Browns | Deshaun Watson on the inside track Wed Apr 29, 11:47 AM
Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson emerged from voluntary minicamp last week with an edge over QB Shedeur Sanders in the starting quarterback competition, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: One year after calling the trade for Watson a "big swing-and-miss," Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said in March that Watson has a "great chance" and a "fresh start" with offensive-minded first-year coach Todd Monken. According to Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot, Monken hopes to declare -- or at least identify -- his starter by the end of Browns minicamp (June 11). Shedeur Sanders has time to close the gap with a former three-time Pro Bowler. But as things stand now, Watson is the most likely candidate to be atop the depth chart heading into training camp. |

Broncos | Bo Nix on schedule after ankle check-in Wed Apr 29, 12:30 AM
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix had a follow-up, cleanup procedure on his fractured right ankle last week. The 26-year-old broke it in the Broncos' divisional-round victory over Buffalo, and is 'firmly on track to be ready for the start of training camp,' according to the report.
| Footballguys view: Nix fractured his right ankle near the end of the Broncos' divisional round playoff victory over the Bills. Before his Jan. 20 surgery, Nix called his injury a "simple fracture" that would require only a 4-6 week recovery. He did not mention a necessary follow-up procedure, and team owner Greg Penner said in March that the Broncos were confident Nix would participate in organized team activities as the quarterback was ahead of schedule in his rehab. Now, the timeline is training camp as the Broncos will be "conservative" with his participation in the offseason program. We'll be watching for more. |
Jets | Russell Wilson in for visit with NYJ Tue Apr 28, 04:29 PM
Free-agent QB Russell Wilson (Giants) was hosted for a visit by the New York Jets and is reportedly being considered as an option to be Geno Smith's backup, according to The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt on Tuesday, April 28.
| Footballguys view: As the Jets sorted through potential backup options -- which also included Carson Wentz at one point -- GM Darren Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn discussed potential options with Smith. Per Rosenblatt's source, Smith mentioned that he enjoyed working with Wilson when they were with the Seahawks in 2020-21, when Smith backed up Wilson. We'll watch for more. |

Ravens | Diego Pavia signs deal with Baltimore Tue Apr 28, 02:18 PM
Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia is signing a three-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens on Tuesday, April 28. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: As reported here on Monday, Pavia was previously invited to participate in the Ravens' rookie minicamp on a tryout basis. The Ravens also agreed to sign UDFA quarterback Joe Fagnano out of UConn earlier on Tuesday. That gives the club a pair of young QBs behind starter Lamar Jackson and backup Tyler Huntley. |
Steelers | Aaron Rodgers tagged with rare tender Tue Apr 28, 10:46 AM
Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Steelers) received a right-of-first-refusal tender Tuesday, April 28, which means he can accept a 10% raise off last year's salary, which would pay him about $15 million this season. It also means the Steelers can match any offer he signs with another team, and forbidding him the ability to sign with another team once training camp begins.
| Footballguys view: Rodgers, who spent the 2025 season with the Steelers after a prolonged offseason courtship, has been weighing his options for the upcoming season over the past three months. GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy indicated last week that there isn't a timeline or a deadline to hear from the 42-year-old quarterback. The Steelers selected QB Drew Allar in the third round of the NFL draft, but McCarthy said the move was unrelated to Rodgers' decision. But today's move is directly related. Essentially, Rodgers is locked in with the Steelers for when he decides if he wants to play. |

Rams | Ty Simpson had private meetings with Sean McVay Tue Apr 28, 10:41 AM
Los Angeles Rams first-round pick QB Ty Simpson said he had private meetings with head coach Sean McVay before they selected him in the first round of the NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: "They wanted to make it private and didn't want people to know that they were interested," Simpson said Monday via ESPN's Sarah Barshop. "I was trying to be on script and do what everybody told me and not to tell anybody." Telling the QB not to say anything about meeting with McVay makes sense. It also adds further context to McVay's body language immediately after the pick, which made it seem as if the coach wasn't on board with selecting Simpson 13th overall. All of this looks increasingly like an effort to be respectful of current starter Matthew Stafford. |
Steelers | Former coach thinks Aaron Rodgers returns Mon Apr 27, 09:14 AM
Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Steelers) returning to the Pittsburgh Steelers is the most-likely scenario, according to former head coach Mike Tomlin.
| Footballguys view: If Rodgers plays, it will presumably be for the Steelers. For now, there's been no public announcement about his future. While recent reporting suggested Rodgers would have a decision before last week's NFL Draft, that obviously wasn't the case -- at least not one for public consumption. That said, believing the Steelers have a better understanding of the veteran QB's plan than they're letting on isn't a reach. Meanwhile, the Steelers made it clear that the decision to use a third-round pick on former Penn State quarterback Drew Allar has no bearing on Rodgers. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Ravens | Heisman finalist Diego Pavia invited to minicamp Mon Apr 27, 12:03 AM
Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia, who was not selected in the 2026 NFL Draft, accepted an invitation to next weekend's rookie minicamp with the Baltimore Ravens, according to a source on Sunday, April 26. He is the first Heisman finalist since 2014 to go unpicked in the NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: Pavia went undrafted and did not receive a contract as a rookie free agent on the open market. As Proofootballtlk.com noted, Pavia has a history of creating controversy, which likely contributed to him going undrafted over the weekend. But he was also a Heisman Trophy finalist in 2025, and a four-year starter across two programs. In his Pre-Draft 100, Footballguy Sigmund Bloom notes that Pavia's competitive nature and athleticism could open the door to a variation on Taysom Hill as a way to contribute in the NFL. |

Link to story Panthers | Haynes King lands deal with Carolina Sun Apr 26, 05:24 PM
Georgia Tech QB Haynes King is signing an undrafted free agent deal with the Carolina Panthers, and he will receive $250,000 guaranteed money, a source said Saturday, April 25.
| Footballguys view: King is only able to make rudimentary reads with consistency, but he has the size (6'2" 212) and overall athleticism (including a 4.46 40 and 6.89 three cone) to be a strong running threat, or potential wide receiver convert if he can't cut it at quarterback. The big bonus is a sign that the Panthers like Haynes, and he only has to overcome Kenny Pickett to back up Bryce Young. Superflex dynasty league players should take note. |
Buccaneers | Jalon Daniels headed for Tampa Bay Sun Apr 26, 05:24 PM
University of Kansas QB Jalon Daniels is signing an undrafted free agent contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he is expected to receive a $247,000 base salary guarantee and $25,000 signing bonus, a source said Saturday, April 25.
| Footballguys view: Daniels is on the short side at 6'0" and he has been an inconsistent turnover machine, but he does have a great arm and the running ability to be a dual threat quarterback, which matters a lot in fantasy football. Jake Browning is the Bucs current backup quarterback, so Daniels doesn't have to be that good to win the backup job. He could be on a similar career path to Tyrod Taylor or Josh Johnson. |
