Steelers | Opportunity for Roman Wilson Fri Jun 20, 09:01 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR Roman Wilson will have a chance to prove he deserves a role in the offense during training camp and the preseason, according to Mike DeFabo of The Athletic.
| Footballguys view: Wilson got injured early in training camp last year and only logged five offensive snaps for the entire season. He was a third-rounder in 2024 after being a key piece of Michigan's championship-winning team. There's reason to believe a healthy offseason can get him back on track, but he'll fight an uphill battle. The upside in an Aaron Rodgers-led offense is obvious. His ADP of WR88 makes him worth the minimal investment, especially in deeper leagues. |
Panthers | Tommy Tremble could be PUP candidate Fri Jun 20, 06:24 PM
Carolina Panthers TE Tommy Tremble (back) could be a candidate to start the season on the Physically Unable to Perform list depending on his recovery, in the opinion of PanthersWire's Anthony Rizzuti.
| Footballguys view: Tremble has been a solid depth piece for the Panthers, who brought him back on a two-year deal following his rookie contract. He had back surgery at the end of May. Head coach Dave Canales said he's hopeful the veteran tight end will be rehabbing when training camp starts. |

Giants | Cam Skattebo missed time this offseason Fri Jun 20, 05:55 PM
New York Giants RB Cam Skattebo (undisclosed) missed a good amount of time this offseason because of an undisclosed injury but is not believed to be dealing with anything serious.
| Footballguys view: While it's good that it's believed to be nothing serious, missing valuable offseason reps can often be a tough hurdle for rookies to clear. We'll monitor Skattebo's situation when rookies report to Giants' training camp on July 15th. |
Chargers | Mike Williams expected to start Fri Jun 20, 05:05 PM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Mike Williams is expected to be one of the starting receivers this season because of his experience with QB Justin Herbert in the past.
| Footballguys view: Aside from Ladd McConkey, there's a lot of overlap among the potential WR2s in Los Angeles. Williams, Quentin Johnston, and Tre Harris are all big-bodied receivers with above-average speed. It makes sense that a familiar veteran would get the early nod as a starter. But he's far from the player he was early in his career, now four years removed from his last 1,000-yard season. The Chargers will likely hope that Harris, their second-round rookie, can climb the depth chart ahead of Williams throughout camp. |

Jaguars | OC heaps praise on Brenton Strange Fri Jun 20, 03:09 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars TE Brenton Strange has 'a lot of physical traits that can be a balanced tight end and do a lot of different things that this offense will ask him to do,' according to recent comments from offensive coordinator Grant Udinski.'His work ethic, first and foremost, is hopefully a leadership attribute that the guys can model and see what he does on a day-to-day basis. But from a leadership standpoint and just from a player standpoint, you see a guy with a lot of potential to just continue to grow, whether it's in the pass game or the run game. ... A guy with a lot of physical traits that can be that balanced tight end and do a lot of different things that this offense will ask him to do,' Udinski said.
| Footballguys view: Strange, a former second-round pick, spent the first two years of his career buried on the depth chart behind Evan Engram. Engram missed eight games last year. Strange flashed a bit in his absence, especially in his 11-reception outing in Week 15. Despite expectations of being the Week 1 starter, he's being drafted as the TE23, leaving a lot of room to exceed his ADP. He'll likely struggle to find consistent production behind Brian Thomas Jr. and Travis Hunter. But like Cade Otton last year, he's just an injury away from what could be a significant role. |

Ravens | C.J. Mosley sought out Baltimore before retiring Fri Jun 20, 02:47 PM
Free-agent LB C.J. Mosley (Jets) and the Baltimore Ravens had 'mutual interest,' but Mosley was unable to get cleared on his neck injury before ultimately deciding to retire. Mosley was a first-round draft choice of the Ravens in 2014 and played his first five NFL seasons in Baltimore.

Cowboys | Jake Ferguson eyeing rebound season Fri Jun 20, 01:08 PM
Dallas Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson's physical condition and determination have been 'noticeably different in a good way this offseason, according to recent comments from head coach Brian Schottenheimer.'I think last year was a fluke (for Ferguson). He definitely dealt with some stuff that was hard for him. Jake's always motivated. Jake is one of those tone setters who just plays the right way. But the look in his eyes and the way his body looks, in terms of physique, and the way he's moving has been noticeably different in a good way,' head coach Brian Schottenheimer told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
| Footballguys view: Ferguson landed a volume-rich role in 2023, pulling 102 targets. Despite missing a few games last year, he actually averaged more targets per game. With Dak Prescott presumably healthy to start the year, the entire Cowboys offense should get back on track. The addition of George Pickens could be a detriment to Ferguson's previously lucrative role. But he's being drafted as the TE16, making him a worthy late-round target with much more upside than risk. |

Raiders | Raheem Mostert next in line Fri Jun 20, 11:51 AM
Las Vegas Raiders RB Raheem Mostert will be the RB2 for the team that will spell RB Ashton Jeanty, in the opinion of SI.com's Hondo Carpenter.
| Footballguys view: The incumbent running backs, Sincere McCormick and Zamir White, didn't do much last year. Pete Carroll and Chip Kelly were quick to address the positional weakness by signing Mostert in free agency. And they made an even bigger splash by drafting Jeanty sixth overall. It was expected that Mostert would be the team's RB2, even before this official report. But the staff's history of leaning on one back, coupled with Jeanty's flawless profile, likely means that Mostert would need an injury ahead of him to see meaningful snaps. |

Chiefs | Tyquan Thornton impressing coach Fri Jun 20, 02:03 AM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Tyquan Thornton performed well during minicamp, according to head coach Andy Reid. 'He's got the quarterback's trust,' Reid said. 'That's an important thing. He's gotten some valuable reps here.'
| Footballguys view: Looking at the Chiefs' depth chart, it isn't easy to envision Thornton in a role that would provide any fantasy production. However, he's a former second-round pick with off-the-charts speed and athleticism, and still just 25. His situation in camp is worth monitoring, although it would probably take multiple injuries for him to find the field consistently. |
Steelers | Quick passes for DK Metcalf? Fri Jun 20, 02:03 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers WR DK Metcalf could run more slant routes this year to help protect QB Aaron Rodgers, in the opinion of Mike DeFabo of The Athletic.
| Footballguys view: Metcalf has never been in an offense that's fed him easy targets. He's ranked well above the league average in target depth every year of his career. But game-breaking speed and after-the-catch tenacity could help him benefit from routes that get him the ball in stride across the middle of the field. Assuming Aaron Rodgers can keep the ship afloat, the lack of competition for Metcalf's touches makes a career year seem well within reach. |

Rams | Coach excited about Tutu Atwell Fri Jun 20, 02:03 AM
Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay said he believes WR Tutu Atwell is ready to take his play to another level this upcoming season.
| Footballguys view: The Rams made a surprising investment in Atwell this offseason, bringing him back on a $10M deal. With Puka Nacua and Davante Adams expected to draw the defensive gravity, Atwell can theoretically use his speed to get behind defenses for big plays. But with a career high of 562 yards in a season, it's ok for fantasy drafters to take a wait-and-see approach. |

Ravens | DeAndre Hopkins helping teammates Fri Jun 20, 02:03 AM
Baltimore Ravens WR DeAndre Hopkins has been helping the other receivers with advice this offseason, according to WR Rashod Bateman.
| Footballguys view: Despite a midseason trade to a receiver-needy Kansas City team last year, Hopkins struggled to find a productive role for himself. The Ravens ranked 31st in pass attempts last year. And with Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, Mark Andrews, and Isaiah Likely all projected ahead of him in the pecking order, it's hard to expect much from a 33-year-old Hopkins. After playing with the Chiefs last year and the Ravens this year, Hopkins' primary goal appears to be getting a ring before he retires. |

Chiefs | No suspension for Rashee Rice at this point Fri Jun 20, 02:03 AM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice will not face the possibility of a suspension until his off-field legal issues are resolved.
| Footballguys view: Rice's legal issues have been looming for over a year now. But with no clear end in sight, he's trending toward dodging a suspension in 2025. With recent news that he's on track to be a full-go in training camp after last year's season-ending LCL tear, expect him to be a quick riser in drafts, likely settling in as a Round 2 pick. |

Cardinals | Michael Wilson in line to start? Fri Jun 20, 02:03 AM
Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Wilson appears likely to be one of the starting wide receivers this upcoming season, in the opinion of AZCardinals.com's Darren Urban.
| Footballguys view: Behind Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride, the corps of pass-catchers in Arizona leaves a lot to be desired. But Wilson, a former third-round pick, has had a pretty quiet start to his career despite being a full-time player. He's got the size and physicality to be a threat in the red zone. But in fantasy, he's little more than a touchdown-depedant WR5 unless Kyler Murray take a huge step forward. |

Chiefs | Travis Kelce expected to handle significant snaps again Fri Jun 20, 12:47 AM
Kansas City Chiefs TE Travis Kelce is set to turn 36 years old in October, but head coach Andy Reid told reporters on Thursday, June 19, that he has no intention to limit Kelce's snaps this season.'I'm not feeling that. It would be similar to last year, I would imagine. ... So, he's in great shape right now, so I think he's looking forward to getting going. 'I always watch him. I always keep an eye on him. I know he's getting older. He doesn't know he is getting older, but I do so I can be the bad guy in some cases there and if I think it's catching up to him a little bit, I'll pull off and put him where he needs to be. Other than that, he hasn't shown me any of that yet. He's done real well,' Reid said.
| Footballguys view: Despite turning in the worst production since his single-game rookie season in 2013, Kelce was still a viable fantasy option last year, albeit without his typical ceiling. With improved pass-catchers around him now, it's expected that Kelce will continue his downward trajectory. However, these concerns are baked into his cost. Kelce was third in targets last year among all tight ends. If that usage is similar in 2025, slightly better touchdown luck could push him back to another high-end finish. |

Texans | Joe Mixon may not be ready for start of camp Fri Jun 20, 12:23 AM
Updating a previous report, Houston Texans RB Joe Mixon (foot, ankle) should be ready to participate in training camp 'at some point,' although it may not be the first day or so of practice, according to KPRC's Aaron Wilson.
| Footballguys view: Mixon has consistently dealt with foot and ankle injuries throughout his career, even as recently as last season. A Week 2 hip drop tackle caused an ankle sprain that forced him to miss the next three weeks. He was limited in practice for the majority of the rest of the season, but suited up every week after his return. Mixon is a hard-nosed veteran with a history of playing through injuries. He's returning to an offense in which he found success last year. Barring news of a setback, there should be little concern about his 2025 outlook. |

Steelers | Jonathan Ward let go Thu Jun 19, 03:07 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jonathan Ward was released on Thursday, June 19.

Browns | Cleveland swaps out tight ends Thu Jun 19, 02:51 PM
Cleveland Browns Tre' McKitty was waived on Thursday, June 19. Free-agent TE Sal Cannella (UFL) was signed to an undisclosed contract to replace him on the roster.
| Footballguys view: You're seeing a few UFL players signed this week. With the Arlington Renegades, Canella caught 44 passes for 474 yards with a touchdown this season (he was selected as All-UFL). Cannella was undrafted out of Auburn in 2020, and he's had a few chances in the NFL with teams like the Dolphins, Packers, Seahawks, and Buccaneers. Now, the former UFL receiving touchdown leader (2024) will try to latch on with the Browns. |

Browns | Shedeur Sanders traffic citation update Thu Jun 19, 02:18 PM
Updating a previous report, Cleveland Browns QB Shedeur Sanders' citation for driving 101 miles per hour in a 60 mile-per-hour speed limit zone on June 17 was his second such violation in two weeks and occurred one day after he was scheduled to appear in court for a speeding ticket he received on June 6.
| Footballguys view: The Browns need a quarterback who can handle himself on and off the field. Sanders missing court for a previous speeding ticket is not a great look as he competes for the starting job with Joe Flacco, Kenny Pickett, and fellow rookie Dillon Gabriel. We'll see if Sanders can take care of his speeding tickets and win this job at some point. Some reporters around the team do not believe it's possible for Sanders to win the job Week 1. |
Chiefs | HC gives positive update on Jared Wiley Thu Jun 19, 01:18 PM
Kansas City Chiefs TE Jared Wiley (knee) did enough at the end of mandatory minicamp to convince head coach Andy Reid that he should be fine for the start of training camp.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Chiefs here. Dynasty GMs are interested in Wiley and his big-bodied WR-like skill set in the Chiefs offense. Travis Kelce is arguably the best tight end in NFL history, and he's in the best shape of his life (per reports) entering this season, but Father Time is undefeated and the Chiefs will need a TE of the future. Wiley is on the list, so we'll watch to see what he can do and take fliers on that upside in deep dynasty formats. |
Browns | Diontae Johnson to handle the slot? Thu Jun 19, 01:18 PM
Cleveland Browns WR Diontae Johnson is the 'clear favorite' to be the starting slot receiver, according to Zac Jackson of The Athletic.
| Footballguys view: We'd feel better about updates with the Browns if we knew who the quarterback was going to be. Johnson has talent and experience, but four teams have given up on him so far (all four in 2024), and he needs to stay healthy and impress with his newest team. He will compete with second-year WR Jamari Thrash for the slot receiver duties with the Browns in 2025. |

Panthers | Bryce Young still improving Thu Jun 19, 01:18 PM
Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young's improvements have allowed the offense to take a step forward, according to head coach Dave Canales. 'And he's showing such great mastery of what we're doing that he's allowing us to really push the envelope and do more things,' Canales said.
| Footballguys view: Young has had some rough times in the NFL, but he's certainly trending in the right direction based on how he turned things around last year. Now, the third-year quarterback is looking to take that next step. The Panthers have put more weapons around him on offense, including 2025 first-round pick WR Tetairoa McMillan. Fantasy GMs can get Young as a QB2, but the potential is there for him to push for low-end QB1 numbers in 2025. |

Chiefs | Josh Simmons likely to be fully cleared for camp Thu Jun 19, 01:14 PM
Kansas City Chiefs OT Josh Simmons (knee) should be a full participant at the start of training camp next month, according to head coach Andy Reid on Thursday, June 19.
| Footballguys view: The Chiefs wanted Simmons at the end of the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and they were able to get him even though he was banged up (one of the reasons why he fell to the end of the first). A cornerstone LT for Ohio State, Simmons ruptured his patellar tendon in Week 7 against Oregon and has been recovering this offseason. When healthy, Simmons is an athletic player with the ability to be a solid pass protector (and starter of course) in the NFL. |
Chiefs | Rashee Rice should be full-go for training camp Thu Jun 19, 01:06 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (knee) should be a full participant at the start of training camp next month, according to head coach Andy Reid on Thursday, June 19.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Chiefs here. Rice has the talent to be a top target on one of the league's best offenses if he can stay healthy. Last year, Rice caught 24 passes for 288 yards and two touchdowns in four games. After a rookie season in 2023 that saw him push for 1,000 yards receiving with seven touchdowns, Fantasy GMs know that WR1 upside is there for Rice. You can get him as a mid-range WR2 target in your drafts, and Rice could easily be a breakout player this season. |

Patriots | TreVeyon Henderson brings juice to NE's offense Thu Jun 19, 01:17 AM
New England Patriots RB TreVeyon Henderson is a 'home run threat every time he touches the ball' and offers 'a dynamic New England just hasn't had' in recent years, in the opinion of The Athletic's Chad Graff, who writes that the expectation is that Henderson will split carries with RB Rhamondre Stevenson this season.
| Footballguys view: Henderson is a player who has some Christian McCaffrey to his game. Like McCaffrey, Henderson is a threat to score anytime he touches the ball as a runner or receiver out of the backfield. He'll work this season in tandem with power back Rhamondre Stevenson, but Henderson could push for 800 yards on the ground with 30-35 receptions as a rookie. That makes him a low-end RB2 or flex option for Fantasy GMs in PPR leagues. |
Bills | Curtis Samuel considered a lock Thu Jun 19, 12:22 AM
Buffalo Bills WR Curtis Samuel is a 'lock' to make the 53-man roster, in the opinion of The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia, who writes that the team will carry five or six receivers with Samuel, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman, and Joshua Palmer as the other locks.
| Footballguys view: Samuel is a versatile weapon for the Bills offense, and he can attack a defense on the ground as a runner and as a receiver down the field. With an offense that spreads the ball around, there's not much fantasy value to be mined with the veteran receiver. We see Samuel as a gadget player who is in line for about 25 catches and a small handful of rushes in 2025. He may be a lock for the Bills, but Samuel is not going to be on many fantasy teams unless injuries cause him to rise up the depth chart. |

Ravens | Lamar Jackson not interested in talking deal Wed Jun 18, 06:47 PM
Baltimore Ravens QB Lamar Jackson said he is not interested in talking about his contract situation at this time.
| Footballguys view: GM Eric DeCosta said earlier this month that contract negotiations have started with Jackson, including during OTAs. Minicamp would be a convenient time for the two sides to continue those conversations. Jackson signed a five-year, $260 million deal during the 2023 offseason that made him the NFL's highest-paid player at the time. Dallas' Dak Prescott currently tops the NFL with a contract averaging $60 million per season. Head coach John Harbaugh said in March that Jackson's next contract will again put him at the top of the salary scale. "Sounds good," Jackson said when asked about Harbaugh's comments. |

49ers | George Kittle may see more targets Wed Jun 18, 05:39 PM
San Francisco 49ers TE George Kittle may receive more routes this upcoming season because the team can use TE Luke Farrell as a blocking tight end in two-tight end sets, according to general manager John Lynch.
| Footballguys view: Last year, Kittle stayed in to pass block on 11.6 percent of the team's passing plays -- his highest mark since 2021. In 2023, when they played more multi-TE personnel, he was on pass blocking on 7.0 percent of the team's pass plays. As USA Today's Kyle Madson suggests, with question marks at wide receiver, having Kittle, who led the team with 1,106 receiving yards and eight touchdown catches last year, available as often as possible makes sense. His consistent production over time makes his TE3 average draft position and fourth-round price this summer appealing. |

Chiefs | Travis Kelce Says Decision To Return This Year Was Easy Wed Jun 18, 04:50 PM
While there was plenty of speculation that Chiefs TE Travis Kelce could retire a few months ago, the 35-year-old elected to stick around for at least one more season. In his Wednesday minicamp press conference, Kelce told reporters that the decision to return wasn't that hard for him. "I love football," Kelce said. "It wasn't a very tough one for me. I know I'm getting older, but at the same time, I still feel like I got a lot that I can prove in this league. With that being said, it really wasn't that hard of a decision for me."
| Footballguys view: The next question is whether 2025 will be the last season for the storied tight end, who will turn 36 in October. "I got one year on this contract, I know that," Kelce said. "And we'll try and figure out something for next year." This year, Kelce's TE6 ADP keeps him in starter territory while reflecting his disappointing 2024 season. For the record, Kelce remains one of the most prolific tight ends in the NFL. His 97 catches ranked third among all tight ends. |

Ravens | DeAndre Hopkins Making A Strong Impression On His Quarterback Wed Jun 18, 04:42 PM
Wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is wrapping up his first offseason program with the Ravens, and he's made a strong impression on at least one of his new teammates. It's an important one. "That guy is dope. He is different," quarterback Lamar Jackson said via the team's website.
| Footballguys view: Hopkins made a sliding, one-handed grab of a pass that Jackson threw behind him in Tuesday's minicamp practice, and Jackson raved about what would come from Hopkins' ability to make plays like that when he spoke to reporters after the session. "That's some super vet type of stuff," Jackson said. "I am looking forward to throwing a lot of touchdowns to him this year." As PFT notes, Hopkins, currently being drafted as WR72, and Jackson will continue working on theirs at training camp before hitting the field against the Bills on the first Sunday night of the regular season. |

Giants | Darius Slayton has good offseason Wed Jun 18, 04:38 PM
New York Giants WR Darius Slayton was one of the standout performers during offseason workouts, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Jordan Raanan.
| Footballguys view: As Newsweek noted, Slayton has been consistent for the Giants since being drafted in the fifth round in 2019. That said, shifting starting quarterbacks last season resulted in his production taking a hit. Across 16 appearances, he totaled 573 yards (his lowest since 2021) and two touchdowns (ties career-low). This year, Slayton seems excited to get to work with former Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson. With a more reliable talent like Wilson under center, it could result in a rebound as Slayton, currently carrying a WR78 average draft position, works alongside talented youngster Malik Nabers. |

Commanders | Noah Brown may not miss much time Wed Jun 18, 04:05 PM
Washington Commanders WR Noah Brown's (undisclosed) injury is not believed to be serious but there is no official word on the injury, in the opinion of ESPN.com's John Keim.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today notes, Washington isn't required to report on injuries during the offseason, so information is thin. Considering the medical cart came onto the field for Brown, many assumed it was a serious injury, at least initially. While his comments suggest things may not be as bad as they appeared, it's important to note that Keim had no specific news on the injury and that it was only his belief that it was not serious. Brown was Washington's second-leading receiver last year before he injured his kidney in Week 13 and missed the remainder of the season. We'll follow up when camp opens. |

Broncos | Marvin Mims in line for solid role Wed Jun 18, 03:29 PM
Denver Broncos WR Marvin Mims will be used on kick and punt returns this upcoming season and is also expected to have a role in the offense.
| Footballguys view: While Mims struggled to find his place on offense as a rookie in 2023, that started to change last year when he caught 39 passes for 503 yards and six touchdowns while rushing 13 times for 42 yards. With Mims playing at a high level on special teams, the Broncos will continue to use him on kickoffs and punt returns but expect him to play a greater role on offense as well. That doesn't make him a draft-worthy fantasy prospect, but he'll be a player to watch once the season starts. |

Titans | Coach happy with Kalel Mullings Wed Jun 18, 02:57 PM
Tennessee Titans RB Kalel Mullings (abdomen) was limited this offseason because of an abdomen injury, but running backs Randy Jordan said Mullings was impressive in the classroom.
| Footballguys view: The Titans talked openly about adding a physical, downhill runner to their stable early in the offseason and followed that by selecting Mullings in the draft. Mullings plays with a physicality that Tennessee lacked and could be a perfect power complement to Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears in the backfield. We'll be watching for signs that the rookie's role is developing as training camp unfolds. |
Jaguars | GM explains Travis Hunter WR offseason work Wed Jun 18, 02:46 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR/CB Travis Hunter received more time at wide receiver during offseason workouts because the team believes his more natural position is cornerback, according to general manager James Gladstone. 'Our understanding that Travis is most naturally comfortable, most naturally in-tune on the defensive side of the ball.' Gladstone said. 'We wanted to load him offensively throughout this window to ensure that by the time we got to training camp, we had a runway built up on that side because there is so much more nuance.'
| Footballguys view: As USA Today's Paul Bretl explained, once training camp arrives, we will start to see a lot more of Hunter playing both sides of the ball during a single practice. As we explained in an item published here Tuesday, when it comes to how much time Hunter will spend at receiver versus cornerback in-game once the regular season arrives remains to be seen. As Gladstone mentioned, the Jaguars will remain fluid in that regard, with the opponent and week-to-week game plans dictating where Hunter's playing time could come from. Despite that uncertainty, Hunter is being drafted as WR29. |
Giants | Cam Skattebo reaches agreement on deal Wed Jun 18, 02:38 PM
New York Giants fourth-round draft choice RB Cam Skattebo agreed to terms on a four-year contract with the Giants Wednesday, June 18, according to sources. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Upon arrival, Skattebo was viewed as an ideal complement to Tyrone Tracy Jr., who finished his rookie campaign last year as the Giants' lead back. While he's a tough runner, NorthJersey.com's Art Stapleton contends the newcomer's value as a receiver has been overlooked throughout the pre-draft evaluation process. Stapleton further believes the more opportunities Skattebo gets this summer, the more likely he'll get an immediate role in the backfield with Tracy and veteran Devin Singletary. It's worth noting that Tracy has an early average draft position of RB31; Skattebo is already RB33. They're going in Rounds 8 and 9, respectively. |
Jets | Anders Carlson off roster Wed Jun 18, 01:27 PM
New York Jets PK Anders Carlson was released Wednesday, June 18.
| Footballguys view: Carlson, a 2023 sixth-round pick with the Packers, kicked in five games for the Jets and went 8-for-10 on field goals. His release comes after the team signed Harrison Mevis, widely known as the "Thiccer Kicker." Kicking was one of the many problems that plagued the Jets' 2024 campaign, with the club continuously rotating at the position as far into the year as January. A 6-foot, 242-pound kicker out of Missouri -- where he earned his infamous nickname -- Mevis made 20 of 21 attempts during the 2025 UFL season with the Birmingham Stallions. |

Chiefs | JuJu Smith-Schuster impressive at practice Wed Jun 18, 01:12 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR JuJu Smith-Schuster was one of the standout performers during practice Tuesday, June 17, with impressive catches, in the opinion of Chiefs.com's Matt McMullen.
| Footballguys view: McMullen's reporting has been echoed by other observers, who suggest Smith-Schuster's strong showing could solidify his role in the offense. In the 11-on-11 part of Tuesday's practice, Patrick Mahomes reportedly threw four passes to Smith-Schuster, more than any other receiver, opening the door to more interest in his potential role this season. That said, it's one practice. Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy remain the fantasy prospects of interest at the position here. But we'll keep an eye out for more on Smith-Schuster as the season draws nearer. |

Ravens | Baltimore adds Jaire Alexander Wed Jun 18, 01:06 PM
Free-agent CB Jaire Alexander (Packers) signed with the Baltimore Ravens Wednesday, June 18. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Subsequent reporting indicates Alexander signed a one-year contract for $4 million with $2 million in incentives. Alexander boosts a corner crew that includes All-Pro Marlon Humphrey, 2024 first-rounder Nate Wiggins and veteran Chidobe Awuzie. If he remains healthy, Alexander and Wiggins outside and Humphrey in the slot make for a very good trio. Of course, health has been an issue for Alexander. With the Packers unable to count on him week in and week out, they didn't want to pay $16.5 million in base salary. Now, however, the Ravens get Alexander at a considerable discount. |
