The Denver Broncos signed free-agent tight end
Cole Fotheringham, wide receiver Kyrese White and inside linebacker Jordan Turner after their rookie minicamp over the weekend, according to the team. The team also signed log snapper Zach Triner, who joined the team in April but was released ahead of rookie minicamp. In corresponding moves, the Broncos waived cornerback Kendall Bohler, nose tackle Christian Dowell, linebacker K.J. Cloyd and tight end
Thomas Yassmin. Rookie punter Jeremy Crenshaw was placed on the exempt/international player list and won't count against the team's 90-man roster limit. Fotheringham has one career catch with the Raiders and also spent time on Houston's practice squad in 2024. White caught 44 passes for 526 yards and three touchdowns in 12 starts in his final season at Utah State last year. They will battle for 53-man roster spots this summer.

Cornerback Asante Samuel Jr. (neck) is one of the top free-cornerbacks in this year's class, but he's still waiting to sign with a new team after he had neck surgery in April, sources told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Samuel visited with the New Orleans Saints on Monday. The 25-year-old defensive back has a checkup scheduled in early July, after which he'll reconvene with several interested teams. Samuel plans on returning to the field in 2025 after making just four starts with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2024 due to neck and shoulder injuries. The former second-rounder (47th overall) in 2021 out of Florida State has 176 tackles (148 solo), six interceptions, 37 pass breakups and a fumble recovery in 50 regular-season games (47 starts) for the Bolts since entering the league in 2021. He should definitely latch on with a new team before training camp in July.

The Denver Broncos will travel to Kansas City to face the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas Day in 2025 on Prime Video in Week 17. The game could come with plenty of playoff implications late in the season. The Chiefs have dominated the AFC West in the last decade, winning nine straight division titles from 2016 to 2026, but the Broncos are looking to change that this year with head coach Sean Payton and second-year quarterback
Bo Nix, who led the team to the postseason in 2024 for the first time since 2015. The Chiefs narrowly beat the Broncos in Kansas City a year ago on a blocked field goal before the Broncos beat KC in a blowout in the Week 18 regular-season finale when the Chiefs rested all of their starters before the playoffs.

The San Francisco 49ers are hosting former Jacksonville Jaguars and Buffalo Bills free-agent wide receiver
Gabe Davis (knee) on a visit on Monday, a source tells FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. The Jaguars released Davis with a failed-physical designation last Wednesday. The 26-year-old continues to recover from the knee injury he dealt with in 2024, but he's expected to be fully healthy for the 2025 regular season. Davis was a disappointment for the Jags and fantasy managers a year ago, as he set career-lows in catches (20), targets (42), receiving yards (239) and touchdowns (two) while playing only 10 games (nine starts). He should be able to bounce back if healthy, though, and he'd provide the Niners with a field-stretching presence in the passing game with
Brandon Aiyuk (knee) potentially not being ready for the start of the year. Still, Davis would be a volatile boom/bust fantasy receiver in San Fran.

The Cleveland Browns placed linebacker Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (neck) on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Monday, meaning he will miss the entire 2025 season due to a serious neck injury that caused him to miss the team's final nine games last year. Before his injury, the 25-year-old former second-round pick (52nd overall) in 2021 out of Notre Dame had 61 tackles (39 solo), three sacks, 10 tackles for loss, an interception and a forced fumble in eight starts for the Browns. It's a tough blow for Cleveland's defense, as Owusu-Koramoah had been a key member of their defensive unit the last two years, including his first Pro Bowl nod in 2023, when he had a career-high 101 tackles (72 solo), 3.5 sacks, 20 tackles for loss, five QB hits, two interceptions, six pass breakups and a forced fumble in 16 games (13 starts).

The Athletic's Jon Machota doesn't think Dallas Cowboys offensive tackle Asim Richards will beat out Terence Steele for the starting right-tackle spot this year. The coaching staff is much higher on Steele than the fans are, and he'll get every opportunity to stick as the team's starting right tackle. Machota predicts the Cowboys' starting offensive line this year to be Tyler Guyton at left tackle, Tyler Smith at left guard, Cooper Beebe at center, rookie first-rounder Tyler Booker at right guard and Steele at right tackle. The 27-year-old Steele has spent all five of his NFL seasons with the Cowboys since entering the league as an undrafted free agent out of Texas Tech, and he's started all but five of his 79 games played in the NFL with Dallas.

SNY's Connor Hughes says not to be surprised if New York Giants rookie running back
Cam Skattebo ends up being the team's third-down back in 2025. Skattebo is a capable blocker and was very good as a receiver out of the backfield for Arizona State in 2024. The 23-year-old's dad was a receiver and used to drill him on the fundamentals of route-running, so he could already be the team's most talented pass-catching back. Hughes also writes that there were comparisons after the NFL draft of
Tyrone Tracy Jr. and Skattebo recreating the team's old backfield of Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs. Skattebo is stocky at 5-foot-9, but he's not the physical back that Jacobs was. The fourth-rounder has unique fantasy upside as a potential powerful workhorse down the road, but the presence of Tracy might make him fantasy relevant only in PPR leagues in 2025.

New York Giants rookie first-round pass-rusher Abdul Carter was being worked out at linebacker during the team's rookie minicamp over the weekend during individual periods. However, the Giants plan on using Carter everywhere -- at edge rusher, inside, and dropping back -- according to SNY's Connor Hughes. The 21-year-old has impressive and elite physical gifts, so the G-Men plan on using him in as many ways as they can to maximize his potential after taking him third overall in this year's NFL draft out of Penn State. Carter could become a force in IDP fantasy leagues sooner than later for a Giants pass-rush that already features Brian Burns and Kayvon Thibodeaux. In his final season with the Nittany Lions, Carter racked up 12 sacks and a whopping 23.5 tackles for loss, showing just how disruptive he can be in the backfield.

SNY's Connor Hughes writes that rookie first-round quarterback
Jaxson Dart looked comfortable, confident and in control during rookie minicamp over the weekend. Dart didn't look unsure of himself or jittery when deciding to make passes, which impressed Hughes. The Ole Miss product has a unique throwing motion, but that doesn't mean he's lacking in arm talent. Most of his passes at minicamp were within 15 yards of the line of scrimmage and they were impressive fastballs. Dart had two good days in a row in minicamp, which is good, but it should be taken with a grain of salt this early in the offseason. The 21-year-old is hoping to become New York's next franchise signal-caller, but after the Giants added both
Russell Wilson and
Jameis Winston in free agency this offseason, Dart is fully expected to sit and learn in his rookie season in 2025.

Cincinnati Bengals All-Pro pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson said there hasn't been any communication with the team regarding a potential long-term contract extension "between my camp and the organization post draft." "The offers prior to the draft did not reflect the vision we shared and were promised last offseason if I continued to play at a high level. Coaches are aware of these past conversations. Rather than using collaboration to get us to a point to bring me home to the team, THEY are no longer communicating. I have been eagerly awaiting a resolution of this situation, but that's hard to do when there is no discussion and an evident lack of interest in reaching mutual goals," Hendrickson said in a statement. The Bengals continue to say they want to bring the 30-year-old back as he enters the final year of his current deal, but they've done nothing to back that up. It appears Hendrickson is running out of patience.

The Kansas City Chiefs and Los Angeles Chargers are set to face off in a divisional showdown in Sao Paulo, Brazil, in Week 1 of the 2025 regular season this fall on Friday, Sept. 5, according to Front Office Sports' Eric Fisher. The NFL is closing in on a deal with YouTube to have the game streamed for free, with the game likely to set new a new streaming record. The game will pit rising young quarterbacks
Patrick Mahomes and
Justin Herbert against each other in an intriguing divisional battle early in the season. The Chiefs are looking to bounce back after being dismantled in the Super Bowl by the Philadelphia Eagles, while the Chargers will be hoping to get the bad taste out of their mouth from their early-round playoff loss to the Houston Texans.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers signed former Iowa linebacker Nick Jackson on Sunday as an undrafted rookie free agent, according to FOX Sports' Greg Auman. Jackson impressed the coaching staff enough during his tryout with the team during their rookie minicamp to land a deal. The 24-year-old played at Virginia before transferring to Iowa and had 555 career tackles in 73 college games. Jackson had only 91 tackles in 2024 after recording 100-plus tackles at the collegiate level in four straight years from 2020 to 2023. He will now be competing for a 53-man roster spot this offseason and during training camp this summer with the Buccaneers.

The Atlanta Falcons signed rookie first-round edge rusher James Pearce Jr. to a four-year, fully guaranteed deal on Monday, a source told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. The Falcons made a big trade back up -- they gave up a second-rounder this year and a first-rounder next year -- into the first round of this year's draft to take Pearce with the 26th overall pick to help bolster the defensive side of the ball. The team also took linebacker Jalon Walker at 15th overall. Pearce was originally a potential top-five draft pick before he underwhelmed a bit in his senior season at Tennessee with 7.5 sacks. His size is a question mark for an outside edge rusher, but Pearce's athleticism isn't in question. The Falcons are hoping their selections of both Pearce and Walker pay off immediately and boost their pass rush in 2025.
