Panthers | Derrick Brown may be ready for camp Fri Jun 13, 02:56 PM
Carolina Panthers DT Derrick Brown (knee) said he hopes he will be able to be ready for the start of training camp.
Footballguys view: Derrick Brown is a force against the run. The Panthers rush defense basically collapsed without him last year after his season was ended by a meniscus injury in Week 1. We'll be watching his progress in camp to help project the Week 1 matchup against the new-look Jaguars offense. |

Link to storyGreen Bay Packers DL Kenny Clark underwent surgery on his foot shortly after the season to fix an injury he sustained during the team's Week 1 game against the Philadelphia Eagles that took place in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Clark indicated he dealt with a bunion and bone spurs, which led to the surgery.
Footballguys view: Clark posted his lowest tackle total since his rookie season of 2006 and had only one sack all season after totaling 15.5 over the previous three seasons combined. Clark just began doing individual drills during OTA practices this week, so those interested in investing in him as a depth piece in IDP leagues will want to monitor his progress. |

Link to storyLos Angeles Chargers third-round draft choice DT Jamaree Caldwell, fourth-round draft choice LB Kyle Kennard, fifth-round draft choice WR KeAndre Lambert-Smith, fifth-round draft choice TE Oronde Gadsden II, sixth-round draft choice OG Branson Taylor, sixth-round draft choice S R.J. Mickens and seventh-round draft choice CB Trikweze Bridges signed four-year contracts with the Chargers Friday, May 9. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Footballguys view: Orande Gadsen II is a player with a freakish athletic skill set. He's a weapon as a tight end, and Gadsen can use a blend of size and speed to make plays. Gadsen will learn behind Will Dissly and Tyler Conklin in his rookie season, but he's got the upside to one day be a starter. |
New England Patriots third-round draft choice WR Kyle Williams, third-round draft choice C Jared Wilson, fourth-round draft choice Joshua Farmer, fifth-round draft choice LB Bradyn Swinson, sixth-round draft choice PK Andres Borregales, seventh-round draft choice OT Marcus Bryant, seventh-round draft choice CB Kobee Minor and seventh-round draft choice LS Julian Ashby signed four-year contracts with the Patriots Friday, May 9. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Footballguys view: Kyle Williams is a quick receiver with speed to flip the field on any catch. He'll have a chance to become a favorite target for QB Drake Maye this year. Williams begins his pro career as the no.3 receiver on the depth chart behind Stefon Diggs and DeMario Douglas. |
Detroit Lions DT Tyleik Williams (undisclosed) was limited during practice Friday, May 9, after a fall that caused an injury. He said the limited participation was a precaution.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins fifth-round pick DT Jordan X. Phillips, fifth-round pick CB Jason Marshall Jr., fifth-round pick S Dante Trader Jr., sixth-round pick RB Ollie Gordon II and seventh-round pick DT Zeek Biggers signed their rookie four-year deals Friday, May 9. Phillips, Marshall and Trader, all selected in the fifth round, will each total about $4.6 million on the scale. Gordon, a sixth-round pick, is due to make more than $4.4 million. Ewers and Biggers, as seventh-rounders, are set to make around $4.3 million.
Footballguys view: Gordon is a player we appreciate because of his size/athleticism combination. He's a big-bodied back (226 pounds) with the movement skills of a smaller back. In the NFL, Gordon needs to show the ability to use his size as a weapon in a power game. The rookie is competing for a reserve spot this year behind De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright. |
Indianapolis Colts third-round pick CB Justin Walley, fourth-round pick OT Jalen Travis, fifth-round pick RB DJ Giddens, sixth-round pick QB Riley Leonard, sixth-round pick DT Tim Smith and seventh-round pick S Hunter Wohler.
Footballguys view: We like the upside of Giddens in deep dynasty formats. He's a slashing runner who doesn't waste a ton of motion with the ball in his hands. Giddens needs to prove himself better as a pass catcher (too many drops), and perhaps add some more muscle to his frame. He will compete for a reserve spot behind Jonathan Taylor and Khalil Herbert. |
