Texans | Jimmie Ward in trouble with the law Fri Jun 13, 02:56 PM
Houston Texans DB Jimmie Ward is facing a felony assault family violence charge following an incident at his home on Thursday, June 12.
| Footballguys view: As we've seen in recent years, the NFL prefers to wait to suspend players for off-field incidents until after the legal system has concluded its process, which can take years. Ward opened last season as a starter for the Texans, but missed almost half of the season and the playoffs. The team traded for Chauncey Gardner-Johnson and has Calen Bullock and Jalen Pitre youthfully ascending at safety, so Ward is not essential if he does have to sit out at some point in 2025 because of this. |

Bullard is currently behind S Evan Williams on the safety depth chart as well, per Schneidman.

Titans | Kevin Winston Jr. expected to be ready for camp Sun May 18, 11:28 AM
Tennnessee Titans S Kevin Winston Jr. (knee) is expected to receive medical clearance in order to participate in training camp, according to head coach Brian Callahan.
| Footballguys view: The Titans selected Winston in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft. He's a naturally instinctive player who arrives at the ball-carrier with bad intentions. His tackling ability and diagnostic ability are NFL caliber, but he'll need to improve his coverage concepts to be a reliable pro. Winston is recovering from knee surgery to repair a partially-torn anterior cruciate ligament he suffered last year with Penn State. |
Steelers | Starting slot corner job up for grabs Sun May 18, 09:26 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers CBs Beanie Bishop Jr. and Sebastian Castro are expected to battle for the starting slot cornerback role, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.
| Footballguys view: The Steelers signed Castro as a priority free agent after the draft. He brings versatility to the field as he's a hybrid slot CB/safety. Bishop won the starting job at the beginning of the 2024 season but eventually lost playing time to CB Cameron Sutton, who is now a free agent. We'll see this battle shake out in training camp. |

Chargers | LAC agrees to deals with seven picks Fri May 9, 04:42 PM
Los 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. |
Jaguars | Three draft picks sign deals Fri May 9, 04:32 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars third-round draft choice CB Caleb Ransaw, sixth-round draft choice S Rayuan Lane III and seventh-round draft choice RB LeQuint Allen signed four-year contracts with the Jaguars Friday, May 9. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: We like LeQuint Allen in crazy deep dynasty formats. There's a dash of James Cook to his game, and he can make plays as a runner and receiver out of the backfield. With the future of Travis Etienne unknown, Allen is a player to monitor in training camp. |
49ers | Seven draft picks sign rookie contracts Fri May 9, 04:10 PM

Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Any running back added to the 49ers roster will attract out attention. James can turn short passes into long gains with speed and quickness. We'll watch him in camp as he works to earn a roster spot behind starting RB Christian McCaffrey. |

Dolphins | Miami locks up five picks Fri May 9, 11:31 AM
Miami 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. |
Colts | Six Colts picks inked Fri May 9, 11:24 AM
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. |
