Arizona Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur said WR Marvin Harrison will play the X receiver, with WR Michael Wilson as the Z receiver.
| Footballguys view: LaFleur compared the role Harrison would play to the one Davante Adams handles for the Rams (where LaFleur was the offensive coordinator) and the one Julio Jones handles for the Falcons (where LaFleur was an offensive assistant). LaFleur compared the Z receiver Wilson will handle to Puka Nacua's role with the Rams. That receiver plays closer to the offensive formation and has more responsibilities as a blocker in the running game. Like Nacua, Wilson is unafraid of getting his hands dirty as a blocker. We'll be watching how this all plays out when the Cardinals open training camp next month. |

Former Los Angeles Rams DT Aaron Donald told The Schultz Report on Tuesday, June 2 that he is considering a return to the NFL. 'I'm for sure flirting with the idea,' Donald texted Jordan Schultz. 'Helluva an opportunity with the Super Bowl in SoFi this year. If I can find the fire, it's a possibility.' Donald, 35, has not played since 2023 but started considering a return when the Rams traded for reigning Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett on Monday.
| Footballguys view: Donald, 35, has not played since 2023. Rams coach Sean McVay was asked Tuesday about the possibility of Donald coming back. "Listen, if he's interested," McVay said during Garrett's introductory news conference. "Here's what I'll say: You talk to Aaron, and you see what he's saying about that," McVay admitted he has talked to Donald since acquiring Garrett. The biggest problem for the Rams would be fitting Donald under their salary cap. But you can bet they would figure out a way to get the three-time Defensive Player of the Year on the roster if he wants to return. |

Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London and the Falcons have reportedly agreed to a four-year contract extension, according to a source on Tuesday, June 2.
| Footballguys view: According to London's agent, Andrew Kessler, it's a $141 million extension worth up to $150 million, including $100 million guaranteed. London will earn $35.25 million per year. It makes London the third-highest paid receiver in the league, with the highest average per year in the Falcons. Across his four NFL seasons so far, he's averaging 77.3 receptions for 990.3 yards and 5.5 touchdowns per year, having led the Falcons in receptions and receiving yards in his first three campaigns before missing five games in 2025. He's being drafted as WR7 with the 17th pick overall. |

Pittsburgh Steelers CB Makari Paige was released, according to a source on Tuesday, June 2.
Link to storyPittsburgh Steelers LB Nick Herbig and the Steelers have reportedly agreed on a five-year contract extension worth $103.67 million, including $42 million guaranteed, according to a source on Tuesday, June 2.
| Footballguys view: This is a very reasonable rate for an edge rusher - only about half of what the Steelers paid TJ Watt on his most recent deal. There was some speculation that the Steelers could trade Herbig or Alex Highsmith - who they have under contract for two more years at $14.5 and $15 million. It's possible teams will come calling about Highsmith in light of this. |

Free agent wide receiver Jalen Reagor (Chargers) signed with the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday, June 2. No terms of the deal were disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Reagor is best known for being taken over Justin Jefferson by the Eagles in the 2020 draft. He was traded to the Vikings after only two years in Philadelphia and hasn't caught more than 10 passes in a season since then. Last year, Reagor was briefly on the Chargers practice squad. Normally, we'd say that he's unlikely to make the roster, but given the state of the Dolphins depth chart at wide receiver, you never know. |

Cleveland Browns DE Markees Watts was placed on the reserve/retired list by the team on Tuesday, June 2.
Link to storyFree agent RB Elijah Mitchell (Patriots) signed with the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday, June 2. No terms of the deal were disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Mitchell almost had 1000 yards as a rookie with the 49ers in 2021, but hasn't had a carry in an NFL game since 2023 because of injury issues. Speed is his calling card, and he is a good fit in the zone running game the Eagles are installing, so he could be a veteran practice squad candidate, or even make the team if injuries strike the Eagles backfield in camp or the preseason. |

Seattle Seahawks DE Derick Hall agreed to a three-year, $42 million extension that could be worth up to $46.5 million and includes $21 million guaranteed on Tuesday, June 2.
| Footballguys view: The Seahawks lost Boye Mafe in free agency to Cincinnati on a three-year, $60 million deal. Hall is more than two years younger than Mafe, but was slowed by oblique and ankle injuries last year. After Hall notched eight sacks (only one fewer than Mafe's career high) as a 23-year-old in 2024, expectations were high, and it's clear the Seahawks believe in Hall. This is another prudent move for GM John Schneider. |

Indianapolis Colts G Jalen Farmer and LB Bryce Boettcher signed their rookie contracts with the team on Tuesday, June 2.
Link to storyGreen Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs was at the team's practice during OTAs on Tuesday, June 2.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs was arrested on May 26 after police responded to an alleged domestic violence incident a few days earlier. He missed practice time as those matters played out, but it does not sound like there will be any limitations on his participation this week. Coach Matt LaFleur told reporters that it is "business as usual" for the veteran back. Prosecutors said last week there has been no decision about formally filing criminal charges against Jacobs. We'll continue to watch for more. |

New York Giants PK Jason Sanders was released Tuesday, June 2.
| Footballguys view: The former All-Pro kicker was released to clear a roster spot for Juju Smith-Schuster. Sanders, formerly of the Miami Dolphins, was by far the most experienced kicker under contract with the Giants. The 30-year-old Sanders has made 84.6% of his NFL field goal attempts. That includes 90.2% in the 2024 season, when he was 12-for-14 from 50-plus yards. Ben Sauls and Dominic Zvada are the remaining kickers on the roster. |

New England Patriots WR A.J. Brown is expected to practice Tuesday, June 2, one day after being acquired via trade, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
| Footballguys view: Vrabel confirmed that Brown passed his physical, the prerequisite for hitting the field with his new teammates. Vrabel, who previously coached Brown in Tennessee, said he's excited about Brown showing what he can do. "He loves football. He has a physical skill set. I think he has great body control and can be strong at the catch point," Vrabel said. "He's been a productive, consistent player." The Patriots will get their first look at that skill set on the practice field today. |

Miami Dolphins QB Malik Willis is working on building chemistry with the team's wide receivers in organized team activities, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.
| Footballguys view: "It's going to take a lot of reps, just like it would with any quarterback and wide receiver group," Hafley said of the situation. "It's going to take time [to find] the rhythm." Asked if any wideout stood out in their work with Willis, Hafley singled out Malik Washington and Jalen Tolbert. Still, the bigger picture issue is this: The Dolphins need Willis to play at a high level for any of this to work -- and for fantasy investors to cash in on the QB's rushing upside. We'll be watching his progress closely this summer. |
Tennessee Titans RB Nick Singleton (foot) is making progress in his recovery from a Jones fracture in his foot, according to head coach Robert Saleh.
| Footballguys view: The Titans took a bit of a risk when they picked Singleton in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft. The star running back suffered the injury during Senior Bowl week and was unable to participate in any of the pre-draft workouts. Singleton's return will add another back to what has become a crowded backfield this offseason. The Titans have Tony Pollard, Tyjae Spears, Kalel Mullings, and Julius Chestnut returning, and added Singleton and veteran Michael Carter during the offseason in hopes of improving their dismal 30th-ranked rushing attack in 2026. |
Washington Commanders RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt attended the voluntary workouts last week but did not participate in drills.
| Footballguys view: It's unclear if Croskey-Merritt is dealing with an injury. As CBSSports.com notes, his next opportunity to take part in team drills will arrive during mandatory minicamp June 16-18, and then during training camp in July. Croskey-Merritt suited up for all 17 regular-season games as a rookie, totaling 175 carries for 805 yards and eight touchdowns. He also had nine catches for 68 yards on 13 targets. Free-agent addition Rachaad White will provide Croskey-Merritt with competition for touches, especially in the receiving game. The Commanders have Jerome Ford, Jeremy McNichols, and rookie sixth-rounder Kaytron Allen on the depth chart. |
New York Giants WR Gunner Olszewski (Achilles) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, June 1.
| Footballguys view: The kick and punt returner tore his Achilles during OTAs on Friday and will now have to miss the 2026 campaign. Olszewski was in line to retain the returner role he played for New York in 2025. Newly signed receiver Braxton Berrios can pick up some of that return work. |

New England Patriots TE Julian Hill (undisclosed) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Monday, June 1.
| Footballguys view: The Patriots officially acquired wide receiver A.J. Brown in a trade with the Eagles on Monday afternoon. They needed to make a corresponding move, and they did, placing Hill on injured reserve. Hill cannot play this season unless the Patriots were to release him, which is unlikely. His injury is undisclosed. The Patriots were counting on Hill to replace Austin Hooper, who left for the Falcons in free agency. Instead, third-round rookie Eli Raridon will have a bigger opportunity. |

Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown was traded to the New England Patriots Monday, June 1, in exchange for a 2028 first-round draft choice and a 2027 fifth-round draft choice, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: The Eagles have planned for Brown's departure all offseason, trading up in the first round of this year's draft for USC receiver Makai Lemon while also trading for Green Bay Packers receiver Dontayvion Wicks and signing Marquise Brown and Elijah Moore as free agents. Smith's current ADP, he's WR15 being drafted with the 36th pick overall, is high enough to believe this trade is already factored in. We should add Smith to the list of fantasy WR2 prospects capable of WR1 finishes with Brown out of the picture. |

Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown was acquired by the New England Patriots Monday, June 1, in exchange for a 2028 first-round draft choice and a 2027 fifth-round draft choice, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: The trade, which has been discussed and anticipated across the NFL for months, reunites Brown and Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel. Brown, who turns 29 on June 30, gives Patriots quarterback Drake Maye a No. 1 target as part of a revamped top of the receiver depth chart alongside free agent signing Romeo Doubs. Brown's current WR13 ADP seemingly takes this trade into account. But working alongside Maye, it's not a reach to believe Brown can deliver WR1 production. |

Indianapolis Colts RB Jonathan Taylor did not participate in the voluntary workout Monday, June 1.
| Footballguys view: While nobody seems concerned about this absence, head coach Shane Steichen acknowledged after practice that it's a fair question to debate whether the Colts need to scale back the NFL-leading 323 carries for Taylor from last season. If that's going to happen, and the Colts don't make any other running back moves, those reserve roles will go to some youth on the roster. But both former draft picks D.J. Giddens and Seth McGowan flashed a bit on Monday in Taylor's absence. |

Indianapolis Colts OT Jalen Travis (back) did not participate in the voluntary workout Monday, June 1, and has missed both of the workouts open to the media this offseason.
Link to storyHouston Texans WR Jayden Higgins has looked bigger and faster this offseason, and head coach DeMeco Ryans said he expects a terrific season from Higgins in 2026.
| Footballguys view: Higgins quickly emerged as a solid No. 2 option in the passing game opposite Pro Bowler Nico Collins last season. The Texans' top pick in the second round, Higgins finished with 41 catches for 525 yards and tied Collins for the team lead with six scores while averaging 12.8 yards per catch. " I know he's going to have a really good year based on how he looks right now," Ryan said. "He's ready to roll." Higgins, being drafted as WR56 this year, has great upside at that price. |
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. has been impressive during voluntary workouts and has been doing well during team meetings, according to head coach Liam Coen.
| Footballguys view: After recording nearly 1,300 yards in 2024 as a rookie, Thomas Jr. totaled only 707 yards this past season. This included dealing with dropped passes and catching just 49 percent of the passes thrown his way. So one of the points of emphasis this offseason has been Thomas Jr. and Trevor Lawrence continuing to build their chemistry within the Coen offense. While it's still early, the two are off to a strong start in offseason programs and OTAs in that regard. That's good news because Thomas Jr. is the first Jaguar WR off the board as WR36. |
Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones (Achilles) is participating in seven-on-seven drills during the voluntary workout Monday, June 1.
| Footballguys view: Remember, Jones was limited to individual drills last week, so this is real progress. After practice, Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that Jones would continue to participate in the 7-on-7 periods during OTAs and move on to full-team drills when training camp opens. The QB is only 175 days removed from injuring his Achilles in Week 14 last season. Last week, Jones said he "absolutely" plans on being available for Week 1, but even with the progress he's made, there are still hurdles to navigate. We'll be watching for more. |
