Saints | Chris Olave bulks up Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave gained 10 pounds of muscle ahead of OTAs.
| Footballguys view: We'll withhold any opinion whether this is a good or bad thing until we see if it affects Olave's elite route running. Reports from OTAs had him separating in practice with his typical effortless style, so chances are this is a good thing for the Saints #1 receiver, who should get a market level extension before the beginning of the season. |
Lions | Huge contract coming for Jahmyr Gibbs? Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs is 'positioned to reset the running back market in a big way,' according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. 'Think $20 million per year or over,' Fowler said.
| Footballguys view: He has earned it, and the Lions should have no hesitation paying it. Because Gibbs and fellow 2023 first round pick Jack Campbell play positions with a lower top of the pay scale, their combined cost per year should come in right after what the Seahawks are paying Jaxon Smith-Njigba on his contract extension. |

Jaguars | More deep balls for Brian Thomas Jr.? Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr.'s chemistry with QB Trevor Lawrence in the deep passing game has been a focus this offseason, according to head coach Liam Coen. 'Our average depth of target went up towards the second half of the season, but we've got to keep pushing that envelope a little bit - especially with him and BT, that connection,' Coen said.
| Footballguys view: Thomas should be the main deep target in the Jaguars offense, but he, Jakobi Meyers, and Parker Washington are all going to play large roles, and their fantasy values will be determined by how well they execute and riff with Trevor Lawrence. Washington dominated in OTAs, so Thomas still has work to do to justify his ADP being ahead of the hottest Jaguars receiver at the end of the season. |
Jaguars | Chris Rodriguez Jr. not practicing Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (undisclosed) did not practice and was seen riding a stationary back at practice Tuesday, May 26. Head coach Liam Coen did not comment on the specifics of Rodriguez's injury.
| Footballguys view: Coen did not seem worried, but we would like to know more about the nature of Rodriguez's absence before writing this off as nothing to be concerned about. The free agent signing is expected to be part of a three-headed committee with 2025 fourth round pick Bhayshul Tuten and 2025 seventh round pick LeQuint Allen, with an edge in short yardage and inside running. Tuten and Allen are both impressing his absence, and could make it an uphill climb for Rodriguez to earn more work than expected, but Coen's familiarity with Rodriguez could offset that. |
Giants | Cam Skattebo works in some drills Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo (ankle) 'snuck into' some positional drills during practice Friday, May 29, and appeared to be moving well, according to Art Stapleton of NorthJersey.com.
| Footballguys view: Of the two rookie backs who suffered dislocated ankle/fractured fibula injuries last year, Skattebo is behind Quinshon Judkins - who has been moving surprisingly well already - but still on track to be ready for Week 1. The big question is whether Skattebo will be back his old self this year. Skattebo did suffer ligament damage that Judkins didn't, so he was expected to be behind Judkins. We'll be watching this closely. For now, Tyrone Tracy has some speculative early season upside as Skattebo's backup. |
Broncos | Jonah Coleman may have early role Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
Denver Broncos RB Jonah Coleman could be used as a receiver out of the backfield during his rookie season, in the opinion of BroncosWire's Jon Heath.
| Footballguys view: Coleman is a threat to both JK Dobbins and RJ Harvey's roles, and he could end up being as valuable as Harvey even though there is a 50+ pick gap in their ADPs. Coleman could also be the first man up if Dobbins goes down. This is a big camp for Harvey to prove he deserves a bigger opportunity to prove he was worth the second round pick the Broncos spent on him last year. |
Rams | Max Klare under contract Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
Los Angeles Rams second-round draft choice TE Max Klare signed a four-year contract with the Rams Friday, May 29. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Like 2025 second round pick Terrance Ferguson, Klare will be eased into the offense, but we should assume that the long term vision of Sean McVay is for both Klare and Ferguson to be on the field more often than not - a base two tight end offense. Klare is a good long term stash in tight end premium leagues and he might be good enough to have value in PPR leagues by year two or three of his rookie deal. |
Titans | Calvin Ridley on field Friday Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
Tennessee Titans WR Calvin Ridley participated in the voluntary workout Friday, May 29, but was limited to individual drills.
| Footballguys view: Carnell Tate stole the show at OTAs and looked like the clear #1 receiver. He and Cam Ward appear to have an instant connection. Ridley is being paid like a starter and he is worth a late round pick in drafts, but Tate has all of the momentum in the Titans passing game right now. |

Seahawks | Jadarian Price agrees to deal Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
Seattle Seahawks first-round draft choice RB Jadarian Price agreed to terms on a four-year contract with the Seahawks Friday, May 29, according to a source. Financial terms were not disclosed, but the deal includes a fifth-year option.
| Footballguys view: Price has a chance to start Week 1 in the Super Bowl rematch against New England, but nothing is promised or guaranteed to him. George Holani is splitting first team work with Price while Zach Charbonnet (expected back sometime in the second half of the season) and Kenny McIntosh (should be ready for camp) recover from ACL surgery. Free agent signing Emanuel Wilson was not seen at practice this week, but Price did have a great play on a long reception that could help create momentum for him to be used in the passing game after barely seeing any targets at Notre Dame behind Arizona Cardinals #3 overall pick Jeremiyah Love. |

Cleveland Browns WR Denzel Boston has done a good job learning the offense and has been making plays during offseason workouts, according to offensive coordinator Travis Switzer.

Jets | Garrett Wilson feeling good Sat May 30, 03:40 PM
New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson said the recovery from his knee injury was longer than he expected but that he feels great now.
| Footballguys view: Wilson will have a chance to start hot with Geno Smith at quarterback, but if the Jets turn to fourth round rookie Cade Klubnik after the season is lost, then Wilson's value could evaporate. His ADP is lower than it was last year, but has not fallen to the lowly level that his 2025 lost campaign would dictate. |

Vikings | Nolan Teasley to become new GM Sat May 30, 01:40 PM
Seattle Seahawks assistant general manager Nolan Teasley agreed to terms with the Minnesota Vikings Saturday, May 30, to become their new general manager, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: Teasley was the only outside candidate, so this will bring a fresh perspective to the Vikings. He has been working for the Seahawks for 13 years and was one of the few people in the building who were part of both of their Super Bowl championship efforts. If he is judged as the "top football executive" (which Falcons GM Ian Cunningham was not), then the Seahawks will get two compensatory third round picks as Teasley already qualifies as a "diverse candidate" per the league itself. |
Bears | Coach high on Luther Burden Sat May 30, 01:22 PM
Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III has been performing well during offseason workouts and has been working on learning new routes, according to head coach Ben Johnson.
| Footballguys view: Burden is going to be close to a full-time player after DJ Moore got dealt to Buffalo. He'll occupy the slot and get some of the high percentage targets that turned Amon-Ra St. Brown into a star under Johnson in Detroit. Whether to take Burden, tight end Colston Loveland, or Rome Odunze first in drafts is not an easy call, but this early buzz makes it easier to pick Burden. |
Vikings | Top QBs working with starters Sat May 30, 01:13 PM
Minnesota Vikings QB Kyler Murray and QB J.J. McCarthy both received work with the first-team offense during the voluntary workout this week, but McCarthy seems to be behind Murray in the competition at this point, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Kevin Seifert.
| Footballguys view: Seifert wasn't the only observer at Vikings practice to put Murray after of McCarthy, and some had the gap very large. This is technically a quarterback competition, but McCarthy is going to have to up his level of play for there to be any suspense. All of the initial reports about Murray's acclimation to the team and offense are positive, so if you wanted to invest in him hoping for a bounceback season, you should feel encouraged by what we are hearing out of Minnesota. |

Rams | Puka Nacua not concerned about extension Sat May 30, 11:41 AM
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua said that he 'hasn't really thought' about an extension with the club, even though he is eligible to receive one. He is entering the final season of his rookie contract and could command a deal similar to the four-year, $168.6 million extension given to Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba in March, which made him the highest-paid receiver in NFL history.
| Footballguys view: The Rams might be hesitant to give Nacua that large of a contract after he checked into rehab for a period of weeks this offseason following some regrettable moments in public. They can also put clauses in any new contract to protect themselves if Nacua's off-field behavior is a problem again. There's no reason to think that Nacua won't pick up where he left off and earn the long term investment from the Rams, but we will be monitoring the reports out of camp and the preseason. |

Packers | Christopher Brooks works with starters Fri May 29, 04:21 PM
Green Bay Packers RB Christopher Brooks took first-team reps during 11-on-11 drills at OTAs on Wednesday, May 27.
| Footballguys view: Brooks' strength is his passing down skills, but with Emanuel Wilson gone to Seattle in free agency and MarShawn Lloyd once again "working off to the side", Brooks is the primary backup to Josh Jacobs, who was in the news because of domestic violence allegations earlier this week. We should know if the Packers expect Jacobs to miss time due to a suspension by whether they decide to improve their running back bench. |
49ers | Isaac Guerendo may miss most of camp Fri May 29, 04:21 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) suffered a torn pectoral this offseason and is expected to be sidelined until around the end of training camp, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan.
| Footballguys view: Guerendo was already viewed as behind third round pick Kaelon Black and last year's fifth round pick Jordan James on the depth chart. It's possible that Guerendo ends up on the NFI or PUP list to start the season. This news almost insures that the 2024 fourth round pick will be a non-factor in the 49ers backfield this season. |
Jets | NYJ having a competition for backup QB spot Fri May 29, 04:21 PM
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn told the media on Thursday, May 29, that the team is having an open competition for the backup quarterback spot between Cade Klubnik, Bailey Zappe, and Brady Cook.
| Footballguys view: The fourth round pick Klubnik has a good chance to beat out Zappe, who has leveled out as a QB3 on the fringe of rosters after getting a cup of coffee with the Patriots earlier in his career, and Cook, who looked overwhelmed when he got on the field as an undrafted free agent last year. |
Ravens | Lamar Jackson wants to stick around Fri May 29, 04:21 PM
Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson said he doesn't want to discuss contract negotiations but 'absolutely' wants to remain with the Ravens.
| Footballguys view: The team has said they intend to sign Jackson to a long extension, but there could be differences of opinion about the amount of money, length of the contract, and amount of guaranteed money. If the Ravens and Jackson can't get something worked out before this year, he'll be going into the last year of his contract in 2027. |

Browns | No frontrunner for QB job Fri May 29, 04:21 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson and QB Shedeur Sanders are the main candidates for the starting quarterback job, but offensive coordinator Travis Switzer said there is no favorite for the job at this point. Switzer said the team is happy with the progress of both quarterbacks.
| Footballguys view: This is a different tone from long time Browns beat writer Mary Kay Cabot's report making it sound like Watson was the likely Week 1 starter earlier in the offseason and a recent report from ESPN's Jeremy Fowler that Watson had a "leg up" in the competition. We'll put more weight on what the coaches say for now, but know that the veteran does have an advantage because the team is installing a new offense. No matter who wins the job, the Browns are probably going to be in the market for a new starting quarterback next year. |

Titans | Keldric Faulk under contract Fri May 29, 04:21 PM
Tennessee Titans first-round draft choice DE Keldric Faulk signed a four-year contract with the Titans Wednesday, May 27. Financial terms were not disclosed, but the deal includes a fifth-year option.
| Footballguys view: The Titans were high enough on Faulk to trade back into the first round to land him. Faulk has a very high ceiling because of his size, strength, and athleticism. He can play inside and outside on the defensive line and Robert Saleh's staff be able to develop him in multiple roles, which could be anywhere from putting his hand on the ground and lining head up on a guard to standing up at outside linebacker. |

Giants | Francis Mauigoa signs contract Fri May 29, 01:28 PM
New York Giants first-round draft choice OT Francis Mauigoa signed a four-year contract with the Giants Wednesday, May 27. Financial terms were not disclosed, but the deal does include a fifth-year option.
| Footballguys view: Mauigoa should start out at guard and help the Giants offensive line right away with his natural power and footwork. He has a high ceiling whether he ends up moving back to his college position of tackle or stays at guard, and the Giants reportedly had the #10 overall pick in their top four. |

San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey did not practice Thursday, and the team plans to take a 'cautious' approach with McCaffrey throughout the offseason program and training camp.
| Footballguys view: McCaffrey soon will turn 30. That raises questions about managing his workload moving forward. "I think the workload in our sport is really monitored in practice, not in games," he said. So for McCaffrey, workload management happens in the days between the games. After an Achilles injury followed by a knee injury limited McCaffrey to four games in 2024, he started every game in 2025 and finished with more than 400 touches. Even if it makes sense to lighten his load, the Niners have rarely done that in games. We don't expect them to start this season. |

49ers | Surgery for Isaac Guerendo Thu May 28, 06:55 PM
San Francisco 49ers RB Isaac Guerendo (pectoral) has undergone surgery to repair a torn pectoral.
| Footballguys view: It was already expected to be a competitive battle for touches in the 49ers' running back room in 2026. Now, Guerendo faces another obstacle. "It's not a season-ender," Shanahan said. "But it's right around the end of training camp." With second-year man Jordan James and 2026 third-round pick Kaelon Black competing for reps behind Christian McCaffrey, an absence isn't great news for Guerendo. We'll watch for more. |

New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson did not participate in seven-on-seven drills during the voluntary workout Thursday, May 28. The Saints plan to have him more involved in upcoming workouts with the hope that he is a full participant when training camp begins.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today noted, injury concerns were the biggest red flag on Tyson's college scouting report; he played through a hamstring issue last season that lingered into the pre-draft process, and the Saints are managing him carefully. Taking it slowly and not rushing him into full reps before his body is ready for it in May just makes sense. We'll monitor and report back as needed. |

Saints | Kendre Miller recovering Thu May 28, 05:43 PM
New Orleans Saints RB Kendre Miller (knee) is still recovering from the knee injury he suffered during the 2025 season and is unlikely to do much during offseason workouts, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: Miller hasn't played more than eight games in a season throughout his three-year NFL career. The focus right now is simply on getting healthy, staying healthy, and staying on track to return to the field. Miller has certainly shown upside when available, showcasing a burst and physicality that made him an intriguing Day 2 draft pick. However, availability is the best ability, as some say, and that's been the biggest obstacle for him early in his career. The Saints landed former Jacksonville Jaguar Travis Etienne Jr. on a four-year deal. He's expected to be the lead back this year. |

According to head coach Kyle Shanahan, the decision was precautionary. "His shoulder was a little sore today," Shanahan explained. "He said he could have gone through it, but it was unnecessary, and it gave a chance for other guys to get more reps." We'll follow up as needed. |
