New Orleans Saints running back
Xazavian Valladay was released by the organization on Friday. This isn't a shocking move given the Saints recently signed running back
Cam Akers. The Saints running back room was getting a little crowded, so they've decided to move on from Valladay. The 26-year-old hasn't done much during his pro career. He appeared in only one game on special teams with the New York Jets in 2023. He'll look to land with another organization as depth ahead of the start of the season.

Cleveland Browns tight end Tre' McKitty has been waived by the organization. McKitty didn't stay too long in Cleveland as he signed a futures deal in January after joining the team late last season. Before that, McKitty spent three seasons with the Los Angeles Chargers. He totaled 16 receptions for 117 yards with zero touchdowns across 34 games (12 starts) in three years with the Chargers. The 26-year-old will look to catch on elsewhere before the season begins. In a corresponding move, tight end
Sal Cannella has been signed to the roster.

Tennessee Titans tight end
Chig Okonkwo is reportedly looking good in recent open practices. Okonkwo has caught the most passes during OTAs and appears to be building a strong chemistry with rookie quarterback
Cam Ward. The former fourth-round pick hasn't been too successful over his first three seasons. Over the last two years, Okonkwo has hauled in 50-plus receptions and under 550 receiving yards both seasons. The Titans don't have a ton of competition at tight end, so Okonkwo should remain the top option at that position. We could possibly be looking at a breakout campaign if these two continue building chemistry.

Per the team, the Dallas Cowboys have signed defensive lineman Perrion Winfrey to an undisclosed contract. Defensive tackle Justin Rogers was waived in a corresponding move. Winfrey was a former fourth-round pick of the Cleveland Browns in the 2022 NFL Draft, but he spent just one season with the team. He appeared in 13 games that year, notching 22 tackles, a tackle for loss, and half a sack, but suited up just once more for the Jets in 2023. In October of 2024, the UFL's Birmingham Stallions signed the Oklahoma product, who would be named to the 2025 All-UFL team after recording 29 tackles, two for loss, and a sack with the squad. Winfrey will look to carve out a rotational role on Dallas' defensive front.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said he's "hopeful" that rookie offensive lineman Emery Jones Jr. (shoulder) will be available "at some point" during training camp this summer. Jones has been dealing with a shoulder injury and has been unable to take part in offseason practices as he gets ready for his first year in the NFL. The 21-year-old third-rounder out of LSU has already lost valuable development time this spring and doesn't look likely to be ready for the start of training camp. When he's cleared to join the rest of his teammates, Jones figures to be competing for playing time at right guard on Baltimore's offensive line. The 6-foot-5, 315-pounder might be eased into a role in his first year in the NFL, but at the very least, he should be pushing for playing time at some point in 2025.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Alex Darus reveals that Cleveland Browns rookie quarterback
Shedeur Sanders' citation for driving 101 mph came less than two weeks after another speeding ticket that he got in the Cleveland area, and he failed to appear in court just hours before being ticketed for speeding this week. Sanders notable went from potentially being a top-five pick in this year's NFL draft to falling all the way to 144th overall in the fifth round to the Browns. The 23-year-old former Colorado star looked decisive and accurate during offseason workouts, but these off-the-field missteps won't go over well as he merely works to convince the Browns this year that he's working keeping around beyond his rookie season. It's unlikely to result in a suspension in 2025, but Sanders clearly has a lot of maturing to do both on and off the field.

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Andy Reid said he's not inclined to limit tight end
Travis Kelce's snaps this year or make concessions to his age (35) after he briefly contemplated retirement in the offseason. "I'm not feeling that," Reid said. "It would be similar to last year I would imagine as it goes. So, he's in great shape right now, so I think he's looking forward to getting going." However, Reid said he will continue to monitor Kelce as training camp and the regular season progress and makes changes if necessary. Kelce had the third-highest snap count and ran the fourth-most routes of his career in 2024, which bodes well for him staying heavily involved in the offense in 2025. However, the 10-time Pro Bowler and four-time All-Pro's numbers took another dip (97-823-3 line in 16 regular-season starts), making it clear that his ceiling probably is no longer as an elite, high-end fantasy TE1.

Kansas City Chiefs rookie first-round offensive tackle Josh Simmons (knee) will be ready for full participation when the team kicks off training camp at the end of July, according to head coach Andy Reid. Simmons missed part of last year while at Ohio State with a torn patellar tendon in his knee, but the Chiefs still liked him enough to take him 32nd overall back in April's NFL draft. He was able to take part in non-contact OTA and minicamp practices, and the Chiefs are looking forward to seeing more from the 22-year-old this summer. Simmons will be competing with free-agent addition Jaylon Moore for the starting left tackle job this year, which means protecting star quarterback
Patrick Mahomes' blind side. Simmons may not win the job outright heading into Week 1, but he's the future at the position for KC.

The Cleveland Browns signed tight end
Sal Cannella and released
Tre' McKitty, the team announced on X on Thursday. After going undrafted out of Auburn in 2020, Cannella has spent time with five NFL organizations, but he has not appeared in an NFL game. However, he's been a standout performer for the Arlington Renegades of the UFL over the last two seasons, totalling 97 receptions for 971 yards and seven touchdowns in 20 games. The 28-year-old has not found a way to stick on an NFL roster, but he's getting another chance entering the 2025 campaign. It would be a surprise if he makes a fantasy football impact based on what we've seen thus far, especially in a Cleveland tight end room that already has

The Pittsburgh Steelers released veteran running back
Jonathan Ward on Thursday, the team announced on X. After signing with the organization last offseason, Ward spent the 2024 campaign rotating between the active roster and the practice squad. He appeared in four contests, totaling five carries for 22 yards. The undrafted free agent in 2020 out of Central Michigan has spent time with the Arizona Cardinals, New York Jets, Tennessee Titans, and Steelers during his five-year NFL career, compiling 91 rushing yards and 52 receiving yards with one total touchdown. The 27-year-old could find his way on an active roster for another team, but he'll likely have to make his mark on special teams.
