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. |

Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby is not expected to receive interest from the Cleveland Browns if he enters the 2026 supplemental draft, according to head coach Todd Monken.
Link to storyFree-agent WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (Chiefs) agreed to terms with the New York Giants Monday, June 1, according to sources. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: As SBNation's Ed Valentine noted, the Giants worked out four wide receivers Monday morning. The only one not signed -- so far -- has been former Chicago Bears first-round pick Anthony Miller. Smith-Schuster is a nine-year veteran who spent three of the last four seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, where Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy was on the coaching staff. Smith-Schuster, 29, caught 33 passes in 17 games last season. He caught 78 passes for 933 yards for the Chiefs in 2022. Smith-Schuster joins Odell Beckham Jr. and Braxton Berrios as newcomers to the team's receivers room. |

New York Jets first-round draft choice WR Omar Cooper Jr. agreed to terms on a four-year contract with the Jets Monday, June 1, worth $17.5 million, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: According to the Footballguys 2026 Rookie Guide, Cooper is a tough receiver over the middle and a threat after the catch in the short game. But as Sigmund Bloom suggests, Cooper isn't going to be the starting "X" in New York; he isn't suited for that role. He isn't displacing Garrett Wilson as the starting "Z". Kenyon Sadiq is going to get a lot of the snaps that a slot receiver would as a second tight end. Where exactly does Cooper fit in that can make him fantasy-relevant? It could be a slow rookie season for the former Indiana star. |

Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett is being traded to the Los Angeles Rams Monday, June 1, in exchange for DE Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round draft choice and other undisclosed draft choices, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.
| Footballguys view: The Browns claimed they had no interest in trading Garrett, and even told that to the Rams, according to ESPN's reporting. But the Rams refused to give up their "persistent pursuit" of Garrett. The Browns told the Rams that no deal would get done without including the 25-year-old Verse, the Rams' 2024 first-round pick, who has had 12 sacks and 22 tackles for loss the past two seasons. The Rams initially were not interested in moving Verse, but eventually began to consider a package with him as long as the draft picks were adjusted appropriately. Now the deal is done. |

Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett is being acquired by the Los Angeles Rams Monday, June 1, in exchange for DE Jared Verse, a 2027 first-round draft choice and other undisclosed draft choices, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero.
| Footballguys view: As ESPN.com noted, the shocking trade is completely on brand for the Rams, who made a similarly seismic move in the 2021 offseason when they traded for QB Matthew Stafford in the season in which the Super Bowl was being played in Los Angeles before going on to win it. With Super Bowl LXI set to be played at SoFi Stadium again, the Rams once again are going all-in and living by their mantra, "F--- them picks," while trying to repeat history. The move doesn't have a huge impact on Garrett's IDP value, which will remain high. |

Link to storyFree-agent QB Russell Wilson (Giants) has agreed to a deal with CBS Sports to become a football analyst, according to sources. It is not known if Wilson will be retiring from professional football.
| Footballguys view: Wilson, who also had an offer on the table from the New York Jets to join the team as a backup to Geno Smith, had acknowledged last month to the New York Post that he was considering joining CBS Sports. A 10-time Pro Bowl selection who won a Super Bowl and the prestigious Walter Payton Man of the Year Award during his career, Wilson is now is set to leave the NFL as a player to become an analyst on the network's pregame show that includes James Brown, Nate Burleson and Bill Cowher. It is unclear if Wilson is retiring as a player or simply taking a pause on his playing career. |

Free-agent WR Odell Beckham Jr. (Dolphins) signed with the New York Giants Monday, June 1. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: The Giants' receiving corps has been hit hard by injuries, with Darius Slayton recovering from hernia surgery and Malik Nabers' ongoing recovery from ACL and meniscus surgery. Beckham was a 2014 first-round pick and was named the Offensive Rookie of the Year after catching 91 passes during his first NFL season. He's also played for the Browns, Rams, Ravens, and Dolphins, but sat out all of last season. Beckham played for Giants coach John Harbaugh with Baltimore in 2023. We'll see if Beckham can carve out a role sufficient to make him fantasy relevant. A wait-and-see approach is recommended. |
Odell Beckham Jr player page
Free-agent WR Braxton Berrios (Texans) agreed to a one-year deal with the New York Giants Monday, June 1. Financial terms weren't disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Berrios, 30, is a natural fit for the role vacated by the injury to Gunner Olszewski, who suffered a torn Achilles tendon last week. Berrios has made his name as a special teams ace since entering the NFL in 2018 with the New England Patriots. He only has 140 receptions for 1,360 yards and 6 touchdowns since 2019, but has been an excellent returner. He has 100 punt returns, averaging 11.3 yards per return, as well as 91 kick returns with an average of 24.9 yards per return. |

Free-agent WR Samori Toure (Saints) agreed to an undisclosed deal with the Philadelphia Eagles Monday, June 1.
Link to storyBuffalo Bills WR DJ Moore said he still dealing with some 'growing pains' as he adjusts to the Buffalo offense, but he expects to be in 'great shape' as the offseason progresses. 'I mean, it's gonna be perfect later on,' Moore said.
| Footballguys view: The Bills acquired Moore in a trade with the Bears in March, and he's had his first chance to work with quarterback Josh Allen over the last few weeks. And even though their connection and Moore's overall fit in the Buffalo offense are still coming together, the outlook is optimistic. "It's going good," Moore said. "I mean, it's gonna be perfect later on, but right now it's still growing pains." Allen had positive things to say this month about how Moore is acclimating to life with the Bills, who will be banking on a fully integrated Moore come the fall. |

Free-agent WR Odell Beckham Jr. (Dolphins) has a 'real chance' to sign with the New York Giants, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Earlier this month, Giants coach John Harbaugh left the door open for a potential Beckham signing, with a caveat. "It's got to be right for both parties," Harbaugh said. As Profootballtalk.com suggested, the biggest question is where he'd land on the depth chart. Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton, and Calvin Austin III are the expected starters. The team's anticipated use of Beckham will also determine the contract he'd be offered. Both sides need to be on the same page about Beckham's role. It won't be what it was from 2014 through 2018. |

San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk seems unlikely to be traded, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: The 49ers have made it clear they would rather trade Aiyuk than release him, but finding a deal for the disgruntled wide receiver amid his puzzling behavior is proving difficult. "I talked to two rival executives who believe that he's simply untradeable right now," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported. The 49ers still can create $20 million in salary-cap space by releasing Aiyyk after June 1 if a trade partner isn't found. And as of right now, that is the most likely outcome. |
Brandon Aiyuk player page
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara and the team have not had 'a lot of traction' on a revised deal that could allow Kamara to return to the Saints in 2026.
| Footballguys view: "The team can also save about $14 million after June 1 on a salary cap," Fowler reported Sunday. Kamara's resume includes an Offensive Rookie of the Year, five Pro Bowl selections, and more than 1,100 yards from scrimmage in eight of his nine seasons. He also led the league in combined receiving and rushing touchdowns in 2020 with 21. Yet he will be 31 years old during the 2026 campaign and is coming off the worst individual season of his career. New Orleans also signed Travis Etienne Jr. to a four-year deal this offseason, which made Kamara's future uncertain. |

Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard is one of just two NFL backs to run for at least 1,000 yards in each of the past two seasons, with Baltimore Ravens RB Derrick Henry the other back in that exclusive club. He has played in at least 15 games in each of his seven NFL seasons, as durability has been key. 'The work ethic, everything that I'm doing behind the scenes, it's paying off,' Pollard said, via The Associated Press. 'I slowly feel like throughout my career I've just slowly progressed more and more, and I feel like I'm still trending in that direction.'
| Footballguys view: Pollard actually has four consecutive 1,000-yard seasons -- the last two for Tennessee. He was a Pro Bowler for the Cowboys in 2022, the first of his aforementioned quartet of 1,000-yard campaigns. He had a career-best 1,082 yards on the ground with five touchdowns last season. With Pollard already in place to support quarterback Cam Ward and a Tennessee offense taking on offensive coordinator Brian Daboll's new scheme, sticking with the veteran makes sense. For fantasy investors, the RB31 price makes him a reasonable value. |
