Dyami Brown Stands Out at First OTA Practice
Dyami Brown, who was picked up in free agency in the offseason, stood out in the team's first OTA practice on Monday, according to SI.com's John Shipley. Shipley writes that Brown made it clear that defenses will not be able to afford considering him an afterthought alongside Brian Thomas Jr. and rookie first-rounder Travis Hunter. Brown ran crisp routes and was one of the few receivers who didn't deal with drops while making explosive plays through the air and on designed touches as a ball-carrier. The 25-year-old earned praise from both head coach Liam Coen and offensive coordinator Grant Udinski. Brown, a former third-rounder by the Washington Commanders in 2021 out of North Carolina, mostly lingered at the bottom of the wideout depth chart in D.C. However, he could become the No. 2 WR if Hunter spends most of his time on defense in 2025.Source: SI.com - John Shipley

Kyren Williams Optimistic About a Contract Extension
Kyren Williams said he was "feeling good" about the possibility of him reaching a long-term contract extension with the team. "I know with time it's going to happen," Williams added. The two sides started talking about a potential extension in late March, but nothing has been agreed upon yet. The 24-year-old former fifth-round pick (164th overall) in 2022 out of Notre Dame was a first-time Pro Bowler in 2023 but was even better last year, rushing for a career-best 1,299 yards and a career-high 14 rushing touchdowns on 316 rushing attempts in 16 regular-season starts. He also added 34 receptions for 182 yards and another two TDs. In the last two years for the Rams, Williams has been as productive as they come, finding the end zone 31 times in 28 games. He was the RB6 in half-PPR scoring in 2024 and will be a clear RB1 target this fall in fantasy drafts.Source: The Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles Rams running back Packers Sign Matthew Golden to Rookie Deal
Matthew Golden to his four-year rookie deal, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst. Golden will receive a fully-guaranteed $17.57 million with a signing bonus of $9.42 million, according to OverTheCap.com. The Packers took the 21-year-old pass-catcher in the first round at the end of April, the first time they had taken a receiver in the first round since 2002. The 5-foot-11, 191-pounder caught 58 passes for 987 yards and nine touchdowns at Texas in 2024. Golden should play right away in Green Bay, especially with Christian Watson (knee) potentially out for half the season. He will primarily be a field-stretcher for the Packers and could be a boom/bust fantasy commodity in his first NFL campaign in a wideout corps that also includes Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks.Source: Packers.com
The Green Bay Packers announced on Monday that they signed first-round wide receiver 49ers, Fred Warner Agree to Three-Year Extension
Source: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport
The San Francisco 49ers and All-Pro linebacker Fred Warner agreed to terms on a new three-year contract extension on Monday worth $63 million, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The deal makes Warner the league's highest-paid linebacker, and he'll also receive $56.7 million guaranteed. The 28-year-old former third-rounder (70th overall) in the 2018 NFL draft out of BYU has been a Pro Bowler and first-team All-Pro in four of the last five seasons for the 49ers. Warner has recorded 100-plus total tackles in all seven of his NFL seasons and finished the 2024 campaign with 131 tackles (76 solo), a sack, five tackles for loss, two interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), seven pass breakups and four forced fumbles in 17 starts. Warner finished as the No. 6 fantasy linebacker in IDP leagues last year and will once again be a must-start in those formats in 2025.Cleveland Signs Shedeur Sanders to Rookie Deal
Shedeur Sanders to a four-year contract worth $4.6 million. NFL Insider Jordan Schultz reported the news. Much has been made about the Colorado product's epic draft-day slide, and now it's up to him to prove the league wrong. Whether he's an NFL-caliber quarterback remains to be seen, but he's undoubtedly motivated to start his climb up Cleveland's quarterback depth chart. Accuracy is Sanders' superpower, but he needs to play more within the confines of his game, particularly given his average athleticism. The good news is that the competition to head the Browns' offense is mostly wide open. Veteran Joe Flacco stands to get the first crack at the starting job unless Kenny Pickett can beat him out in training camp. From there, it's Sanders and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel, with Deshaun Watson (Achilles) unlikely to play in 2025.Source: Jordan Schultz
The Cleveland Browns have signed rookie quarterback Michael Gonzalez Signs With Atlanta
Source: Will McFadden
Per the team, the Atlanta Falcons have signed undrafted free agent offensive lineman Michael Gonzalez to a three-year, $2.96 million contract. The rookie was a guard during his time at the University of Louisville, starting all 27 games over his final two seasons. Gonzalez helped his college rush for over 175 yards per game in those campaigns. Though he was not drafted, Atlanta saw something they liked in the North Carolina native, inviting him to the team's rookie mini-camp and cross-training him at center. He's currently buried on the team's depth chart but is an effective pass blocker and should have a good amount of time to develop under offensive line coach Dwayne Ledford.Chiefs Agree to Terms with Tremayne Anchrum
Source: Aaron Wilson
KPRC 2 Houston's Aaron Wilson reports that the Kansas City Chiefs have signed free-agent offensive lineman Tremayne Anchrum to an undisclosed contract. The former Los Angeles Ram has appeared in 31 games over his career (one start) after the team selected him in the seventh round of the 2020 NFL Draft. Anchrum last played in 2023 with L.A., suiting up for all 17 games, but spending most of his time on special teams aside from Weeks 2 and 17, in which he played more than 50% of the offensive snaps. Although he isn't likely to challenge for the starting roster, the 26-year-old's experience would be valuable if needed due to injuries. He's third (unofficially) on the depth chart at guard behind teammates Trey Smith and C.J. Hanson.Omarion Hampton Inks Rookie Deal with Chargers
Omarion Hampton has agreed to a four-year, $17.77 million deal with the Los Angeles Chargers. The contract includes a $9.56 million signing bonus. Hampton and backfield mate Najee Harris are set to split time in Jim Harbaugh's offense, which caps the former Tar Heel's immediate upside. Still, his long-term outlook is looking quite rosy. Like Harris, the 22-year-old is a powerful, bruising back with a three-down skill set, though he possesses much more explosiveness than the veteran. Even if Hampton starts the season off behind his teammate in carries, it wouldn't be surprising to see him even out the workload over the course of the season -- if not outright taking the job if he adjusts quickly enough.Source: Jordan Schultz
NFL Insider Jordan Schultz reports that first-round rookie running back Michael Fletcher Signed by Jets
Source: Eric Allen
The New York Jets have signed undrafted free agent defensive lineman Michael Fletcher to a three-year, $2.96 million contract. Fletcher was ranked the No. 1 high school defensive end prospect in the state of Michigan by ESPN.com and a consensus top 50 player in the nation. After four seasons with Michigan State -- in which he garnered just three starts in 22 games -- he transferred to Appalachian State and found much more success. Over those final two campaigns, he recorded 40 tackles (18 solo) with 8.5 sacks and ten tackles for loss. The Michigan native is likely set for a rotational/depth role off the edge for the Jets if he makes the roster, and joins a unit that ranked eleventh as a team with 43 sacks in 2024.Eagles, Nick Sirianni Agree To Contract Extension
Source: The 33rd Team - Ari Meirov
The Philadelphia Eagles and head coach Nick Sirianni agreed to an undisclosed long-term contract extension on Monday, according to The 33rd Team's Ari Meirov. It doesn't come as much of a surprise after Sirianni just helped lead the team to their second Super Bowl championship last season in a blowout win over the Kansas City Chiefs, who were looking to become the first team ever to win three straight championships. Sirianni was hired before the start of the 2021 season. Since then, the Eagles have made the playoffs four straight years with two Super Bowl appearances and won Lombardi Trophy. "Nick has embodied everything we were looking for in a head coach since we hired him four years ago. His authentic style of leadership, football intelligence, passion for the game, and growth mindset have helped to bring out the best in our team. I am excited for what the future holds for the Philadelphia Eagles," chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie said.Brock Purdy has Full No-Trade Clause
Brock Purdy received a full no-trade clause for the duration of the deal, sources told NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Purdy gets financial security and control over his future in a deal that is expected to be finalized and become official soon. It wasn't completely Purdy's fault as to why he fell from being the QB6 to QB13 in overall fantasy points in the 2024 season. San Francisco's offense was behind the eight ball from the beginning of the year when they didn't have star running back until the second half of the season, and then he suffered a new injury that caused him to be shut down. Top wideout Brandon Aiyuk also suffered a season-ending injury. The 25-year-old signal-caller could rebound to QB1 levels with better health of his offensive weapons.Source: NFL Network - Mike Garofolo
