Packers | LaFluer: Packers will let the process play out with Josh Jacobs Wed May 27, 12:37 PM
Packers head coach Matt LaFleur opened a Wednesday press conference by making his first public comments on running back Josh Jacobs' arrest. "I'm gonna stick with the statement that we put out as an organization and just let the process play out," LaFleur said, via Michael Gross of Fox 11 News.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs was arrested in Wisconsin over the weekend and faces five criminal charges, including a felony charge of strangulation. The Packers released a statement saying they were aware of the matter and declining further comment. LaFleur was asked whether the team would be making plans to play without Jacobs for some portion of the season and said, "A lot's gonna happen between now and then" before answering another question about the overall makeup of the running back group. "I like the guys that we have, but, certainly, you can never have enough," LaFleur said. Stay tuned. |

49ers | Mac Jones has incentives added Wed May 27, 09:22 AM
San Francisco 49ers QB Mac Jones agreed to a revised contract Wednesday, May 27, that added a $300,000 roster bonus. He's now set to make $3.55 million in 2026 with another $2.25 million available in incentives.
| Footballguys view: Fantasy managers invested in this offense benefit from this move. Jones started eight games for the 49ers while Purdy was sidelined with a toe injury during the 2025 season. He kept the offense on schedule and kept the associated skill players on point. As Profootballtalk.com suggests, the Niners would prefer to turn to him less often this year, but the team's 5-3 record with Jones shows why they value having him on hand. |

49ers | Christian McCaffrey to see lessened workload in 2026? Wed May 27, 12:30 AM
San Francisco 49ers RB Christian McCaffrey could have his touches managed a bit more in 2026 to keep him fresher, in the opinion of 49ersWebZone's David Bonilla on Tuesday, May 26.
| Footballguys view: After an injury-plagued 2024 season, McCaffrey was NFL Comeback Player of the Year after a 2025 campaign that included 2,126 scrimmage yards and 17 touchdowns on a league-high 413 touches. Kyle Shanahan thinks it was too much. "Last year was the worst we had been at it," the coach said of managing McCaffrey's workload. In an effort to lessen that burden, the 49ers hope second-year man Jordan James and 2026 third-round pick Kaelon Black can provide a change-of-paces options to lighten CMC's load. Still, expecting McCaffrey to get anything but the lion's share of the work here is a stretch. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs' charges include a felony Wed May 27, 12:29 AM
Green Bay Packers star running back Josh Jacobs was arrested Tuesday and booked on several domestic violence charge. According to Brown County jail records, the strangulation and suffocation charge is a felony, and the other four charges are misdemeanors. According to the records, Jacobs was being held without bond.
| Footballguys view: As noted in a previous item, Jacobs, through his attorneys, denied the allegations. A first-team All-Pro in 2022 with the Raiders, Jacobs is entering his third season with the Packers after signing with the team in free agency in 2024. Last season, he scored 14 total touchdowns (13 rushing) and totaled 1,211 yards in 15 games. The Packers said they were aware of the matter involving Jacobs. The NFL has also been in contact with the Packers. Green Bay began OTAs on Tuesday, and coach Matt LaFleur has a scheduled availability with the media later today. |

Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes active at OTAs Wed May 27, 12:25 AM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes participated in the team's OTA on Tuesday, May 26, according to a video posted by the Chiefs.
| Footballguys view: It is unclear in what capacity Mahomes participated in OTAs, but just being on the field dropping back to pass is a positive sign. He was wearing a brace that covered his entire left leg. The Chiefs open their season on Sept. 14 against the Broncos on Monday Night Football, just a day before Mahomes will have reached the nine-month recovery timetable for his injury. The two-time MVP has made it abundantly clear he wants to play Week 1 when the Chiefs take on the defending AFC West champs. So far, Mahomes appears to be on track. |

Colts | Daniel Jones participates in OTAs Wed May 27, 12:20 AM
Indianapolis Colts QB Daniel Jones participated in OTAs in some capacity on Tuesday, May 2. He's closing in on six months post right Achilles surgery.
| Footballguys view: Acording to ESPN.com's Stephen Holder, this reflects what the Colts predicted in recent weeks: That Jones would take some snaps in individual drills this offseason. He's not expected to participate in full team periods, but he's certainly on schedule. Holder added that there's no PUP list for training camp expected at this point. We'll continue to watch for more while reminding you that Jones' QB26 Average Draft Position suggests the market isn't as sold on a timely return as the Colts are. He's a value now, but continued positive news will drive the price up. |

Cardinals | Jacoby Brissett absent from OTAs Wed May 27, 12:18 AM
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett did not report to organized team activities on Tuesday, May 26, as he continues his hold out.
| Footballguys view: This was expected. Brissett wants a contract that reflects his starting status with the team. He has not attended any of the team's prior voluntary OTAs or the voluntary offseason program as he awaits a new deal. Even with recent reports suggesting the two sides are far apart, Brissett should be in attendance for a mandatory minicamp in June -- with or without a new contract. We'll be watching for that. Meanwhile, rookie Carson Beck and veteran Gardner Minshew continue to get additional work in OTAs. |

Jaguars | Parker Washington in line for an extension? Wed May 27, 12:17 AM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Parker Washington could be in line for a contract extension similar to what Green Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed received and what Seattle Seahawks WR Rashid Shaheed received in free agency, in the opinion of Sports Illustrated's John Shipley on Tuesday, May 26.
| Footballguys view: After flashes during his first two seasons, in which his second year saw his production take a solid step forward, Washington took his game to another level in 2025. After an injury to Travis Hunter ahead of Week 9 led the Jaguars to elevate Washington's role, he became arguably the Jaguars' most productive receiver. Washington set career-highs and led the team with 58 receptions for 847 yards and five touchdowns last season. Extension or not, Washington is currently being drafted as WR39, after teammate Brian Thomas, Jr. (WR36). |

Seahawks | Tory Horton on track to practice? Wed May 27, 12:16 AM
Seattle Seahawks WR Tory Horton (shin/groin) has reportedly received some good news medically that should allow him to accelerate his process for getting back, with 'a chance he can do some stuff toward the end of spring', according to head coach Mike Macdonald on Tuesday, May 26.
| Footballguys view: A fifth-round pick in 2025, Horton made 13 catches for 161 yards and five touchdowns and also contributed a 95-yard punt return touchdown. But he had a shin injury in Week 9 that ended his season. Horton underwent surgery, and his timetable for a return has been uncertain. The fact that he could hit the field soon opens the door to Horton being available in Week 1. |
Chargers | Derwin James, LAC agree to extension Wed May 27, 12:15 AM
Los Angeles Chargers S Derwin James and the Chargers have reportedly agreed on a contract extension for three years and $75.6 million on Tuesday, May 26.
| Footballguys view: James was a first-round pick in 2018 and he has started every game he's played since joining the Chargers. He was named a second-team All-Pro for the third time after posting 94 tackles, three interceptions, two sacks, and a forced fumble last season. James is second among safeties on the Footballguys IDP Draft Rankings. |

Packers | Josh Jacobs arrested and booked on domestic abuse charges Tue May 26, 06:49 PM
After a complaint on May 23 and a subsequent investigation, Packers RB Josh Jacobs was arrested this morning and booked into Brown County Jail on five charges: battery/domestic abuse, criminal damage to property/domestic abuse, disorderly conduct/domestic abuse, strangulation and suffocation, and intimidation of a victim.
| Footballguys view: While it's far too early to assess the fallout, we wanted to get it on your radar. These are serious charges -- but at this point, they're just that, and Jacobs, through his attorney, "vehemently denies the allegations." The Packers offered the following comment: "We are aware of the matter involving Josh Jacobs. As it is an ongoing legal situation, we will withhold further comment." The NFL is also aware. We'll obviously be following up as developments warrant, but if you're in the middle of a draft, avoiding the situation until we get more information isn't a horrible idea. |

Texans | Nico Collins, HOU agree to contract adjustment Tue May 26, 04:27 PM
Houston Texans WR Nico Collins and the Texans have agreed to an adjusted contract that guarantees his salary in 2027 and includes a $9 million cash increase in 2026 and an $8 million cash increase in 2027, a source told KPRC.com's Aaron Wilson.
| Footballguys view: Collins is 10th among receivers in receiving yards (2,123), fourth in receiving yards per game (78.4), and tied for 14th in touchdowns (13) since 2024. He heads into 2026 being drafted as WR9 -- mirroring his Footballguys 2026 Draft projection -- with the 24th pick overall. Working in a run-heavy offense, with a still-unproven quarterback in C.J. Stroud, and for a team with the best defense in the NFL hasn't been an issue. And Stroud's willingness to push the ball downfield maximizes Collins profile, giving him a low-end WR1 floor and an explosive weekly ceiling on fewer targets. |

Link to story Buccaneers | Bucky Irving expected back in 'Summer or Fall' Tue May 26, 01:32 PM
Bucs HC Todd Bowles says he expects RB Bucky Irving to be back later "in the summer or fall" as he recovers from shoulder surgery.
| Footballguys view: While multiple reporters are indicating a summer return is more likely, the fact that Bowles mentioned this could carry into fall is an eyebrow raiser. After a 1,000-yard rookie season, Irving rushed for 588 yards with one touchdown and caught 30 passes for 277 yards with three TDs last season. There's still time before the season starts, but this is worth watching. Kenneth Gainwell and Sean Tucker are the other primary backs on the roster. |
Ravens | Lamar Jackson back at OTAs Tue May 26, 01:08 PM
Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson was at OTAs on Tuesday, May 26, after missing sessions with the team the week prior.
| Footballguys view: Tuesday's workout is the team's fourth of nine scheduled OTAs this year. The sessions are all voluntary, but as Profootballtalk.com notes, Jackson has a $750,000 bonus tied to his attendance at 80 percent of the team's offseason program. Jackson did not attend enough sessions to qualify for that bonus for the last two years. Jackson was working in a familiar offense in those seasons, but the Ravens have a new offensive coordinator in Declan Doyle in Minter's first season in the top job for Baltimore. |

Raiders | Ashton Jeanty will rarely leave the field Tue May 26, 11:54 AM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Ashton Jeanty will be a player that rarely leaves the field, according to head coach Klint Kubiak. 'We want to put a lot of pressure on Ashton,' Kubiak said. 'I don't know the play snap percentage, but you look at Christian McCaffrey, his play snap percentage is high. So, those great backs, they don't want to come off the field.'
| Footballguys view: Even after Las Vegas drafted former Arkansas RB Mike Washington Jr. in the fourth round, creating the assumption he would cut into Jeanty's workload, Kubiak preached the opposite after the team's second OTA practice last Wednesday. He understands that if his offense is going to function properly, it will need more out of Jeanty after he led all rookies in rushing yards (975) and yards from scrimmage (1,321). With a better scheme in place, improvement on the offensive line, and a year of experience, Jeanty, who is being drafted as RB7, is in a position to break out. |

Titans | Wan'Dale Robinson building chemistry with QB Tue May 26, 01:45 AM
Tennessee Titans WR Wan'Dale Robinson said he has been able to work on his chemistry with QB Cam Ward this offseason and has been talking with him about how to run certain routes.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today's Serena Burks suggests, Robinson taking the initiative to get the communication with Ward rolling will only make that bond stronger. Between Robinson, Carnell Tate, and returning veteran Calvin Ridley, plus Elic Ayomanor and Chimere Dike, Ward definitely has weapons at his disposal in 2026. Now, the Titans just have to figure out how to make the best use of all of the talent they have available. But his experience playing in OC Brian Daboll's offense gives Robinson a head start. |

Texans | Cade Stover healthy Mon May 25, 02:56 PM
Houston Texans TE Cade Stover (hernia, knee) has recovered from offseason hernia surgery and is participating in offseason workouts, according to sources. He was also dealing with partially torn medial collateral and posterior cruciate ligaments after the season but did not need surgery on those injuries.
| Footballguys view: Stover is currently cross-training as a blocking fullback in offensive coordinator Nick Caley's system while continuing to play tight end. The Texans also have Dalton Schultz, who caught a team-high and career-high 82 passes, second-round pick Marlin Klein, former New Orleans Saints starter Foster Moreau, and Brevin Jordan, who's making a sound recovery from a torn patellar tendon that sidelined him for the entire season one year after tearing his ACL. The battle for playing time, especially for the second and third tight end positions on the depth chart, is where Stover will compete this summer. |
Ravens | DeAndre Hopkins not expected back Mon May 25, 02:32 PM
Free-agent WR DeAndre Hopkins (Ravens) is unlikely to re-sign with the Baltimore Ravens this offseason after the team drafted WR Ja'Kobi Lane and WR Elijah Sarratt, in the opinion of RavensWire's Glenn Erby.
| Footballguys view: Given the circumstances, it's worth noting that Hopkins commented on Joe Burrow and the Bengals recently, and Bleacher Report's Kristopher Knox recently argued that it's the one move the Bengals must still make this offseason. According to Knox, "Wide receiver isn't a glaring need for Cincinnati . . . However, the Bengals lack dependable depth behind those three, and Hopkins looms as a logical addition." As USA Today's Chris Roling suggests, such a move wouldn't make or break the offseason for the Bengals, but at this point, it wouldn't be a shocker, either. |

Link to story Chiefs | Rashee Rice could face four-game suspension Mon May 25, 11:17 AM
Updating previous reports, Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice could face a suspension of up to four games for violating the personal conduct policy. The policy has a provision that applies to violations of the law regarding 'substances of abuse,' which includes marijuana. It allows the commissioner to suspend the player for up to four games.
| Footballguys view: As PFT's Mike Florio suggests, the NFL may decide that 30 days in jail is enough. Rice will miss the most important part of the offseason program. He'll miss the mandatory minicamp and likely be fined upwards of $100,000. He won't be able to rehab his recent knee surgery. Or the league may decide that Rice caught a break with last year's six-game suspension, given the behavior that caused it. For now, the league is saying nothing. In time, it will become clear whether the league does or doesn't plan to sideline Rice to start the 2026 season. Stay tuned. |

Jets | Breece Hall to be busy? Mon May 25, 12:08 AM
New York Jets RB Breece Hall will be an important part of what the Jets do on offense, according to offensive coordinator Frank Reich. 'Listen, it's certainly going to be no secret or surprise to say that we're going to want to run the football, and so we'll continue to emphasize that,' Reich said. 'These guys ran the ball pretty well last year, so we'll build on that.'
| Footballguys view: While Hall has never finished better than 13th in rushing yards in a season, he hasn't been the issue. The limited touches working in an offense, throwing the ball in catch-up mode, were more responsible. But we've seen Hall used in the passing game. He was a true dual threat in 2023 (he was RB2 overall that season) and 2024, when he produced a combined 133 receptions. The Jets should get improved quarterback play. Geno Smith is an upgrade over Justin Fields, and additions to the receiving corps should create space for Hall in the run game. |
Jets | Cade Klubnik off to solid start Mon May 25, 12:07 AM
New York Jets QB Cade Klubnik 'looked good' at rookie minicamp, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN.com, and Klubnik remains in the mix for the backup quarterback job as OTAs begin.
| Footballguys view: According to ESPN.com's Rich Cimini, the Jets haven't signed a veteran because they want to see what Klubnik can do over the next month. That goes for Brady Cook and Bailey Zappe, too, but it's really about Klubnik. And while Klubnik looked good, that was against mostly undrafted free agents and tryout players. The speed will intensify at OTAs, which should give the coaches a better idea of his ability to absorb and execute the system. The Jets have been in contact with a number of free agents, most notably Russell Wilson, in case the need for a veteran arises. |
Cardinals | Marvin Harrison Jr. at crossroads in Year 3 Mon May 25, 12:00 AM
Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. is heading into Year 3 after two mostly underwhelming seasons. He jelled nicely with QB Jacoby Brissett, who could be the starting quarterback in 2025, but it's possible he has to work with journeyman QB Gardner Minshew or rookie QB Carson Beck, which could stunt his growth.
| Footballguys view: The relative uncertainty at the quarterback position could limit how quickly Harrison builds chemistry with a quarterback in this new system. But as NFL.com's Nick Shook suggests, the 23-year-old isn't suddenly devoid of talent. After two years spent under defensive-minded coach Jonathan Gannon, the difference might come down to who is designing the offense. This year, it will be the offensive-minded Mike LaFleur. Harrison will need to capitalize before long, though, or we could start looking at him as a bust. |

Miami Dolphins QB Malik Willis has been told to focus on learning the offensive system and can work on becoming a team leader later, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.
| Footballguys view: The Dolphins GM has said that they gave Willis a three-year deal because they want to build a team around him. This is consistent with that approach- namely a long term commitment to Willis, as opposed to a one-year "prove it" evaluation timeframe. Willis has more value in superflex dynasty leagues than the fantasy community is assigning to him. |
Panthers | Three could compete for No. 3 WR spot Sun May 24, 05:39 PM
Carolina Panthers WRs Xavier Legette, John Metchie and Chris Brazzell II may compete for the No. 3 receiver job during the offseason workouts and training camp, in the opinion of PanthersWire's Anthony Rizzuti.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers pass offense isn't at the level where it can support three fantasy relevant wide receivers, but if Legette starts to show first round pick promise or Brazzell is ready for prime time as a third round rookie, it will help Bryce Young and really the whole offense take a step forward. 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 Young's deep ball. |
Saints | Lorenzo Styles Jr. aiming for training camp Sun May 24, 05:32 PM
New Orleans Saints DB Lorenzo Styles Jr. (shoulder) continues to rehab his shoulder injury, and he will not see the field until training camp. He could be a candidate to replace departed nickel CB Alontae Taylor, and he might also have a spot on special teams. 'Oftentimes for guys on [Day 3], the path to the roster is special teams,' general manager Mickey Loomis said. 'So, it's either they have experience in their college career or they have the traits that we think are necessary to become special teams players.'
Link to story Saints | Jeremiah Wright has pathway to start Sun May 24, 05:12 PM
New Orleans Saints OG Jeremiah Wright is unlikely to supplant OG David Edwards, who was signed to be the starting left guard.

He's going to come in and immediately add size and power to our offensive line and [we'll] see how he develops,' Loomis said. His best opportunity to get on the field would be beating out OG Cesar Ruiz at right guard.

'Obviously he has athleticism. We saw that on film. The physicality I think he plays with will show up as we progress, particularly in pads,' head coach Kellen Moore said. 'That'll be a big part of this thing because from a tight end perspective, that's a deep group now, which is a positive.'

He is a candidate for an extension, and general manager Joe Hortiz is hopeful James will finish his career in L.A. 'He's such a special, special leader and person,' Hortiz said. 'Like Justin (Herbert), the talent is real and it's there, but the leader and motivator and energy he gives to everybody within the organization, throughout the entire building, it's so unique.
