NFL | Chase Claypool completely healthy Sun Jul 6, 10:06 AM
Updating a previous report, free-agent WR Chase Claypool (Bills) said in a post on his Instagram account that he is fully healthy after spending the last year rehabbing from a torn ligament and tendon in the second toe on his left foot.
| Footballguys view: Claypool is sending the message via social networking that he's ready to play, and we're sure his agent is working the phones behind the scenes. If the veteran receiver is going to find a team, it's likely during training camp or the preseason if/when someone gets hurt. His size/speed combination should get him some interest now that he's healthy, but a move doesn't seem imminent. |

NFL | Chase Claypool details injury Sat Jul 5, 11:25 AM
Free-agent WR Chase Claypool (Bills) said he has spent the last year rehabbing from the toe injury that he suffered last August. 'I tore a ligament and a tendon in my second toe and have been rehabbing, working out, and recovering every day for the past year,' Claypool said.
| Footballguys view: Claypool was released in mid-August last year with an injury settlement. Now, he's working to be in the best shape of his life....kind of the standard news you get in this type of situation with a veteran trying to return after a missed year due to injury. After 121 catches in his first two pro seasons (2020, 2021), Claypool only has 54 catches over the next three years with a few different teams. His size/speed combination might earn a look from a team who gets desperate at the wide receiver position. |

NFL | Justin Tucker given 10-game ban Thu Jun 26, 03:34 PM
Free-agent PK Justin Tucker (Ravens) was suspended by the NFL for the first 10 games of the 2025 season for violating the league's personal conduct policy on Thursday, June 26.
| Footballguys view: There were 16 massage therapists that accused Tucker of sexual misconduct, and the Ravens let their long-time kicker go back in May. The NFL investigated this situation for months, and they've decided to suspend him for over half the 2025 season. There is a chance some team adds him before training camp where Tucker could get work in the preseason. He will be eligible for reinstatement on Tuesday, November 11th. |

NFL | Gabe Davis still recovering Sat Jun 7, 01:42 PM
Free-agent WR Gabe Davis (knee) is still recovering from the torn meniscus he suffered during the 2024 NFL season, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Davis recently met with the Pittsburgh Steelers.
| Footballguys view: Davis did little with the Jaguars last year, catching 20 passes for 239 yards over ten games. Now, he's waiting for a team to sign him this year. The Giants, 49ers, and Steelers have shown interest. In Pittsburgh, Davis would be a downfield target opposite DK Metcalf for QB Aaron Rodgers. Deals get done at deadlines, but with mandatory minicamp here it seems like Davis may have to wait a little longer. |

Free-agent DE Von Miller (Bills) told 9News' Mike Klis that he is 'definitely' playing in 2025.
| Footballguys view: Miller is not the same player he used to be, but some team might want him later in the year to provide veteran pass-rushing help. Even though some Broncos fans want him to return, Miller himself even admitted recently that there's no room for a player like him in Denver anymore. Miller will have to continue playing the waiting game. |

NFL | Marcedes Lewis expects to retire after 2025 Thu May 29, 01:58 PM
Free-agent TE Marcedes Lewis told the 'Up & Adams' podcast on Thursday, May 29, that 2025 will likely be his final season in the NFL. If he plays this season, it will be his 20th in the NFL.
| Footballguys view: Lewis was the no.28 overall pick for the Jaguars in the 2006 NFL Draft. It's hard to believe that's when guys like Vince Young, Jay Cutler, and Matt Leinart were first-round picks as well. He came into the league out of UCLA as a receiving weapon, but he's been able to play so long because he became a great blocker too. We'll see if a team takes a chance on the 41-year old tight end. |

NFL | Could Derek Carr unretire in 2026? Wed May 14, 09:00 AM
Retired QB Derek Carr (Saints) is 'extremely unlikely' to unretire in 2026, according to Pro Football Talk's Mike Florio, who cited 'sources with knowledge of the situation.' Carr is already making other professional plans, though it's entirely possible he could change his mind once fully healthy.
| Footballguys view: While Carr eventually will land on the Saints' reserve/retired list, an unretirement in 2026 would likely trigger an immediate release of his rights, given that his 2025 salary of $30 million would immediately hit the cap. At most, the Saints would finagle a late-round pick from a team interested in signing him. And if he eventually has a change of heart, Given that the shelf life for quarterbacks has extended deep into the 30s and, for some, beyond their 40th birthdays, the 34-year-old Carr could still play if/when his shoulder is healed. So, even if it's unlikely for now, we may revisit this story down the road. |

Link to story NFL | Jadeveon Clowney not retiring Sun May 11, 09:14 AM
Free-agent DE Jadeveon Clowney (Panthers) said that he wants to continue his playing career, several days after being released by the Carolina Panthers. General manager Dan Morgan had tried to gauge trade interest in Clowney from other teams before and after the 2025 NFL Draft but was unable to finalize a deal. The Panthers had offered him a chance to remain with the organization if he agreed to take a pay cut but he declined. According to OverTheCap.com, Clowney's release frees up $7.8 million of salary cap space for Carolina, with $6 million of dead money.
| Footballguys view: The Panthers released Clowney a few days ago can still make plays as a reserve rusher. Clowney compiled 5.5 sacks and knocked down four passes with the Panthers in 2024. At some point this offseason, and perhaps closer to training camp, Clowney should find a new team - perhaps on a contender this time. |

NFL | Two teams vying for Nick Chubb? Fri May 2, 06:00 AM
Free-agent RB Nick Chubb (Browns) is still very much wanted by the Cleveland Browns, but the Chicago Bears are reportedly serious about signing him as well, according to Ken Carman of 92.3 The Fan.'The Browns want to bring Nick Chubb back. They are trying hard to bring Nick back. I know this. The Bears are very serious about bringing him in and are trying to make this push,' Carman said.
| Footballguys view: If healthy, Chubb could still play at a high level. He hasn't been the same since getting banged up early in the 2023 season. Chubb certainly didn't look like himself last year, only gaining 332 yards on 103 carries in eight games. If added by the Bears, Chubb would compete with D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson for touches in that backfield. |

Link to story NFL | Emeka Egbuka targeted by Rams, Texans? Fri Apr 25, 03:28 PM
Ohio State WR Emeka Egbuka was reportedly a trade-up target for the Los Angeles Rams and Houston Texans before he was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with the 19th pick of the 2025 NFL Draft, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.'My understanding was that there were two teams both trying to trade up: It was the Texans and the Rams. And the moment the Bucs surprised everybody by taking Emeka Egbuka, the receiver from Ohio State, the calls stopped. Those teams were calling all the teams above them and, all of a sudden, the calls stopped. So that's the belief that Egbuka was the guy,' Pelissero told The Dan Patrick Show.
| Footballguys view: The Buccaneers threw a bit of a curveball at no.19 overall with the pick of Egbuka. Now that the Rams and Texans are still in the wide receiver market, we'll see if they make a move on Day 2 of the draft. |
