Bears | Chicago pleased with Rome Odunze's professionalism Thu May 22, 02:20 PM
Chicago Bears WR Rome Odunze is 'very much like a seasoned pro' and someone head coach Ben Johnson has been 'extremely impressed' with so far.'To be a second-year guy, you would expect a little bit more inconsistency. And yet, the way he approaches the meeting room, the walk-throughs, the on-field, the drill work, it's very much like a seasoned pro, some of the best that I've been around. ... I think we're going to see a lot of growth from him, not just in the springtime, but once we get to camp,' Johnson said during his press conference on Wednesday, May 21.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the second-year receiver. Odunze had a disappointing rookie season with all the hype that was generated during the draft last year for the first-round receiver. He finished with 54 catches for 734 yards and three touchdowns. Now, with Johnson running the offense, Odunze is seen as a WR3/flex option with plenty of upside. |

Steelers | Pittsburgh remaining patient with Aaron Rodgers Thu May 22, 01:56 PM
Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Jets) remains undecided about his playing future as of Thursday, May 22, but the Pittsburgh Steelers remain open to signing him, according to team president Art Rooney II, who repeated the team will wait 'a little while longer.'
| Footballguys view: It seems like a matter of 'when' and not 'if' with the Steelers and Rodgers. The team is open to signing him, and the Steelers might be the best (and only?) remaining landing spot for the veteran. Rodgers throwing to DK Metcalf with the support of a strong rushing attack sounds like a recipe for success. We'll continue to wait for something most everyone thinks is going to happen. |

49ers | Ethan Waugh likely headed back to San Francisco Thu May 22, 01:24 PM
Former Jacksonville Jaguars assistant general manager Ethan Waugh is expected to return to the San Francisco 49ers, according to a source. Before his time with the Jaguars, Waugh served as the 49ers' vice president of player personnel from 2021 to 2022.
| Footballguys view: The move makes sense as Waugh worked for the 49ers for 17 years. When Trent Baalke left the 49ers for the Jaguars a few years ago, Waugh followed him to Florida. With Baalke fired, and James Gladstone hired, Waugh now goes back to the 49ers in a yet undetermined role. |
Dolphins | Tyreek Hill making a good impression on WRs coach Thu May 22, 01:17 PM
Miami Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill 'has been great,' according to wide receivers coach Robert Prince.'Tyreek's been great. If I text him, he texts me back. If I call him, he calls me back. He says I'm going to be here, he's been here. And it's been great. I've had nothing but positive experiences with Tyreek, and he's a great leader in the room,' Prince recently told the Miami Herald.
| Footballguys view: Good news for the Dolphins here. Hill hinted about wanting to be traded away earlier this year, but things seem to have smoothed over. He underwent a second, pre-planned surgery to remove screws placed in his wrist during the first offseason surgery. Now, Hill seems to be doing great on his road to recovery. Hill should push for low-end WR1 numbers in 2025. |

Miami Dolphins CB Jalen Ramsey continues to garner trade interest, but the team said nothing is imminent.
| Footballguys view: While nothing may be imminent, Ramsey is likely gone in the near future. The Dolphins would incur a $25 million salary cap hit if they trade him before July 1, and it's roughly $7 million if he's dealt after that. Wolfe has reported a few teams to monitor, including the Rams, Panthers, and Falcons. |

Saints | Jake Haener out a couple of weeks Thu May 22, 09:55 AM
New Orleans Saints QB Jake Haener (oblique) suffered an oblique strain Wednesday, May 21, and will miss a couple of weeks.
| Footballguys view: Bad news for the third-year quarterback. He was competing to establish a pecking order as the Saints have a wide-open quarterback competition. Now, Spencer Rattler and rookie Tyler Shough have a leg up over Haener. This injury keeps Haener out of OTAs and minicamp, but he should be back by training camp. |

Chargers | Tre Harris to take pressure off Ladd McConkey Thu May 22, 01:36 AM
Los Angeles Chargers WR Tre Harris 'fits the mold' of what LA needs from its outside wide receivers, in the opinion of The Athletic's Daniel Popper, who writes that Harris' ability to 'attack defenses outside the numbers' should make opposing secondaries 'divide their attention' instead of focusing solely on stopping WR Ladd McConkey out of the slot.
| Footballguys view: Harris can work all three levels of the field. He's got the run-after-the-catch ability to take short passes and turn them into long gains. He's got the fearlessness to work over the middle on intermediate routes. He's even got the late hands/ball-tracking to work as a downfield threat. With a nose for the end zone, Harris will be an interesting no.3 receiver for the Chargers...and a deep flex play for Fantasy GMs in deep leagues. |
Jets | Garrett Wilson to be busy Thu May 22, 01:36 AM
New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson will be targeted 'as much as possible' next season, according to head coach Aaron Glenn.
| Footballguys view: We love that idea for the Jets and for Fantasy GMs out there. We'll see QB Justin Fields target Wilson early and often this year, and the strength of the connection will tell us how many fantasy points can be earned. Wilson is a WR2 with upside, but those numbers could push for WR1 range if he's getting targeted as much as possible. |

Packers | Javon Bullard to see fewer snaps? Thu May 22, 01:21 AM
Green Bay Packers S Javon Bullard could be the odd man out in the secondary, in the opinion of The Athletic's Matt Schneidman, who writes that newly signed CB Nate Hobbs is likely to play in the slot in nickel situations with CBs Keisean Nixon and Carrington Valentine (or CB Jaire Alexander, if he remains with the club) working on the outside. Bullard is currently behind S Evan Williams on the safety depth chart as well, per Schneidman.
Link to story Packers | MarShawn Lloyd could play significant role in 2025 Thu May 22, 12:56 AM
Green Bay Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd offers 'intriguing speed' and a 'pass-catching element' that 'could do wonders for the Packers' offense,' in the opinion of The Athletic's Matt Schneidman, who notes that Lloyd is working without restrictions this offseason after missing all but one game as a rookie due to injury.
| Footballguys view: Lloyd's rookie season was cut short by a hamstring injury and appendicitis in 2024. He's got speed, and he wastes little motion as a runner. If healthy, Lloyd is a player we like (especially in deep dynasty formats) and can win the no.2 job behind Josh Jacobs in 2025. |
Cardinals | Arizona signs J.J. Russell Thu May 22, 12:22 AM
The Arizona Cardinals signed free-agent LB J.J. Russell (Buccaneers) on Wednesday, May 21. In a corresponding move, LB Milo Eifler was released.

Tennessee Titans first-round draft choice QB Cam Ward signed a four-year contract with the Titans Wednesday, May 21. Financial terms were not disclosed, but the deal does include a fifth-year option.
| Footballguys view: Ward is participating in the team's offseason program after participating in the team's rookie minicamp earlier this month. While splitting first-team reps with Will Levis, Ward will surely be the Week 1 starter in Tennessee. The rookie is QB26 on the Footballguys Projections. |

Link to story Bears | Luther Burden does not practice Wed May 21, 04:24 PM
Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III (undisclosed) did not participate in practice Wednesday, May 21, because of a soft tissue injury, according to head coach Ben Johnson.
| Footballguys view: "We're working through a little soft-tissue deal with him right now, and it remains to be seen when we'll get him back," Johnson said. The Bears selected Burden with the 39th overall pick, the sixth wide receiver off the board. It has Burden motivated to make "everybody who passed up on me . . . pay." He might not have tremendous redraft value this season, but Burden's versatility and ability to create yards after the catch made him a focal point of Missouri's offense. His long-term future in Johnson's offense in Chicago should be of great interest to Dynasty investors. |

Eagles | Tush Push Ban Fails, Jalen Hurts To Continue Benefiting Wed May 21, 03:49 PM
A proposed ban of the tush push play that the Philadelphia Eagles have popularized did not receive enough votes at the spring meeting Wednesday in Eagan, Minnesota. Sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter that the final vote was 22-10 on the proposal, which the Green Bay Packers submitted. The proposal needed 24 votes to pass.
| Footballguys view: Eagles QB Jalen Hurts has double-digit rushing touchdowns in each of the last four years. His 52 rushing touchdowns over that span are 12 more than Josh Allen's 40 for Buffalo. No other quarterback has 20 rushing touchdowns over the last four years. That rushing equity is an integral part of Hurts' fantasy success and a big reason he sits at QB5 in the current Footballguys Projections. |

Jets | NYJ, Garrett Wilson have had contract talks Wed May 21, 03:17 PM
New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson has had some contract extension talks with the Jets this offseason and hopes to remain with the team for the rest of his career.
| Footballguys view: Wilson has three straight seasons with over 80 receptions and 1,000 yards to start his career in the league, joining Odell Beckham Jr., Michael Thomas, Justin Jefferson, and Ja'Marr Chase as the only receivers in NFL history to accomplish that feat. He's done it despite dealing with sub-par quarterback play in New York. This year, Wilson could benefit from the signing of QB Justin Fields. The two had success together at Ohio State, so their reunion could produce some numbers in 2025. If so, Wilson will be a value. He's currently WR25 on the Footballguys Projections. |
Commanders | Terry McLaurin not at workout Wed May 21, 02:51 PM
Washington Commanders WR Terry McLaurin did not attend the team's offseason workout Wednesday, May 21. He is entering the final year of his current contract.
| Footballguys view: According to FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz, McLaurin had been a full participant previously, so it is unclear whether his absence was related to his desire for a contract extension. The start of Phase 3 of the program next week will better indicate whether McLaurin is making a statement. A third-round pick in 2019, McLaurin had a career-best 13 touchdowns in his first season playing with QB Jayden Daniels. He caught 82 passes for 1,096 yards, his fifth consecutive 1,000-yard season. McLaurin is WR17 on the Footballguys 2025 Projections. |

Patriots | Drake Maye struggles at practice Wed May 21, 02:16 PM
New England Patriots QB Drake Maye threw four interceptions during team drills at practice Tuesday, May 20.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today's Jordy McElroy suggested, we shouldn't press the panic button at the first OTA practice open to the media. The offense has several new pieces, including the play-caller. They are still all working to get in sync with one another. It also wasn't all bad news, considering Maye started to settle down later in the practice. Limiting turnovers will be a point of emphasis for the second-year man, who's currently QB17 on the Footballguys Projections. |

Cowboys | Dak Prescott not fully cleared Wed May 21, 01:15 PM
Updating a previous report, Dallas Cowboys QB Dak Prescott (hamstring) is able to do most things during offseason workouts but has not been cleared for contact at this time.
| Footballguys view: Prescott, who underwent surgery Nov. 13 last year, started his rehab soon after. Despite the no-contact limitations, he told reporters he is ahead, not behind, in his offseason work. It's worth noting the 32-year-old has missed a total of 26 games in the past five seasons with ankle, calf, thumb, and hamstring injuries. That said, Prescott has finished as a fantasy QB1 every year he's played a full 16- or 17-game season. That's six times in nine years. He's currently being drafted as QB16 in early best-ball drafts. |

Link to story Colts | DJ Giddens to help in passing situations Wed May 21, 01:00 AM
Indianapolis Colts RB DJ Giddens is 'poised' to operate as the team's primary pass-catching back as a rookie, in the opinion of The Athletic's James Boyd. Free-agent signee RB Khalil Herbert should be the backup while RB Tyler Goodson could be on his way out following the pair of offseason additions.
| Footballguys view: As noted in the Footballguys Rookie Draft Guide 3.0, Giddens showcased eye-popping athleticism at the Combine, and that athleticism could help him stand out against the veteran backups in camp. Still, like most other backs taken on Day 3 of the draft, we should be realistic -- especially with Jonathan Taylor in the lead role. Giddens is worth a late-round flier in the deepest leagues, but expectations should be low. |
Colts | Kicking job belongs to Spencer Shrader? Wed May 21, 12:35 AM
Indianapolis Colts PK Spencer Shrader, who was signed shortly before the team released PK Matt Gay, is set to battle undrafted free-agent PK Maddox Trujillo for the kicking duties in the preseason, but the job is Shrader's to lose, in the opinion of The Athletic's James Boyd. Shrader went 5-for-5 while splitting time with the New York Jets and Kansas City Chiefs last season.
| Footballguys view: As an undrafted rookie in 2024 who began his NFL career with the Colts before making two other stops last season, Shrader is still an inexperienced player, with only nine career extra point attempts and five career field goal attempts -- all of which he has made. We'll watch for more on this competition. |
Seahawks | Jalen Milroe deal becomes official Wed May 21, 12:02 AM
Updating a previous report, Seattle Seahawks QB Jalen Milroe officially signed his four-year rookie contract on Tuesday, May 20. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Milroe, the 92nd overall pick, joins a quarterback room that includes free-agent addition Sam Darnold, a Pro-Bowl selection last year, and Drew Lock, who returned to Seattle this offseason after spending last year with the Giants. Meanwhile, as noted in the 2025 Footballguys Rookie Draft Guide Version 3.0, Milroe has a big arm, pocket strength, and blazing speed. He also needs to develop as a passer. Still, if the Seahawks find themselves out of contention late in the season, they might want to see what they have in Milroe and his athleticism would make him an immediate and tempting streamer. |
Titans | Tony Pollard feeling good Wed May 21, 12:01 AM
Tennessee Titans RB Tony Pollard told reporters on Tuesday, May 20, that his recovery from the ankle sprain he suffered late last season has gone great and allowed him to prepare better this offseason.
| Footballguys view: As noted in a previous item, Pollard handled a heavy workload last year (more than 300 touches). The ankle injury sidelined him for Week 17, and HC Brian Callahan suggested on Tuesday that he'd like to see Pollard share more with Tyjae Spears and perhaps a third back. Again, Pollard is being drafted as RB26 in early best-balls, so expectations reflect the possible timeshare. |

| Footballguys view: TeSlaa brings a unique size/speed combination to Detroit. His physical skills will make him a big-play threat from the get-go. Because of that, the Footballguys Rookie Draft Guide 3.0 contends TeSlaa has an immediate "better in best ball" profile. For long-term investors, TeSlaa is WR16 on the Footballguys 2025 Rookie Rankings. |

Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) told reporters on Tuesday, May 20, that he needed 'a good five months of real recovery and rehab' before the shoulder injury that ended his 2024 season felt right.
| Footballguys view: The consensus WR1 heading into 2024, Lamb went from averaging an NFL-best 23.8 fantasy points per game in 2023 to 17.6 points per game this past season. That was more due to QB issues than his shoulder. Lamb averaged 18.5 fantasy points in eight games with a healthy Dak Prescott last season. He was the WR4 during that time. In his final seven games, all played without Prescot, Lamb averaged 16.5 points. He dropped to WR11 before missing the final two games due to the shoulder. Lamb is currently the fifth player off the board on Underdog as the WR3. |
