Lions | Kyre Duplessis signs deal Thu Jun 4, 04:32 PM
Undrafted free-agent WR Kyre Duplessis (Delaware) signed with the Detroit Lions Thursday, June 4. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.

Link to storyDenver Broncos QB Bo Nix was seen on the sideline at the team's OTAs on Thursday, June 4. Nix is working his way back from a broken ankle suffered in January.
| Footballguys view: There are some who think we could see Nix out there at mandatory minicamp in just a couple of weeks. Nix injured his ankle in the Divisional Round win over the Bills, and he had to have a cleanup second surgery after it was initially repaired. So long as Nix is out there in training camp, the Broncos have no worries at the quarterback position. Nix with Jaylen Waddle could be quite fun for Broncos fans...and Fantasy GMs... in 2026. |
Pittsburgh Steelers TE Darnell Washington reportedly agreed to a four-year contract extension worth $42 million to remain with the team on Wednesday, June 3.
| Footballguys view: The third-round pick (2023) out of Georgia is a devastating blocker, and he's an integral part of what the Steelers can do on offense. As a receiver, Washington's output has been limited (57 catches, 625 yards and two touchdowns in three seasons) because he's relied on to be a blocker. Thus, Washington's fantasy value is much lower than his 'real football' value to the Steelers. |

Miami Dolphins WR Tutu Atwell 'appears to be more than just a deep-ball threat' based on his performance at minicamp, according to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Atwell can fly down the field, so he could be a deep-ball threat for the Dolphins in 2026. What would more entail for the Dolphins no.3 receiver? It's unlikely that Atwell provides more than 'what the heck' flex value from a fantasy perspective, and that's only in deeper leagues. |

Miami Dolphins QB Malik Willis delivered some 'highlight' throws and displayed his arm strength during minicamp Wednesday, June 3.
| Footballguys view: It's OTAs, so these things are going to happen but it's a good sign at least. We're listening for offseason 'drumbeats' and if you keep hearing Willis 'flashes' at OTAs, mandatory minicamp, training camp, and into the preseason then you'll know he's impressing with his new team. We're excited about Willis this year even though the Dolphins are unlikely to push for the playoffs in 2026. He's a mid-to-low-range QB2 with upside for Fantasy GMs. |
Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze said he is '100% confident' in his ability to become the No. 1 wide receiver for the Bears in 2026.
Link to storyLos Angeles Chargers QB Justin Herbert said he has been working on overhauling his footwork under the guidance of offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel. 'Mechanically, it's a little different timing, he wants the ball out early,' Herbert said. 'We feel like that is going to help us get the ball out quicker.'

San Francisco 49ers QB Mac Jones (undisclosed) did not throw during the voluntary workout Wednesday, June 3, because of soreness but said he will be ready for training camp.

San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle (Achilles) said that his recovery is on schedule and there is a chance that he will be ready for Week 1. He was able to do some running on the side during the voluntary workout Wednesday, June 3.

Free agent TE Robert Tonyan (Chiefs) and LB Jamin Davis (Raiders) signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday, June 4. No terms of the deal were disclosed.
| Footballguys view: It seems incredulous to remember that Tonyan had an 11 touchdown season with the Packers back in 2020. After one target over the last two seasons (with two different teams), it's safe to say Tonyan's best days are behind him. |

Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson agreed to a four-year, $110.5 million extension Thursday, June 4. The deal includes a $31 million signing bonus.
Link to storyDetroit Lions WR Kendrick Law (knee) suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament and will miss the entire 2026 season.
Link to storyChicago Bears WR Rome Odunze (foot) said he's adjusting to a new normal with his foot. 'It's not from a standpoint that I'm like always in pain, but the way my foot broke, there's calluses in there that creates a different type of foot structure with those bones -- different things that kind of shifts things around,' Odunze said Wednesday, via Jay Cohen of the Associated Press. 'So my new normal was kind of what I am going into. And I don't think that's anything that's going to prohibit me or keep me from making plays.'
Link to storyUndrafted rookie free-agent TE Louie Hansen (Connecticut) reportedly signed an undisclosed contract with the Houston Texans on Wednesday, June 3.
Link to storyFree-agent RB Marcus Yarns (Saints) and WR Jalen Moreno-Cropper (Cowboys) will be working out for the Denver Broncos.
Link to storyFree-agent WR Jaden Smith (Buccaneers) signed with the Dallas Cowboys Wednesday, June 3. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Link to storyUpdating a previous report, New York Jets WR Da'Quan Felton (undisclosed) was released Wednesday, June 3, with an injury designation.
Link to storyJacksonville Jaguars RB Bhayshul Tuten said he is looking to improve his pass protection and receiving skills this offseason. Tuten also hopes to improve his field vision.
| Footballguys view: After being drafted in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, strong performances in training camp and the preseason catapulted Tuten to RB2, behind Travis Etienne. With Etienne's departure, Tuten is primed to have a breakout year, even if head coach Liam Coen favors more of a rotation at running back, with both Tuten and Chris Rodriguez Jr. taking regular snaps. Still, the more Tuten can do to stay on the field, the better his chances of handling a lead role become. The Jaguars' backfield will be one to watch closely this summer. |
New York Jets WR Da'Quan Felton was waived Wednesday, June 3.
Link to storyIndianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce (ankle) is making progress in his recovery from ankle surgery and is still on track to be ready for training camp, according to head coach Shane Steichen.
| Footballguys view: During GM Chris Ballard's pre-draft press conference, he mentioned that Pierce underwent offseason surgery on a lingering ankle injury, but added he should be back on the field for training camp. Steichen confirmed that "as of right now," that's still the case. Pierce, who's led the NFL in yards per catch the last two seasons, has become a well-rounded wideout, able to attack different levels of the field in a variety of ways. With Michael Pittman Jr. traded to the Steelers, Pierce is set to serve as the team's top downfield weapon. He's being drafted as WR33. |
New England Patriots WR A.J. Brown said he has not been dealing with any knee injuries and is ready to take part in practice.
| Footballguys view: Brown passed his physical and practiced with his new team for the first time on Tuesday. While he had minor cleanup surgery on both of his knees in 2021, Brown says they're fine. "Nothing to worry about. I'm good. I'm ready to go." Brown, who turns 29 this month, enters his eighth season unconcerned about the future. He was asked on Tuesday how much he thinks he still has left in his career. "You'll see," Brown said. We're believers. Brown has already moved inside the top-10 -- to WR7 -- on the Footballguys 2026 projections. |

Free-agent PK Jason Sanders (Giants) agreed to terms with the New York Jets Wednesday, June 3, according to a source. Terms of the contract were not disclosed. The team is also releasing PK Younghoe Koo.
| Footballguys view: The Giants released Sanders, a former All-Pro, to clear a roster spot for Juju Smith-Schuster earlier this week. Sanders, formerly of the Miami Dolphins, was by far the most experienced kicker under contract with the Giants. The 30-year-old Sanders has made 84.6% of his NFL field goal attempts. That includes 90.2% in the 2024 season, when he was 12-for-14 from 50-plus yards. |

Miami Dolphins RB De'Von Achane (shoulder) will only participate in individual drills during the mandatory minicamp this week, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.
| Footballguys view: Achane had cleanup surgery on his shoulder after the season and should be ready for training camp, so going easy on him at this point makes sense. The Dolphins signed Achane to a four-year, $64 million contract extension this month. It's unlikely they would have made that commitment if they weren't confident in his long-term health, so he should be moving full speed ahead soon enough. We'll continue to monitor this situation. |
New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte has shown interest in a trade this offseason, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
| Footballguys view: This news comes as no surprise with A.J. Brown now on the roster. Boutte, who has been skipping recent voluntary workouts, is entering the final year of his rookie deal. The presence of Brown and free agent acquisition Romeo Doubs would seem to lower the odds of the Patriots making another long-term investment in a wideout, while also working against Boutte having a big year in New England that might make him attractive as a free agent. Whether that results in a move or not will be something to watch as Week 1 draws closer. |

Updating a previous report, New England Patriots TE Julian Hill (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list because of a knee injury he suffered during one of the voluntary workouts, according to head coach Mike Vrabel.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins third-round draft choice TE Will Kacmarek signed a four-year contract with the Dolphins Tuesday, June 2. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Link to storyMiami Dolphins third-round draft choice WR Caleb Douglas signed a four-year contract with the Dolphins Tuesday, June 2. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: As noted in the 2026 Footballguys Rookie Guide, Douglas brings length and fluidity, with the versatility to play outside and stretch the field or inside as a big slot. Douglas is underrated in the 2026 class and has traits that could round out most receiver rooms. Dynasty managers in rookie drafts should consider the early offensive opportunity in Miami, even if you don't like the player. |
Miami Dolphins fifth-round draft choice WR Kevin Coleman Jr. signed a four-year contract with the Dolphins Tuesday, June 2. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: According to Footballguy Sigmund Bloom, Coleman projects as the most reliable wide receiver in a low-volume pass offense, which isn't worth chasing in rookie drafts. But given the dearth of high-end talent currently on the roster, Coleman is worth rostering in deep dynasty leagues. |
Miami Dolphins third-round draft choice WR Chris Bell signed a four-year contract with the Dolphins Tuesday, June 2. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: As Footballguy Sigmund Bloom recently suggested, Bell landed in the perfect spot. The Dolphins are in rebuilding mode and won't rush him back from his 2025 ACL tear. When Bell is ready to play, his strengths will mesh well with Malik Willis'. Once he's ready, Bell will compete with Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, and Tutu Atwell, along with rookies Caleb Douglas and Kevin Coleman, for playing time. Bell is an eventual WR1 candidate for Miami. |
Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins (ankle, leg) is participating in team drills during the voluntary workout Wednesday, June 3.
| Footballguys view: Working in full-team drills is a step up from the individual drills Judkins was limited to last month. Judkins dislocated his ankle and fractured his fibula in Week 16 and missed the final two games last season. Judkins had 827 rushing yards and seven touchdowns in 14 games last season. An upgraded offensive line and a new, offensive-minded head coach in Todd Monken could benefit Judkins this season. He's currently being drafted as RB22. |
New Orleans Saints RB Alvin Kamara is present for the voluntary workout Wednesday, June 3, according to head coach Kellen Moore.
| Footballguys view: As Profootballtalk.com reminded readers, Kamara's status with the team has been in question this offseason, with general manager Mickey Loomis saying last month that the club is trying to figure out how the running back fits on the roster. But Kamara has maintained he'd like to stick with New Orleans, and his arrival on Wednesday lends credence to that notion. For what it's worth, Kamara was only participating in individual drills during Wednesday's session. We'll continue to monitor, but free-agent addition Travis Etienne Jr. is expected to be the lead back, whether Kamara is on the roster or not. |

Philadelphia Eagles QB Tanner McKee received trade interest from the New York Jets, but they were told he'd cost a second-round pick.
| Footballguys view: McKee is a free agent after the season, and the Eagles did select Cole Payton in the fifth round of this year's draft. As SI.com's Jeff Kerr notes, the Eagles also have Andy Dalton on the roster, and he could serve as the QB2 this year if they do trade McKee this summer, giving him some reps with the second team. If the Eagles don't find a trade partner for McKee, then he's the QB2 at the start of the season. This summer is going to be interesting to see how the depth chart unfolds. |

Arizona Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur said WR Marvin Harrison will play the X receiver, with WR Michael Wilson as the Z receiver.
| Footballguys view: LaFleur compared the role Harrison would play to the one Davante Adams handles for the Rams (where LaFleur was the offensive coordinator) and the one Julio Jones handles for the Falcons (where LaFleur was an offensive assistant). LaFleur compared the Z receiver Wilson will handle to Puka Nacua's role with the Rams. That receiver plays closer to the offensive formation and has more responsibilities as a blocker in the running game. Like Nacua, Wilson is unafraid of getting his hands dirty as a blocker. We'll be watching how this all plays out when the Cardinals open training camp next month. |

Atlanta Falcons WR Drake London and the Falcons have reportedly agreed to a four-year contract extension, according to a source on Tuesday, June 2.
| Footballguys view: According to London's agent, Andrew Kessler, it's a $141 million extension worth up to $150 million, including $100 million guaranteed. London will earn $35.25 million per year. It makes London the third-highest paid receiver in the league, with the highest average per year in the Falcons. Across his four NFL seasons so far, he's averaging 77.3 receptions for 990.3 yards and 5.5 touchdowns per year, having led the Falcons in receptions and receiving yards in his first three campaigns before missing five games in 2025. He's being drafted as WR7 with the 17th pick overall. |
Philadelphia Eagles WR Makai Lemon is dealing with a hamstring injury and could potentially miss next week's minicamp, according to a source on Tuesday, June 2.
Link to storyFree-agent S Ashtyn Davis (Dolphins) has reportedly signed a one-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers, according to a source on Tuesday, June 2. The 49ers also waived RB Jermar Jefferson.

Free agent wide receiver Jalen Reagor (Chargers) signed with the Miami Dolphins on Tuesday, June 2. No terms of the deal were disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Reagor is best known for being taken over Justin Jefferson by the Eagles in the 2020 draft. He was traded to the Vikings after only two years in Philadelphia and hasn't caught more than 10 passes in a season since then. Last year, Reagor was briefly on the Chargers practice squad. Normally, we'd say that he's unlikely to make the roster, but given the state of the Dolphins depth chart at wide receiver, you never know. |

Free agent RB Elijah Mitchell (Patriots) signed with the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday, June 2. No terms of the deal were disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Mitchell almost had 1000 yards as a rookie with the 49ers in 2021, but hasn't had a carry in an NFL game since 2023 because of injury issues. Speed is his calling card, and he is a good fit in the zone running game the Eagles are installing, so he could be a veteran practice squad candidate, or even make the team if injuries strike the Eagles backfield in camp or the preseason. |
Elijah Mitchell player page
Green Bay Packers RB Josh Jacobs was at the team's practice during OTAs on Tuesday, June 2.
| Footballguys view: Jacobs was arrested on May 26 after police responded to an alleged domestic violence incident a few days earlier. He missed practice time as those matters played out, but it does not sound like there will be any limitations on his participation this week. Coach Matt LaFleur told reporters that it is "business as usual" for the veteran back. Prosecutors said last week there has been no decision about formally filing criminal charges against Jacobs. We'll continue to watch for more. |

That includes 90.2% in the 2024 season, when he was 12-for-14 from 50-plus yards. Ben Sauls and Dominic Zvada are the remaining kickers on the roster. |
