Giants | Could Drew Lock start for Giants? Wed May 1, 12:16 PM
New York Giants QB Drew Lock 'has a chance to compete a little bit and maybe push Daniel Jones' in the eyes of the team, NFL Network's Mike Garafolo said Monday, April 29.
| Footballguys view: That is a distinct possibility for the Giants, and it would be interesting to see Lock out there with his new team. He's grown and developed with his time in Seattle, and Lock could look much different than he did as the Broncos' starter. The Giants were interested in quarterbacks this offseason, but they didn't take one in the draft. Instead, it could be Lock who secures the starting job whether Jones is healthy or not (he's working his way back from a torn ACL in November). |

Seahawks | Rashaad Penny could be added Wed May 1, 01:17 AM
Free-agent RB Rashaad Penny (Eagles) recently met with the Seattle Seahawks, and general manager John Schneider said there is a chance that the Seahawks sign Penny.
| Footballguys view: The Seahawks know Penny well as he was their first-round draft pick in the 2018 NFL draft. He was with the Eagles in 2023, but going back to Seattle makes sense for both sides. If added, Penny would give the team veteran depth behind Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet. |

Rams | Boston Scott joining Rams Wed May 1, 01:17 AM
Free-agent RB Boston Scott (Eagles) agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Los Angeles Rams Tuesday, April 30, according to sources. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: The Rams have Kyren Williams as their lead back, and they selected Michigan RB Blake Corum in the third round of the 2024 NFL draft. Scott is a compact scat back who can make plays as a runner or receiver. Plus, he's got special teams value. |

Titans | Treylon Burks impressing HC Wed May 1, 01:17 AM
Tennessee Titans WR Treylon Burks has been impressive during the early part of the offseason program and is learning the new offense, according to head coach Brian Callahan.
| Footballguys view: Burks needs to impress the staff as the former first-round pick (2022) has yet to play up to his potential in the pros. Not only will Burks compete with DeAndre Hopkins for targets, but with the addition of Calvin Ridley that puts Burks as third in the pecking order at the wide receiver position. |
Patriots | New England will have QB competition Wed May 1, 01:17 AM
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye and QB Jacoby Brissett will compete for the starting quarterback job during offseason workouts as well as training camp and the best quarterback will start Week 1, according to head coach Jerod Mayo.
| Footballguys view: Maye was the team's pick at no.3 overall in the 2024 NFL draft, but he may not be ready to start. Brissett is a seasoned veteran with a ton of experience, and he could be the man under center until the rookie is ready. Maye has a strong arm and he can threaten a defense as a runner, but he plays a lot of "hero ball" and will try throws into coverage when it's best to take the easier throw. We'll see how long it takes to get that coached out of him. |

Chiefs | GM Veach: Travis Kelce Isn't Slowing Down Tue Apr 30, 04:28 PM
On Monday, the Kansas City Chiefs made 34-year-old Travis Kelce the highest-paid tight end in the NFL with a new two-year, $34.25 million contract. After announcing the extension on Monday, general manager Brett Veach repeatedly called Kelce an "outlier" and said he doesn't expect to see a production collapse as he ages. "Again, the odds of someone playing this far into their 30s is very low, but it does happen, and it happens with unicorns in the profession, and Travis is one of those," Veach said. "We'll just have to wait and see, but he's shown no signs of slowing down. Everyone notices the kind of postseason he had; he just found an extra gear. These special players are always able to find that extra gear and again if anybody can do it, Travis can."
| Footballguys view: Missing two games in 2023 and dealing with multiple injuries, Kelce snapped a streak of seven campaigns over the 1,000-yard mark with his 984-yard campaign. Even the veteran would admit he wasn't as spry during the regular season. But as NFL.com's Kevin Patra points out, come the postseason run, Kelce was back to his dominant ways. He had 32 catches (a career postseason high) for 355 yards and three touchdowns. As he ran away from 49ers defenders after a crucial catch in the Super Bowl, Kelce looked like he could play for another handful of seasons. In 2024, the key will be balancing Kelce's workload over the course of 17 regular season games to ensure the then 35-year-old is at full force come the playoffs. Again, the hope is that the wide receiver additions of Marquise Brown and rookie Xavier Worthy open things up for Kelce, who can be had a slight discount (over previous years) in current fantasy drafts. |

Jaguars | Zay Jones released Tue Apr 30, 10:35 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Zay Jones was released Tuesday, April 30. The move saves around $4 million on the salary cap.
| Footballguys view: This outcome isn't a huge surprise. The Jaguars selected Brian Thomas Jr. with the 23rd pick overall in last week's NFL Draft. They also signed former Bills wideout Gabe Davis to a three-year contract in March. Davis and Thomas will be the starters outside, with Christian Kirk in the slot and TE Evan Engram moving around the formation. Jones, was coming off a season in which he missed eight games because of knee injuries. Jones will be looking to find a landing spot with a path to workload. Until he does, fantasy managers should look elsewhere. |

Link to story Chargers | J.K. Dobbins said he is 100 percent Mon Apr 29, 09:39 PM
Los Angeles Chargers RB J.K. Dobbins (Achilles) said he has completely recovered from his torn Achilles tendon.
| Footballguys view: Dobbins will find plenty of familiar faces in the Chargers locker roomh, including former Ravens offensive coordinator Greg Roman and his Baltimore running mate Gus Edwards, who signed with the team last month. A second-round pick out of Ohio State in 2020, Dobbins has totaled 1,347 rushing yards and 12 touchdown runs in 24 games with Baltimore. Dobbins is one of the most explosive backs in the league (as his his 5.8 career yards per carry will attest to) but, availability has been an issue. Over the past three seasons, he's missed 42 of the Ravens' 51 game due to a torn ACL and the Achilles. You'll currently find Dobbins as RB51 on the Footballguys 2024 Draft Rankings; Edwards is RB31. With the veterans ahead of him, sixth-round pick Kimani Vidal projects as a special teams player in his first year. |

Bengals | Tee Higgins looking for lucrative deal Mon Apr 29, 09:28 PM
Cincinnati Bengals WR Tee Higgins is believed be looking for around $23 million per season in his next contract, but the two sides have not negotiated for over a year because the Bengals have never approached $20 million per season during negotiations, according to The Cincinnati Enquirer's Kelsey Conway.
| Footballguys view: Barring an extension, Higgins will make $21.8 million in 2024 on the one-year, fully guaranteed franchise tag. As PFT suggests, that should be the starting point in negotiations. Eighteen receivers make more than $20 million a season. According to Enquirer staffer Kelsey Conway, Higgins wants something in the range of what the Colts gave receiver Michael Pittman, what the Commanders gave Terry McLaurin, and what the 49ers gave Deebo Samuel. All three are slightly over $23 million a year. Higgins, 25, played 12 games last season, missing four games with a fractured rib and then Week 18 with a hamstring issue. He caught 42 passes for 656 yards and five touchdowns, all career lows. From a fantasy perspective, Higgins has been available as a mid-priced WR3, with a WR28 to 31 Average Draft Position, depending on your platform. |

Free-agent WR Michael Gallup (Cowboys) agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Las Vegas Raiders Monday, April 29, worth as much as $3 million, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com notes, Gallup's signing is intriguing in that the Raiders already have a bevy of pass catchers on the roster: Three-time first-team All-Pro receiver Davante Adams, who has at least 100 catches in five of his last six seasons; Jakobi Meyers, who had a career-high eight touchdown catches last season; Tre Tucker, who averaged 17.4 yards per catch as a rookie in 2023; and a trio of pass-catching tight ends in Michael Mayer, who had 27 catches for 304 yards and 2 TDs as a rookie last season, veteran Harrison Bryant, who signed as a free agent in March after catching 89 passes and 10 TDs in four years with the Cleveland Browns, and first-round draft pick Brock Bowers, who caught 175 passes for 2,537 yards and 26 touchdowns in three years at Georgia. The team moved on from Hunter Renfrow this offseason. Gallup's best season came in 2019 when he caught 66 passes for 1,107 yards and six touchdowns. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect similar totals in Vegas this season, with Gallup apparently on board to provide depth. |
