4 weeks agoThe New York Jets signed undrafted free-agent cornerbacks Shemar Bartholomew and Myles Jones, wide receivers
Tyler Harrell and
Marcus Riley, edge rushers Tyreek Johnson and Braiden McGregor, tight end
Lincoln Sefcik, offensive linemen Willie Tyler and Brady Latham, safeties Al Blades Sr. and Jarius Monroe, quarterback
Peewee Jarrett, linebackers Jackson Sirmon, Jimmy Ciarlo and Tre Jenkins and defensive linemen Eric Watts and
Leonard Taylor III on Friday. Jarrett, who played at West Florida, threw for 2,989 yards, 32 touchdowns and seven interceptions in college in 2023. Sefcik, 24, caught just 17 passes for 165 yards in 2023 and was limited to just nine games due to injuries at South Alabama. All of these players will be fighting an uphill battle to make New York's roster out of training camp.

4 weeks agoThe Philadelphia Eagles placed offensive tackle Le'Raven Clark (undisclosed) on Injured Reserve on Friday and also added rookie undrafted free-agent offensive tackles Gottlieb Ayedze, Anim Dankwah and Laekin Vakalahi, tight end
McCallan Castles, defensive tackle Gabe Hall, running back
Kendall Milton and safety Andre' Sam. The move to put Clark on IR in the offseason will give the Eagles a bit more roster flexibility as training camp approaches this summer. The 31-year-old wasn't with an NFL team last year and last played in 13 games (two starts) for the Tennessee Titans in 2022. The former third-round pick of the Indianapolis Colts in 2016 out of Texas Tech spent the first four years of his career with the Colts before joining the Eagles in 2021.

4 weeks agoGreen Bay Packers rookie safety Kitan Oladapo (toe) said he had surgery on his left big toe recently and is out for the team's offseason workouts. However, he expects to be ready for training camp this summer. Oladapo suffered a stress fracture doing drills on the turf at the NFL combine in February in Indianapolis and powered through more drills at his pro day despite being injured. Along with the 23-year-old, the Packers also took safeties Xavier McKinney and
Anthony Johnson in this year's draft to help them shore up their secondary. Oladapo, who hails from Oregon State, will need to get healthy in a hurry if he wants to impress the coaching staff enough in training camp to secure a spot on the regular-season roster.

4 weeks agoAlcorn State running back
Jarveon Howard has signed with the Green Bay Packers as an undrafted free agent, according to a source. Howard spent three years at Syracuse before transferring to Alcorn State in 2022 for a bigger role in the backfield. The 22-year-old ran for 2,042 yards and 19 yards in his two seasons at Alcorn State. He will now hope to impress Green Bay's coaching staff enough to get a shot to make the team this summer out of training camp. Right now, the Packers' running back depth chart consists of starter
Josh Jacobs, rookie
MarShawn Lloyd,
AJ Dillon,
Emanuel Wilson and
Ellis Merriweather. Howard will be facing an uphill battle to make Green Bay's final roster, but he could stick around on their practice squad.

4 weeks agoThe Seattle Seahawks signed undrafted free-agent linebackers Sunny Anderson, Nelson Ceaser, Easton Gibbs and Rason Williams II, quarterback
Chevan Cordeiro, offensive tackle Garret Greenfield, wide receivers
Hayden Hatten and
Dee Williams, running backs
George Holani,
Kobe Lewis and
TaMerik Williams, cornerbacks Carlton Johnson and Ro Torrence, defensive end DeVere Levelston, center Mike Novitsky and tight end
Jack Westover on Friday. Cordeiro, who is out of San Jose State, was the Mountain West Conference's all-time leader in total touchdowns, total yards and completions. Ceaser, from Houston, was a first-team All-Big 12 selection and team captain who led his team with 13.5 tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks in 2023. Greenfield was a three-time first-team FCS All-American.

4 weeks agoNew York Jets rookie quarterback
Jordan Travis (ankle), who was drafted by the Jets in the fifth round last week, won't take part in offseason workouts but should be cleared for training camp at the end of July, according to head coach Robert Saleh. The Jets took the Florida State star as a developmental prospect who can learn behind
Aaron Rodgers and veteran backup
Tyrod Taylor. Travis suffered a gruesome, season-ending ankle injury on Nov. 18 and required surgery. He rode a stationary bike on Friday during part of practice. "He's a tremendously talented young man and extremely gifted, especially athletically. He's got a lot of work to do for sure, especially with tying his lower half to his arm and all that good stuff, but he's a gifted athlete," Saleh said. Travis threw for 8,643 yards and 65 touchdowns while finishing his career with 17 straight wins for the Seminoles.

4 weeks agoThe New York Jets traded up to the first pick of the third round (No. 65) in the 2024 NFL Draft to select former Western Kentucky wide receiver
Malachi Corley. In a recent media availability, Jets general manager Joe Douglas touted the rookie's run-after-catch skills and believes he's a great fit alongside
Garrett Wilson and
Mike Williams. "He really excels with the ball in his hands. When guys are really good at running after catch in college, it usually translates well in the pros," Douglas said. "If a guy has the ability to make people miss it's because they're really an elusive high-level athlete and if they're wired to compete. Our coaches are going to use that skill to turn him into an elite route runner." Needless to say, the team has high expectations for the 22-year-old -- and for good reason. In his final two collegiate campaigns, he caught 180 passes for 2,277 yards and 22 touchdowns.

4 weeks agoFormer University of Georgia running back
Kendall Milton signed with the Philadelphia Eagles as an undrafted free agent, according to NFL.com. Milton had a strong career at Georgia considering the team opted to use a committee approach, racking up 297 carries for 1,839 yards (6.2 YPC) and 23 touchdowns in 41 career games. Last season, he rushed for 790 yards and 14 touchdowns on just 121 attempts. However, he caught just 12 passes during his entire four-year collegiate career and struggled at the NFL combine, which are likely primary factors in him going unselected during the 2024 NFL Draft. He'll have a tough road ahead in trying to make the team's 53-man roster.

4 weeks agoThe Buffalo Bills signed linebacker Deion Jones and defensive lineman Dawuane Smoot on Friday, according to NFL.com. The team moved on from several veterans on both sides of the ball this offseason, so Jones and Smoot could compete for playing time in 2024. Jones, a former second-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, earned Pro Bowl honors in 2017, but he hasn't lived up to his breakout campaign. In 109 games with the Falcons, Browns, and Panthers, he has racked up 731 tackles, 12 sacks, five forced fumbles, and 13 interceptions. Smoot, a former Jaguars third-round pick, spent the first seven seasons of his career with Jacksonville and compiled 23.5 sacks through his first 99 games.

4 weeks agoNew York Jets head coach Robert Saleh said that there will be no restrictions for quarterback
Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) when Phase 3 of the offseason begins in two weeks, which consists of 10 organized team activity practices. "Once phase three hits, we're not anticipating any restrictions from what we can and can't do with him," Saleh said. Meanwhile, rookie QB
Jordan Travis (ankle), is expected to be ready for training camp after suffering a devastating injury in November. The 40-year-old Rodgers is coming off a torn left Achilles that he suffered on the first offensive series of the season in 2023. The odds are against him returning to his MVP form with the Jets, but he's not lacking for offensive weapons around him if he can stay healthy in 2024.

4 weeks agoDallas Cowboys wide receiver
Jalen Tolbert, who worked as the team's No. 4 wideout in his second season in 2023, is expected to have a bigger role in 2024 alongside
CeeDee Lamb and veteran
Brandin Cooks. Tolbert essentially split offensive snaps with
Michael Gallup last year, but Gallup is now in Las Vegas. In 17 regular-season games (six starts) last year, Tolbert caught 22 of his 36 targets for 268 yards and two touchdowns after recording just two receptions in his rookie campaign in 2022. The 25-year-old former third-round pick in the 2022 NFL draft out of South Alabama won't necessarily be worth drafting in standard-sized fantasy leagues this fall, but if Lamb or Cooks go down with an injury at any point, Tolbert would become a popular waiver-wire pickup.

4 weeks agoUnsurprisingly, the Jacksonville Jaguars didn't pick up the fifth-year option on new quarterback
Mac Jones, who the team acquired in a trade with the New England Patriots this offseason. Jones was New England's first-round pick in 2021 but failed to make an impact as their starter under center. He went to the Pro Bowl as a rookie in 2021 but was merely a replacement player. Jones started all 42 games that he played for the Patriots, but the team went 4-13 in 2023 and Jones found himself on the bench for the final six games. The 25-year-old from Alabama regressed in each of his three seasons in Boston, but it didn't help that the Patriots were constantly bringing in new offensive coaches during his time there. Now in Jacksonville, Jones will operate as the clear backup to
Trevor Lawrence in 2024.

4 weeks agoDarren Waller's expected retirement could open the door for
Daniel Bellinger to become the New York Giants' No. 1 tight end in 2024 like he was as a rookie. Bellinger's receiving opportunities were limited by Waller's presence last year, but the addition of veteran blocking tight ends this offseason should allow Bellinger to be featured more as a receiver in his third season in the league. The 23-year-old former fourth-round pick in 2022 out of San Diego State has caught 55 of his 63 targets for 523 yards and two touchdowns in his two seasons with the G-Men. If Waller hangs up his cleats as things seem to be trending, Bellinger could be a decent under-the-radar TE2 target in deeper fantasy leagues this fall.
