Vikings | Kwesi Adofo-Mensah extended Fri May 30, 11:00 AM
Minnesota Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah to a multiyear extension Friday, May 30. Financial terms weren't disclosed.
Footballguys view: Earlier this year, the Vikings locked up HC Kevin O'Connell with a five-year contract. O'Connell and Adofo-Mensah came to the Vikings together back in 2022, and they're keeping this duo for the foreseeable future. Adofo-Mensah's drafts leave something to be desired, but he's worked hard to find free agent gems for the team over the last few years. Ryan Grigson and Demitrius Washington were given the new titles of assistant general manager. |
Tennessee Titans C Lloyd Cushenberry (Achilles) is 'progressing' and has shown he can anchor, according to head coach Brian Callahan via ESPN.com's Turron Davenport.
Link to storyHouston Texans WR Christian Kirk 'has been everything we could ask for (so far this offseason),' according to head coach DeMeco Ryans. Teammate Nico Collins referred to Kirk as a 'slot magician.''You talk about a guy who is dedicated to getting better. He has honed in on his craft and he's leading our young guys. He's a hard worker, he shows up every day with the right attitude working hard and showing guys how it's done,' Ryans said.
Footballguys view: The last time Kirk played a full season (2022), he finished with over 1,100 yards receiving and eight touchdowns. Injuries shortened his last two seasons with the Jaguars, and now Kirk is impressing with the Texans. We're not projecting him over 1,000 with this new team, but if Kirk plays a full season as a 'slot magician' we could see him catching around 60 passes for around 800 yards and 4-5 touchdowns. That's worth a consideration as a deep flex option for Fantasy GMs out there. |

Jacksonville Jaguars seventh-round draft choice OL Jonah Monheim (Southern California) signed his four-year rookie contract worth $4.344 million - including a signing bonus of $144,308 - earlier this month.

Link to storyCincinnati Bengals WR Jordan Moore - an undrafted free-agent out of Duke - will be a player to keep an eye on in the preseason, according to Dan Hoard of Bengals.com.'He's an A+ young man, fits our culture, and wants to be great. He's coachable, and I'm excited to have him as one of our guys,' wide receivers coach Troy Walters said recently
Footballguys view: Moore was extremely productive in college at Duke. For his Blue Devils career, Moore played in 49 games and had 35 starts, catching 177 passes for 2,352 yards and 21 touchdowns. He's an explosive player off the line of scrimmage, and Moore can change direction quickly without losing much speed. He's buried on the depth chart with the Bengals, so with impressive performances in training camp and the preseason Moore is angling for a developmental spot on the practice squad. |

San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (undisclosed) attended the offseason workout Thursday, May 29, but did not participate.
Footballguys view: Pearsall (hamstring) is dealing with a hamstring injury and likely will be sidelined until training camp, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. When healthy, Pearsall has plenty of flex appeal for Fantasy GMs out there. |
Dallas Cowboys LB DeMarvion Overshown (knee) is making progress in his recovery from a serious knee injury but said he will not rush back to the lineup. Overshown does not have a definite timetable for his return.

Arizona Cardinals OT Jonah Williams (knee) worked on a side field during practice Wednesday, May 28.
Link to storyArizona Cardinals RB James Conner (knee) participated in practice Thursday, May 29.
Footballguys view: Good news for the veteran back here. He missed the final game of the 2024 season because of a knee injury. Earlier this offseason, Cardinals HC Jonathan Gannon said â€"If [Trey Benson] takes the necessary jump from Year 1 to Year 2, I think we have two starting backs.†Conner is the lead back for the Cardinals, but Benson may force more of an RBBC approach in 2025. |

Miami Dolphins fifth-round draft choice CB Jason Marshall Jr. 'has a chance to be a really good player,' according to fellow teammate and cornerback Kader Kohou.'Man, he's a baller. He's quiet. He comes every day ready to work. He's like a sponge, he's always taking notes and stuff like that. He's big, athletic - he has a chance to be a really good player,' Kohou said recently.

Link to storyKansas City Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco 'looks tremendous right now,' according to head coach Andy Reid.
Footballguys view: Pacheco had an injury-plagued 2024 and ended up in a timeshare with Kareem Hunt. If back to full strength, Pacheco brings plenty of power and speed to the Chiefs backfield. Hunt is back on a one-year deal, and the Chiefs spent a late-round pick on a converted receiver in SMU's Brashard Smith. We'll see how this backfield shapes up in training camp, but expect Pacheco and Hunt to split time. |
Miami Dolphins TE Jonnu Smith reportedly expressed an interest in reworking his current contract, which is scheduled to pay him $4.8 million for the 2025 season, and the team has reportedly countered by opening up trade discussions with the Pittsburgh Steelers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
Footballguys view: Smith is in the final year of his contract and wants a new deal. Last year, and his first year with the Dolphins, Smith had career highs in targets (111), receptions (88), yards (884), and touchdowns (8). Schefter is reporting that Smith's preference is to stay in Miami with a re-worked contract. |

Link to storyKansas City Chiefs WR Rashee Rice (knee) was absent from practice on Thursday, May 29, due to an illness and not because of a setback with his knee, according to coach Andy Reid.
Footballguys view: Fantasy GMs will be monitoring Rice closely during training camp and the preseason. First, it's because of the upside Rice has in this offense. Second, it's because of this knee injury he suffered last year in Week 4. At OTAs on Thursday, Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes said Rice looks like himself and has 'no limitations.' |

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. |

Cincinnati Bengals DE Trey Hendrickson has firmly indicated that he has no desire to play on his current contract and 'very well might follow through on his promise to miss games or even the season,' according to a source via ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.
Footballguys view: The Bengals need all the help they can get on defense, and Hendrickson is one of the best in the league. The relationship is as sour as it can be, and Hendrickson has no problem airing his frustration with the team publicly. Anything can happen, and money would make everything better but this is as ugly as it can get. |

Green Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (knee) is doing 'outstanding' and 'ahead of schedule' in his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament in Week 18 last season, according to head coach Matt LaFleur.
Footballguys view: Everything is on track for Watson in his recovery. However, based on the timing of the injury last year we are unlikely to see Watson on the field until the midway point of the regular season. Watson should begin training camp and the regular season on the PUP list as he furthers his recovery. |
Dallas Cowboys OT Tyler Guyton has enjoyed a strong offseason, according to head coach Brian Schottenheimer.
Link to storyIndianapolis Colts QBs Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones are engaging in an 'open competition' where both players will split reps during organized team activities, according to head coach Shane Steichen.'We're breaking down the reps. They are both getting one reps. They're both getting two reps. I think through OTAs, we've got nine good practices. They'll both get about 170 reps a piece with those guys, with the ones and twos, and we'll flip-flop them. You guys were out there today. You saw how it worked, and that's how it's going to go. ... We have like first- (and) second-down day, then we have a third-down day. So we don't want one guy getting all the third-down reps with the ones. So, we're going to flip it that way, and then we go to a red zone day. It's the same reason,' Steichen said.
Footballguys view: No surprise here. The Colts have been saying for some time that both quarterbacks are going to have a chance at the starting job. Richardson is their former first-round pick, and he still has incredible upside because of his physical tools. Jones, a former first-round pick of the Giants, has athleticism too and more starting experience. We'll see this battle shake out in training camp. |

New England Patriots WR Stefon Diggs (knee) was absent from voluntary organized team activity, Wednesday, May 28, one day after a video of him surfaced on social media in which he was on a boat and flashed an unidentified pink substance while surrounded by three women. 'It's something we're aware of and obviously we want to make great decisions on and off the field,' head coach Mike Vrabel said. '... Any conversations that I've had with Stefon will remain between him and I and the club.'
Footballguys view: Vrabel has been communicating with the veteran receiver, and we're unlikely to hear much about this going forward. The NFL has declined comment on the video, and Diggs is still recovering from the knee injury he suffered last year so he wouldn't be participating in OTAs anyway. |

Los Angeles Chargers CB Cam Hart (shoulder) underwent surgery in January to repair a torn labrum he suffered during the team's Wild Card loss to the Houston Texans. Hart, who has not been medically cleared to return, expects to be back on the field for mandatory minicamp, which begins June 10.
Link to storyGreen Bay Packers WR Jayden Reed indicated that his agent's meeting with the Packers following the NFL Draft was 'misinterpreted,' and that it was simply to get his new representation on the 'same page' with the Packers' front office. He also noted that the meeting was planned prior to the draft, and it was not in response to the selections of WRs Matthew Golden and Savion Williams.
Footballguys view: The Packers don't have a no.1 receiver, but Reed did play more snaps than anyone on their team at the position in 2024. From a fantasy perspective, Packers receivers are going to spread the production around. We'll see how the rookie receivers work into the mix, but Reed is likely to produce like a WR3/flex option in 2025. |

New England Patriots WRs Kendrick Bourne, Kayshon Boutte, Javon Baker, and Ja'Lynn Polk are likely to have a 'spirited competition' for a place on the team's 53-man roster, in the opinion of ESPN's Mike Reiss, who considers WRs Stefon Diggs (knee), DeMario Douglas, Kyle Williams, and Mack Hollins to be the top-four receivers. Most NFL teams carry five or six wideouts, in which case the group of Bourne, Boutte, Baker, and Polk could be competing for one or two spots.
Footballguys view: The Patriots added Stefon Diggs this offseason, and they drafted Kyle Williams (Washington State) in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft. With the receivers already in place (not named Demario Douglas), there's going to be a fierce competition for roster spots. Playing special teams to give added value will help in determining who makes the team. |

New York Giants TE Theo Johnson 'looks bigger' and stood out during individual drills at OTAs Wednesday, May 28.
Footballguys view: Let's see how strong the chemistry Johnson can build with (likely) starting QB Russell Wilson. Johnson is in line to be the top tight end for the Giants, with guys like Daniel Bellinger, Chris Manhertz, Greg Dulcich, and Thomas Fidone fighting for roster spots. |
New York Giants WR Jalin Hyatt worked with the starters during OTAs Wednesday, May 28.
Footballguys view: Hyatt has talent, but the former third-round pick has not played up to his potential in two pro seasons. Last year, Hyatt had only eight catches for 62 yards. This year, Hyatt is trying to make the right impression and getting first-team work in practice. |

Atlanta Falcons restricted free-agent C Ryan Neuzil reached an agreement on a two-year, $9.5 million deal that includes $6.25 million in guarantees.
Link to storyLos Angeles Rams RB Kyren Williams is making progress in contract extension talks with the team, according to head coach Sean McVay.
Footballguys view: According to SI.com, Williams needs a big season for him to earn another payday. His numbers have increased each season, and it wouldn't be entirely shocking if he were to do so again. A career year for a Los Angeles team vying for another shot at the Lombardi Trophy could give Williams a contract in the $10 million average annual value range, putting him among the highest-paid running backs in the NFL. For fantasy investors, Williams making good on his Footballguys 2025 Projection -- RB8 -- would be great since he's being drafted as RB12 in early best balls. |
Minnesota Vikings OG Will Fries (leg) likely will be ready for the start of training camp, according to head coach Kevin O'Connell.
Link to storyGreen Bay Packers WR Christian Watson (knee) is ahead of schedule in his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament, according to head coach Matt LaFleur.
Footballguys view: Since Watson suffered his season-ending injury in the 2024 regular-season finale against the Chicago Bears, being ahead of schedule doesn't ensure the wideout will make it back on the field in 2025. As previously noted, the Packers added Matthew Golden in the first round of April's NFL Draft and Savion Williams in the third round, bolstering their depth at the position. Given the first-round capital invested in Golden, Watson's future in Green Bay beyond 2025 -- the final year of his rookie deal -- might also become uncertain. |
Green Bay Packers WR Savion Williams (undisclosed) wore a non-contact jersey during practice Wednesday, May 28.

Updating a previous report, Atlanta Falcons TE Kyle Pitts (foot) did not practice Tuesday, May 27, because a foot injury but was at the team facility.
Footballguys view: Entering the last year of his rookie contract after the Falcons picked up his fifth-year option last spring, Pitts is set to make $10.878 million in 2025. He caught 68 passes for 1,026 yards with a touchdown as a rookie in 2021 but hasn't hit those numbers since. Last year, Pitts caught 47 passes for 602 yards with four touchdowns while playing all 17 games. In other words, Pitts' best chances of getting paid lie in being healthy and more productive than he has been in recent years. |

Houston Texans RB Joe Mixon (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Wednesday, May 28. He was recently seen wearing a walking boot because of a minor injury, according to a source.
Footballguys view: KPRC2's Aaron Wilson, in making the initial report, downplayed the severity and suggested Mixon would be ready for training camp. Despite missing three games with an ankle injury, Mixon's 1,016 rushing yards last season marked his fourth time crossing the threshold. He also ran for 11 touchdowns, the second-most in his career, and his 4.1 yards per carry were a step up from the season prior. Mixon added another 309 yards on 36 receptions and finished as RB10. He is being drafted as RB16 with the 51st pick overall in early best balls. |
