Jaguars | Multiple picks sign rookie deals Thu May 7, 05:59 PM
Jacksonville 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.

Link to story Jaguars | CJ Williams under contract Thu May 7, 05:58 PM
Jacksonville 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. |
Jaguars | Josh Cameron inks deal Thu May 7, 05:51 PM
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 story Jaguars | Tanner Koziol signs contract Thu May 7, 05:49 PM
Jacksonville 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. |
Falcons | Kyle Pitts officially signs tender Thu May 7, 05:30 PM
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. |

Titans | Cam Ward picking up offense Thu May 7, 05:18 PM
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. |
Jaguars | Travis Hunter will still have offensive role Thu May 7, 05:11 PM
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). |
Buccaneers | Tampa Bay signs three rookies Thu May 7, 04:46 PM
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 story Buccaneers | Bauer Sharp signs deal Thu May 7, 04:44 PM
Tampa 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. |
Buccaneers | Ted Hurst under contract Thu May 7, 04:31 PM
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. |

Vikings | Nolan Teasley requested by Minnesota for an interview Thu May 7, 02:54 PM
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. |

Vikings | Minnesota requests interview with John McKay Thu May 7, 01:33 PM
The Minnesota Vikings have requested an interview with Los Angeles Rams assistant general manager John McKay for their general manager vacancy on Tuesday, May 7.
| Footballguys view: McKay has learned under Les Snead, one of the most respected GMs in all of football, and he's got a connection with Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell. With the previous working relationship and creativity that McKay will likely bring with him to his next gig, the Vikings might have a front-runner in their search for a new general manager. |
Vikings | RJ Gillen requested by Minnesota for an interview Thu May 7, 01:29 PM
The Minnesota Vikings have requested an interview with San Francisco 49ers assistant general manager RJ Gillen for their general manager vacancy on Tuesday, May 7.
| Footballguys view: Gillen has spent nearly the last decade working his way up the ranks in the 49ers front office. Last year was the first season Gillen served as the team's assistant GM. The Vikings need a new GM after firing Kwesi Adofo-Mensah on January 30, and now Adofo-Mensah has rejoined the 49ers where he previously worked from 2013-2020. |

Broncos | Justin Joly signs rookie deal Thu May 7, 10:25 AM
Denver Broncos fifth-round pick TE Justin Joly signed his rookie four-year deal Thursday, May 7. Financial terms weren't disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Joly has some move tight end skill, and he's going to be able to hone that skill set behind Evan Engram in 2026. With Davis Webb calling plays instead of Sean Payton this year, we think Engram has more of an impact than he did a year ago. His 50 catches for 461 yards and one touchdown were disappointing for Fantasy GMs, and Engram finished as the no.25 tight end in standard-scoring formats. Joly is not as athletic as Engram, but he's a slippery player the Broncos moved up for on Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft. |
Steelers | Aaron Rodgers, Steelers to talk shop Thu May 7, 10:22 AM
Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Steelers) is meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers Friday, May 8, and the two sides are expected to agree to a contract.
| Footballguys view: The Rodgers 2026 saga may finally be over before the weekend! The Steelers have been waiting this entire offseason for Rodgers to make a decision, and now things are coming to a head. The $15 million UFA tender is considered to be strictly a placeholder and not a ballpark of a contract. He's no longer the player he used to be, but Rodgers could easily post similar numbers to what he did last year in Pittsburgh. |

Packers | Bigger role expected for Matthew Golden Wed May 6, 04:17 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Matthew Golden will receive a bigger role in the offense this upcoming season and should see an increase in his production, according to offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich.
| Footballguys view: After Romeo Doubs left in free agency and Dontayvion Wicks was traded to Philadelphia, there's a path for Golden to succeed. Christian Watson will be the field-stretcher. Jayden Reed should return to a featured role after missing nine games to injury. But Golden, a 2025 first-round pick -- Green Bay's first wideout taken in Round 1 in over two decades -- will get ample opportunity to prove his worth. Golden is being drafted as WR52. Landing him as your WR4 or WR5 in Round 10 in hopes of a breakout is a reasonable approach. |

Chiefs | Kenneth Walker may see more work as receiver Wed May 6, 01:52 PM
Kansas City Chiefs RB Kenneth Walker III said he has been spending time with QB Patrick Mahomes this offseason and believes he will be more involved in the passing game with the Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: Walker has earned a reputation as a run-first back in his four NFL seasons, averaging fewer than 40 catches and 300 yards receiving per year over four seasons in Seattle. But Walker has been spending time with Patrick Mahomes this offseason trying to get ready for an expanded role as a pass-catcher -- and, over the past five years, three different KC RBs have had at least 40 receptions in a season. Two of those seasons came with OC Eric Bieniemy. The return of Bieniemy could mean more opportunities for Walker. |
Jets | Russell Wilson says he has an offer from the Jets Wed May 6, 01:46 PM
Russell Wilson told the New York Post that he has an offer on the table from the Jets, and he is weighing his options. "I still know I can play ball at a high level," Wilson said.
| Footballguys view: Wilson visited the Jets last week to talk to the team about coming aboard as a backup quarterback behind his former Seahawks teammate Geno Smith, and there was a report later in the week that Wilson has also been talking to networks about a television role. There's no word on the details of the offer that the Jets made to Wilson, who began last season as the Giants' starter but ended it as their third-string quarterback. |

Jets | OC says Geno Smith a perfect fit Wed May 6, 01:32 PM
New York Jets QB Geno Smith is a perfect fit for the team's new offensive scheme, according to offensive coordinator Frank Reich.
| Footballguys view: From 2021-2024, Smith started 52 games for Seattle, leading the club to a 28-24 record while completing 68.5 percent of his passes for 12,928 yards with 76 touchdowns and 36 interceptions. As Profootballtalk.com suggested, if Smith is better than that, then the Jets will be in a much better position to have success in 2026. That doesn't mean fantasy investors should be counting on Smith to fuel their fantasy fortunes. But thinking he can keep the players we are invested in, Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall, on schedule is reasonable. |
