Seahawks | Harrison Bryant let go Wed Jul 22, 04:34 PM
Seattle Seahawks TE Harrison Bryant was released Tuesday, July 21.
| Footballguys view: Bryant signed with the Seahawks in April after spending last season with the Texans. He has previously spent time with the Eagles, Raiders, and Browns. A.J. Barner and Elijah Arroyo are the tight ends of interest in this offense, although neither is being drafted as a front-line fantasy prospect. |

NFL | Deebo Samuel ready to play Wed Jul 22, 04:24 PM
Free-agent WR Deebo Samuel (Commanders) said he is looking to continue his playing career and will be ready to play once the right opportunity comes around.
| Footballguys view: Samuel became a free agent in March when his contract with the Commanders expired. In a YouTube video, Samuel told viewers he's ready to hit the ground running once a chance to play materializes. Samuel scored 42 touchdowns as a receiver and runner over six seasons with the 49ers. He caught 72 passes for 727 yards and five touchdowns after being traded to the Commanders last year. That production was down from his best years with the Niners, and it remains to be seen where he might get a chance to show he still has a lot in the tank. |

Cardinals | Jacob Brissett expected to be at start of camp Wed Jul 22, 02:50 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett should be in attendance at the start of training camp for the team, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
| Footballguys view: Brissett will presumably be in attendance, but CBSSports.com suggests the veteran quarterback could still stage a "hold-in" due to his ongoing contract dispute. Per Rapoport, the Cardinals agree that a raise would be warranted for Brissett, but the two sides have not yet been able to come to terms on an exact figure. |

Seattle Seahawks RB Zach Charbonnet was placed on the PUP list on Wednesday, July 22, ahead of training camp.
| Footballguys view: Charbonnet can be activated from the list at any point in camp, but the timing of the injury means that it will likely be some time before the team will be moving him to the active roster. Charbonnet ran 184 times for 730 yards and 12 touchdowns last season. First-round pick Jadarian Price, George Holani, Emanuel Wilson, Velus Jones, and Jacardia Wright are the healthy options at running back in Seattle. |

Dolphins | Jordyn Brooks signs new deal with Miami Wed Jul 22, 01:26 PM
Miami Dolphins LB Jordyn Brooks signed a three-year, $51 million deal on Wednesday, July 22, with $35 million guaranteed.
| Footballguys view: Brooks, 28, led the NFL in combined tackles (183) and solo tackles (99) last season en route to being named a first-team All-Pro. The rebuilding Dolphins view the linebacker, C Aaron Brewer, and RB De'Von Achane as foundational pieces to build around. |

Cardinals | Jacoby Brissett in talks for pay raise Wed Jul 22, 12:16 AM
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett is in talks with the team on a pay raise, according to a report from NFL Network on Tuesday, July 21.
| Footballguys view: "My understanding of the situation is the Arizona Cardinals are in agreement that Jacoby Brissett deserves more money," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said. "The two sides have been negotiating for several months. They have not yet agreed on a number, but they do believe he is due a new deal and deserves one." Even though talks have been at a standstill, teammates clearly view Brissett as the starting quarterback. Carson Beck and Gardner Minshew are standing by, but Brissett took this offense to new heights last year, and fantasy managers should hope he ends up as the Week 1 starter. |

Lions | Sam LaPorta fully cleared for training camp Wed Jul 22, 12:09 AM
Detroit Lions TE Sam LaPorta (herniated disc) was reportedly cleared in full for training camp but is expected to be full go, according to a source on Tuesday, July 21.
| Footballguys view: LaPorta has settled in as one of the league's top tight ends. His TE1 season as a rookie defied history when it came to first-year tight ends as fantasy producers. But he's slowed down since, pulling in a combined 100 passes for 1,215 yards and 10 touchdowns in 25 games over the past two seasons. Nonetheless, he was on track for a third straight top-10 finish at his position last year, and he finished seventh in points per game. LaPorta is being drafted as TE8. |

Raiders | LV will 'sprinkle' first-team reps for Fernando Mendoza in camp Wed Jul 22, 12:08 AM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza will reportedly receive some first-team reps at quarterback during training camp, according to a source on Tuesday, July 21.
| Footballguys view: As SI.com's Albert Breer noted, Mendoza got about six weeks of work in the spring as a ramp-up to camp, and that time was spent largely on fundamentals. New head coach Klint Kubiak had Mendoza start a detailed progression in learning the scheme's footwork. The Raiders also drilled him on working from under center, something he didn't do much in college. Kirk Cousins handled most of the first-team reps. A report this week suggested the Raiders would prefer Cousins to start all year, although Mendoza could take over at some point if he picks things up quickly. |
Seahawks | Devon Witherspoon close to new deal Tue Jul 21, 08:53 PM
Seattle Seahawks CB Devon Witherspoon is close to agreeing to a new contract with the team, according to a report by the NFL Network's Ian Rapoport on Tuesday, July 21. The Seahawks have 'made an offer upwards of $30 million' (per season) to Witherspoon and indicated a deal could be close.

Patriots | Christian Gonzalez in line for new deal Tue Jul 21, 08:33 PM
New England Patriots CB Christian Gonzalez warrants a new contract, but his deal could be tied to a potential new deal for Seattle Seahawks CB Devon Witherspoon. Gonzalez allowed 14 completions on 36 targets in the 2025 playoffs. His 38.8% completion percentage allowed was the lowest by any player to face 25 or more targets in a postseason since at least 2018, per NFL Next Gen Stats.

Link to story Raiders | Mike Washington 'occasionally' received first-team reps at OTAs Tue Jul 21, 04:58 PM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Mike Washington Jr. reportedly received occasional first-team reps at running back during the Raiders' offseason training program, according to a source on Tuesday, July 21.
| Footballguys view: According to McFadden, Washington has the potential to grow into a second option in the backfield, as he has a nice blend of size and speed. At Arkansas, he rushed for 1,070 yards, with 606 yards coming after first contact, and eight touchdowns. Washington also totaled 28 catches for 226 yards and a touchdown. HC Klint Kubiak expects Ashton Jeanty to have a heavy workload, but that shouldn't take away from Washington playing meaningful snaps. |

Broncos | 'A surprise' if Evan Engram earns more snaps than Adam Trautman in 2026 Tue Jul 21, 04:42 PM
Denver Broncos TE Evan Engram earned 40% of snaps last season, compared to 57% for fellow TE Adam Trautman, and it would be a surprise if Engram earned more time on the field than Trautman in 2026, in the opinion of Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post on Tuesday, July 21.
| Footballguys view: As Footballguy Matt Waldman notes, Engram was third in targets last year, but he only scored once. And unless he generates 90-100 targets or 8-10 scores, don't expect a return to starting fantasy TE status in most formats. The timeshare with Trautman makes those numbers unlikely. |

Vikings | 'Right up to the start of the season' for starting QB competition? Tue Jul 21, 04:22 PM
Minnesota Vikings QBs Kyler Murray and J.J. McCarthy's competition to win the starting quarterback job this season could go right up to the start of the season, in the opinion of Ian Rapoport of NFL Network on Tuesday, July 21.
| Footballguys view: When Murray signed with the Vikings, the thinking was that he had the inside track to be the starter. All signs had pointed in that direction, even as he spent the offseason splitting reps with incumbent starter J.J. McCarthy as part of an open competition. But public accounts of the team's final minicamp sessions created the impression that McCarthy was making strides and Murray was struggling. While that obviously creates intrigue as training camp opens, multiple observers have told us that if the season were starting today, Murray would likely be the starter. We'll see if McCarthy can change that. |

Dolphins | Dolphins place rookie WR Chris Bell on active/NFI list Tue Jul 21, 04:09 PM
The Dolphins have placed rookie WR Chris Bell, who is recovering from a torn ACL while at Louisville last December, on the active/NFI list.
| Footballguys view: Once he's ready, Bell will compete with Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, and Tutu Atwell, along with fellow rookies Caleb Douglas and Kevin Coleman, for playing time. Bell is an eventual WR1 candidate for Miami. But with the team in rebuild mode, there's no reason to rush Bell into the fray. |

Commanders | Treylon Burks likely to make team Tue Jul 21, 02:39 PM
Washington Commanders WR Treylon Burks is not guaranteed a roster spot but is likely to make the 53-man roster, in the opinion of CommandersWire's Bryan Manning.
| Footballguys view: The Commanders have not added a veteran free-agent receiver this summer, despite the clear need for a No. 2 receiver opposite Terry McLaurin. That doesn't mean they won't sign someone like Stefon Diggs off the street, but unless and until they do, Burks should benefit from increased opportunities in camp. As SBNation noted, this is a prove-it year for a 26-year-old who has flashed but never established himself as a steady threat. Injuries have been the biggest roadblock for a player who hasn't exceeded 444 receiving yards in a season. We'll be watching for more over the next month. |
Panthers | Taylor Moton expected to miss extended time Tue Jul 21, 02:05 PM
Carolina Panthers OT Taylor Moton (illness) was diagnosed with a blood clot last month and will start training camp on the Active/Non-Football Injury list. He will miss time during the regular season but is expected to play at some point during the 2026 season.
| Footballguys view: Moton was immediately placed on blood thinners and is responding well to treatment and is being assessed daily by the team's medical staff. The Panthers signed veteran left tackle Rasheed Walker in free agency as cover for the injured Ikem Ekwonu, and used their first-round pick on Georgia tackle Monroe Freeling. |
Panthers | Jaycee Horn going on NFI list Tue Jul 21, 01:57 PM
Carolina Panthers CB Jaycee Horn (foot) will start training camp on the Active/Non-Football Injury list because of a cut on his foot. He is expected to be cleared to return early in camp.
| Footballguys view: Horn suffered the cut recently while running. It required stitches. During his absence, the Panthers still have veteran starter Mike Jackson and a number of young options, including fourth-round rookie Will Lee, Corey Thornton, and Chau Smith-Wade. |

Dolphins | Jordyn Brooks extended Tue Jul 21, 11:34 AM
Miami Dolphins LB Jordyn Brooks agreed to a three-year, $51 million deal Tuesday, July 21, with $35 million guaranteed.
| Footballguys view: The rebuilding Dolphins have shed several veterans this offseason but prioritized extending their remaining leaders, with Brooks being the latest example. The Dolphins also reached extensions with running back De'Von Achane and center Aaron Brewer this offseason. Brooks, 28, led the NFL in combined tackles (183) and solo tackles (99) last season en route to being named a first-team All-Pro. |

Broncos | Bo Nix to be cleared when training camp opens? Tue Jul 21, 01:02 AM
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix (ankle) could be 100% cleared when camp opens, which is consistent with Nix's messaging over the last month about his injury, in the opinion of The Denver Post's Troy Renck on Monday, July 20.
| Footballguys view: Nix enters his third NFL season after finishing inside the top-10 at the position (with QB8 and QB9 outcomes) during each of his first two campaigns. He was a very limited participant during the Broncos' offseason program while recovering from the two procedures he had on his ankle. But Nix has shown consistent progress and even been deemed ahead of schedule. The Broncos have insisted the third-year man will be ready, and Nix continues to show signs they were right. |
Packers | Tucker Kraft contract extension next? Tue Jul 21, 01:01 AM
Green Bay Packers TE Tucker Kraft is entering the final season of his contract and the Packers hope to get an extension done with him, in the opinion of Jordan Schultz on Monday, July 20.
| Footballguys view: NFL insider Ian Rapoport also reported that Kraft is the Packers' top priority for an extension before the season begins. Kraft is currently slated to make $3.624 million in base salary with a $3.93 million cap hit after triggering the proven performance escalator. That's a bargain for a tight end of his caliber, and both sides know it. Kraft is recovering from a torn ACL, which could impact negotiations, but Green Bay already locked up Sean Rhyan, Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, Devonte Wyatt, and Isaiah McDuffie. Kraft is the obvious next domino to fall. |

Buccaneers | Bucky Irving 'good to go' for training camp Tue Jul 21, 12:59 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving said he is 'good to go' for training camp at his youth football camp, according to a source on Monday, July 20.
| Footballguys view: Irving returned to the Bucs practice fields on the final day of OTAs, the first time he hit the field since shoulder surgery earlier this year. That's good news for Irving, who'll face competition for snaps from free-agent addition Kenny Gainwell. Irving is being drafted as RB21 in early Round 5. Gainwell is RB34 going in Round 8. Irving's ADP reflects last year's points-per-game finish and his 2026 Footballguys projection. Could Gainwell be a limiting factor? We'll be watching for more. |
Panthers | Xavier Legette 'on the hot seat' this season Tue Jul 21, 12:58 AM
Carolina Panthers WR Xavier Legette is 'on the hot seat' this season, in the opinion of The Charlotte Observer's Mike Kaye on Monday, July 20.
| Footballguys view: Legette, John Metchie, and Chris Brazzell II will likely compete for the No. 3 receiver job during the offseason workouts and training camp. Legette has the size and speed to be a run-after-catch threat, but hasn't shown the ability to win downfield. Brazzell is a long, fast, flexible receiver in the mold of George Pickens, who could make a splash right away given the quality of Bryce Young's deep ball. That said, the Panthers' pass offense isn't at the level where it can support three fantasy-relevant wide receivers, so investors shouldn't dive too deep here. |

Seahawks | Two DBs not ready to practice Mon Jul 20, 04:20 PM
Seattle Seahawks S Nick Emmanwori (undisclosed) and CB Tyrone Broden (undisclosed) were placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Monday, July 20.
| Footballguys view: As Profootballtalk.com noted, it's currently unclear what landed Emmanwori on the PUP list, as he was a participant during the club's offseason program. But at this time of year, Emmanwori can come off the list to practice at any time. One of the league's best defensive rookies last year, Emmanwori tallied 81 total tackles with nine tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks, 11 passes defensed, and an interception in 14 regular-season games in 2025. We'll monitor his status as camp gets underway. |
