Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald admitted on Monday that the team will have a package of plays prepared for rookie quarterback
Jalen Milroe each week. "We're going to have plays in game plans for Jalen (Milroe), and he's going to rep those with the 1s," Macdonald said. The head coach wants the division-rival San Francisco 49ers and the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team's opponents in the first two weeks of the regular season, to know that Milroe will be on the field for a select amount of plays. The 22-year-old will really only be worth stashing this year in dynasty/keeper formats as the expected QB3 entering his first NFL season. While Milroe has plenty of intrigue in the long term for his rushing abilities, he will need to grow as a passer. He struggled in the preseason finale over the weekend, going 13-for-24 for 148 yards, one touchdown and three turnovers.

The Los Angeles Chargers are waiving wide receiver
Brenden Rice, the son of Hall of Famer Jerry Rice, on Monday, a source tells NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. If Rice clears waivers, he could return to the team's practice squad to open the 2025 regular season as receiver depth for the Bolts. The Chargers selected the 23-year-old in the seventh round (225th overall) last year out of USC, and Rice didn't catch a single game in parts of only three games in 2024 while playing just 13 offensive snaps. He finished his rookie campaign on Injured Reserve due to a shoulder injury. Rice is healthy now, but he'll be looking to catch on with another team via waivers or free agency.

The Arizona Cardinals cut quarterback
Clayton Tune on Monday, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Tune was among 12 total players cut by the team as they work to get their roster down to 53 players before the start of the regular season in early September. The 26-year-old went 30-for-49 passing for 186 yards, one touchdown and an interception while running the ball nine times for 53 yards in three preseason games for Arizona, but he ultimately will lose out on the backup job in the desert to veteran
Jacoby Brissett behind starter
Kyler Murray. If he does not latch on with another team before Week 1, Tune could return to Arizona and revert to the practice squad. The former fifth-rounder in 2023 out of Houston has thrown for 70 yards, no touchdowns and two picks on 23 pass attempts in 13 games (one start) in his two NFL seasons.

The Washington Commanders released wide receiver
Michael Gallup on Monday, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. Gallup was unable to make Washington's 53-man roster heading into the regular season in his comeback bid after retiring in 2024 shortly after signing with the Las Vegas Raiders. The 29-year-old veteran could return to the Commanders on their practice squad, but if he signs with another team for the regular season, he will merely be competing for a spot on the active game-day roster and won't be on the fantasy radar at all. The former third-rounder (81st overall) by the Dallas Cowboys in 2018 out of Colorado State caught 34 of 57 targets for 418 yards and only two touchdowns in 17 games (13 starts) in 2023 in his final year in Dallas. Gallup's best season came in Year 2, when he put up a 66-1,107-6 line on 113 targets in 14 games (12 starts).

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers plan to release quarterback
Kyle Trask (shoulder), a source told Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. Trask will revert to Injured Reserve due to a shoulder issue and then work out a settlement or release in order to look for a new team. It means that veteran
Teddy Bridgewater will open the 2025 season in Tampa as the primary backup behind starter
Baker Mayfield, with undrafted free agent
Connor Bazelak serving as the QB3. Trask, 27, was a second-round pick (64th overall) in the 2021 NFL draft out of Florida. He never started a game for the Bucs in his three seasons and appeared in only seven games, going just 4-for-11 passing for 28 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions. Trask will now be looking to get healthy and latch on with another organization and compete for a depth role.

The Cincinnati Bengals and All-Pro pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson agreed on a $14 million raise for the 2025 season on Monday, raising his salary for this year to $30 million, sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Hendrickson is still scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent after the end of this season. The 30-year-old still hasn't gotten the long-term extension from the team that he has been seeking for years now, but he at least will get a pay bump going into the final year of his current deal. The Bengals can now revisit a contract extension after the 2025 campaign or just let him walk in free agency next March. Hendrickson is one of the most valuable pass-rushers in IDP fantasy formats, especially since he won't be holding out going into Week 1 versus the Browns. He's coming off back-to-back 17.5-sack seasons and has 57 sacks in his four seasons in Cincy.

Former Buffalo Bills wide receiver
Amari Cooper, who was one of the league's top free agents still available, is signing an undisclosed one-year deal with the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday, a source tells NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Cooper will return to the team that drafted him with the fourth overall pick in 2015 out of Alabama. The 31-year-old veteran was a Pro Bowler in each of his first two seasons in Oakland before eventually heading to the Dallas Cowboys. Cooper has seven 1,000-yard receiving seasons, with his most recent one coming in 2023 with the Cleveland Browns. He spent last year with Cleveland and Buffalo, combining for a 44-547-4 line in 14 games (10 starts). Cooper didn't pan out in Buffalo but will give Vegas some experienced receiver depth after
Jakobi Meyers just requested a trade on Monday.

The Detroit Lions released quarterback
Hendon Hooker on Monday, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Hooker came into training camp this summer with an opportunity to compete with
Kyle Allen for the No. 2 QB job in Detroit behind starter
Jared Goff, but he failed to impress in three preseason games. The 27-year-old former third-rounder (68th overall) in 2023 out of Tennessee went 6-for-11 for 70 yards and an interception in the preseason finale on Saturday against the Houston Texans, which sealed his fate. Hooker will now try to latch on with another organization as quarterback depth, and he's likely to be placed on the practice squad if he signs elsewhere. He made his NFL debut last year and went 6-for-9 passing for 62 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in mop-up duty in only three games.
