Link to storyThe Dolphins and Pro Bowl RB De'Von Achane have agreed to a four-year extension worth $68 million, making him the NFL's third-highest-paid running back at $17 million per year with $32 million guaranteed, multiple sources told NFL insider Jordan Schultz.
| Footballguys view: GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and coach Jeff Hafley have insisted that Achane is a building block for the future. This investment proves it. Expect the team to continue relying on Achane to handle the same high-volume role the previous regime did. The 2023 third-round pick has scored either 11 or 12 touchdowns in each of his three seasons. He posted a career-high 1,838 scrimmage yards in 2025. Achane has also finished in the top five among backs in targets and receiving yards in each of the past two years, and his Footballguys RB6 projection reflects all of that. |
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane reportedly agreed to terms on a four-year contract extension worth $68 million - including $32 million guaranteed - to remain with the team on Wednesday, May 13.

Link to storyGiants WR Malik Nabers underwent a second surgery on his knee to remove scar tissue that was causing stiffness, sources tell the Athletic's Dan Duggan.
| Footballguys view: Duggan is told the second surgery took place "multiple weeks ago," and it was described as a "clean up." This second surgery isn't expected to impact Nabers' recovery timeline. The team is still hoping the No. 1 WR will be ready for the opener. Fantasy managers, who are drafting him as WR8, seem to share in the Giants' optimism. Nabers first underwent ACL and meniscus surgery on Oct. 28. |

Link to storyPittsburgh Steelers K Chris Boswell signed his four-year contract extension with the team on Wednesday, May 13, worth $28 million.
| Footballguys view: As previously reported here, the annual average of Boswell's new deal -- $6.22 million -- ranks fourth among league kickers. Brandon Aubrey of the Dallas Cowboys, who signed a four-year, $28 million deal last month, has the highest annual average. Boswell ranks fifth in NFL history in field goal accuracy at 87.7 percent. He is the only kicker with more than 10 career playoff attempts to convert every one, going 19 for 19. Boswell's Footballguys projection -- PK11 -- puts him in the starting tier. |

New England Patriots seventh-round pick DE Quintayvious Hutchins was arraigned Wednesday, May 13, in Newton District Court on charges of assault and battery on a family/household member, per court documents. Hutchins pleaded not guilty and was released on personal recognizance.
Link to storyPittsburgh Steelers third-round pick QB Drew Allar is having everything he has learned 'uninstalled,' and the Steelers are teaching him new mechanics and footwork. Head coach Mike McCarthy and quarterbacks coach Tom Arth are working on widening Allar's base and keeping him off of his toes, which they believe will give him more time to process information for quicker decisions.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com's Brooke Pryor notes, at 6-5 with a wide arm span and nearly 10-inch hands, Allar possesses the raw traits McCarthy looks for in his West Coast-style quarterbacks. And as a three-year starter at Penn State with 61 career touchdowns and 7,402 career passing yards, Allar has the pedigree to be a top-tier signal-caller. Still, Allar's mechanics need work to make him a more consistent player. The real question here, of course, is whether Aaron Rodgers will show up and be the starter this year, or if the Steelers need to work on Allar and their other options. |
Monday was the first team workout for the Cowboys since Pickens signed the one-year, $27.3 million deal, and Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that Pickens was not present.
| Footballguys view: Pickens signed his franchise tag on April 29, and executive vice president Stephen Jones said soon after that the team expected Pickens to show up for voluntary work. Nothing is mandatory until June 16, so he can stay away until then without being fined. The Cowboys announced they will not negotiate a long-term deal with Pickens this offseason, and Jones has repeatedly said the team has "zero interest" in trading Pickens. The Cowboys traded for Pickens a year ago, and he led the team in targets (137), catches (93), yards (1,429), and touchdowns (eight) in 2025. |
The uncertainty of Michael Penix's return from a torn ACL led the Falcons to sign veteran Tua Tagovailoa. Penix's rehab seems to have ramped up as he seeks to enter the quarterback competition. Penix is throwing again six months after injuring his left knee in a game against the Panthers.
| Footballguys view: The Falcons posted video of Penix throwing to wide receiver Drake London at the team's facility in Georgia. A team spokesperson told Marc Raimondi of ESPN that Penix is participating in Phase 2 of the Falcons' offseason program, which consists of drills and individual work. Penix, 26, has torn an ACL three times in eight years, twice tearing the ACL in his right knee while in college. He expects to be ready for Week 1, but will that be soon enough to put him in a position to compete with Tua Tagovailoa for the job? Stay tuned. |

Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young had his fifth-year extension picked up, but the Panthers are reportedly talking through an extension and GM Dan Morgan will be in touch with Young's agent, according to an interview on NFL Network on Tuesday, May 12.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers have Young under contract for two more years. ESPN's Dan Graziano noted on Tuesday that the team "doesn't seem in a huge hurry" to work out an extension with the former first overall pick. The hesitancy on Carolina's part stems from the fact that the QB market got absolutely nuked with young quarterbacks signing record-setting deals, and it needs to adjust back. As AtoZSports' Ken Noble suggested, the Panthers are smart by letting the QB market cool back down before paying Young. For our purposes, Young remains a low-end QB2. |

Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett was informed by the team that he is their starting quarterback, despite missing voluntary workouts, according to a source on Tuesday, May 11.
| Footballguys view: Brissett wants a restructured contract for the final season of the two-year deal he signed in March 2025. He finished last season as the top-ranked quarterback from Week 6, when he was given his first start after Kyler Murray was injured, in terms of dropbacks, completions, and attempts. He was second in passing yards and fourth in completion percentage above expected. As Brissett had a career year, he brought along pass catchers Michael Wilson and Trey McBride with him. But the Cardinals went 1-11 in Brissett's 12 starts. It's fair to wonder if he'll get as many attempts this season. |

He totaled 168 yards from scrimmage on 50 touches in 14 career games in Dallas before landing on Denver's practice squad last summer. He did not appear in any games last season. |

Link to storyTampa Bay Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka will reportedly settle in as the 'Z' outside receiver, or flanker, after playing numerous spots as a rookie, according to Buccaneers.com's Scott Smith on Tuesday, May 12.
| Footballguys view: Incoming Bucs offensive coordinator Zac Robinson used to coach Cooper Kupp with the Rams, and he said on Tuesday that Egbuka has a very similar approach and instincts. The coach also confirmed the plan is for Egbuka to settle into the flanker role in the team's base offense, but that his football instincts make it easy to move him around in order to exploit matchups and maximize the production of the passing game this fall. Egbuka, who was WR4 over the first five games last year, is currently being drafted as WR19. |
The Buffalo Bills signed WR Skyler Bell and LB Kaleb Elarms-Orr to four-year rookie contracts. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Link to storyTampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (shoulder) will be limited at the start of OTAs.
| Footballguys view: Irving is recovering from off-season shoulder surgery. According to local reports, the hope is that he'll be fully cleared by training camp. While he has been participating in rehab, team officials are taking a cautious approach to his return to full practice. We'll be watching for more on Irving in coming weeks. In the meantime, free-agent addition Kenneth Gainwell will get more work as the team installs new coordinator Zac Robinson's scheme. |
