Link to story Buccaneers | Emeka Egbuka to settle in as "Z" outside receiver Tue May 12, 04:05 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Emeka Egbuka will reportedly settle in as the 'Z' outside receiver, or flanker, after playing numerous spots as a rookie, according to Buccaneers.com's Scott Smith on Tuesday, May 12.
| Footballguys view: Incoming Bucs offensive coordinator Zac Robinson used to coach Cooper Kupp with the Rams, and he said on Tuesday that Egbuka has a very similar approach and instincts. The coach also confirmed the plan is for Egbuka to settle into the flanker role in the team's base offense, but that his football instincts make it easy to move him around in order to exploit matchups and maximize the production of the passing game this fall. Egbuka, who was WR4 over the first five games last year, is currently being drafted as WR19. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB Bucky Irving (shoulder) will be limited at the start of OTAs.
| Footballguys view: Irving is recovering from off-season shoulder surgery. According to local reports, the hope is that he'll be fully cleared by training camp. While he has been participating in rehab, team officials are taking a cautious approach to his return to full practice. We'll be watching for more on Irving in coming weeks. In the meantime, free-agent addition Kenneth Gainwell will get more work as the team installs new coordinator Zac Robinson's scheme. |
Bills | Shane Zylstra signing with Buffalo Tue May 12, 02:15 PM

| Footballguys view: Zylstra has appeared in 35 games with six starts in his career, all for the Lions. He's caught 18 passes for 136 yards with four touchdowns. Primarily a blocker, Zylstra joins a depth chart with Dalton Kincaid, Dawson Knox, and Jackson Hawes ahead of him. |

Titans | Carnell Tate signs rookie deal with Tennessee Tue May 12, 01:34 PM
Tennessee Titans WR Carnell Tate signed his rookie deal with the team on Tuesday, May 12. The contract is a four-year, $51.1 million deal that includes a $33,649,028 signing bonus.
| Footballguys view: As Footballguy Sigmund Bloom suggests, Tate will become Cam Ward's No. 1 receiver of the future and maybe present. Ward is an aggressive downfield passer, and Tate is a smooth separator and ball winner at all three levels of the field. Bloom advised readers to be willing to trade up for Tate, who should level off as a top 10-15 fantasy receiver as long as Ward's upward trajectory coming out of last season continues. |
Buccaneers | Bucky Irving and Kenneth Gainwell seen in a similar way Tue May 12, 01:15 PM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Zac Robinson told the media that RB Bucky Irving and RB Kenneth Gainwell, 'can kind of match each other in certain ways with what they can do in the pass game.'
| Footballguys view: Gainwell, who was signed to replace the departed Rachaad White, rushed for 537 yards and five touchdowns on 4.7 yards per carry, and caught 73 passes for 486 yards and three touchdowns for the Steelers last year. He eclipsed 1,000 scrimmage yards on the season and was voted by his teammates as Steelers team MVP. With Irving coming off shoulder surgery performed earlier this year, Gainwell will get a chance to get a head start in the team's new offense. We expect a timeshare with Irving leading the way, but Gainwell's progress should be monitored. |

Buccaneers | Ted Hurst could fill X spot Tue May 12, 11:41 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers third-round pick WR Ted Hurst could fill the X-receiver spot, according to offensive coordinator Zac Robinson. Hurst can run, has great hands and is an instinctual player, according to Robinson.
| Footballguys view: According to Tampa Bay Times staffer Rick Stroud, Hurst "owned" the Bucs' first rookie minicamp, drawing the most targets and making the most catches over two days of practice. Hurst has big shoes to fill if he's going to handle the vacated Mike Evans role. But he has the size (6-4, 210 pounds) and speed (4.42) to be a true X receiver like Evans, who can stretch a defense both vertically and horizontally. Still, keep expectations in check as Hurst starts his career behind Emeka Egbuka, Chris Godwin Jr., and Jalen McMillan at the top of the depth chart. |
Commanders | Sonny Styles impresses Tue May 12, 11:25 AM
Washington Commanders first-round pick LB Sonny Styles impressed at rookie minicamp. According to beat writer JP Finlay, Styles looked fluid, quick and smart. In seven-on-seven passing drills, any time a pass went near the line of scrimmage or towards the middle of the field, it seemed like Styles was in perfect position to absolutely blast the receiver.
| Footballguys view: As Footballguy Sigmund Bloom noted, Styles is going to be an every-down linebacker who might have untapped potential to rack up sacks as a blitzer. The best case for taking Styles is that a 35-year-old Bobby Wagner was a top 10 fantasy linebacker last year, and Styles at his peak can be better. Bloom advises checking your scoring and lineups. If three off-ball linebackers start (or four with an IDP flex) and it's a tackle-heavy (2 points or more per tackle, 1 point or more per assist) league, Styles could be worth as high as the No. 3 pick. |
Chargers | McDaniel working to leverage Justin Herbert's strengths, efficiency Tue May 12, 11:08 AM
Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel outlined his plan to reshape the way Justin Herbert plays quarterback: refining Herbert's footwork, timing, and anticipation to unlock the "best football of his career." In McDaniel's first news conference, he said that he planned to make sure that the offense didn't rely too much on "Justin's ability to do above and beyond."
| Footballguys view: McDaniel pointed to the success Herbert has had with 2.4 seconds to throw or on extended plays. According to ESPN research, Herbert threw six touchdowns to three interceptions last season on throws released within 2.4 seconds. Once plays extended into the intermediate timing window, between roughly 2.4 and 3.5 seconds, his efficiency dipped. But when plays stretched beyond structure, Herbert again became one of the league's most productive quarterbacks, throwing 10 touchdowns while being sacked an NFL-high 49 times. With a bolstered offensive line and McDaniel on board, optimism is high. Herbert is currently QB8 on the Footballguys Projections. |

Texans | Nico Collins wants to play his entire career in Houston Tue May 12, 10:01 AM
When trade rumors swirled about Texans wide receiver Nico Collins ahead of the draft, general manager Nick Caserio didn't hesitate to make it clear that the team has no interest in parting ways with the wideout. Caserio said anyone thinking that a trade could happen "can shove it" because the Texans won't be making a deal. That sounds like it was music to Collins' ears because he said this weekend that he does not have any interest in wearing a different uniform. "I love the Texans," Collins said. "I got drafted here . . . It's definitely a place I would like to retire."
| Footballguys view: As PFT's Josh Alper notes, while Collins wants to stick around the Texans, the business side of things will always play a role in how a career plays out, and Collins has slipped down the list of best-paid wideouts since signing an extension in 2024. That deal could be revisited, but a failure to find common ground could lead to different thoughts about a shared future in Houston. For now, Collins, who finished as WR8 despite missing two games last season, heads into 2026 as WR9 on the Footballguys 2026 Draft Projections. |

Cardinals | LaFleur: good dialogue ongoing with Jacoby Brissett Tue May 12, 09:58 AM
Jacoby Brissett has not been taking part in the team's offseason workouts as he looks for an adjustment to his current contract. Coach Mike LaFleur was asked about where things stand regarding conversations that would lead to Brissett joining the team. "Ongoing. Everything's good from a dialogue standpoint," LaFleur said. "Like we said, this is voluntary. So that's where we'll leave it."
| Footballguys view: LaFleur was also asked if he felt "behind the 8-ball" because Brissett is missing time in a new offense. "He's played a lot of football," LaFleur said. "We're in communication; he knows what the expectation is." All signs point to a new deal getting done and Brissett, who was QB6 in 12 games as the starter last year, opening the season in that same role. But the Cardinals also went 1-11 in Brissett's starts. Meanwhile, Carson Beck and Gardner Minshew will be getting more work as long as Brissett is away from the team. We'll continue to monitor the situation. |
