Wide receiver
Chris Conley announced his retirement on Saturday after 10 seasons in the National Football League. The 2015 No. 76 overall pick spent his first four seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs before suiting up for the Jacksonville Jaguars, Houston Texans, Tennessee Titans, and San Francisco 49ers. In 132 regular-season contests, he amassed 226 receptions (383 targets) for 2,998 yards and 15 touchdowns. Conley spent his final year with the 49ers, although he wasn't very productive, catching six passes for 76 yards in 15 contests.

Per the team, the Miami Dolphins have signed defensive lineman Ben Stille to a one-year, $1.1 million contract. The 27-year-old has bounced around the league quite a bit in his three campaigns, joining the Dolphins as an undrafted free agent in 2022, but splitting time with them and the Cleveland Browns that season. Then, he'd join the Arizona Cardinals in 2023 and spend some of 2024 with the Cards and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. In 18 career appearances (one start), he's racked up 17 tackles (seven solo), 2.0 sacks, one pass defensed, one tackle for loss, and one fumble recovery. Stille seems set for a depth role on the organization's defensive front if he makes the cut.

The Tennessee Titans have signed fourth-round rookie wide receiver
Chimere Dike to a four-year contract. Financial details have not yet been disclosed. Dike spent four seasons at Wisconsin, but culminated his collegiate career with the Florida Gators in 2024, recording 42 receptions for 783 yards and two touchdowns. The 23-year-old is a burner, capable of separating early in the route with his speed, and offers Tennessee's offense a dimension they haven't displayed in some time. It's unlikely he plays a significant role in the early going, but the Titans' WR corps doesn't offer much competition for targets behind teammates
Calvin Ridley and
Tyler Lockett. Furthermore,
Treylon Burks has yet to come on in his three seasons, and Dike provides more speed and explosiveness than
Van Jefferson. He's a nice stash in dynasty formats for the time being.

ESPN's Adam Schefter noted on The Adam Schefter Podcast that he would not be surprised if Buffalo Bills running back
James Cook did not attend the team's mandatory minicamp next week. "I don't believe that these two sides are anywhere close to a deal at this point in time," said the NFL Insider. Cook is in the final year of his rookie deal and rightfully wants a new contract. However, he's looking to get paid upwards of $20 million annually, which would put him on par with the Eagles'
Saquon Barkley. The 25-year-old was excellent in 2024, but he'll likely need to drop his expectations somewhat as he looks for a new agreement. It wouldn't be ideal for him to miss time, considering we've seen what lengthy holdouts can do to a player's early-season production. We'll learn more when Buffalo holds their next organized activities in a few days.

Chicago Bears rookie wide receiver
Luther Burden III (undisclosed) was still missing from offseason practices this week due to an undisclosed soft-tissue injury. It's unclear exactly what Burden is dealing with. Although he could be ready to go by training camp in late July, the 21-year-old pass-catcher is losing valuable developmental reps this offseason heading into his first NFL season in 2025. In addition to his injury, he has yet to sign his rookie contract. When healthy, Burden could be the Bears' No. 3 receiver in the slot alongside
DJ Moore and second-year man
Rome Odunze. He will likely be competing with
Olamide Zaccheaus for the No. 3 role, but even if he wins it, Burden could be fighting an uphill battle for consistent targets in his rookie season on a Bears offense that now has six players that were former top-50 picks.

Chicago Bears safety Jaquan Brisker (concussion) missed most of last season with a concussion. Brisker sought and underwent treatment at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, where he was told that he had a vestibular concussion. He retrained his nervous system after appearing in only five games in 2024. The 26-year-old is back on the field during offseason workouts, though, and has been flying around like he did before his concussion, according to The Athletic's Adam Jahns. The former second-round pick (48th overall) in 2022 will be a big piece of the secondary that the Bears will be getting back this year, as he had 100-plus combined tackles in both of his first two seasons in the NFL in 2022 and 2023. Brisker had 40 tackles (23 solo), a sack, an interception and a forced fumble in his five games last year. If fully healthy, he should be in play as a DB streamer in IDP fantasy formats.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that a contract extension for star quarterback
Lamar Jackson is on the docket for the Baltimore Ravens. "We're in the introductory stage of looking at what an extension looks like," general manager Eric DeCosta said. As things stand right now, Jackson is the 10th-highest paid QB in the NFL. The 28-year-old four-time Pro Bowler, three-time All-Pro and two-time MVP not only deserves a new contract, but the Ravens want to get one done so that they can lower his high salary cap number. If Jackson becomes the highest-paid signal-caller in the league, which is probably likely, he'll make more than $60 million per year. He was incredible last year as the QB1 in fantasy with a career-high 4,172 passing yards, 41 TDs and only four picks in 17 regular-season starts while adding 915 rushing yards and four more TDs. As long as he stays healthy, he's pretty much a lock as a top-five QB.

Chicago Bears wide receiver
Rome Odunze believes he's going to take a major step forward in his second professional season. Odunze had high expectations after being drafted as the No. 9 overall pick during last year's draft. He finished with 54 receptions, 734 yards, and three touchdowns across 17 games last season. To be fair, nothing seemed to go right for the Bears offense last season. They tried to get Odunze involved with over 100 targets, but the poor play of the offensive line made it difficult for them. Despite that, the Bears believe Odunze is a special player that can take a big leap this next season. Odunze said his goal is to get at least 1,000 receiving yards and double-digit touchdowns. The Bears have added talent on offense, so we'll see if that goal is achievable, but regardless fantasy managers should probably hold Odunze and see what happens.

The Philadelphia Eagles have claimed running back
Keilan Robinson off waivers from the Jacksonville Jaguars on Friday. The Jags decided to move on from Robinson after drafting him in the fifth round of last year's draft. Robinson basically only played special teams, but deserves a chance to prove himself as an offensive player. He'll have an uphill battle to earn a spot in camp, but it's possible he makes the team as a special teams player. In a corresponding move, wide receiver
Ife Adeyi has been waived by the organization.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver
Ladd McConkey dealt with multiple injuries last season, but still only missed one game during the regular season. The rookie wideout seemed banged up throughout most of the season, but still put up strong numbers. He finished with 1,149 receiving yards with 82 receptions and seven touchdowns in 16 games (14 starts) with the Chargers last season. Now, McConkey is focusing on the art of falling down in order to protect himself from injury. McConkey wants to learn how to fall safely to avoid serious injury and stay on the field as much as possible. It's nice to see such a young player taking care of his body this early in his career. McConkey was a stud last season and his value figures to only go up.

Kansas City Chiefs quarterback
Gardner Minshew II (collarbone) has been throwing during voluntary organized team activities. Minshew broke his collarbone in 2024 while with the Las Vegas Raiders and was limited to 10 games (nine starts), in which he threw for 2,013 yards, nine touchdowns and 10 interceptions in his only year in the desert. Now that he's recovered from the injury, the 29-year-old signal-caller is expected to open the 2025 season as the backup to starter
Patrick Mahomes, with
Bailey Zappe likely being named the third-stringer. Minshew was a first-time Pro Bowler in 2023 with the Indianapolis Colts, but he'll be off the fantasy radar completely in his seventh season in the NFL as long as Mahomes stays healthy.
