Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. and QB Trevor Lawrence have been putting in extra reps this offseason to improve their chemistry.

Miami Dolphins fifth-round draft choice TE Seydou Traore signed a four-year contract with the Dolphins Thursday, June 4. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: In dynasty formats we are monitoring Traore because of his "F" skill set. He's a receiving tight end who can work in the middle of the field effectively. A member of the NFL's International Pathway Program, Traore is a former goalkeeper and has soft hands as a receiver. Traore has plenty of work to do in terms of development, but he's an intriguing prospect. |
Dallas Cowboys CB DaRon Bland (foot) is expected to be ready for training camp.
Link to storyFree-agent C Trystan Colon (Lions) and free-agent CB Dane Jackson (Bills) signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars Thursday, June 4. CB Keith Taylor (undisclosed) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list, and OG Sal Wormley was waived.

Link to storyLos Angeles Chargers first-round draft choice DE Akheem Mesidor agreed to terms on a four-year contract with the Chargers Thursday, June 4, worth $20,456,392. The deal also includes a fifth-year option.
Link to storyDallas Cowboys WR George Pickens was not present for the voluntary workout Thursday, June 4, but is expected to take part in the mandatory minicamp next week, according to NFL Network's Jane Slater.
| Footballguys view: The workouts are voluntary, so we're not too concerned. When the work becomes mandatory next week, Pickens should be in attendance. Pickens already signed his franchise tag earlier this year, so he's fully guaranteed $27.3 MM for the 2026 season. We'll see if a long-term contract can be worked out before the start of the regular season. |

Miami Dolphins OG Jamaree Salyer (undisclosed) was carted off the field after suffering an undisclosed practice during practice Wednesday, June 3, but is not expected to miss extended time. He did not practice Thursday, June 4, and could also sit out next week.

Houston Texans Keylan Rutledge agreed to his rookie contract with the team on a four-year, $19.276 million deal with a $10.479 million signing bonus and a fifth-year club option on Thursday, June 4.
Link to storyLos Angeles Rams C Chad Lindberg and DL Eddie Walls III were placed on injured reserve on Thursday, June 4.
Link to storyDenver Broncos QB Bo Nix was seen on the sideline at the team's OTAs on Thursday, June 4. Nix is working his way back from a broken ankle suffered in January.
| Footballguys view: There are some who think we could see Nix out there at mandatory minicamp in just a couple of weeks. Nix injured his ankle in the Divisional Round win over the Bills, and he had to have a cleanup second surgery after it was initially repaired. So long as Nix is out there in training camp, the Broncos have no worries at the quarterback position. Nix with Jaylen Waddle could be quite fun for Broncos fans...and Fantasy GMs... in 2026. |
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Darnell Washington reportedly agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $42 million to remain with the team on Wednesday, June 3.
| Footballguys view: The third-round pick (2023) out of Georgia is a devastating blocker, and he's an integral part of what the Steelers can do on offense. As a receiver, Washington's output has been limited (57 catches, 625 yards and two touchdowns in three seasons) because he's relied on to be a blocker. Thus, Washington's fantasy value is much lower than his 'real football' value to the Steelers. |

Miami Dolphins WR Tutu Atwell 'appears to be more than just a deep-ball threat' based on his performance at minicamp, according to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Atwell can fly down the field, so he could be a deep-ball threat for the Dolphins in 2026. What would more entail for the Dolphins no.3 receiver? It's unlikely that Atwell provides more than 'what the heck' flex value from a fantasy perspective, and that's only in deeper leagues. |

Miami Dolphins QB Malik Willis delivered some 'highlight' throws and displayed his arm strength during minicamp Wednesday, June 3.
| Footballguys view: It's OTAs, so these things are going to happen but it's a good sign at least. We're listening for offseason 'drumbeats' and if you keep hearing Willis 'flashes' at OTAs, mandatory minicamp, training camp, and into the preseason then you'll know he's impressing with his new team. We're excited about Willis this year even though the Dolphins are unlikely to push for the playoffs in 2026. He's a mid-to-low-range QB2 with upside for Fantasy GMs. |
Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze said he is '100% confident' in his ability to become the No. 1 wide receiver for the Bears in 2026.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs should be excited about what the Bears' passing game can look like in 2026 with Odunze as the no.1 receiver. His fantasy value is that of a low-end WR2/high-end WR3, but the upside is there for Odunze to produce at a higher rate if things click. |
Los Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert said he has been working on overhauling his footwork under the guidance of offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel. 'Mechanically, it's a little different timing, he wants the ball out early,' Herbert said. 'We feel like that is going to help us get the ball out quicker.'
| Footballguys view: Have we seen the best of Herbert? I think we can all say that answer is no. Does McDaniel get the best from Herbert this year? That's a possibility, and it will be fun to watch if that happens. He's one of the most naturally talented passers in the NFL, and now Herbert gets to run a potentially dynamic system. Stay tuned. |

Free-agent QB Russell Wilson (Giants) announced his retirement from professional football Wednesday, June 3.
| Footballguys view: Wilson is going to be an analyst with CBS, so his retirement comes as no surprise. A former Super Bowl champion (2012) with the Seahawks, Wilson will always be remembered for having one of the prettiest 'moon balls' in NFL history (him or Jeff Blake). With a championship and 10 Pro Bowl nods, the next stop of Wilson is the Pro Football Hall of Fame - although many debate his qualifications for the ultimate honor. |

San Francisco 49ers QB Mac Jones (undisclosed) did not throw during the voluntary workout Wednesday, June 3, because of soreness but said he will be ready for training camp.
| Footballguys view: Let's just put a pin in this. Jones is there to be a quality reserve behind Brock Purdy, and the team is not going to skip a beat if he's forced to play. We should see him out there later in the summer. |

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (Achilles) said that his recovery is on schedule and there is a chance that he will be ready for Week 1. He was able to do some running on the side during the voluntary workout Wednesday, June 3.
| Footballguys view: Kittle seems to be on the right track. When training camp begins, Kittle may not be on the PUP list, so even if he's not around for Week 1 it may not be long before he's out there for regular season action. An early return in the first month of the season seems likely with Week 1 as the initial target. |

Free agent LB Chandler Martin (Ravens) is signing with the Philadelphia Eagles on Thursday, June 4.
Link to storyFree agent TE Robert Tonyan (Chiefs) and LB Jamin Davis (Raiders) signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday, June 4. No terms of the deal were disclosed.
| Footballguys view: It seems incredulous to remember that Tonyan had an 11 touchdown season with the Packers back in 2020. After one target over the last two seasons (with two different teams), it's safe to say Tonyan's best days are behind him. |

Link to storyDetroit Lions WR Kendrick Law (knee) suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and will miss the entire 2026 season.
Link to storyChicago Bears WR Rome Odunze (foot) said he's adjusting to a new normal with his foot. 'It's not from a standpoint that I'm like always in pain, but the way my foot broke, there's calluses in there that creates a different type of foot structure with those bones -- different things that kind of shifts things around,' Odunze said Wednesday, via Jay Cohen of the Associated Press. 'So my new normal was kind of what I am going into. And I don't think that's anything that's going to prohibit me or keep me from making plays.'

Link to storyUpdating a previous report, New York Jets WR Da'Quan Felton (undisclosed) was released Wednesday, June 3, with an injury designation.
Link to storyJacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten said he is looking to improve his pass protection and receiving skills this offseason. Tuten also hopes to improve his field vision.
| Footballguys view: After being drafted in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, strong performances in training camp and the preseason catapulted Tuten to RB2, behind Travis Etienne. With Etienne's departure, Tuten is primed to have a breakout year, even if head coach Liam Coen favors more of a rotation at running back, with both Tuten and Chris Rodriguez Jr. taking regular snaps. Still, the more Tuten can do to stay on the field, the better his chances of handling a lead role become. The Jaguars' backfield will be one to watch closely this summer. |
Miami Dolphins first-round draft choice OG Kadyn Proctor signed a four-year contract with the Dolphins Wednesday, June 3. Financial terms were not disclosed but the deal includes a fifth-year option.
Link to storyNew York Jets WR Da'Quan Felton was waived Wednesday, June 3.
Link to storyIndianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce (ankle) is making progress in his recovery from ankle surgery and is still on track to be ready for training camp, according to head coach Shane Steichen.
| Footballguys view: During GM Chris Ballard's pre-draft press conference, he mentioned that Pierce underwent offseason surgery on a lingering ankle injury, but added he should be back on the field for training camp. Steichen confirmed that "as of right now," that's still the case. Pierce, who's led the NFL in yards per catch the last two seasons, has become a well-rounded wideout, able to attack different levels of the field in a variety of ways. With Michael Pittman Jr. traded to the Steelers, Pierce is set to serve as the team's top downfield weapon. He's being drafted as WR33. |
