Steelers | Aaron Rodgers tagged with rare tender Tue Apr 28, 10:46 AM
Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Steelers) received a right-of-first-refusal tender Tuesday, April 28, which means he can accept a 10% raise off last year's salary, which would pay him about $15 million this season. It also means the Steelers can match any offer he signs with another team, and forbidding him the ability to sign with another team once training camp begins.
| Footballguys view: Rodgers, who spent the 2025 season with the Steelers after a prolonged offseason courtship, has been weighing his options for the upcoming season over the past three months. GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy indicated last week that there isn't a timeline or a deadline to hear from the 42-year-old quarterback. The Steelers selected QB Drew Allar in the third round of the NFL draft, but McCarthy said the move was unrelated to Rodgers' decision. But today's move is directly related. Essentially, Rodgers is locked in with the Steelers for when he decides if he wants to play. |

Rams | Ty Simpson had private meetings with Sean McVay Tue Apr 28, 10:41 AM
Los Angeles Rams first-round pick QB Ty Simpson said he had private meetings with head coach Sean McVay before they selected him in the first round of the NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: "They wanted to make it private and didn't want people to know that they were interested," Simpson said Monday via ESPN's Sarah Barshop. "I was trying to be on script and do what everybody told me and not to tell anybody." Telling the QB not to say anything about meeting with McVay makes sense. It also adds further context to McVay's body language immediately after the pick, which made it seem as if the coach wasn't on board with selecting Simpson 13th overall. All of this looks increasingly like an effort to be respectful of current starter Matthew Stafford. |
Cardinals | Tyler Allgeier thought he was starting Tue Apr 28, 09:49 AM
Arizona Cardinals RB Tyler Allgeier signed with the Cardinals in the offseason because he believed he would be the lead running back.
| Footballguys view: The arrival of Jeremiyah Love, the third pick overall in last week's draft, puts Allgeier in familiar territory. He spent the past three years playing behind Bijan Robinson in Atlanta. Barring injury issues for Love, Allgeier has almost no path to a front-line fantasy role this season. All that said, Allgeier did benefit from a goal-line role in Atlanta. He scored a career-high eight touchdowns last season. We may see a similar role if the Cardinals find themselves near the goal line this fall. For now, Allgeier is RB48 on the Footballguys projections. Love opens as RB10. |
Dolphins | Miami interested in Jauan Jennings Tue Apr 28, 12:51 AM
Free-agent WR Jauan Jennings (49ers) has been receiving interest from the Miami Dolphins this offseason, but the Dolphins to not have the salary cap space to sign him at this point, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: The Dolphins, who traded Jaylen Waddle and released Tyreek Hill and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, have been adding wideouts on the cheap since. They signed Jalen Tolbert and Tutu Atwell in the first wave of free agency, then selected three -- Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell, and Kevin Coleman Jr. -- in last week's NFL Draft. While it's a reach financially, if he lands in Miami, Jennings, who caught a career-high nine touchdowns with the Niners last season, would likely be the team's top wideout. |

Bills | Buffalo not moving Keon Coleman Tue Apr 28, 12:44 AM
Buffalo Bills WR Keon Coleman has received trade interest this offseason, but general manager Brandon Beane said the team is not interested in trading Coleman.
| Footballguys view: Coleman has had two inconsistent seasons with the Bills. He was disciplined last November for being late to a meeting and was a healthy scratch for four games. By the end of 2025, Coleman was Buffalo's sixth wide receiver. He had 38 catches for 404 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games this past season. Even if he's sticking around, the team used a fourth-round pick this year on UConn wide receiver Skyler Bell to add to a receiver room that also includes DJ Moore, Khalil Shakir, and Joshua Palmer. |

Cowboys | George Pickens has not signed yet Mon Apr 27, 01:12 PM
Dallas Cowboys franchise free-agent WR George Pickens has not signed his tender offer at this point.
| Footballguys view: ESPN.com's Todd Archer added in the replies to his initial post that the news isn't that Pickens is refusing to sign, just that he hasn't yet. Once he does, Pickens will make a guaranteed $27.3 million this season, and he will report to the mandatory minicamp in June and training camp or be subject to fines. It also opens up the possibility of Pickens being traded, although the Cowboys say that won't happen. For now, as The Sporting News suggests, this is a situation where the timeline is wonky, but the outcome may still be fine. Stay tuned for more. |
Vikings | Jordan Addison's option picked up Mon Apr 27, 01:09 PM
Minnesota Vikings WR Jordan Addison had his fifth-year option picked up Monday, April 27.
| Footballguys view: Addison is now set to make $18 million guaranteed in the final year of his rookie deal. The No. 23 overall pick of the 2023 draft, Addison has been productive in each of his three seasons, playing alongside one of the league's top receivers in Justin Jefferson. In 2025, Addison caught 42 passes for 610 yards with three touchdowns in 14 games. Over the course of his three seasons, Addison has 175 receptions for 2,396 yards with 22 touchdowns. While he's best viewed as a fantasy WR4, having Kyler Murray as his QB could push Addison closer to WR3 territory. |

Link to story Steelers | Former coach thinks Aaron Rodgers returns Mon Apr 27, 09:14 AM
Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Steelers) returning to the Pittsburgh Steelers is the most-likely scenario, according to former head coach Mike Tomlin.
| Footballguys view: If Rodgers plays, it will presumably be for the Steelers. For now, there's been no public announcement about his future. While recent reporting suggested Rodgers would have a decision before last week's NFL Draft, that obviously wasn't the case -- at least not one for public consumption. That said, believing the Steelers have a better understanding of the veteran QB's plan than they're letting on isn't a reach. Meanwhile, the Steelers made it clear that the decision to use a third-round pick on former Penn State quarterback Drew Allar has no bearing on Rodgers. We'll continue to watch for more. |

49ers | Brandon Aiyuk remains on trade block Mon Apr 27, 12:37 AM
San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk was not traded during the 2026 NFL Draft, but general manager John Lynch still hopes to move the receiver. 'No new update right now,' Lynch said regarding Aiyuk on Saturday during his post-draft news conference, per team transcript. 'We're available. Give us a call. And like I said earlier, I think it's the prudent thing to do. He's an extremely talented player. He's been an extremely effective player in our league; situation didn't work itself out here.'
| Footballguys view: Aiyuk has been destined for a San Francisco exit for months now after the team placed him on the reserve/left squad list in December. Lynch acknowledged in January that it was "safe to say" Aiyuk had played his last down as a Niner, but they seem intent on getting something in return. "Not anytime soon," Lynch said when asked if he was planning on releasing Aiyuk. It's in the team's best interest to be patient and see what kind of offers come as the season draws nearer. |

Cardinals | Tre Wallace headed to Arizona Mon Apr 27, 12:30 AM
Ole Miss WR Tre Wallace has signed as an undrafted free agent with the Arizona Cardinals. He receives a $40,000 signing bonus, and he will have a guaranteed salary of $247,500.
| Footballguys view: According to the Footballguys 2026 Rookie Draft Guide, Wallace is an experienced receiver best suited to a supporting role in the intermediate and deep areas of the field. He has performed in big moments and shown a willingness to work over the middle of the field. But Wallace is best suited for a supporting role down an NFL depth chart. |
Ravens | Adam Randall personally picked by owner Mon Apr 27, 12:27 AM
Baltimore Ravens RB Adam Randall, selected at No. 174 overall in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, was personally selected by team owner Steve Bisciotti. 'When we were down in Florida, Steve was begging for a draft pick and he owns the team. I said, 'Yes, Steve, of course you can have a draft pick,'' general manager Eric DeCosta said. 'So we decided on our last fifth-round pick. He did his research and studied the tape, talked to people. He has a really good relationship with the Clemson head coach [Dabo Swinney].'
| Footballguys view: Randall is an intriguing prospect as a converted wide receiver. He's an imposing physical presence at 6-3, 232 pounds. He has elite athleticism with a 4.5-second 40-yard dash at his size. In his first year as a starter last season, Randall posted 814 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns and caught 36 passes for 254 yards and another three scores. He also offers additional positional value as a kickoff returner who averaged 23.2 yards on 13 attempts. With Derrick Henry entering his year-32 season, adding a potential RB of the future makes sense -- even if the process was odd. |
Browns | Aaron Anderson finds home in Cleveland Mon Apr 27, 12:26 AM
LSU WR Aaron Anderson signed with the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent.
| Footballguys view: According to the Footballguys 2026 Rookie Draft Guide, Anderson combines a strong, compact frame with quick-twitch ability as a slot receiver capable of extending to the vertical passing game. As the NFL has trended toward passes closer to the line of scrimmage, Anderson's ceiling outcome makes him a potential fantasy contributor. His landing spot, however, isn't great. The Browns selected wideouts KC Concepcion (with the 24th pick overall on Thursday) and Denzel Boston (in Round 2 on Friday). In addition, Jerry Jeudy heads the list of holdovers at the position. |
Lions | Miles Kitselman now a Lion Mon Apr 27, 12:23 AM
Tennessee TE Miles Kitselman signed with the Detroit Lions as an undrafted free agent.
| Footballguys view: According to the Footballguys 2026 Rookie Draft Guide, Kitselman will be more useful for the Lions than for a fantasy team, and his limitations as a receiver will keep him low on depth charts until he improves his route-running ability. NFL.com's Lance Zierlein concurs, noting Kitselman "could find work as a TE3/4." |
