Link to storyIndianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen told reporters, 'We'll see how it goes' with Anthony Richardson potentially competing for the backup quarterback job.
| Footballguys view: Things change quickly around here. It wasn't that long ago that Richardson was seen as a potential franchise quarterback, and now he's in a battle for the backup job behind Daniel Jones. Riley Leonard is likely to be the no.2 quarterback for the Colts, and he certainly would be if/when the Colts trade Richardson. |

New York Jets RB Breece Hall agreed to a three-year extension worth up to $45.75 million on Friday, May 8.
| Footballguys view: Hall is now the third-highest paid running back in the NFL with an average annual salary of $15.25 million. There were rumblings last year about Hall getting traded, and even this offseason those resurfaced. Instead of moving Hall, the Jets now get a new deal done. He's an RB2 for Fantasy GMs as the Jets try to make the right improvements around him on offense. |
New Orleans Saints head coach Kellen Moore told the media on Friday, May 8, that WR Barion Brown 'is a receiver as well not just a returner.'
| Footballguys view: Brown has plenty of receiving skill in addition to what he can do as a returner. He's blazing fast, and that speed is evident once he gets to the open field. In fantasy leagues that reward return yardage, we're excited about Brown's future. |
Green Bay Packers K Brandon McManus was released by the team on Friday, May 8.

Denver Broncos general manager George Paton has reached an agreement with the Denver Broncos on a five-year extension on Friday, May 8.
| Footballguys view: Paton has cemented himself as one of the best GMs in football. The Broncos are Super Bowl contenders now because of the talent that Paton has found the team - mostly through the draft but also in free agency. With a big trade for WR Jaylen Waddle this offseason, Broncos fans are excited about what this passing game could look like. Paton gets a lot of flowers for the work he's done meshing with Sean Payton as well. |
Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love has signed his rookie deal with the team on Friday, May 8. It is a four-year deal with $53 million guaranteed.
| Footballguys view: Love has playmaker tendencies, and he's a player that can score from anywhere on the field. It's a crowded backfield in Arizona with Tyler Allgeier, James Conner, and Trey Benson, so projected Love's fantasy production in 2026 is somewhat complicated. With the right role, Love could be the Cardinals' version of Jahmyr Gibbs. Will that role materialize this year? That's yet to be determined. |
Atlanta Falcons second-round pick CB Avieon Terrell (hamstring) and sixth-round pick DT Anterio Thompson (undisclosed) will be held out of rookie minicamp all weekend due to injuries.

New York Giants third-round draft choice WR Malachi Fields signed a four-year contract with the Giants Thursday, May 7. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: The Giants got a boss receiver here in Fields. Giants GM Joe Schoen said Fields will be the "power forward" in their wideout room. From a fantasy perspective we could see a big play or two in the preseason having Fantasy GMs ready to take Fields with a later-round pick. He's no doubt a player for all to monitor. |
Carolina Panthers third-round draft choice WR Chris Brazzell II signed a four-year contract with the Panthers Thursday, May 7. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Brazzell measures in at 6-feet, 4-inches and he can run a 4.3 40-yard dash. That size/speed combination could make him a favorite target for QB Bryce Young. Brazzell can operate 'above the rim' which makes him a great red-zone option too. |
Free agent WR Jauan Jennings (49ers) has reached an agreement with the Minnesota Vikings on a one-year, $13 million deal.
| Footballguys view: It will be interesting to see Jennings on the field with the Vikings behind Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. With Jennings ability as a blocker, he doesn't need to come off the field. We'll likely see him settle in as a WR4/deep flex option for Fantasy GMs in 2026. |

New York Jets TE Kenyon Sadiq signed his rookie contract on Thursday, May 7. It is for four years and $22.3 million fully guaranteed.
| Footballguys view: Sadiq was arguably the best overall tight end in this draft class. The Jets selected Mason Taylor last year out of LSU, so we'll see Sadiq as the move tight end while Taylor continues as a blocking tight end. Sadiq is more of a TE2 for Fantasy GMs, although the potential to be a TE1 as a rookie is there. |
New York Jets QB Cade Klubnik signed his rookie contract on Thursday, May 7. The contract is for four years and $5.5 million.
Link to storyNew York Jets S VJ Payne signed his rookie deal on Thursday, May 7. The deal is for four years and $4.4 million.

Link to storyJacksonville Jaguars third-round draft choice DT Albert Regis, third-round draft choice OG Emmanuel Pregnon, third-round draft choice S Jalen Huskey, fourth-round draft choice LB Wesley Williams, seventh-round draft choice DE Zach Durfee and seventh-round draft choice LB Parker Hughes signed four-year contracts with the Jaguars Thursday, May 7. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Link to storyJacksonville Jaguars sixth-round draft choice WR CJ Williams signed a four-year contract with the Jaguars Thursday, May 7. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Williams did snare 59 receptions in 2025, leading Stanford with 749 yards and six scores. The Jaguars certainly went deep with this late-round selection. We'll see if Jaguars GM James Gladstone found a diamond in the rough or not. Fantasy GMs in super deep dynasty leagues should monitor the rookie. |
Jacksonville Jaguars sixth-round draft choice WR Josh Cameron signed a four-year contract with the Jaguars Thursday, May 7. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Link to storyJacksonville Jaguars fifth-round draft choice TE Tanner Koziol signed a four-year contract with the Jaguars Thursday, May 7. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Koziol is huge and knows how to use his body to get the ball in contested situations. He begins his pro career likely behind both Brenton Strange and fellow rookie Nate Boerkircher. In super deep dynasty leagues (especially those with tight end premiums), we are monitoring Koziol closely. |
Atlanta Falcons franchise free-agent TE Kyle Pitts officially signed his one-year tender offer Thursday, May 7. He is scheduled to make $15.045 million in 2026.
| Footballguys view: There was a report from NFL Network about a month ago that suggested Pitts had signed his franchise tender. Reports then surfaced about Pitts potentially being on the trade block. Since he's now signed for the 2026 season, perhaps a trade will go down. Stay tuned. |

Tennessee Titans QB Cam Ward has been able to learn the new offensive scheme quickly this offseason, according to offensive coordinator Brian Daboll.
| Footballguys view: Daboll has a history of getting the best out of young quarterbacks. Ward is attacking this offseason of change for the Titans with the focus of a franchise quarterback. In a Daboll system, Ward could post QB2 numbers for Fantasy GMs in 2026. |
Jacksonville Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter will still see work as a wide receiver during the 2026 season but will see an increase in snaps at cornerback during the season, according to general manager James Gladstone.
| Footballguys view: Hunter is not going to exclusively play cornerback as some had previously suggested. Not only has Hunter pushed back on that, but now the Jaguars GM says the same thing. Hunter can be a playmaker on both sides of the ball, but many Fantasy GMs are nervous about his usage at wide receiver this year. His fantasy value in year two may not be what some wanted/expected, but Hunter can have a fantasy impact (perhaps in the flex range). |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers fourth-round draft choice CB Keionte Scott, fifth-round draft choice DT DeMonte Capehart and fifth-round draft choice OG Billy Schrauth signed four-year contracts with the Buccaneers Thursday, May 7. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Link to storyTampa Bay Buccaneers sixth-round draft choice TE Bauer Sharp signed a four-year contract with the Buccaneers Thursday, May 7. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Sharp was originally a quarterback when he entered college football. After three teams, Sharp enters the NFL as a special teams player with limited production at tight end. He can be moved around the formation at tight end, so in super deep dynasty formats, we'll be keeping tabs on Sharp. |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers third-round draft choice WR Ted Hurst signed a four-year contract with the Buccaneers Thursday, May 7. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: The Buccaneers selected Hurst out of Georgia State with the No. 84 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. He's got a great size/speed combination and has the physical traits to be a big-play weapon in the NFL. Jumping from the Sun Belt to the NFL is quite the leap, so Hurst has plenty to prove entering his first NFL season. |

The Minnesota Vikings have requested an interview with Seattle Seahawks assistant general manager Nolan Teasley for their general manager vacancy on Tuesday, May 7.
| Footballguys view: Teasley has spent over a decade with the Seahawks, learning from one of the best GMs in football John Schneider. That championship pedigree he brings to the table is something the Vikings would love to have in their building. |
Tampa Bay Buccaneers DL Rueben Bain Jr. signed his rookie deal on Thursday, May 7. It is a four-year deal worth $22.785 million.
