The Kansas City Chiefs signed 16 undrafted rookie free agents after the conclusion of the 2025 NFL draft last month. The names they added were wide receiver
Elijhah Badger (Florida), tight end
Jake Briningstool (Clemson), safety Will Brooks (Tennessee), offensive lineman Dalton Cooper (Oklahoma State), cornerback Jacobe Covington (USC), punter Eddie Czaplicki (USC), wide receiver
Mac Dalena (Fresno State), linebacker Brandon George (Pittsburgh), defensive tackle Coziah Izzard (Penn State), cornerback Kevin Knowles (Florida State), wide receiver
Justin Lockhart (San Jose State), defensive back Glendon Miller (Maryland), offensive tackle Esa Pole (Washington State), cornerback Melvin Smith Jr. (Southern Arkansas), tight end
Tre Watson (Texas A&M) and running back
Elijah Young (Western Kentucky). All the additions face an uphill battle to make the final 53- man roster, but they'll look to impress the coaching staff in training camp this summer.

The Green Bay Packers released wide receiver
Tulu Griffin, according to general manager Brian Gutekunst. Griffin will be looking to join a new organization after just signing a Reserve/Futures deal with the Packers back in January. However, the Packers needed to make a little room on their current roster after drafting both
Matthew Golden (first round) and
Savion Williams (third round) in last month's NFL draft. Griffin, who is a 24 years old, has yet to make his debut in the NFL after going undrafted out of Mississippi State in 2024.

The Arizona Cardinals signed free-agent tight end
Josiah Deguara to an undisclosed deal on Monday, according to AZCardinals.com's Zach Gershman. Deguara is heading into his sixth NFL season in 2025 after spending the 2024 campaign with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he caught all three of his targets for just 14 yards in 15 games (no starts). The former third-round pick (94th overall) by the Green Bay Packers in the 2020 NFL draft out of Cincinnati will provide tight end depth in Arizona behind starter
Trey McBride and backups
Tip Reiman and
Elijah Higgins. Deguara won't be anywhere near the fantasy radar and will most likely spend most of his time with the Cardinals working on special teams. As a tight end, he has accumulated 50 receptions on 61 targets for 450 yards and two touchdowns in his five NFL seasons over 65 games (10 starts).

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said on Monday that veteran safety Jimmie Ward (foot) is out of his walking boot and has been running after having offseason foot surgery. "Jimmie is doing fine," Ryans said. Ward suffered his foot injury in Week 16 in 2024 in his second year with the Texans and was unable to play again the rest of the way. The 33-year-old veteran recorded 48 tackles (32 solo), five tackles for loss, two interceptions (one returned for a touchdown) and four pass breakups in just 10 starts last year. The 11-year-old veteran has dealt with multiple injuries the last two years in Houston and has played in just 20 total games. It looks like Ward should be ready for the start of the 2025 regular season, but he can be avoided at the defensive back position in IDP fantasy formats. He was originally the 30th overall pick by the San Francisco 49ers in the first round in 2014 out of Northern Illinois.

Baltimore Ravens executive vice president and general manager Eric DeCosta revealed the team's release of veteran kicker
Justin Tucker in an official statement on X. Amid allegations of potential misconduct, the thirteen-year pro is out in Baltimore. The 35-year-old is currently still the league's most accurate kicker, though Kansas City's
Harrison Butker is hot on his heels and could overtake him. Before 2024, Tucker was seemingly a shoo-in for best kicker in fantasy, but things took a turn with the news of allegations against him. Never falling under an 82.3% success rate in a given season, his production cratered last year -- setting career-lows in makes and attempts (22-for-30) while missing two extra-point attempts for the first time since 2019. It's unclear what the outcome will be regarding his legal issues, nor if he'll find a job with another NFL team. It's an unfortunate instance that tarnishes a fantastic career.

Per the team, the Philadelphia Eagles have waived running back
Tyrion Davis-Price. The former San Francisco 49er spent his first two seasons in the league with the organization after they drafted him in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Davis-Price was productive in his final season at LSU, rushing for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns on 221 carries (4.8 YPC). However, he hasn't quite carved out a role at the NFL level. During his stint with San Francisco, the 24-year-old rushed 40 times for 120 yards (seven appearances), failing to catch either of his targets. In 2024, he suited up just once, toting three carries for seven yards. He may find some work on special teams, as Davis-Price possesses solid athleticism, but he doesn't figure to stick in an offense or make an impact for fantasy.

Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Los Angeles Rams are signing former Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver
Britain Covey to a one-year contract. He spent the first three seasons of his career with the Eagles after signing with them as an undrafted free agent back in 2022. The 28-year-old appeared in four games with Philadelphia last season, hauling in 7-of-8 targets for 34 yards, and returned six punts on special teams for another 46. He hasn't played many offensive snaps during his time in the league, but he's been a sure-handed short-area target (79% catch rate) and a viable asset in the return game. The Rams have three quality starting wideouts in
Puka Nacua,
Davante Adams, and
Tutu Atwell, so it seems unlikely Covey will make a mark in the offense, barring injuries. He should compete for snaps on special teams in 2025.

The Los Angeles Rams and quarterback
Matthew Stafford finally finalized terms on his new deal for the 2025 season, sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Stafford will earn $44 million this year, with $4 million already paid and the other $40 million fully guaranteed. The Rams were exploring the possibility of trading Stafford this offseason, but instead the two sides worked something out to keep him in L.A. for at least one more season. The 37-year-old two-time Pro Bowler threw for 3,762 yards, 20 touchdowns and eight interceptions in 16 regular-season starts but had the Rams peaking in the postseason, and they almost pulled off the upset over the eventual Super Bowl-champion Eagles in the playoffs. Although Stafford makes the Rams a Super Bowl contender and he was much better down the stretch, he wasn't even a top-15 fantasy QB in 2024. Consider him as no more than a midrange QB2 in fantasy.

The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Sunday that they signed undrafted free-agent wide receiver
Giles Jackson and waived running back
Tyrion Davis-Price. Jackson impressed the Eagles enough during a tryout at rookie minicamp this week to get a further look from the team at training camp this summer. He spent the last three seasons in college at Washington and caught 85 passes for 893 yards and seven touchdowns in his final year in 2024 for the Huskies. Jackson will join
Taylor Morin and
Darius Cooper as undrafted rookie free agents that the Eagles have added to their roster this offseason. All three pass-catchers will compete for a 53-man roster spot this summer as depth behind
A.J. Brown,
DeVonta Smith,
Jahan Dotson and
Johnny Wilson.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that kicker
Justin Tucker has been in the team's building and has been working out. From the coaching end, Harbaugh said all kicking decisions regarding Tucker and rookie
Tyler Loop will be based purely on football since the team is still waiting on the results of the league's investigation of Tucker. The 35-year-old veteran's career and tenure with Baltimore hangs in the balance this offseason due to numerous allegations of sexual misconduct. In addition to that off-the-field issue hanging over his head, Tucker hasn't been the elite kicker we're used to seeing in the last couple of seasons. The seven-time Pro Bowler and five-time All-Pro made a career-low 73.3% of his 30 field-goal attempts in 17 regular-season games in 2024. Even if he sticks with the Ravens, a lengthy suspension could be coming his way in 2025.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that wide receiver
Zay Flowers (knee) ended up not needing surgery for his knee this offseason. Flowers sprained his right knee in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Cleveland Browns and wasn't able to play in either of the team's postseason games as a results. The 24-year-old former 22nd overall pick in 2023 out of Boston College should now be fully ready for the start of the 2025 season this fall, but we'll keep a close eye on his progress once training camp gets underway in late July. Flowers earned Pro Bowl recognition in 2024 in his second year in the league after catching 74 passes for 1,059 yards and four touchdowns on 116 targets over 17 games (15 starts). He has been the team's WR1 since being drafted in the first round and has plenty of elusiveness and speed, but he's more of a low-end WR2/high-end WR3 in fantasy in a run-first offense.

Washington D.C. will host the NFL draft in 2027 on the National Mall, where the Washington Monument stands, a source told The Washington Post's Mark Maske. An official announcement is expected to come Monday at the White House. The draft will be held in Pittsburgh next year in 2026. This will be the first time that Washington has hosted an NFL draft. After owner Josh Harris bought the Commanders franchise in July of 2023, the team went from 4-13 in his first year to 12-5 and in the NFC Championship game this past season under first-year general manager Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn. Washington announced a deal on April 28 that would bring the organization back to the stadium it called home from 1961-96, but the nearly $4 million deal for a new stadium still must be approved by the D.C. council.

Kansas City Chiefs rookie first-round offensive tackle Josh Simmons (knee) signed his four-year, fully-guaranteed contract worth $14,675,353 on Sunday, according to his agents, Drew Rosenhaus, Robert Bailey and Oliver Chell. If not for tearing his patellar tendon in Week 7 of the 2024 season with Ohio State, Simmons was expected to be a top-10 pick in this year's NFL draft. Instead, the Chiefs were able to snag him with the 32nd and final pick in the first round.
Jaylon Moore is expected to serve as KC's starting left tackle and blind-side protector for
Patrick Mahomes to start the 2025 campaign, but the 22-year-old Simmons should be the team's long-term plan at left tackle once he's fully recovered from his knee injury. Simmons, who stands at 6-foot-5, 317 pounds, has the skills to be a difference-maker for the Chiefs' offensive line for years to come.
