The Tennessee Titans have been pleased with rookie first-round quarterback
Cam Ward's progress this offseason as he learns the offense. "Pleased with where he's at," head coach Brian Callahan said. The head coach also said that Ward is picking things up pretty quickly as far as the mental part of the transition to the NFL. Although the 23-year-old first overall pick has been splitting reps evenly with
Will Levis during offseason workouts, Ward is fully expected to win the starting QB job going into the 2025 regular season this fall. The Miami product has high-end arm strength and set an NCAA record with 158 career touchdown passes. There's plenty to like about Ward long term, but he's not much of a scrambler, and the Titans don't have a ton of weapons for him to be much more than a low-end QB2 with upside in fantasy in his rookie season.

SI.com's Albert Breer thinks that Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey's value now is at safety. Ramsey can still be a very good cornerback, but any team looking to trade for the veteran defensive back is likely looking to move him to safety in the long term. "I think that's a safe landing spot to put him in position to still do things that he does well," said an NFC executive. "So that's like a $10 million to $12 million player." The former All-Pro has $21.1 million left on his deal for 2025, which means the Dolphins might have to eat some money to facilitate a trade this offseason. And now that June 1 has passed, it will be easier from a salary cap perspective for the Dolphins to trade Ramsey. If feels inevitable at this point that Ramsey will be in a different uniform for the 2025 season, with a return to the Los Angeles Rams being in play.

The Atlanta Falcons are completely focused on developing former first-round quarterback
Michael Penix Jr., according to SI.com's Albert Breer. Last year, the Falcons were locked into having veteran
Kirk Cousins under center, but now they are putting their offense together in a way that will best fit Penix. The 25-year-old second-year signal-caller has proven to be an even faster learner than was expected when he was drafted. He has been working to get his footwork synced up, his base widened and his eyes upfield, while coaches also want Penix working to create ways to take advantage of his high-end arm talent. Atlanta added slow-developing, play-action concepts to take advantage of Penix's ability to create explosive plays down the field, and they've also expanded their perimeter passing game. The coaches and players are behind Penix, who will be an attractive QB2 with upside in superflex leagues in 2025.

The New England Patriots have no plans to release wide receiver
Stefon Diggs (knee), according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Diggs showed up for voluntary organized team activities this week in light of recent negative off-the-field publicity, and the Patriots have high hopes for him this year despite the fact he tore his ACL in Week 8 last year with the Houston Texans. After signing a three-year, $69 million deal in free agency, New England envisions the 31-year-old veteran being the WR1 for second-year quarterback
Drake Maye when he's fully healthy. Diggs has been practicing without a brace this offseason and appears to be on track in his recovery from a torn ACL. On the wrong side and coming off major knee surgery, Diggs probably won't be all that explosive deep down the field with the Pats, but he could still be valuable as an every-week fantasy starter on volume as Maye's go-to aerial target.

The Philadelphia Eagles have signed undrafted free agent offensive lineman Marcus Tate to a three-year, $2.96 million contract. Tate appeared in 42 games (37 starts) at Clemson and spent time at left guard and both left and right tackle. In 2021, he became the third true freshman offensive lineman in Clemson history to start the season's first game and was a second-team All-ACC selection in 2024. He's one of just 28 Tigers in history to play over 2,500 career snaps. Tate is currently slotted in at guard on the team's unofficial depth chart behind teammates Tyler Steen and Matt Pryor. Injuries held the Florida native back during his college career, but a four-year starter with good size is another brilliant addition for a savvy Eagles squad.

Per Dan Salomone of Giants.com, the New York Giants have signed rookie third-round pick defensive lineman Darius Alexander to a four-year contract. The financial details were not disclosed. Alexander is the sixth of seven rookies to sign their deal with New York. The 24-year-old didn't produce much during his time at Toledo, but he's uber-athletic for his frame and could be a nice rotational piece for the Giants' defensive line. Despite being drafted as a defensive tackle, he's currently listed second on the depth chart (unofficially) behind Roy Robertson-Harris at defensive end. New York sports one of the more loaded edge-rush units in the league, and a deep room of fresh legs can only boost their chances to be a dominant group. They posted the ninth-most sacks in the league as a team in 2024 (45).

Washington Commanders offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury noted via the team's transcript last week that running back
Brian Robinson Jr.'s focus this offseason has been "great." "Yeah, he's been really focused," said Kingsbury. "B-Rob's a guy who has played an incredibly high level....He knows what this year means to him and can mean to us when he plays at that level." The Commanders invested in their offense heavily this offseason -- fortifying their offensive front and the weapons around budding superstar
Jayden Daniels. However, the running back room went essentially unchanged aside from the addition of seventh-round teammate
Jacory Croskey-Merritt. Backfield mate
Austin Ekeler will siphon away some touches, but the Alabama product should receive strong volume this season. It will be interesting to see how the team deploys
Deebo Samuel Sr., but if he doesn't absorb too many carries, Robinson Jr. should provide decent value.

Veteran defensive back Ronald Darby has announced his retirement from the NFL after 10 seasons. The Florida State product informed the Houston Texans on Monday. Darby was a second-round pick by the Buffalo Bills back in 2015 and had stints with the Eagles, Commanders, Broncos, Ravens, and Jaguars. He signed with Houston in March. In all, he played in 118 games and will finish his career with eight interceptions, 106 passes defended, and 447 tackles. The 31-year-old was set to back up the starting cornerback duo of Kamari Lassiter and Derek Stingley Jr. His absence will leave Houston's defensive backfield a bit short-handed. Darby started 107 games in his career, while Houston's other non-starters cumulatively bolster 25. We'll see how the roster shakes out once it's trimmed down.

With trade speculation surrounding Jacksonville Jaguars running back
Travis Etienne Jr. this offseason, new head coach Liam Coen had nothing but positive things to say about the 26-year-old former first-rounder. When asked about Etienne's performance at OTAs this offseason, Coen said "(Travis) has done everything we've asked him to do and more... I don't understand some of the stuff I've seen out there, that's absolutely inaccurate." The Jags took rookie Bayshul Tuten in the fourth round of April's NFL draft, and then a report surfaced in May that the team wasn't very high on Etienne, which in turn led to trade rumors. Etienne had a second straight down year in 2025, carrying the ball 150 times for 558 yards and two touchdowns in 15 games. Even if he sticks around in Jacksonville, Etienne's fantasy stock is down, and he could lose more work to Tuten and
Tank Bigsby.

Rams Wire's Cameron DaSilva reports that the Los Angeles Rams tried to trade up in the first round of April's NFL draft to take wide receiver
Tetairoa McMillan, who ultimately was taken by the Carolina Panthers at No. 8 overall. A trade never materialized for the Rams, and they ended up trading back to No. 46 overall and out of the first round entirely. DaSilva writes that the Panthers entertained offers for the pick for teams looking at McMillan, but they were never serious about giving up the pick unless they received a king's ransom. L.A. likely would have had to give up their No. 26 pick, a future first-rounder and likely one of their third-round picks. Instead, the Rams acquired a 2026 first-rounder in their trade back with Atlanta. The Rams only took one receiver in the draft,
Konata Mumpfield, in the seventh round out of Akron.

Detroit Lions All-Pro center Frank Ragnow announced his retirement from professional football on his Instagram account on Monday. Ragnow will wrap up his NFL career after playing just seven seasons for Detroit after they selected him with the 20th overall pick in 2018 out of Arkansas. The 29-year-old offensive lineman was a Pro Bowler four times, including each of the last three seasons. Ragnow will finish his NFL career having started all 96 games that he appeared in over his seven campaigns. He started in at least 14 games for the Lions in six of his seven seasons. Now that Ragnow is officially retiring, second-round rookie offensive lineman Tate Ratledge could jump into starting center duties in 2025. Ragnow's retirement is certainly bad news for veteran quarterback
Jared Goff.

New England Patriots wide receiver
Stefon Diggs (knee) is present for voluntary organized team activities on Monday, according to offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels. There were some rumors over the weekend that the Patriots have been considering cutting Diggs because of some off-field issues, but that's all just speculation. On top of it, the 31-year-old veteran is recovering from a torn right ACL that he suffered on Oct. 27 of last year. There's a chance that Diggs isn't ready to go for the start of his first season in New England, but he was practicing without a brace on his surgically repaired knee last week at OTAs. Diggs' fantasy football situation is volatile right now, to put it mildly, as he could begin training camp on the Physically Unable to Perform if he's still on the team by then. Eventually, he's expected to be the WR1 for second-year quarterback
Drake Maye if he remains on the team.
