports early Fri Jul 18, 01:36 PM
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye has reported early for the start of training camp.
| Footballguys view: Only rookies are currently required to be at camp. But with a handful of offensive rookies looking to carve out immediate roles, Maye is getting a head start on building chemistry as he enters a new offense in Year 2. |
Seahawks | Nick Emmanwori agrees to deal Fri Jul 18, 01:25 PM
Seattle Seahawks second-round draft choice S Nick Emmanwori agreed to terms on a four-year contract with the Seahawks Thursday, July 17. Financial terms were not disclosed, but his contract is fully guaranteed.

Buffalo Bills second-round draft choice DT T.J. Sanders signed a four-year contract with the Bills Friday, July 18. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Link to story Seahawks | Elijah Arroyo signs contract Fri Jul 18, 01:08 PM
Seattle Seahawks second-round draft choice TE Elijah Arroyo signed a four-year contract with the Seahawks Friday, July 18, worth $8.813 million.
| Footballguys view: NFL teams are prioritizing getting these Round 2 rookies inked before training camp opens. Arroyo carved out a lucrative role in Miami's offense last year, consistently gashing defenses up the seam. He's got some veterans ahead of him at the moment, but he makes for a fun dynasty stash with immense upside. |
Jets | Mason Taylor inked Fri Jul 18, 11:27 AM
New York Jets second-round pick TE Mason Taylor agreed to a four-year deal worth $10.46 million deal with 91.3% of deal guaranteed ($9.56 million), according to his agents. He receives 60% of his Year 4 salary guaranteed, which is a 55% increase from the No. 42 slot from last year.
| Footballguys view: Round 2 rookies aren't getting the fully guaranteed precedent set by Jayden Higgins, but they're getting more guaranteed money than previous draft classes. Taylor will have a unique opportunity to step up as the No. 2 option behind Garrett Wilson this year. While the Jets might choose to take the air out of the ball and slow the clock, he's worth throwing a late-round dart on. |
Browns | Quinshon Judkins won't report Fri Jul 18, 10:57 AM
Cleveland Browns second-round draft pick RB Quinshon Judkins remains unsigned and won't report to rookie camp Friday, July 18. He is focused on his legal matter at the time.
| Footballguys view: Every day Judkins, a rookie, misses camp will open up opportunities for other running backs to carve out a larger role. Jerome Ford knows the offense well, but fellow rookie Dylan Sampson will likely get more looks at the start of camp than he would have behind Judkins. We're keeping a close eye on a potential suspension for Judkins. But for now, he's a tough player to select in drafts, especially if he ends up with a hefty suspension. |
Lions | Detroit inks Tate Ratledge to deal Thu Jul 17, 10:37 PM
Detroit Lions OG Tate Ratledge agreed to terms on his rookie contract Thursday, July 17, according to multiple sources.

Raiders | Jack Bech under contract Thu Jul 17, 10:31 PM
Las Vegas Raiders WR Jack Bech agreed to terms on his rookie contract Thursday, July 17, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: More dominoes continue to fall as second-rounders sign contracts. Bech has an overlapping skill set with Jakobi Meyers, potentially capping his rookie-season usage. But he's a talented player worth stashing in dynasty, and could be an injury away from a bigger-than-expected role this year. |
Lions | Jabari Small to work out Thu Jul 17, 06:54 PM
Free-agent RB Jabari Small (Titans) is scheduled to work out for the Detroit Lions Friday, July 18, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Following the release of Anthony Tyus, the Lions will bring Small into camp as a potential depth piece in a top-heavy backfield. |
Lions | Sam LaPorta able to find end zone Thu Jul 17, 06:34 PM
Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta has caught 17 touchdown passes during his first two seasons in the NFL, which is the most by a Lions player during that span.
| Footballguys view: LaPorta's usage has been that of a middling TE1, but a blistering touchdown rate has kept him high in end-of-season finishes. There's an argument to be made for his regression, but his strong presence in the end zone could keep up his pace in a high-powered Lions' offense. |

Lions | Anthony Tyus waived Thu Jul 17, 04:34 PM
Correcting a previous report, Detroit Lions RB Anthony Tyus III (illness) was waived Thursday, July 17, with a Non-Football Illness designation.
| Footballguys view: With Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery atop the pecking order and a trusted veteran in Craig Reynolds behind the duo, Tyus was going to have an uphill battle to relevance. He'll hope to find another team that'll bring him in for camp with a better chance of making the roster. |

Pittsburgh Steelers LB T.J. Watt agreed to terms on a three-year contract extension with the Steelers Thursday, July 17, worth $123 million, according to sources. The deal includes $108 million in guaranteed money.
| Footballguys view: Watt becomes the highest-paid non-quarterback in NFL history, just in time to return to camp as a cornerstone defensive weapon. |

Chargers | Tre Harris agrees to rookie deal Thu Jul 17, 04:15 PM
Los Angeles Chargers second-round draft choice WR Tre Harris agreed to terms on a four-year contract with the Chargers Thursday, July 17, according to sources. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Following the announcement of Mike Williams' retirement, Harris will likely step in as the team's starting X receiver. His usage was limited last year at Ole Miss. But the opportunity will be his for the taking, and we'll keep a close eye on his usage and reports throughout training camp. |

Titans | Tyrion Davis-Price let go Thu Jul 17, 03:59 PM
Tennessee Titans RB Tyrion Davis-Price was waived Thursday, July 17.
| Footballguys view: Tyrion Davis-Price generated some preseason buzz during his rookie campaign. But he's totalled just nine touches over the last two years with the 49ers and Eagles. He's likely destined to bounce around practice squads for the next few years. |
Broncos | RJ Harvey reaches agreement on deal Thu Jul 17, 02:09 PM
Denver Broncos second-round draft choice RB RJ Harvey agreed to terms on a four-year contract with the Broncos Thursday, July 17, according to a source. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Harvey was the team's second-round pick in the 2025 NFL draft, and he's there to be a big part of the offense. How large of a role will depend on his pass protection ability. With JK Dobbins on the roster, the Broncos will likely use both in an RBBC. Harvey could emerge as the primary back, but we'll need more information from camp and the preseason. Both are flex options for Fantasy GMs at this time. |
Chiefs | Suspension likely for Rashee Rice Thu Jul 17, 02:08 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice is expected to receive a multi-game suspension after pleading guilty to two felony charges.
| Footballguys view: With the legal process done, the NFL can now make moves to decide on a suspension for Rice. The length is unknown at this time, and the timing of the suspension will be something to monitor as well. Fantasy GMs are excited about Rice coming back this year after an injury-shortened 2024. Rice caught 24 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns before going down with a knee injury in Week 4. His current ADP of WR17 may take a bit of a fall with this news. |

Link to story Chargers | Mike Williams set to retire Thu Jul 17, 01:37 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Mike Williams has informed the team that he is retiring from professional football, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Williams came back to the Chargers this offseason with the idea that he could catch some deep passes on the outside. Now, the team is going to be looking elsewhere with Williams hanging up his cleats. Guys like rookie WRs Tre Harris and KeAndre Lambert-Smith get more of an opportunity with Williams retiring. This also helps the opportunity and potential fantasy value for Quentin Johnston, the Chargers no.2 receiver (with Ladd McConkey being their primary target). |

Colts | Anthony Richardson on track for camp Thu Jul 17, 01:35 PM
Indianapolis Colts QB Anthony Richardson (shoulder) is believed to have recovered from his shoulder injury but may still be limited during the early part of training camp, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Good news for Richardson as he's set to battle Daniel Jones for the starting job. Richardson has athletic talent and arm strength, but he struggles to stay healthy and thus has lacked the time to hone his talent as a passer. Jones is now there to win the job if Richardson struggles or gets banged up. |

Link to story Chargers | Najee Harris officially on NFI list Thu Jul 17, 01:20 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB Najee Harris (eye) was placed on the Active/Non-Football Injury list Thursday, July 17.
| Footballguys view: Harris, injured in a 4th of July accident, can be activated at any time. The injury was thought to be superficial, but missing time in camp says it might be a bit more serious. In the meantime, 2025 first-round pick Omarion Hampton - who has 'stud' running back written all over him - gets the bulk of the first-team work. While Harris and Hampton were thought to be in a timeshare, this injury could open the door for Hampton to take over as the lead back. |

Vikings | Jordan Addison to plead guilty Thu Jul 17, 01:11 PM
Minnesota Vikings WR Jordan Addison will plead guilty to a lesser charge after initially being charged with driving under the influence.
| Footballguys view: Fines and probation are coming up for Addison with this lesser sentence. Now, the NFL can step in and decide on further disciplinary action. A suspension in 2025 is now possible for Addison. His current ADP of WR36 could drop a bit with this news. |

Commanders | Luke McCaffrey making strides Thu Jul 17, 02:18 AM
Washington Commanders WR Luke McCaffrey showed 'an improved understanding of the playbook and improved confidence' during offseason practices, in the opinion of The Athletic's Mike Jones, who writes that McCaffrey should 'carve out a meaningful role in 2025.'
| Footballguys view: Let's put a pin in this, and dynasty GMs need to certainly take note. McCaffrey is an athletic technician who knows how to get open, but he had a disappointing rookie season. The Commanders need some young talent to elevate as QB Jayden Daniels continues to grow in the NFL. McCaffrey is buried on the depth chart at this time, and we'll see if these strides taken help him earn more playing time. |
Commanders | One-year deal for Von Miller Thu Jul 17, 02:03 AM
Updating an earlier report, the Washington Commanders are signing free-agent LB Von Miller (Bills) to a one-year contract, though the two sides are still finalizing the terms, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Steelers | Kaleb Johnson an ideal fit in Pittsburgh Thu Jul 17, 01:19 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Kaleb Johnson is an 'ideal scheme fit' for the wide-zone runs favored by offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, in the opinion of The Athletic's Mike DeFabo, who adds that the rookie's 'patient running style' and 'bruising body type' give Johnson an 'excellent chance' to become the Steelers' 'feature back of the future' as the season plays out.
| Footballguys view: Johnson is an absolute hammer, and he wins with strength, decisiveness, and a hard-charging style that makes you think old-school Steelers football. In a wide-zone system, Johnson will be able to take advantage of defenders who get out of position. With his powerful stride and lateral agility, Johnson could be quite productive as a rookie. He's going to work as co-starters with Jaylen Warren in 2025. |
49ers | Jacob Cowing set for larger role? Thu Jul 17, 12:46 AM
San Francisco 49ers WR Jacob Cowing might 'carve out an important role' during training camp, per Vic Tafur of The Athletic, who writes that the team likes his 'toughness, speed, and nose for yards after catch.' Tafur adds that Cowing could inherit 'a lot' of the gadget plays that current Washington Commanders WR Deebo Samuel got during his time with the 49ers.
| Footballguys view: There has been a consistent drumbeat here. Nobody with the 49ers has taken advantage of the offseason like Cowing, according to reports. He's worked on his speed out of breaks, and Cowing has added weight to his frame. In deeper leagues, we like taking Cowing as a late-round flier pick with upside. |
Patriots | Stefon Diggs eyeing Week 1 Thu Jul 17, 12:46 AM
New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs (knee) is 'trending' towards playing in Week 1, according to Albert Breer of SI.com.
| Footballguys view: Diggs suffered a torn ACL in Week 8 last year, but it looks like he could be ready for the season opener. The Patriots signed him to a big deal this offseason with the idea he could be a no.1 receiver for second-year QB Drake Maye. Expect the team to ramp Diggs up as the season goes on as he truly may not look like himself until the halfway point. From a fantasy perspective, Diggs is a 'what the heck' flex option with flex appeal (WR3) if he is healthy and plays up to his potential. |
