Montravius Adams Released By Steelers
Source: Steelers On X
The Pittsburgh Steelers released defensive lineman Montravius Adams on Wednesday, the team announced on X. Adams spent the last four seasons with the Steelers following one season with the New Orleans Saints and four seasons with the Green Bay Packers. The former third-round pick out of Auburn in 2017 saw his playing time dramatical dip in 2024, recording zero starts after making 17 starts in the two seasons prior. Overall, the veteran has tallied 123 tackles (61 solo), 2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery, seven pass deflections, and 14.5 run stuffs in 96 career games. While he's unlikely to be a clear-cut starter moving forward, there are plenty of teams lacking interior defensive line depth that could be interested in his services.Eagles Picking Up Fifth-Year Option On Jordan Davis
Jordan Davis, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. Davis, the former No. 13 overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Georgia, has tallied 90 tackles (41 solo), 3.5 sacks, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, four pass deflections, and 13 run stuffs in 47 career games. His counting stats don't do his play justice as an interior run-clogger, but he's an important piece on the dominant Philly defensive front, so this move comes as no surprise. This will keep Davis with the organization through the 2026 campaign, barring a trade or unexpected situation.Source: NFL.com
The Philadelphia Eagles exercised the fifth-year option on defensive tackle Myles Price Lands With Vikings As UDFA
Myles Price on Wednesday, according to NFL.com. Price spent his final collegiate season at Indiana following four years at Texas Tech. Overall, the Dallas, Texas native totaled 199 receptions for 2,217 yards and 13 touchdowns in 55 career games. His best season of production came in his 2021 sophomore year, compiling 38 receptions for 523 yards and two scores. He handled 42 punt returns and 59 kick returns in his career, so a special-teams role is likely his best shot to stick around and make the team's 53-man roster in 2025.Source: NFL.com

Ravens Won't Pick Up Fifth-Year Option On Tyler Linderbaum
Source: Baltimore Ravens
The Baltimore Ravens announced on Wednesday that they will not be picking up the fifth-year option on center Tyler Linderbaum. However, general manager Eric DeCosta said the organization is open to working out a new deal for the 25-year-old former 25th overall pick int he 2022 NFL draft out of Iowa. Unless the two sides work out a long-term contract extension, Linderbaum will be eligible for free agency following the 2025 season. He was a Pro Bowler in each of the last two seasons for the Ravens and has started all 49 games that he's appeared in over his three NFL seasons in Baltimore. Linderbaum was hampered by a back injury last year but managed to play in all 17 regular-season games. It sounds like the Ravens plan on keeping Linderbaum beyond this season.Ravens Exercise Kyle Hamilton's Fifth-Year Option

The Baltimore Ravens announced on Wednesday that they are exercising the fifth-year option for the 2026 season on safety Kyle Hamilton, according to general manager Eric DeCosta. The GM also said that the team is open to working out a long-term contract extension with Hamilton. It's no surprise for Hamilton, who has been a Pro Bowler each of the last two years and a first-team All-Pro in 2023. The 24-year-old defensive back had a career-high 107 tackles (77 solo), two sacks, six QB hits, one interception, nine pass breakups, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 17 regular-season starts last year. Hamilton's numbers last year were good enough to make him a top-10 defensive back in IDP fantasy formats. He had double-digit tackles in five regular-season games and played every snap in nine contests. Hamilton will be a must-start defensive back in IDP lineups again in 2025.Vikings Agree With Andrew Van Ginkel On One-Year Extension
Source: ESPN - Adam Schefter
The Minnesota Vikings reached an agreement on Tuesday with linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel on a one-year, $23 million contract extension that includes $22.4 million guaranteed, according to his agents Drew and Jason Rosenhaus. The Vikings liked what they saw from Van Ginkel in his first year in Minnesota in 2024, when he totaled a career-high 79 tackles (50 solo), a career-high 11.5 sacks, 18 tackles for loss, 19 QB hits, two interceptions returned for touchdowns, six pass breakups and one forced fumble in 17 regular-season starts for his first Pro Bowl selection. Fantasy managers in IDP formats may want to temper expectations going into 2025 because of the fact that he hadn't produced more than six sacks in a single season in his first five years in the NFL. Still, the 29-year-old has big-play ability at the linebacker position.Nick Nash Has An Opportunity With Falcons
Nick Nash, who signed as an undrafted free agent out of San Jose State, could find himself in the team's receiver rotation in 2025 after leading all FBS pass-catchers in 2024 in catches (104), touchdowns (16) and receiving yards (1,382). The converted quarterback played half of his 2,169 collegiate snaps under center, giving him a unique perspective at the receiver position. The 6-foot-2, 200-pounder gives QBs a wide catch radius, but for now, excelling on special teams could be his ticket to the main roster. He's old for a rookie at 26 years old and is relatively new to the receiver position, too, so at best, Nash will probably work in four- or five-receiver sets for the Falcons behind Drake London, Ray-Ray McCloud III and Darnell Mooney. He'll have to make up for his lack of long speed with his size and precise route-running.Source: SI.com - Terrance Biggs
