Lions | Jahmyr Gibbs' Fifth-Year Option Picked Up Tue Apr 28, 05:39 PM

The Lions have exercised the fifth-year option for Jahmyr Gibbs.

Footballguys view: This should come as no surprise. Gibbs became a full-time starter in 2025, and the Lions traded David Montgomery in the offseason. Gibbs rushed 243 times for 1,223 yards with 13 touchdowns in 2025. He also caught 77 passes for 616 yards with five touchdowns. He previously led the league with 20 rushing and receiving touchdowns in 2024. He's RB2 in the current Footballguys projections, and he's being drafted with the second pick overall in early drafts.

Chargers | Quentin Johnston gets option exercised by LAC Tue Apr 28, 04:54 PM

Los Angeles Chargers WR Quentin Johnston had his fifth-year option exercised by the Chargers on Tuesday, April 28.

Footballguys view: The move fully guarantees Johnston's $18 million salary for 2027. The Chargers made Johnston a first-round pick in 2023. He led the team in touchdowns the past two seasons and posted a career-high 735 receiving yards in 14 games last season. Johnston has 144 catches for 1,877 yards and 18 touchdowns since entering the league. The Chargers have a deep wide receivers room with Ladd McConkey, Johnston, Tre' Harris, and KeAndre Lambert-Smith.

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.

Panthers | RB Jonathon Brooks Fully Cleared For OTAs Tue Apr 28, 03:23 PM

Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks is cleared to participate in the entire offseason program by his surgeon, he told reporters on Tuesday.

Footballguys view: The Panthers selected Brooks, who was coming off a torn ACL suffered during his final season at Texas, in the second round of the 2024 draft. He made his debut in the middle of his rookie season, but tore the same ACL in his third game back. He then missed all of last season while recovering. Chuba Hubbard and Trevor Etienne return from last season, and Carolina signed AJ Dillon as a free agent. How Brooks will fit into that backfield mix will be one of the things to watch as the Panthers' offseason continues to play out.

Vikings | Free Agent WR Jauan Jennings to Visit Vikings Tue Apr 28, 03:05 PM

49ers free-agent wide receiver Jauan Jennings is visiting tonight and Wednesday with the Minnesota Vikings, a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Footballguys view: Jennings, 28, had spent his entire career with the 49ers, with the club having selected him in the seventh round of the 2020 draft. Jennings played 75 games with 32 starts for San Francisco, including 55 receptions for 643 yards with nine touchdowns in 2025. The Vikings did not select a receiver in this year's draft over the weekend, which puts them in the market for more depth at the position. The Dolphins are also said to be interested. But Miami doesn't appear to have the cap room necessary to be a viable bidder.

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.

Chiefs | Kansas City 'shocked' to have Emmett Johnson Tue Apr 28, 01:19 PM

Chiefs vice president of player personnel Ryne Nutt says the team was 'shocked' they could select RB Emmett Johnson in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft.

Footballguys view: According to SBNation's Ron Kopp Jr., Johnson is projected to be the immediate backup to free-agent addition Ken Walker III, who will handle the lead role. But don't be surprised if Johnson earns his way onto the field on pass downs or in other situations. While there's a path to a role here, Footballguy Dave Kluge, in the 2026 Rookie Draft Guide 3.0, suggests "the floor for Johnson is low."

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.

Cardinals | Tyler Allgeier thought he was starting Tue Apr 28, 09:49 AM

Arizona Cardinals RB Tyler Allgeier signed with the Cardinals in the offseason because he believed he would be the lead running back.

Footballguys view: The arrival of Jeremiyah Love, the third pick overall in last week's draft, puts Allgeier in familiar territory. He spent the past three years playing behind Bijan Robinson in Atlanta. Barring injury issues for Love, Allgeier has almost no path to a front-line fantasy role this season. All that said, Allgeier did benefit from a goal-line role in Atlanta. He scored a career-high eight touchdowns last season. We may see a similar role if the Cardinals find themselves near the goal line this fall. For now, Allgeier is RB48 on the Footballguys projections. Love opens as RB10.

Dolphins | Miami interested in Jauan Jennings Tue Apr 28, 12:51 AM

Free-agent WR Jauan Jennings (49ers) has been receiving interest from the Miami Dolphins this offseason, but the Dolphins to not have the salary cap space to sign him at this point, according to a source.

Footballguys view: The Dolphins, who traded Jaylen Waddle and released Tyreek Hill and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, have been adding wideouts on the cheap since. They signed Jalen Tolbert and Tutu Atwell in the first wave of free agency, then selected three -- Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell, and Kevin Coleman Jr. -- in last week's NFL Draft. While it's a reach financially, if he lands in Miami, Jennings, who caught a career-high nine touchdowns with the Niners last season, would likely be the team's top wideout.

Bills | Buffalo not moving Keon Coleman Tue Apr 28, 12:44 AM

Buffalo Bills WR Keon Coleman has received trade interest this offseason, but general manager Brandon Beane said the team is not interested in trading Coleman.

Footballguys view: Coleman has had two inconsistent seasons with the Bills. He was disciplined last November for being late to a meeting and was a healthy scratch for four games. By the end of 2025, Coleman was Buffalo's sixth wide receiver. He had 38 catches for 404 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games this past season. Even if he's sticking around, the team used a fourth-round pick this year on UConn wide receiver Skyler Bell to add to a receiver room that also includes DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, and Joshua Palmer.

Footballguys view: As CBSSports.com noted, Valdes-Scantling appeared in 10 regular-season games with the 49ers and Steelers last season, finishing with a combined 14 catches for 120 yards and one touchdown. The 31-year-old is joining his fifth team in the last two years and will attempt to win a job with Dallas this summer. He'll compete with Ryan Flournoy, KaVontae Turpin, Jonathan Mingo, and others behind CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens.
