The New York Jets signed former Chicago Bears Pro Bowl cornerback Nahshon Wright to a one-year deal worth up to $5.5 million on Tuesday, sources told Jordan Schultz of FOX Sports. Wright will head to Gang Green to try to help their secondary after having a monster 2025 campaign with the Bears. The 27-year-old former third-round pick by the Dallas Cowboys in 2021 out of Oregon State had by far the best season of his career, tallying 80 tackles (54 solo), a career-high five interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), 11 pass breakups, two forced fumbles, and three fumble recoveries in 17 regular-season games played. Wright should be a starter on the outside for the Jets in his first year with the team under head coach Aaron Glenn. In his first four NFL seasons with Dallas and Minnesota (one year), Wright only had 37 tackles (27 solo), one interception, and five pass breakups. He came out of nowhere to finish as the No. 3 defensive back in fantasy points in IDP leagues.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver
Brian Thomas Jr.'s name has been floated around this offseason as a possibility of being traded after his down year in 2025, but the Jaguars don't seem to be interested in dealing him. "I've been told that the Jaguars aren't interested in trading Brian Thomas. His name continues to be floated out there, but the Jaguars have no interest in moving on from him," ESPN's Adam Schefter said on the Pat McAfee Show on Tuesday. There was some speculation that the New York Jets had interest in acquiring the 23-year-old former 23rd overall pick from LSU. A move to New York would be really bad news for Thomas' fantasy managers in dynasty/keeper leagues. Thomas was a Pro Bowler in 2024, catching a whopping 87 passes for 1,282 yards and 10 touchdowns in 17 games, but he had a disappointing 48-707-2 line in 2025 in Year 2. Staying in Jacksonville might not be the worst thing for Thomas, but his fantasy ceiling will certainly be limited with Meyers in the picture and
Parker Washington also looking for a bigger role.

Updating a previous report, the New England Patriots' free-agent signing of wide receiver
Romeo Doubs on Tuesday "does not end their interest in trading" for Philadelphia Eagles receiver
A.J. Brown, according to the NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe. The Patriots aren't in as much of a rush now for a pass-catcher, and it might mean they don't end up acquiring him because of the Eagles' high asking price, but Wolfe says that they "still love" Brown. The Patriots signed Doubs to a four-year, $80 million contract, but they might not be fully sold on his ability to replace veteran
Stefon Diggs as the WR1 for quarterback
Drake Maye in 2026. The problem is that Philly doesn't have to trade Brown, and they certainly aren't going to give out a discount for a 28-year-old who has six 1,000-yard seasons in his seven years in the league. The three-time Pro Bowler would certainly have a more optimistic fantasy outlook if he were to join New England after he had a career-low 12.9 yards per catch in 2025.

The NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe reports that when Atlanta Falcons quarterback
Michael Penix Jr. (knee) recovers from his torn ACL, it will be an "open competition" at QB between Penix and
Tua Tagovailoa. Both signal-callers have struggled to stay healthy -- Penix with three torn ACLs and Tagovailoa with multiple serious concussions -- but Tagovailoa has more experience and a Pro Bowl nod under his belt in his six years in the NFL. The former fifth overall pick out of Alabama led the league in passing yards in 2023, but has struggled the last two seasons and has failed to top the 3,000-yard mark. It's low risk for the Falcons since Tagovailoa will be on a veteran's minimum in 2026, and it gives the team a chance to push Penix once he's healthy and ready to go. The problem for Penix is that if he's not physically ready to play to begin the season and Tagovailoa looks good as the starter, he might not have a chance to win the job back. It will be an interesting battle to watch later this summer in an offense with plenty of weapons now being run by a bright offensive mind in Kevin Stefanski.

The Kansas City Chiefs re-signed wide receiver
Tyquan Thornton to a two-year, $11 million deal on Monday night, and ESPN's Nate Taylor thinks the Chiefs "should be able to offer him more snaps and more opportunities." The 25-year-old was one of KC's best receivers in 2025, especially early on when both
Xavier Worthy (shoulder) and
Rashee Rice (suspension) were out. Thornton had a career-high 438 receiving yards and three touchdowns on 19 catches in his first year working with quarterback
Patrick Mahomes. "He's the GOAT in my eyes, man," Thornton said of Mahomes. "He's a competitor, and he makes me so much better. It was an honor to go out there and catch those passes from him." As things currently stand, Thornton looks like the WR3 behind Rice and Worthy. His big-play potential is intriguing, though, as a late-round flier in what should be an improved Chiefs offense.

ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques writes that Miami Dolphins tight end
Greg Dulcich "should figure heavily" in the team's passing game in 2026 under new head coach Jeff Hafley. Dulcich didn't make his debut for the Dolphins last year until October, but he managed to be one of the club's bright spots, catching 26 passes for 335 yards and a touchdown on 33 targets in 10 games (three starts). Believe it or not, he was Miami's third-leading receiver. He also quietly led all tight ends in average yards after the catch (7.6) and yards per target (10.2) while finishing third in yards per catch (12.9). Quarterback
Malik Davis will be running the Dolphins' offense going forward, giving Dulcich some real deep sleeper potential at the TE position going into the 2026 season if they don't re-sign veteran
Darren Waller. Injuries have slowed the former third-rounder by the Broncos in 2022, as he's yet to play over 10 games in a season in his four years.

The Carolina Panthers re-signed wide receiver
David Moore to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday, according to Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer. Moore only played in four games for the Panthers in 2025 in his second year with the team, catching his only target for five yards. The 31-year-old former seventh-round selection by the Seattle Seahawks in 2017 out of East Central totaled 32 receptions on a career-high 57 targets for 351 yards and three touchdowns in 17 games played in his first year in Carolina in 2024. Moore will return to provide depth for Carolina's wide receiver room, but he can pretty much be ignored in all fantasy formats going into his ninth NFL season. Moore has never gone over 35 receptions, 445 receiving yards, or six touchdowns in a single year in his NFL career.

The San Francisco 49ers added former New England Patriots swing tackle Vederian Lowe in free agency for two years and $12 million. Lowe is "not a replacement" for Trent Williams, though, according to Vic Tafur and Matt Barrows of The Athletic. The 6-foot-5, 315-pounder started four games at left tackle last season for New England and has 25 starts in the last three seasons. Williams continues to butt heads with the 49ers on his contract, which is scheduled to count $38 million against the 2026 salary cap. The 49ers must figure out what to do with Williams before March 20, when he's due a $10 million option bonus. There's a chance the 49ers opt to trade him, but only then would Lowe be a potential starter at left tackle for San Francisco. The Williams situation is one to watch, as it could drastically impact their O-line and quarterback
Brock Purdy.

The San Francisco 49ers have interest in re-signing running back
Brian Robinson Jr., according to Vic Tafur and Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Robinson had a solid season in the Bay Area as the backup behind
Christian McCaffrey in his first year with the team in 2025, even though he had a career-low 400 rushing yards and only two touchdowns on 92 carries over 17 regular-season games. In his first three NFL campaigns with the Washington Commanders, the 26-year-old former third-round pick out of Alabama had at least 733 rushing yards out of the backfield. B-Rob's best chance for a rebound in fantasy would be to sign elsewhere, but another injury to CMC would also thrust Robinson into a significant backfield role in one of the better offenses in the league if he re-signs. Robinson didn't have over 10 carries in a single game last year with McCaffrey staying healthy all year.

The Seattle Seahawks let Super Bowl MVP running back
Kenneth Walker III walk in free agency to the Kansas City Chiefs.
Zach Charbonnet (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the playoffs in January and might not be ready for the start of the 2026 regular season, which is why The Athletic's Michael-Shawn Dugar believes the Seahawks will "probably" draft a RB in April with one of their first three picks at Nos. 32, 64, or 96. The Seahawks have a history of valuing the RB position more in the draft than in free agency, too. The Athletic's Dane Brugler recently mocked Notre Dame running back
Jadarian Price to Seattle with the No. 64 overall pick. Depending on who the Seahawks pick up at RB in the draft and Charbonnet's early-season status, incumbent
George Holani could be a sleeper for playing time as the Seahawks look to defend their title in 2026.

The Athletic's Michael-Shawn Dugar writes that Seattle Seahawks wide receiver
Rashid Shaheed's new deal "suggests a demotion" for
Cooper Kupp, who turns 33 years old in June. Last year, Kupp was second on the team in targets (70) and receiving yards (593), and third in catches (47). His 2026 salary cap hit sits at $17.4 million, fourth-highest on the team behind
Sam Darnold, Leonard Williams, and Uchenna Nwosu. One of either Shaheed or Kupp will end up being a pricey WR3, and the team still has second-year wideout
Tory Horton. If the Seahawks were to trade Kupp, they'd save around $9.4 million in 2026. Kupp led the NFL in catches (145), targets (191), receiving yards (1,947), and touchdowns (16) in 2021 with the Los Angeles Rams, but he's steadily declined since then. He caught only two touchdown passes in 16 regular-season games in 2025 and might have an even smaller role in his 10th year in the NFL if he stays in Seattle.

Retired All-Pro wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. believes that new Atlanta Falcons wide receiver
Jahan Dotson "has developed enough" to handle the No. 2 receiver role behind
Drake London, according to Josh Kendall of The Athletic. The Falcons have released
Darnell Mooney and
KhaDarel Hodge, leaving only London,
Casey Washington, and
Deven Thompkins under contract in 2026. In addition to Dotson, the Falcons signed
Olamide Zaccheaus on Monday. The 25-year-old former 16th overall pick by the Washington Commanders in 2022 out of Penn State only has 1,519 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns on 121 catches in his first four NFL seasons with the Commanders and Philadelphia Eagles, but his speed means he'll be "expected to play the field-stretcher role" that was handled the last two years by Mooney. Given Atlanta's big question mark at quarterback, Dotson figures to be a boom/bust WR4/5, at best, in fantasy in 2026.

Former Indianapolis Colts offensive tackle Braden Smith is signing with the Houston Texans on Tuesday on a two-year, $25 million deal, sources told Dianna Russini of The Athletic. Smith was drafted in the second round by the Colts in 2018 out of Auburn. The 29-year-old right tackle started 105 of the 107 games he appeared in over his eight seasons with the Colts. Smith has trended down the last two seasons and finished last year on Injured Reserve due to a concussion and neck injury. Still, the Texans are hoping he can be an upgrade at right tackle next season over Trent Brown. Houston's offensive line was a liability last year. Pass protection isn't Smith's specialty, but he should at least be competent as a run-blocker if he can stay healthy in his new digs in Houston.

NFL Network's Cameron Wolfe says that he was told that the New England Patriots' talks regarding Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver
A.J. Brown "aren't dead yet." The Eagles' asking price for Brown is "still very high," and it's unclear if anything changes on that front after New England signed former Green Bay Packers wideout
Romeo Doubs to a four-year deal on Tuesday. Right now, there isn't much common ground between the Patriots and Eagles on any potential deal for the 28-year-old Brown. Doubs goes a long way to help replace veteran
Stefon Diggs, who was released recently, but it wouldn't be a surprise if the Patriots still want an alpha No. 1 receiver like Brown. The three-time Pro Bowler had his fourth straight 1,000-yard season with the Eagles in 2025, although he wasn't happy with his role in the offense, and he had a career-low 12.9 yards per catch in his seventh year in the league.

The Dallas Cowboys restructured defensive tackle Kenny Clark's deal on Tuesday, turning his $11 million roster bonus due next week into a signing bonus to open up around $8.8 million in salary cap space for this year, sources told Todd Archer of ESPN. The Cowboys acquired Clark and two first-round picks last year from the Green Bay Packers in exchange for All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons (knee). In his first year in Dallas, the 30-year-old veteran and three-time Pro Bowler had 36 tackles (17 solo), three sacks, six tackles for loss, and nine QB hits in 17 starts. The Cowboys haven't really made a big splash in free agency yet this week, but their restructuring of Clark's contract could be a sign that they are about to do something. They were interested in trading for All-Pro pass-rusher Maxx Crosby before he was dealt to the Ravens, and they've been connected to impending free-agent pass-rusher Trey Hendrickson as well.
