Cleveland Browns exclusive-rights free-agent linebacker Winston Reid signed his tender on Tuesday to officially return to the team for the 2025 season. Reid will return for his second NFL season in Cleveland after recording 23 tackles (15 solo), half a sack, two pass breakups and one fumble recovery in 16 games (three starts) in his rookie year after going undrafted out of Weber State. The 25-year-old linebacker will return to the Browns and will enter training camp this summer in a reserve role at middle linebacker behind Jordan Hicks. He will be hoping to perform well enough in camp and the preseason to earn a 53-man roster spot going into Week 1 this fall.

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, Ole Miss quarterback
Jaxson Dart visited with the Cleveland Browns on Tuesday and will fly to Las Vegas to see the Raiders next. Schefter also noted that the 21-year-old has spent "considerable time" with the Giants, Saints, and Rams throughout the interview process. Dart's stock has risen over the past few months, and he was mocked to the Pittsburgh Steelers in the first round of Mel Kiper Jr.'s most recent mock draft. The Kaysville, Utah, native improved steadily each of his collegiate seasons and put it all together in his final year at Ole Miss. It's unclear whether he would see the field immediately, as he currently projects as a backup per his prospect grade. Still, with quarterbacks getting pushed up boards in recent years, the trend will likely continue.

The Denver Broncos have agreed with free-agent safety Sam Franklin on a one-year, $1.5 million contract. The Temple alum joined the Carolina Panthers in 2020 as an undrafted free agent and spent all five seasons of his career with the team. Franklin appeared in 74 games for Carolina (nine starts), logging 105 tackles (71 solo) and three for loss. He recorded one sack and five pass breakups, and his lone interception was a 99-yard touchdown. Though the 29-year-old appeared in 10 games last season, he did not record a single statistic on defense, spending most of his playing time on special teams. It's likely that Franklin will serve as depth in Denver's defensive backfield.

According to the NFL's Ian Rapoport, Georgia Bulldog linebacker Jalon Walker visited with the Cleveland Browns on Monday. Many believe the Browns will go with edge rusher Abdul Carter or wide receiver/defensive back hybrid Travis Hunter with their second-overall pick. However, it appears Cleveland is exhausting every avenue before they're officially on the clock, including Walker -- arguably the draft's top linebacker prospect. The North Carolina native is an explosive defender who could undoubtedly aid the Browns' defense in returning to their 2023 form. Fortunately for Cleveland, they'll have their pick of the litter, sans whom the Tennessee Titans select at one. Furthermore, they could go down a few different avenues of team improvement with their draft choice.

FOX Sports NFL insider Jordan Schultz reports that the Pittsburgh Steelers are hosting Colorado quarterback
Shedeur Sanders for a visit on Thursday. Schultz also notes that Pittsburgh remains "very interested" in veteran QB
Aaron Rodgers but has done extensive work on this year's slew of signal-callers. The Steelers hold the No. 21 pick. Sanders has been a polarizing prospect throughout the pre-draft process, linked to a few teams now, scattered throughout the first round. He was an accurate distributor in his senior season, posting career highs across the board, averaging 318.0 passing yards per game. It will be interesting to see how high the 23-year-old is selected and the situation he finds himself in. Sanders was often schemed open throws underneath last year at Colorado, contributing to his outstanding 74% completion rate. We'll see if he can elevate his play on the NFL field.

The Arizona Cardinals hosted Tennessee edge rusher James Pearce Jr. on Monday and plan to host Georgia edge rusher Mykel Williams on Wednesday, according to NFL insiders Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo. The Cardinals ranked 28th in pass rush win rate (33%) last season, and that is a clear area of need for the organization under head coach Jonathan Gannon. Pearce was a first-team All-SEC selection in 2023 and 2024 behind 17 sacks over the last two campaigns. Williams was a second-team All-SEC performer with 9.5 sacks over the same span. Both prospects present a high upside at the next level.

Four-time All-Pro safety Justin Simmons remains unsigned following the first month of NFL free agency, and the 31-year-old is in no rush to join a new team as he waits to find the right fit. Simmons signed with the Atlanta Falcons last August after spending eight seasons with the Denver Broncos, so a similar timeline could play out in 2025. Simmons has collected 665 tackles (478 solo), 4.5 sacks, five forced fumbles, three fumble recoveries, 32 interceptions, and 71 pass deflections since being selected in the third round of the 2016 NFL Draft out of Boston College. Simmons mentioned the Philadelphia Eagles as a potential landing spot thanks to his previous relationship with former Broncos head coach and current Eagles defensive coordinator Vic Fangio. Simmons hopes to sign before training camp, but he'll continue to wait for the right opportunity to continue his playing career into his 10th NFL season.

Colorado quarterback
Shedeur Sanders was once viewed as a potential top-five selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, but his stock has seemingly been falling over the last few weeks. Now, the New Orleans Saints, who hold the No. 9 pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, are listed by DraftKings with the best odds (+275) of taking Sanders among all NFL teams. In ESPN's Mel Kiper's latest mock draft on Tuesday, he has New Orleans pulling the trigger on Sanders in the nine-hole. While the Saints still have
Derek Carr on the roster, the search for the quarterback of the future could already be underway under new head coach Kellen Moore. Sanders, who threw for 4,134 yards, 37 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in his final collegiate season, could fit that bill. If he's taken by New Orleans, he'll likely spend at least a chunk of his rookie season on the bench.

The Detroit Lions have finished as a top-five total offense in each of the last three seasons under offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, who departed this offseason to become the head coach of the Chicago Bears. While there will certainly be changes under new play-caller John Morton, head coach Dan Campbell believes the team will not regress on the offensive side of the ball. "This is a Detroit Lion offense, is what it is. This offense is
Jared Goff, (Amon-Ra) St. Brown, (Jahmyr) Gibbs, (David) Montgomery," Campbell said. "It's Frank (Ragnow); it's (Penei) Sewell; it's (Taylor) Decker. I can keep (going). It's (
Jameson Williams). That's what we are. (The players are) the ones who make it what it is. That's our playbook, those guys." While there could be growing pains early in the season, Campbell is right, and the offense has plenty of talent across the entire starting lineup to continue to produce at a high level for fantasy football.

University of Michigan All-American cornerback Will Johnson (hamstring), who is considered one of the top cornerbacks in this year's draft class, will work out for NFL teams on Monday in Ann Arbor now that he's fully healed from a hamstring injury that he suffered in February, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Johnson will visit with the Las Vegas Raiders next Tuesday. The 22-year-old defensive back also suffered a foot injury last October, which is what caused him to skip workouts at the scouting combine. His hamstring injury was considered a minor one, so he should be ready to go for training camp this summer as he heads into his first NFL season. If he can prove he's at full health on Monday, Johnson should be the first cornerback to come off the board in the first round in the draft later this month.

Free-agent offensive tackle George Fant (knee) said that he will meet with Baltimore Ravens officials on Tuesday about a potential free-agent deal, according to The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec. The Ravens are in need of a swing tackle, and Fant has made 75 career starts and has experience at both left and right tackle. However, the 32-year-old veteran was limited to just two games in 2024 with the Seattle Seahawks due to knee injuries. If he lands in Baltimore, he'll serve as offensive-tackle depth. Fant originally went undrafted out of Western Kentucky before making his NFL debut back in 2016 with Seattle. After three seasons with the Seahawks, he played three years with the New York Jets before joining the Houston Texans in 2023. Fant has started 75 of the 101 games that he's appeared in over his eight NFL campaigns.

Washington State wide receiver
Kyle Williams is visiting with the Tennessee Titans on Tuesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Williams was a former teammate of Miami quarterback Cam Ward, who is tracking as Tennessee's pick at No. 1 overall in this year's NFL draft. Titans offensive coordinator Nick Holz was also Williams' offensive coordinator when he played at UNLV. It would make a lot of sense for the Titans to target the young pass-catcher with their second-round pick (No. 35 overall) to pair him with a familiar face in Ward. Tennessee added veteran
Van Jefferson in free agency this offseason, but they are certainly going to look to upgrade at the position behind WR1
Calvin Ridley in this year's draft. Williams has excellent run-after-the-catch ability and had 1,198 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns in his final college season in 2024.
