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.

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.

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.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver
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.

Denver Broncos linebacker Dre Greenlaw (quadriceps) is expected to miss "a little bit of time" during offseason drills after straining a quadriceps muscle while working out, a source told The Denver Gazette's Chris Tomasson. Greenlaw has no surgery planned and is expected to be ready for the start of training camp at the end of July, without question. After playing his first six seasons in the NFL with the San Francisco 49ers, Greenlaw joined the Broncos this offseason. He tore his Achilles in the Super Bowl in 2024 and didn't return until this past September before missing the final two games with a calf injury. The 27-year-old former fifth-rounder (148th overall) in 2019 out of Arkansas. He had two straight 100-plus-tackle seasons in 2022 and 2023, and if he can bounce back to that form after his injuries, the Broncos already strong defense will have a steal on their hands.

Despite the Tennessee Titans selecting former Miami quarterback
Cam Ward with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, the team is in no rush to trade former second-round pick
Will Levis. According to general manager Mike Borgozini, Levis has "a lot of value" as a signal-caller to compete with Ward. "There is going to be competition in every room, and he elevates the competition in that room," Borgonzi said. "That is what we're trying to do here as we get into training camp, to have the best 90-man roster, best competition in every room, and Will certainly provides that." While it sounds like Tennessee wants to make Cam Ward earn the starting role, it would be a shocker if he's not the Week 1 starter in 2025. Levis might stick around through the offseason and training camp, but he could be traded near the start of the regular season.

According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Cincinnati Bengals are picking up the fifth-year option on defensive back Dax Hill. This locks Hill into a projected $12.7 million salary for 2026. The former first-round pick in the 2022 NFL Draft out of Michigan has played in 37 games (24 starts) for the Bengals, compiling 151 tackles (103 solo), two interceptions, 13 pass deflections, 2.5 sacks, and seven tackles for loss. Despite Hill suffering a torn ACL in Week 5 of the 2024 campaign, the organization is clearly optimistic about his recovery and potential in the future.

The Los Angeles Chargers placed the unrestricted free-agent tender on running back
J.K. Dobbins on Tuesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The veteran remains eligible to sign with any team, but the Chargers will retain his exclusive negotiating rights if he does not. If he doesn't sign with a new team, he would be due $3.428 million in 2025. After coming back from a torn Achilles last season, Dobbins rushed for 905 yards and nine touchdowns. Surely, the former Baltimore Ravens second-round pick would prefer to play somewhere else after the team added
Najee Harris via free agency and former North Carolina running back
Omarion Hampton in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. This is a situation worth monitoring for fantasy football purposes.
