Texans | David Montgomery seen as a 'three-down back' Thu Jun 11, 02:05 PM
Houston Texans RB coach Danny Barrett described RB David Montgomery, saying, 'He's a three-down back. He can do it all.'
| Footballguys view: Montgomery can do it all. The veteran was traded for in early March, and he should be the lead back for the Texans this year. Woody Marks can provide some juice as a reserve runner and receiver out of the backfield. As a lead back for the Texans, we like Montgomery as an RB2/flex option for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Buccaneers | Bucky Irving takes part in OTAs Thu Jun 11, 01:37 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (shoulder) took part in the team's OTA session on Thursday, June 11.
| Footballguys view: He's a player who is coming back from an injury, but Irving is expected to be near full strength for training camp. Irving is a playmaker, but the Buccaneers might use a bit more from Kenneth Gainwell or Sean Tucker in what could be more of an RBBC than Irving's Fantasy GMs want. We see Irving as a low-end RB2/flex option for Fantasy GMs in 2026. |
Seahawks | Week 1 possible for Zach Charbonnet? Thu Jun 11, 11:19 AM
Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) could be ready by Week 1, according to head coach Mike Macdonald, who said 'everything is possible.' Macdonald acknowledged Charbonnet is ahead of schedule.
| Footballguys view: Anything is possible (thanks, Kevin Garnett), but what's likely here with Charbonnet? It's likely that he's going to need some time to get back to himself, even if the veteran back is ready for the start of the regular season. Rookie first-round pick Jadarian Price is impressing this offseason and could do most of the heavy lifting in the Seattle backfield - at least to begin the 2026 season. |

Seahawks | Jadarian Price's role growing? Thu Jun 11, 11:19 AM
Seattle Seahawks RB Jadarian Price has played entire drives with the first-team offense during mandatory minicamp.
| Footballguys view: Price, a 2026 first-round pick, has reportedly been impressing this offseason. He should be considered the leader in the backfield, although we could see George Holani split time with the rookie early in the season. Zach Charbonnet could be ready sooner than possible, but he's coming back from a knee injury suffered in the playoffs. Let's see if Price can continue to separate himself from Holani in minicamp and training camp. |
49ers | Sincere McCormick back with SF Wed Jun 10, 05:28 PM
Free-agent RB Sincere McCormick (49ers) signed a one-year contract with the San Francisco 49ers Wednesday, June 10. Financial terms were not disclosed. The team also waived RB Jordan Mims.
| Footballguys view: The 49ers spent a third-round pick on Kaelon Black this year. They still have Jordan James as well, last year's fifth-rounder. Two years ago, they spent a fourth-round pick on Isaac Guerendo. Still, they are looking for extra depth. McCormick could end up being nothing but a camp body, but his addition could also signal a potential roster cut for one of the young guys, likely Gurendo, who has done little aside from special teams. |

Colts | Jonathan Taylor wants to stay with IND Wed Jun 10, 03:37 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor said he wants to spend his entire career with the Colts. He is entering the final year of his current contract.
| Footballguys view: Most running backs would probably want to spend their career running behind the Colts' line. Going into his age-27 season, Taylor will have a chance to raise his asking price with another strong season. He looked like the best running back in the NFL back in 2021. Since then, injuries and inconsistent play from his team have made his production volatile. But he looked like his old self last year, pushing him back into Round 1 of fantasy drafts. |

Saints | Kendre Miller making progress Wed Jun 10, 02:59 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller (knee) was able to participate in team drills during the voluntary workout Wednesday, June 10.
| Footballguys view: The start of Miller's career has been marred by injuries, and 2025 ended with an ACL tear just as he was stringing together some good outings. After his injury, Devin Neal proved to be a capable back. Then the team signed Travis Etienne Jr. Alvin Kamara is still around as well. Miller would likely need multiple injuries ahead of him to see meaningful playing time at this point. The silver lining, however, is that he was drafted young. He'll likely hit free agency after this season, getting to test the market at 25 years old. |

Jets | Braelon Allen bulks up Wed Jun 10, 02:19 PM
New York Jets RB Braelon Allen said he currently weighs 250 pounds, which is up from the 238 to 240 pounds he was at last season.
| Footballguys view: Allen was drafted just after his 20th birthday and seems to bulk up every offseason. Last season was cut short by injury, but he's still just 22 years old. Breece Hall's extension puts him an injury away from any meaningful workload, but Allen is a great dynasty stash and late-round best ball target. |
Saints | Alvin Kamara expected at minicamp Wed Jun 10, 01:06 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara is not participating in the voluntary workouts this week, but head coach Kellen Moore said Kamara is expected to be at the mandatory minicamp.
| Footballguys view: It's not uncommon for long-term vets to sit out voluntary workouts. If Kamara isn't at mandatory minicamp next week, this will become a story. Until then, nothing to worry about. |

Seahawks | Zach Charbonnet on field 4 months after surgery Tue Jun 9, 09:19 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet (knee) was on the field doing some light knee exercises on Tuesday, June 9, four months after reconstructive knee surgery for a torn ACL.
| Footballguys view: With a surgery date of February 20th, expectations were that Charbonnet would be back late in the season, if at all. If Charbonnet is ahead of schedule, he'll almost surely push for a large workload, just as he did alongside Kenneth Walker. While it's too early to shoot Charbonnet up the rankings, managers expecting a big season from rookie Jadarian Price may be in for a rude awakening. |

Jaguars | Foot injury for Chris Rodriguez Tue Jun 9, 12:30 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (foot) recently underwent a procedure on a foot injury he suffered during the offseason but is expected to be ready for the start of training camp, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today notes, Rodriguez was the lone outside addition made by the Jaguars this offseason during the free agency period. He will be competing with Bhayshul Tuten for the top spot on the Jaguars' running back depth chart, but regardless of who holds the RB1 title, both players will be big factors on offense this season. But Rodriguez will need to recover as expected. We'll be watching for more on that when training camp opens. |
Panthers | CAR expecting Jonathon Brooks to become lead back Tue Jun 9, 12:29 AM
Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks needs to stay healthy, but could potentially become the lead back in Carolina over Chuba Hubbard, in the opinion of Cameron Wolfe of ESPN.com on Monday, June 8.
| Footballguys view: Wolfe identified Brooks as the team's wild-card player. As USA Today's Anthony Rizzuti reminded readers, two ACL tears, both to the same knee, have limited Brooks to only three NFL games since he was selected in the second round of the 2024 draft. But Brooks, over the past few weeks, was able to fully participate in organized team activities for the first time in his career. How Brooks will fit into that backfield with Hubbard and Trevor Etienne will be one of the things to watch as the Panthers head into training camp next month. |

Cardinals | Jeremiyah Love sees work as returner Tue Jun 9, 12:25 AM
Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love has received work as a kick returner during offseason workouts, but special teams coordinator Michael Ghobiel indicated that Love may only be an emergency option for the position.
| Footballguys view: Please note the "an emergency option" portion of that news. The Cardinals didn't use the third pick overall to have Love work as a return man. He's there to be the lead back in Mike LaFleur's offense. Will he share with Tyler Allgeier, James Conner and/or Trey Benson. To some degree. But Love's RB13 ADP isn't out of line and a top-10 fantasy finish this season is in his range of outcomes. |
Chiefs | Emari Demercado "closer to RB2" in KC Tue Jun 9, 12:17 AM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Emari Demercado has consistently been the RB2 behind free-agent acquisition Kenneth Walker III in solo drills and also, 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills in OTAs, according to Charles Goldman of AtoZ Sports on Monday, June 8.
| Footballguys view: Goldman reminded readers that Demercado has been written off a bit because of the addition of Emmett Johnson in the 2026 NFL Draft. However, the coaching staff still appears to be very high on him and his abilities. Things can obviously change throughout the course of an offseason, but Goldman believes that after OTAs it feels like Demercado is closer to RB2 in Kansas City than any other prospect. |
Giants | Cam Skattebo on field Monday Mon Jun 8, 02:08 PM
New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo (ankle) is participating in practice Monday, June 8.
| Footballguys view: Skattebo, who said mid-May that he expects to be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 regular season, is about eight months removed from the dislocated right ankle that limited him to eight games as a rookie. As CBSSports.com suggests, while it doesn't yet appear that the 2025 fourth-round pick has been cleared for full team drills, seeing him move fluidly on the field in individual work is encouraging. We'll continue to watch for more, but Skattebo being fully cleared for the start of training camp is within the range of outcomes here. |
Jaguars | Bhayshul Tuten had made strides Mon Jun 8, 12:14 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten is running better during OTAs this season than he was last year, according to head coach Liam Coen.
| Footballguys view: According to SI.com's John Shipley, Tuten looked like he was picking up steam during OTAs. Coen also said Tuten looks like he is more in tune with the scheme now than as a rookie. With veteran Chris Rodriguez Jr. missing time with an unspecified issue, Tuten could use minicamp to solidify himself in the room further. However, it remains to be seen to what extent. We'll certainly be watching. Tuten is currently being drafted as RB25, a price that accounts for both the upside and the uncertain role. |
Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson focused on growth Mon Jun 8, 12:12 AM
New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson has focused on improving his blocking and receiving during the offseason program.
| Footballguys view: A more well-rounded skill set would give the second-year man a better chance of getting more playing time. Henderson played 43% of the offensive snaps last season, second most on the team behind Rhamondre Stevenson (52.9%), but he's being drafted well ahead of his teammate. Henderson is RB21 according to current ADP data. That spot carries a fourth-round price tag. Stevenson is RB29 with a late-sixth-round cost. The Footballguys projections have the two more tightly packed. Henderson is projected for an RB26 finish, while Stevenson's RB28 projection is closer to his ADP. This is a situation worth watching this summer. |
Eagles | Saquon Barkley to see uptick in receptions? Sun Jun 7, 04:07 PM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley could be in line for more working catching the ball out of the backfield, thanks to the departure of WR A.J. Brown (Patriots). He was targeted just 50 times in 2025, and 43 times in 2024. In his final two seasons with the New York Giants, he had 136 total targets. Offensive coordinator Sean Mannion could look to use Barkley more in pass-catching situations to offset the loss of Brown.

Lions | Jahmyr Gibbs will be leaned upon heavily Sun Jun 7, 01:10 PM
Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs will see a majority of the carries out of the backfield following the trade of RB David Montgomery to the Houston Texans during the offseason. 'He's going to be our bell cow now,' head coach Dan Campbell said. 'We're going to hang our hat on him quite a bit. We're going to do a lot of things we feel like he does well. I've mentioned this before, he can run everything that we've got. He can run every scheme that anybody's ever run.'
| Footballguys view: Gibbs is neck and neck with Bijan Robinson for #1 pick in fantasy drafts. Robinson also saw his running mate and sometimes touchdown vulture Tyler Allgeier leave in the offseason, but Gibbs is in the better offense and is trending towards being the most common 1.1 pick this year. |
Jahmyr Gibbs player page
Falcons | Extension coming for Bijan Robinson? Sat Jun 6, 03:54 PM
Atlanta Falcons RB Bijan Robinson has been talking with the Falcons about a contract extension, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Both Robinson and Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs are set to get new contracts...and they'll both be resetting the market. Speculation abounds that Gibbs could get rewarded with a deal that pays him around $20 million annually. There is no doubt that Robinson will be in that same ballpark once his new deal is finalized. |

Seahawks | Two RBs work with starters Sat Jun 6, 11:05 AM
Seattle Seahawks RB George Holani and Jadarian Price share snaps with the first-team offense during the voluntary workout Wednesday, June 3.
| Footballguys view: With Zach Charbonnet (knee) recovering, and Kenneth Walker in Kansas City, the Seahawks are working out their RBBC. This is a competition that should last through training camp and the preseason. Price, the first-round pick out of Notre Dame, is an exciting prospect with speed and field-flipping ability. However, recent reports suggested he may not be the bell cow right away. Instead, the team may use an RBBC with Holani until Price is ready for a larger workload. Price does have flex appeal as the lead back in this committee, with the upside to be more if/when he takes a larger role. |
Lions | Jahmyr Gibbs not worried about contract Sat Jun 6, 11:05 AM
Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs said he is only focusing on his play and will let his agent handle the contract extensions.
| Footballguys view: Gibbs is the bell cow for the Lions, and he's set to get paid as one of the best running backs in the league. ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Gibbs could sign an extension averaging $20 million annually (or more) this summer. He's not worried about it, and like Thanos, a deal is inevitable. Stay tuned. |

Broncos | Two players worked out Wed Jun 3, 05:31 PM
Free-agent RB Marcus Yarns (Saints) and WR Jalen Moreno-Cropper (Cowboys) will be working out for the Denver Broncos.
Link to story Jaguars | Bhayshul Tuten looking to improve Wed Jun 3, 04:31 PM
Jacksonville 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. |
Dolphins | De'Von Achane to be limited at minicamp Wed Jun 3, 02:24 PM
Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) will only participate in individual drills during the mandatory minicamp this week, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.
| Footballguys view: Achane had cleanup surgery on his shoulder after the season and should be ready for training camp, so going easy on him at this point makes sense. The Dolphins signed Achane to a four-year, $64 million contract extension this month. It's unlikely they would have made that commitment if they weren't confident in his long-term health, so he should be moving full speed ahead soon enough. We'll continue to monitor this situation. |
Browns | More work for Quinshon Judkins Wed Jun 3, 01:12 PM
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (ankle, leg) is participating in team drills during the voluntary workout Wednesday, June 3.
| Footballguys view: Working in full-team drills is a step up from the individual drills Judkins was limited to last month. Judkins dislocated his ankle and fractured his fibula in Week 16 and missed the final two games last season. Judkins had 827 rushing yards and seven touchdowns in 14 games last season. An upgraded offensive line and a new, offensive-minded head coach in Todd Monken could benefit Judkins this season. He's currently being drafted as RB22. |
Saints | Alvin Kamara at workout Wed Jun 3, 01:05 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara is present for the voluntary workout Wednesday, June 3, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: As Profootballtalk.com reminded readers, Kamara's status with the team has been in question this offseason, with general manager Mickey Loomis saying last month that the club is trying to figure out how the running back fits on the roster. But Kamara has maintained he'd like to stick with New Orleans, and his arrival on Wednesday lends credence to that notion. For what it's worth, Kamara was only participating in individual drills during Wednesday's session. We'll continue to monitor, but free-agent addition Travis Etienne Jr. is expected to be the lead back, whether Kamara is on the roster or not. |

Panthers | Jonathon Brooks held out of team drills on Tuesday Tue Jun 2, 05:22 PM
Carolina Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks was reportedly held out of team drills and scrimmage on Tuesday, as the team works to get him back to 100%, according to a source on Tuesday, June 2.
Link to story Eagles | Elijah Mitchell signs with Philadelphia Tue Jun 2, 01:58 PM
Free agent RB Elijah Mitchell (Patriots) signed with the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday, June 2. No terms of the deal were disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Mitchell almost had 1000 yards as a rookie with the 49ers in 2021, but hasn't had a carry in an NFL game since 2023 because of injury issues. Speed is his calling card, and he is a good fit in the zone running game the Eagles are installing, so he could be a veteran practice squad candidate, or even make the team if injuries strike the Eagles backfield in camp or the preseason. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs back at OTAs Tue Jun 2, 01:05 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs was at the team's practice during OTAs on Tuesday, June 2.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs was arrested on May 26 after police responded to an alleged domestic violence incident a few days earlier. He missed practice time as those matters played out, but it does not sound like there will be any limitations on his participation this week. Coach Matt LaFleur told reporters that it is "business as usual" for the veteran back. Prosecutors said last week there has been no decision about formally filing criminal charges against Jacobs. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Titans | Nick Singleton making progress Tue Jun 2, 12:32 AM
Tennessee Titans RB Nick Singleton (foot) is making progress in his recovery from a Jones fracture in his foot, according to head coach Robert Saleh.
| Footballguys view: The Titans took a bit of a risk when they picked Singleton in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. The star running back suffered the injury during Senior Bowl week and was unable to participate in any of the pre-draft workouts. Singleton's return will add another back to what has become a crowded backfield this offseason. The Titans have Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears, Kalel Mullings, and Julius Chestnut returning, and added Singleton and veteran Michael Carter during the offseason in hopes of improving their dismal 30th-ranked rushing attack in 2026. |
Commanders | Jacory Croskey-Merritt sits out Tue Jun 2, 12:31 AM
Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt attended the voluntary workouts last week but did not participate in drills.
| Footballguys view: It's unclear if Croskey-Merritt is dealing with an injury. As CBSSports.com notes, his next opportunity to take part in team drills will arrive during mandatory minicamp June 16-18, and then during training camp in July. Croskey-Merritt suited up for all 17 regular-season games as a rookie, totaling 175 carries for 805 yards and eight touchdowns. He also had nine catches for 68 yards on 13 targets. Free-agent addition Rachaad White will provide Croskey-Merritt with competition for touches, especially in the receiving game. The Commanders have Jerome Ford, Jeremy McNichols, and rookie sixth-rounder Kaytron Allen on the depth chart. |
Colts | Jonathan Taylor skips workout Mon Jun 1, 04:22 PM
Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor did not participate in the voluntary workout Monday, June 1.
| Footballguys view: While nobody seems concerned about this absence, head coach Shane Steichen acknowledged after practice that it's a fair question to debate whether the Colts need to scale back the NFL-leading 323 carries for Taylor from last season. If that's going to happen, and the Colts don't make any other running back moves, those reserve roles will go to some youth on the roster. But both former draft picks D.J. Giddens and Seth McGowan flashed a bit on Monday in Taylor's absence. |

Saints | Alvin Kamara talks have stalled out Mon Jun 1, 12:10 AM
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara and the team have not had 'a lot of traction' on a revised deal that could allow Kamara to return to the Saints in 2026.
| Footballguys view: "The team can also save about $14 million after June 1 on a salary cap," Fowler reported Sunday. Kamara's resume includes an Offensive Rookie of the Year, five Pro Bowl selections, and more than 1,100 yards from scrimmage in eight of his nine seasons. He also led the league in combined receiving and rushing touchdowns in 2020 with 21. Yet he will be 31 years old during the 2026 campaign and is coming off the worst individual season of his career. New Orleans also signed Travis Etienne Jr. to a four-year deal this offseason, which made Kamara's future uncertain. |
Alvin Kamara player page
Titans | Tony Pollard feels he is still trending up Mon Jun 1, 12:09 AM
Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard is one of just two NFL backs to run for at least 1,000 yards in each of the past two seasons, with Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry the other back in that exclusive club. He has played in at least 15 games in each of his seven NFL seasons, as durability has been key. 'The work ethic, everything that I'm doing behind the scenes, it's paying off,' Pollard said, via The Associated Press. 'I slowly feel like throughout my career I've just slowly progressed more and more, and I feel like I'm still trending in that direction.'
| Footballguys view: Pollard actually has four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons -- the last two for Tennessee. He was a Pro Bowler for the Cowboys in 2022, the first of his aforementioned quartet of 1,000-yard campaigns. He had a career-best 1,082 yards on the ground with five touchdowns last season. With Pollard already in place to support quarterback Cam Ward and a Tennessee offense taking on offensive coordinator Brian Daboll's new scheme, sticking with the veteran makes sense. For fantasy investors, the RB31 price makes him a reasonable value. |
Tony Pollard player page
Eagles | Saquon Barkley asking for advice Sun May 31, 03:03 PM
Philadelphia Eagles RB Saquon Barkley reached out to retired RB Todd Gurley for advice on how to make the most of offensive coordinator Sean Mannion's system.
| Footballguys view: Gurley was a teammate of new Eagles offensive coordinator Sean Mannion with the Rams in 2017-2018, and he had two of the best years of his career in the zone running game during the Sean McVay regime. Barkley will be running a lot more outside zone with the quarterback under center, so he is having to revamp his game. Offensive line health is a big question mark along with Barkley's adjustment physically and mentally to a one cut and go style of play, but this season should be a better offensive environment for him after playing in the disaster of an offense run by Kevin Patullo, who was let go in the offseason. |
Saquon Barkley player page
Lions | Jahmyr Gibbs hoping for contract extension Sun May 31, 11:32 AM
Updating a previous report, Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs is eligible for a contract extension but substantial talks have not yet taken place between the two sides, according to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler.

Lions | Huge contract coming for Jahmyr Gibbs? Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs is 'positioned to reset the running back market in a big way,' according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. 'Think $20 million per year or over,' Fowler said.
| Footballguys view: He has earned it, and the Lions should have no hesitation paying it. Because Gibbs and fellow 2023 first round pick Jack Campbell play positions with a lower top of the pay scale, their combined cost per year should come in right after what the Seahawks are paying Jaxon Smith-Njigba on his contract extension. |

Jaguars | Chris Rodriguez Jr. not practicing Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (undisclosed) did not practice and was seen riding a stationary back at practice Tuesday, May 26. Head coach Liam Coen did not comment on the specifics of Rodriguez's injury.
| Footballguys view: Coen did not seem worried, but we would like to know more about the nature of Rodriguez's absence before writing this off as nothing to be concerned about. The free agent signing is expected to be part of a three-headed committee with 2025 fourth round pick Bhayshul Tuten and 2025 seventh round pick LeQuint Allen, with an edge in short yardage and inside running. Tuten and Allen are both impressing his absence, and could make it an uphill climb for Rodriguez to earn more work than expected, but Coen's familiarity with Rodriguez could offset that. |
Giants | Cam Skattebo works in some drills Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo (ankle) 'snuck into' some positional drills during practice Friday, May 29, and appeared to be moving well, according to Art Stapleton of NorthJersey.com.
| Footballguys view: Of the two rookie backs who suffered dislocated ankle/fractured fibula injuries last year, Skattebo is behind Quinshon Judkins - who has been moving surprisingly well already - but still on track to be ready for Week 1. The big question is whether Skattebo will be back his old self this year. Skattebo did suffer ligament damage that Judkins didn't, so he was expected to be behind Judkins. We'll be watching this closely. For now, Tyrone Tracy has some speculative early season upside as Skattebo's backup. |
Broncos | Jonah Coleman may have early role Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
Denver Broncos RB Jonah Coleman could be used as a receiver out of the backfield during his rookie season, in the opinion of BroncosWire's Jon Heath.
| Footballguys view: Coleman is a threat to both JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey's roles, and he could end up being as valuable as Harvey even though there is a 50+ pick gap in their ADPs. Coleman could also be the first man up if Dobbins goes down. This is a big camp for Harvey to prove he deserves a bigger opportunity to prove he was worth the second round pick the Broncos spent on him last year. |
Seahawks | Jadarian Price agrees to deal Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
Seattle Seahawks first-round draft choice RB Jadarian Price agreed to terms on a four-year contract with the Seahawks Friday, May 29, according to a source. Financial terms were not disclosed, but the deal includes a fifth-year option.
| Footballguys view: Price has a chance to start Week 1 in the Super Bowl rematch against New England, but nothing is promised or guaranteed to him. George Holani is splitting first team work with Price while Zach Charbonnet (expected back sometime in the second half of the season) and Kenny McIntosh (should be ready for camp) recover from ACL surgery. Free agent signing Emanuel Wilson was not seen at practice this week, but Price did have a great play on a long reception that could help create momentum for him to be used in the passing game after barely seeing any targets at Notre Dame behind Arizona Cardinals #3 overall pick Jeremiyah Love. |
Jets | Braelon Allen on the field Sat May 30, 03:09 PM
New York Jets RB Braelon Allen has been participating in offseason workouts after missing most of the 2025 season because of a knee injury.

New England Patriots RB Terrell Jennings could be on the roster bubble during training camp because of his injury history, in the opinion of NBC Sports Boston's Phil Perry.
Link to story Packers | Christopher Brooks works with starters Fri May 29, 04:21 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Christopher Brooks took first-team reps during 11-on-11 drills at OTAs on Wednesday, May 27.
| Footballguys view: Brooks' strength is his passing down skills, but with Emanuel Wilson gone to Seattle in free agency and MarShawn Lloyd once again "working off to the side", Brooks is the primary backup to Josh Jacobs, who was in the news because of domestic violence allegations earlier this week. We should know if the Packers expect Jacobs to miss time due to a suspension by whether they decide to improve their running back bench. |
49ers | Isaac Guerendo may miss most of camp Fri May 29, 04:21 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) suffered a torn pectoral this offseason and is expected to be sidelined until around the end of training camp, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: Guerendo was already viewed as behind third round pick Kaelon Black and last year's fifth round pick Jordan James on the depth chart. It's possible that Guerendo ends up on the NFI or PUP list to start the season. This news almost insures that the 2024 fourth round pick will be a non-factor in the 49ers backfield this season. |
