  Steelers | Pittsburgh in the market for a veteran WR?    Fri Apr 26, 04:48 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens figures to be the team's top wideout in 2024, but Sportskeeda's Tony Pauline is reporting that the team has been 'nosing around and would like to trade for a veteran wideout' to replace Diontae Johnson.

Footballguys view: The rumors are that the Steelers will make a move for Broncos WR Courtland Sutton. He had a good connection with QB Russell Wilson and could be looking for a fresh start (in addition to a new contract).

  NFL | Ladd McConkey likely to be drafted early on Friday    Fri Apr 26, 04:11 PM

University of Georgia WR Ladd McConkey could be selected as early as No. 34 overall to the New England Patriots in the 2024 NFL Draft on Friday, April 26. Even if the Patriots pass, the Tennessee Titans (No. 38), Washington Commanders (Nos. 36 and 40) and Indianapolis Colts (No. 46) all reportedly have interest in selecting him, according to Sportskeeda's Tony Pauline.

Footballguys view: McConkey has some Cooper Kupp to his game. We wouldn't have been surprised to see him as a first-round pick, but now he's available on Day 2. It shouldn't take too long for him to go off the board.

  Bills | Buffalo eyeing WR at 33?    Fri Apr 26, 03:51 PM

University of Texas WR Adonai Mitchell and Florida State WR Keon Coleman are reportedly among the top targets for the Buffalo Bills if they hold onto the first pick of the second round in the 2024 NFL Draft on Friday, April 26.

Footballguys view: The Bills seemed set to select a wide receiver near the end of the first round. Then, they traded back with the Chiefs who selected WR Xavier Worthy (thanks for that Buffalo). Then, they moved completely out of the first round. Now, the Bills could select one of the receivers that is left over from Day 1 of the draft.

  NFL | At least two teams talking trade for Deebo Samuel    Fri Apr 26, 02:21 PM

Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel appears more likely to be traded at this point than teammate Brandon Aiyuk. According to Boston Sports Journal's Mike Giardi, the Buffalo Bills and New England Patriots are the two teams showing the most interest in acquiring Samuel - presumably with their selections at the top of the second round.

Footballguys view: Things change pretty quickly around here. Aiyuk and the team want to come to an agreement on a long-term deal, but there was some thought he might be traded during the draft. The 49ers selected Florida WR Ricky Pearsall in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft, so perhaps trading Samuel would make sense.

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk is believed to be looking for more than $25 million per season in a new contract, sources told San Francisco Chronicle's Michael Silver.

Footballguys view: The 49ers have expressed interest in signing Aiyuk to a long-term deal. However, talk is cheap and actions speak much louder. We'll see if Aiyuk is dealt away during the draft. If not, we'll see if the 49ers hand him the bag he's looking for.

  Panthers | Carolina expects to lean on Diontae Johnson    Tue Apr 23, 01:44 PM

Carolina Panthers WR Diontae Johnson informed reporters on Tuesday, April 23, that head coach Dave Canales told him shortly after his trade from the Pittsburgh Steelers that he would play 'X' (split end) and be the first read on the majority of passing plays in 2024.

Footballguys view: Yahoo's Matt Harmon, also the creator of the Reception Perception method for assessing the receiver position, reminds us that Carolina's wideouts could not get open last season. Harmon also notes that is Johnson's specialty. Johnson, who finished last year as WR45, currently resides at WR41 on the Footballguys 2024 Draft Rankings. He is going in that same spot in best-ball drafts at Underdog and BestBall 10s.

  Chiefs | KC keeping the faith in Kadarius Toney    Tue Apr 23, 12:21 PM

Kansas City Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney is 'probably our most talented wideout now,' according to general manager Brett Veach.'He is probably our most talented wideout now. It doesn't do anyone any good unless you stay healthy. But the kid has always worked hard here for us and I know he's been down there with (Patrick Mahomes) and I think it's a matter of him staying healthy and I think if he can do that, he can really do a lot of great things in this offense. People around the building like him and it's the injury bug and hopefully he gets some luck on his side and he can stay healthy and be the player that he was in Florida and the player that we've seen in spurts here,' Veach said.

Footballguys view: Fantasy managers who took a chance on Toney as their WR5 or 6 last season came up short. Will they invest again this year? It's unlikely. Those who haven't already been burned might do worse with their final picks in best-ball drafts, but in terms of redraft, it's hard to see Toney as draftworthy.

  49ers | San Francisco wants Brandon Aiyuk long-term    Mon Apr 22, 03:12 PM

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk is seeking a new contract, and general manager John Lynch told reporters Monday, April 22, they want him with the team for the long-term.

Footballguys view: Aiyuk, who is currently set to make $14.1 million this seaso, is coming off a strong season where he recorded 75 receptions for 1,342 yards and seven touchdownss while serving as an invaluable cog in the 49ers' explosive offense. Assuming he remains with the team, Aiyuk should be viewed as a fantasy WR2.

North Carolina WR Devontez Walker had visits with the Kansas City Chiefs and Las Vegas Raiders ahead of the 2024 NFL draft, according to sources Sunday, April 21.

Footballguys view: Walker has talent, but he was a bit disappointing during the week of practice for the Senior Bowl. Scouts see him as a mid-round pick with upside. Walker has a great size/speed combination, but he needs to refine his route-running ability to maximize his potential in the pros.

  Jets | Jets prefer Big 3 WRs over Brock Bowers?    Sun Apr 21, 03:35 PM

The New York Jets may prefer WRs Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers and Rome Odunze if they fall over TE Brock Bowers, according to ESPN's Richi Cimini on Sunday, April 21. 'Here's what we're hearing: The Jets could pick a wide receiver in the unlikely event that one of the top three falls to 10. They're also interested in offensive tackles, with Notre Dame's Joe Alt, Oregon State's Taliese Fuaga and Washington's Troy Fautanu thought to be their top preferences. Alt probably will be off the board, so the choice could come down to Bowers versus their OT2,' said Cimini.

Footballguys view: Bowers to the Jets is commonly mocked, but it may not happen. They could move up in the draft for one of the big-3 at the wide receiver position. With the no.10 overall pick, guys like Marvin Harrison Jr (Ohio State), Malik Nabors (LSU), and Rome Odunze (Washington) could be off the board.

  Broncos | Denver not trading Courtland Sutton    Sun Apr 21, 11:10 AM

The Denver Broncos have been contacted by several NFL teams regarding the availability of WR Courtland Sutton, according to multiple sources. However, they have no plans to trade him, even though he has been skipping voluntary workouts because of his contract situation.

Footballguys view: Well, they say they're not trading Sutton. That's what they have to say, but if Sutton wants a new contract then perhaps he's signaling that he doesn't want to be in Denver any longer. We could see a Sutton trade on draft night.
