3 mins agoCarolina Panthers kicker Zane Gonzalez has been released by the organization. This is odd timing considering the Panthers recently said they were going to stick with Gonzalez. Now, they've re-signed kicker Eddy Pineiro to a two-year deal and parted ways with Gonzalez. The 27-year-old missed all of last season due to a groin issue. Gonzalez has five years of experience under his belt, so he should be able to find another opportunity. However, his career 80.5 field goal percentage doesn't scream reliable kicker. Gonzalez should get a chance with another organization to at least prove himself in camp.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Charlotte Observer

10 mins agoArizona Cardinals quarterback David Blough has re-signed with the organization. Blough spent time with three different organizations last season. However, he ended the season with the Cardinals and even made two starts for the team. He completed 38-of-58 passes for 402 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in those two starts. Blough has made a total of nine appearances in his four seasons in the league. The 27-year-old is expected to compete for a spot on the 53-man roster in training camp.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Darren Urban

15 mins agoThe Philadelphia Eagles have agreed on a deal with free-agent defensive back Terrell Edmunds. He's a former first round pick who has spent the last five seasons as a starter with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The expectation is that Edmunds is going to fill the vacant spot left by C.J. Gardner-Johnson who signed with the Detroit Lions. Edmunds is a durable and fairly reliable defensive back. He has played 15 games or more in each of his first five seasons. Edmunds isn't the best in pass coverage, but a serviceable option on a one-year deal.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Ian Rapoport

22 mins agoKansas City Chiefs tight end Blake Bell has re-signed with the organization. The veteran tight end will enter his fourth season with the team. Bell has been mainly a backup throughout his career, which is what he'll remain in Kansas City. The 31-year-old has 60 receptions, 641 yards, and one touchdown through eight seasons in the league. He'll be battling for a backup role alongside Jody Fortson and Noah Gray. There is no reason to believe Bell will have fantasy value next season.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Ian Rapoport

46 mins agoThe Carolina Panthers have agreed on a deal with wide receiver DJ Chark. The two sides have comes to terms on a one-year deal. Chark spent his 2022 season with the Detroit Lions, but it didn't go as planned. He finished with 30 receptions, 502 yards, and three touchdowns in 11 games last season. Despite that, Chark has proven to be a reliable option earlier in his career. He'll be a nice addition to put alongside Adam Thielen as the Panthers attempt to recover from the departure of DJ Moore. The move to Carolina should help Chark's value, but he probably won't be anything more than a low-end WR3.--Andy Webb - RotoBallerSource: Ian Rapoport

2 hours agoThe Baltimore Ravens agreed to a one-year, $3.25 million deal with free-agent wide receiver Nelson Agholor on Friday, according to a source. Agholor will have another $3 million available in incentives as part of the deal. A first-round pick back in 2015, Agholor has underwhelmed in his eight NFL seasons and has yet to reach the 1,000-yard mark heading into 2023. That's unlikely to happen in Baltimore, even if quarterback Lamar Jackson sticks around, although he should have a bigger role than what he saw in 2022 with the New England Patriots, when he caught 31 of his 53 targets for just 362 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games (seven starts). As of right now, the 29-year-old profiles as the No. 2 behind Rashod Bateman, but the Ravens could also add receiving talent through the upcoming draft.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: The Athletic - Jeff Zrebiec

2 hours agoFree-agent wide receiver DeAndre Carter is visiting the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday, according to a source. Carter is coming off career-highs in catches (46), targets (65) and receiving yards (538) in 2022 with the Los Angeles Chargers in 17 games (seven starts), and he also tied his previous career-high with three touchdowns. The 29-year-old also played a vital role for the Bolts' special teams unit last year. His free-agent market is beginning to heat up, with several other teams in the mix as well. The Raiders already have a strong top three receivers in Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers and Hunter Renfrow, so if Carter were to sign with the team, he'd be providing depth alongside the likes of Phillip Dorsett, Cam Sims and Keelan Cole.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: The Score - Jordan Schultz

2 hours agoThe Philadelphia Eagles gave All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson a one-year, $33.445 million contract extension on Friday that includes $30 million guaranteed, according to a source. Johnson is now under contract through the 2026 season. He hasn't given up a sack in the last two years, despite playing last postseason with a torn adductor muscle in his groin. The 32-year-old veteran will return to the Eagles for an 11th season in 2023 after having surgery on his groin in February after the Super Bowl loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He could be ready by the time the team begins their offseason workouts, but if not, he should be fully recovered by training camp in the summer. Having Johnson on the right side of the offensive line is a tremendous asset for the Eagles explosive offense.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: ESPN - Adam Schefter

15 hours agoAlabama quarterback Bryce Young had a strong throwing session at his Pro Day on Thursday. It may not have been an eye-popping day for the potential No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft, but his performance was smooth and lived up to expectations based on his outstanding play for Alabama in his two seasons as the starter. "There's never been a more instinctive guy," Alabama head coach Nick Saban said. "(Young) plays the quarterback position like a point guard -- he's got great instincts, great feel, can change arm angles, very accurate with the ball, really quick processor and decision-maker." If Young does come off the board at No. 1 overall in April, he'll be taking his talents to the Carolina Panthers and would likely be starting from Day 1.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: NFL.com - Eric Edholm

16 hours agoThe Carolina Panthers re-signed kicker Eddy Pineiro to an undisclosed two-year deal on Thursday, according to a source. Pineiro will return for his second season in Carolina after going 33-for-35 on his field-goal tries and 30-for-32 on extra-point attempts in 17 games. In addition to 2022 being his best in his third NFL campaign, Pineiro also went 15-for-16 from 40-plus yards. Even with Carolina's offense struggling to find a consistent quarterback all year, the 27-year-old was able to finish the year as a top-10 fantasy kicker. The Panthers offense could once again struggle to punch the ball into the end zone with a rookie signal-caller at the helm in 2023, so Pineiro should make a decent low-end fantasy kicking target this fall.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: NFL Network - Ian Rapoport

16 hours agoFormer New Orleans Saints running back Tony Jones Jr. signed an undisclosed one-year deal with the Denver Broncos on Thursday, according to a source. Jones played in just six games last year between the Saints and Seattle Seahawks and had just 10 carries for 24 yards and five receptions for 30 yards. In the previous two seasons for the Saints, he combined for 57 carries, 155 yards and no touchdowns while adding five catches for 29 yards through the air in 12 games (five starts). Jones could have a slightly bigger role early on behind Samaje Perine for Denver if Javonte Williams (knee) isn't ready to go, but even in that scenario, Jones won't have much fantasy upside. The Broncos could also add to the position in the draft, which would further bury Jones on his new team's depth chart.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: 9 News - Mike Klis

21 hours agoKentucky quarterback Will Levis is having dinner with Carolina Panthers owners David and Nicole Tepper, general manager Scott Fitterer, head coach Frank Reich, assistant GM Dan Morgan, vice president Samir Suleiman and assistant coaches Jim Caldwell, Thomas Brown and Josh McCown on Thursday, according to sources. Levis will throw during his school's Pro Day on Friday. While most pundits expect the Panthers to take either Alabama's Bryce Young or Ohio State's C.J. Stroud with the No. 1 overall pick in this year's draft, they are doing their due diligence with another signal-caller projected to go early in the first round. The 23-year-old's numbers in college leave something to be desired, but he has a cannon for an arm and can also pick up yards with his legs. It would be a surprise if he isn't taken in the first 10 picks of next month's draft.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: NBC Sports Boston - Albert Breer

21 hours agoThe Tampa Bay Buccaneers released kicker Ryan Succop on Thursday. Succop spent the last three years with the Bucs, but he'll now look for work elsewhere heading into the 2023 season. In his time in Tampa, he made 84 of his 99 field-goal attempts and went 132-for-141 on extra points in 50 regular season contests. The 36-year-old kicker went 31-for-38 on his field goals and missed one of his 25 extra-point tries in 17 regular season games for the team. In his 14-year NFL career, Succop has made 82.9 percent of his 320 field-goal tries during the regular season and has been successful on 96.1 percent of his extra points.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: ESPN.com - Field Yates

21 hours agoFormer Dallas Cowboys running back Ezekiel Elliott has narrowed down his options to the Philadelphia Eagles, New York Jets and Cincinnati Bengals, and he would like to make his decision on where to play next by the end of next week, according to sources. The Cowboys cut Elliott after seven seasons with the team. Although Zeke did have four 1,000-yard rushing campaigns in his time in Dallas, he had become much less explosive the last two years while losing valuable touches to Tony Pollard. The 27-year-old had a career-low 876 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns on 231 carries last year, but he'll likely be more of a short-yardage, goal-line back wherever he lands next. Based purely on the teams' depth charts, the Bengals look to be the best fit for Elliott on paper.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: ESPN - Adam Schefter

24 hours agoThe New York Giants are signing free-agent tight end Tommy Sweeney to an undisclosed deal on Thursday, according to a source. Sweeney is a former seventh-round pick by the Buffalo Bills in 2019 out of Boston College, and he spent the last three seasons playing for the Bills, where he totaled 18 catches on 26 targets for 165 yards and one touchdown in 24 games (four starts). The 27-year-old will provide the Giants with some depth at the position behind recently acquired Darren Waller and Daniel Bellinger. The G-Men also have tight ends Lawrence Cager and Chris Myarick on their current roster. Sweeney will be far from the fantasy radar in 2023.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBallerSource: ESPN New York - Jordan Raanan
