Six-time Pro Bowl tight end
George Kittle signed a four-year, $76.4 million contract extension with the San Francisco 49ers on Tuesday that includes $40 million guaranteed, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Now that the two sides were able to work out a contract extension, Kittle should show up for the team's voluntary offseason program, while the Niners can now turn their full attention to getting an extension done with quarterback
Brock Purdy. Despite being on the wrong side of 30 -- he'll turn 32 in October, Kittle finished as the TE2 in half-PPR scoring last year, behind only Las Vegas Raiders rookie
Brock Bowers. He finished 2024 with 78 catches on 94 targets for 1,106 yards and eight touchdowns in only 15 games played. Kittle is a high-end fantasy tight end, but he's also injury-prone and relies more on efficiency than volume, as he hasn't had triple-digit targets since 2019.

The Athletic's Daniel Popper thinks Los Angeles Chargers former first-rounder wide receiver
Quentin Johnston will have to earn his roster spot in training camp this summer after the team added wideout
Tre Harris in the second round this year. Harris and
Mike Williams are downfield, contested-catch weapons for quarterback
Justin Herbert, while
Ladd McConkey has already proven himself as a game-changing slot receiver after just one year in the NFL. Popper thinks the Chargers will initially have McConkey in the slot, Williams at X and Harris at Z. Rookie
Keandre Lambert-Smith will give the Bolts more speed on the field when they want it. The drop-prone Johnston was better last year with a 55-711-8 line in 15 games, but the addition of Harris is bad news for his fantasy value in single-year and dynasty/keeper formats in 2025.

The Athletic's Daniel Popper writes that Los Angeles Chargers running back
Hassan Haskins is the leader in the clubhouse for the third running back spot on the 53-man roster this year behind
Najee Harris and first-round rookie
Omarion Hampton because of his versatility on special teams. Haskins played the third-most special-teams snaps of any Charger last year.
Kimani Vidal will have to come to training camp ready to perform to make it more of a competition for the No. 3 job. The 25-year-old Haskins won't be on the fantasy radar in single-year leagues as long as both Harris and Hampton are healthy for the Bolts. The former fourth-rounder by the Tennessee Titans in 2022 out of Michigan had only 34 carries for 89 yards and two touchdowns for L.A. in 17 games last year while also adding three catches for 49 yards and a touchdown.

When asked if rookie quarterback
Jalen Milroe could be used in a
Taysom Hill-type role, Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said that Milroe "is a quarterback through and through."
Sam Darnold will play most of the snaps in 2025, but Milroe will have an opportunity to earn a unique role in certain situations. General manager John Schneider said that Seattle "added an explosive weapon while (Milroe) develops as a quarterback." "He's going to be trained to play quarterback for us. When he's in there, he's going to be playing quarterback. But the athleticism is going to come to life when he's on the field," Macdonald said. The 6-foot-1, 216-pounder has game-changing speed and a big arm, but he needs to develop as an accurate passer with anticipation at all three levels of the field. Milroe's dynamic athleticism will make him an intriguing dynasty/keeper pick, but he should be ignored in redraft leagues.

The Cleveland Browns applied the seldom-used unrestricted free-agent tender to wide receiver
Elijah Moore on Monday, according to ESPN's Field Yates. Moore will still count as part of the compensatory free agent if he signs with another team before this year's compensatory formula deadline on June 21. If he signs elsewhere this offseason, his tender carries a value of $3.428 million for the 2025 season. The 25-year-old took a visit to the Buffalo Bills on Monday and could be close to signing with the organization. The former second-round pick (34th overall) by the New York Jets in 2021 out of Mississippi caught 61 of his 102 targets for 538 yards and just one touchdown in 17 games (13 starts) in 2024 in his second year in Cleveland. Even if he were to sign in Buffalo, Moore would have a limited fantasy ceiling, having never gone over 640 yards or five TDs in his four years in the league.

After visiting with former Carolina Panthers, Houston Texans and Baltimore Ravens wide receiver
Diontae Johnson on Monday, the Cleveland Browns reached an agreement with him on an undisclosed one-year deal, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Johnson had a disappointing and interesting 2024 season in the NFL, to say the least. He played the first seven games of the season with the Panthers after being acquired in a trade with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 28-year-old was then traded from the Panthers to the Ravens, where he caught just one pass for six yards in four games. He was eventually cut and latched on with the Texans for one game. Almost all of Johnson's production last year came in Carolina, and he finished with career-lows in catches (33) and receiving yards (375). In Cleveland, he will compete to be the No. 3 wideout behind
Jerry Jeudy and
Cedric Tillman. Expectations will be low.

There is building team interest in the Dallas Cowboys reuniting with free-agent wide receiver
Amari Cooper, a source told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Nick Harris. The Cowboys surprisingly didn't use any of their nine selections in last week's draft on a receiver, and ESPN's Todd Archer reported that the Cowboys had discussions with an AFC North team about trading for a receiver, but the two sides weren't able to get anything done before the draft. Other than Cooper, there are still intriguing free-agent options such as
Keenan Allen and
Nelson Agholor. Dallas traded a first-rounder for Cooper in 2018, and he had 292 catches for 3,893 yards and 27 touchdowns in 56 games with the team. The 30-year-old veteran would likely become Dallas' No. 2 wideout across from
CeeDee Lamb if he were to return to the Cowboys.

On Saturday, New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen told reporters that the team would not pick up offensive lineman Evan Neal's fifth-year option. The 24-year-old was the seventh overall pick for New York in the 2022 NFL Draft, and he was seen as a solid prospect during his college career. However, he's had trouble getting it together at the NFL level and has yet to live up to his first-round billing. In 2024, Neal was surpassed by free agent acquisition Jermaine Eluemunor on the depth chart, appearing in nine games (seven starts). The Giants are expected to try the Florida native out at guard this season, hoping to find another home for him, though it remains to be seen if he will stick. 2025 projects to be his final season with the team.
