The Las Vegas Raiders spent a lot of time this offseason doing their homework on Boise State running back
Ashton Jeanty under new general manager John Spytek, but The Athletic's Dianna Russini writes that strong cases are being made in Vegas' draft room to address their offensive line with the No. 6 overall pick on Thursday night instead. The Raiders reportedly have been interested in moving up into the top five picks of this year's NFL draft while also being open to moving back, depending on what transpires early on. Jeanty is the obvious fit for the Raiders, even after they added veteran
Raheem Mostert to their backfield in free agency. However, with such a deep class at the RB position this year, the Raiders may not feel pressured to pull the trigger on Jeanty in the top 10 if they stay put at pick No. 6 overall.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini reports that the Jacksonville Jaguars, who own the No. 5 overall pick, and the Las Vegas Raiders (No. 6) have both expressed interest in moving up at the top of the first round if the player they want is available, according to sources. Russini was told that the Jaguars are hoping to keep this year's draft "electric" with first-year head coach Liam Coen and first-year general manager James Gladstone, and they are looking for an offensive player (
Travis Hunter?). For the right trade offer, though, the Jaguars remain open to moving down from the No. 5 pick as well. If the Jaguars or Raiders were to swing a trade to move up to somewhere in the No. 2 to 4 pick range, it would most likely be for either Hunter or Penn State edge rusher Abdul Carter. The Browns, Giants and Patriots hold picks No. 2 through 4, respectively.

The New Orleans Saints will not be picking up the fifth-year option on offensive lineman Trevor Penning for the 2026 season. They announced earlier on Wednesday that they will pick up the fifth-year option for wide receiver
Chris Olave. It's a no-brainer decision for the Saints on the 25-year-old Penning, who hasn't exactly panned out as a reliable starter on their offensive line since they took him 19th overall in 2022 out of Northern Iowa. He did start all 17 games at right tackle for the Saints in 2024 after starting just six games in his first two years in the league in 2022 and 2023, but Penning was a liability in pass protection for beat-up quarterback
Derek Carr (shoulder) and those that replaced him due to injury. With the news, Penning is now scheduled to become a free agent after the upcoming 2025 season.

While long-time Cleveland Browns running back
Nick Chubb (foot) remains on the free-agent market on the eve of the 2025 NFL draft, he doesn't appear to be considering retirement. "They've already wrote my ending when I'm just getting started," Chubb wrote on Instagram, adding a bat emoji. Chubb also posted a video on his social media page of him squatting significant weight, which is something he hadn't really done since a devastating knee injury that he suffered early in the 2023 season. The 29-year-old second-rounder and four-time Pro Bowler returned to play in eight games for the Browns in 2024 but didn't look like the same guy, averaging a career-worst 3.3 yards per carry on 102 rushing attempts for 332 yards and three touchdowns. Chubb also suffered a season-ending foot fracture in December, which no doubt has many teams skeptical about how much he can offer moving forward.

Sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz that multiple teams have brought up Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver
George Pickens' name up in trade discussions, and he's a name to watch with the 2025 NFL draft kicking off on Thursday night. The Steelers aren't actively shopping Pickens, but trade talks have taken place as the 24-year-old pass-catcher enters the final year of his contract in 2025. The Steelers could use some more draft capital after giving away their second-rounder this year to acquire
DK Metcalf from the Seattle Seahawks, but they are also excited about the possibilities in 2025 with Metcalf and Pickens sharing the field on offense. It sounds like the Steelers aren't in a rush to get rid of Pickens, even though his long-term future with the organization is in question, but they could give in if a team offers them something too good to pass up. Stay tuned.

ESPN NFL draft analyst Todd McShay has Arizona wide receiver
Tetairoa McMillan ranked as the 50th overall prospect on his draft board this year due to concerns about his effort, saying that he quit on over-the-middle targets and didn't work hard enough with the Sun Devils. McMillan still managed to produce 1,319 receiving yards and eight touchdowns at Arizona in his final collegiate season in 2024 and is considered by many to be one of the top prospects at the receiver position heading into this week's draft. Teams like the New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints and Dallas Cowboys could surely use a talent like McMillan in their offense. The Patriots have the fourth overall pick in the first round on Thursday night, while the Saints sit at No. 9, and the Cowboys have the No. 12 overall selection. Depending on where McMillan lands, he could make an immediate fantasy impact in 2025.

The Minnesota Vikings have waived offensive linemen Trevor Reid and defensive back NaJee Thompson. Reid, soon to be 25, was on his third team in two seasons (Falcons, Eagles) but has yet to garner a snap since signing as an undrafted free agent with Philadelphia in 2023. He was waived with a non-football injury designation. Thompson, on the other hand, followed a similar path to the NFL, though the Vikings were the team that signed him. He appeared in 15 games two seasons ago, logging seven tackles (five solo) and a fumble recovery. However, he spent all of 2024 on Injured Reserve after suffering a knee injury in January. The 24-year-old was waived after failing a physical, as his knee has yet to fully recover.

Per the team, the Detroit Lions have released quarterback
Jake Fromm ahead of this weekend's draft. Their roster now sits at 73 players. The 26-year-old has hopped around the league over his five-year career, serving stints with the Lions, Commanders, Giants, and Bills -- the team that selected him in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. In three career appearances (one start), he racked up 210 passing yards and a 1:3 TD:INT ratio on a 45% completion percentage, chipping in 65 yards on eight rush attempts. The 26-year-old hasn't seen in-game action since the 2021 season during his time with the Giants. Fromm signed a Futures contract with Detroit back in January, but their recent acquisition of quarterback
Kyle Allen must have eased them enough to cut ties with him.

On Wednesday, the Seattle Seahawks waived defensive tackle Cameron Young after two years with the team. Seattle drafted the Mississippi State alum in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft. In the ensuing season, he appeared in 16 games for the organization (one start). However, he'd suit up for a lone contest in 2024. Young tallied 18 tackles (ten solo), one tackle-for-loss, and one QB hit during his time with the Seahawks. Seattle's roster now sits officially at 67 players, allowing them the flexibility to select and sign up to 23 additional athletes over this weekend's draft. They currently hold ten picks, including five in the top 92.

The Detroit Lions have agreed with defensive back Kerby Joseph on a four-year, $86 million extension, per Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. Joseph's new contract ties him to Detroit through the 2029 season, making him the highest-paid safety in NFL history. The Illinois product led his team and the league last year with nine interceptions and placed third on the Lions with 83 total tackles. He's missed just two games in his three years with the organization, notching at least 74 takedowns and four interceptions in each campaign. The 24-year-old played 99% of the team's defensive snaps in 2024 and will again be a pivotal asset in Detroit's defensive backfield.

The Denver Broncos have been rumored to be interested in Boise State running back
Ashton Jeanty or North Carolina ball-carrier
Omarion Hampton, but the team is not expected to trade up in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic. "Denver is comfortable with sticking at pick No. 20 and selecting the player it wants — or trading back," Russini wrote. "I heard the Broncos love some of the running backs, but not enough to move up." While Jeanty or Hampton would have tremendous fantasy football upside in Sean Payton's offense, the 2025 rookie running back class is strong and loaded with depth, so Denver could opt to pick one in Round 2 or 3 if Hampton is already off the board when their No. 20 overall selection rolls around.
