49ers | Gabe Davis set to visit Mon May 12, 05:08 PM
Free-agent WR Gabe Davis (Jaguars) is scheduled to meet with the San Francisco 49ers in the near future, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: The Jaguars officially released Davis with a failed physical designation after he tore his meniscus in November, but he is expected to be ready to go for Week 1. As Profootballtalk.com notes, the 26-year-old Davis was a 2020 fourth-round pick of the Bills who played four seasons in Buffalo before signing in Jacksonville last season. He was a solid member of the Bills' receiving corps for four years but had his least productive season with the Jaguars. If he's healthy and in the right offense, he could be a solid contributor to some other team's passing game, and the 49ers may be that team. |

Cowboys | Jaydon Blue inks rookie deal Mon May 12, 03:50 PM
Dallas Cowboys fifth-round draft choice RB Jaydon Blue (Texas) signed his four-year rookie contract worth $4.627 million - including a $427,068 signing bonus - on Monday, May 12.
Link to story Cowboys | Dallas Doesn't Necessarily View George Pickens As A WR2 Mon May 12, 03:39 PM
During an interview with Adam Schein of Mad Dog Sports Radio, Cowboys executive vice president Stephen Jones said that the Cowboys think of newly-acquired WR George Pickens' as more than a two.'
| Footballguys view: Jones elaborated on that point to Albert Breer of SI.com. "He's just a dynamic receiver," Jones said. "Everybody says we're looking for a two. I mean, George can be a one. He's got that type of talent. He's got unbelievable ball-tracking ability. He's got plenty of juice, and he's a fiery competitor. We love that he plays with an edge and think he'd be a good fit for our team." While they might see him as a WR1, fantasy investors should view Pickens as the complement to CeeDee Lamb, which this offense has been missing. |
Packers | Green Bay optimistic about Savion Williams Mon May 12, 03:25 PM
Green Bay Packers WR Savion Williams already seems to have created quite an impression on offensive coordinator Adam Stenavich, who told reporters on Monday, May 12, that there is 'a zillion different ways to use him in your offense.'
| Footballguys view: Stenavich is going to be able to do quite a bit of things with Williams. They'll have to design touches for him, and they may be limited as things are crammed at the position in Green Bay. The Packers have 2025 first-round pick Matthew Golden, Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, and Christian Watson (after he returns from a torn ACL). |
Saints | Donovan Peoples-Jones lands in the Big Easy Mon May 12, 03:12 PM
Free-agent WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (Lions) reportedly agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the New Orleans Saints on Monday, May 12. Financial terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Peoples-Jones did not play football last year. In 2023, he split time between the Browns and the Lions where he started six games (five for the Browns, one for the Lions). He will compete for a roster spot behind the Saints top three receivers Chris Olave, Brandin Cooks, and Rashid Shaheed. |

Browns | Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah will not play in 2025 Mon May 12, 03:00 PM
Cleveland Browns LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah (neck) will be placed on the Reserve/Physically Unable to Perform list on Monday, May 12, and will remain there throughout the completion of the 2025 season.
| Footballguys view: A second-round pick out of Notre Dame in the 2021 draft, Owusu-Koramoah was named to his first Pro Bowl after recording a career-high 101 tackles in the 2023 season. The Browns signed him to a three-year extension worth up to $39 million last August. Last month, the Browns drafted former UCLA linebacker Carson Schwesinger with the 33rd pick. This offseason, Cleveland re-signed linebacker Devin Bush to a one-year deal and signed veteran linebacker Jerome Baker to a one-year contract. |

Undrafted free-agent WR Kyrese White (Utah State) signed an undisclosed contract with the Denver Broncos on Monday, May 12.
| Footballguys view: White was impressive at Broncos rookie minicamp, and he's a quick receiver on underneath routes. Last year at Utah State, White had 44 receptions for 526 yards and three touchdowns. The Broncos receiver room is packed with talent, so White is likely bound for the practice squad if he continues to impress. |

Bengals | No movement on Trey Hendrickson extension Mon May 12, 01:19 PM
Cincinnati Bengals DE Trey Hendrickson told ESPN on Monday, May 12, that 'no communication has taken place between my camp and the organization post-draft.'
| Footballguys view: Hendrickson, 30, is entering the final year of his contract and is coming off his best season in the NFL. He led the league with 17.5 sacks last season and was named to The AP All-Pro team. He's made the Pro Bowl in each of his four seasons with Cincinnati. In 2023, he was given a one-year extension on the four-year, $60 million deal he signed as a free agent in 2021. Last offseason, he requested a trade after the team opted not to give him a new deal. He ultimately reported for voluntary workouts. Hendrickson is set to earn $15.8 million in base salary this season. The Bengals will begin organized team activities later this month. Hendrickson isn't the only defensive end on the roster looking to resolve a contract issue. Shemar Stewart, the 17th pick in this year's draft, did not participate in last week's rookie minicamp because his contract remained unsigned. |

Falcons | James Pearce Jr. signs rookie deal Mon May 12, 10:17 AM
Atlanta Falcons first-round pick LB James Pearce Jr. signed his four-year, rookie contract Monday, May 12. Financial terms weren't disclosed, but it's fully guaranteed, and all first-round picks receive fifth-year options.
| Footballguys view: Pearce knows how to get after the passer. He's quick off the line of scrimmage, and Pearce has great burst when the quarterback is in his sights. Pearce should bulk up a bit in a pro weight program, and that will help him against punches from stronger tackles. |
Eagles | Kyle McCord may have edge for No. 3 QB job Mon May 12, 10:02 AM
Philadelphia Eagles QB Kyle McCord will compete with QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson for the No. 3 quarterback job but likely will have an edge over Thompson-Robinson since he was selected in the 2025 NFL Draft, in the opinion of NBC Sports Philadelphia's Dave Zangaro.
| Footballguys view: While the sixth-round pick used to select Kyle McCord out of Syracuse doesn't guarantee that spot, it should give him the upper hand. The Eagles got Thompson-Robinson back in a trade with the Browns earlier this offseason and thought he'd be a good player to bring in to develop. But Zangaro believes Thompson-Robinson might be on the outside of the position group. The top two -- Jalen Hurts and Tanner McKee -- are locked into their spots as starter and backup going into the 2025 season. This is a bump for McKee, who was the No. 3 last year behind Hurts and Kenny Pickett, who was traded to Cleveland. |

Bears | Luther Burden on field Sunday Sun May 11, 05:07 PM
Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (undisclosed) participated in practice Sunday, May 11, after suffering what appeared to be an undisclosed injury during practice Saturday, May 10.

Link to story Browns | Dillon Gabriel fine with Shedeur Sanders pick Sun May 11, 03:10 PM
Cleveland Browns QB Dillon Gabriel said he loves that the Browns selected QB Shedeur Sanders in the 2025 NFL Draft because they can learn from each other.
| Footballguys view: What else is he supposed to say? The Browns have an unsettled quarterback situation, with Gabriel, Sanders, Joe Flacco, and Kenny Pickett all set to establish a pecking order. The Sanders pick was much later than expected, and he may not get much of a chance to impress when all four quarterbacks are at minicamp later this spring. One or both of the rookies may be bound for third-string duties or a practice squad spot. |

Link to story Texans | Rookie WRs can carve out role early? Sun May 11, 02:20 PM
Jonathan M. Alexander, from the Houston Chronicle, reports Houston Texans rookie WRs Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel will have opportunities "to carve out roles early on behind Nico Collins and Christian Kirk."
| Footballguys view: We love the upside of both Higgins and Noel in dynasty formats, but there could be some more fantasy value mined this year with these college (and now pro) teammates. Higgins has the upside to be an outside threat, and his ball-tracking ability makes him a potential favorite deep target for QB CJ Stroud. Noel is likely directly behind Kirk, and he's kind of the slot-receiver-of-the-future. Kirk is not going to just be swept out of the way by this rookie duo, and the veteran has value as a potential PPR flex play in the Texans' offense. |

Jaguars | Rookie WR/CB Hunter will 'start to roll' on defense soon Sun May 11, 02:18 PM
Josh Alper, from ProFootballTalk.com, reports Jacksonville Jaguars HC Liam Coen says no.2 overall pick WR/CB Travis Hunter will 'start to roll' on defense next week.
| Footballguys view: Hunter is an amazing player with a ton of upside as a receiver in the Jagaurs offense. He began his rookie minicamp primarily on the offensive side of the ball, and Coen has previously said that the two-way Colorado superstar is going to mostly be on offense while getting some defensive work too. Hunter will play as large of a role as he possibly can on defense, and the preparation begins this week. |
Steelers | Veteran RB Sermon Signed Sun May 11, 02:15 PM
Jordan Schultz, from Fox Sports, reports the Pittsburgh Steelers have signed RB Trey Sermon to a one-year contract. The veteran back was trying out with the Steelers this weekend during rookie minicamp.
| Footballguys view: The Steelers add more talent to an already crowded backfield. Last year for the Colts, Sermon started three games and finished the 2024 season with just 159 yards rushing on 56 carries with two touchdowns. The Steelers selected Kaleb Johnson (Iowa) in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and he's going to work in tandem with Jaylen Warren to hammer defenses. Behind those two, Cordarrelle Patterson and Kenneth Gainwell should get some looks. Sermon is a longshot to make the 53-man roster. |

Cardinals | Jordan Burch signed Sun May 11, 11:32 AM
Arizona Cardinals seventh-round pick LB Jordan Burch signed a four-year, $4,337,892 contract prior to the start of rookie minicamp. The deal includes a signing bonus of $137,892 and his salary cap charge is $874,473. His base salaries are $840,000 for 2025, $1.005 million for 2026, $1.12 million for 2027 and $1.235 million for 2028. Crawford has a full split for the first two seasons of his deal, meaning his salary would decrease to $490,000 in 2025 and $540,000 in 2026 if he is placed on the Reserve/Injured list.
Link to story Broncos | RJ Harvey praised by head coach Sun May 11, 11:27 AM
Denver Broncos RB RJ Harvey saw a lot of work in the passing game during rookie minicamp Saturday, May 10, and head coach Sean Payton said he liked what he saw out of Harvey. 'Well, he's going to play on third down,' Payton said. 'There's a lot we can do to suit his strengths.''
| Footballguys view: Harvey was a standout during rookie minicamp over the weekend. His speed is apparent from the jump, and he can be dangerous in space. Harvey dances a bit too much at times on outside runs, but he shows discipline on inside carries where he can hide behind the line and then burst at the second level. The Broncos backfield is wide open, and Harvey is primed to be the lead back for Sean Payton...that alone should get Fantasy GMs attention come draft season. |
