Free-agent WR Robert Woods (Texans) agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Pittsburgh Steelers Monday, April 28, worth $2 million, according to a source.
Footballguys view: Woods spent the last two seasons with the Texans and caught 60 passes for 629 yards and a touchdown in 29 regular season games. He also had four catches for 39 yards in the playoffs. DK Metcalf and George Pickens are at the top of the receiver depth chart in Pittsburgh. Calvin Austin, Roman Wilson, Scotty Miller, and Ben Skowronek are also on hand. As Profootballtalk.com noted, we still don't know who their quarterback will be. Still, word from Steelers owner Art Rooney II over the weekend suggested Aaron Rodgers will be making his decision about joining the Steelers sooner rather than later. |

Link to storyChargers wide receiver Quentin Johnson, the team's first-round pick in 2023, will "have to earn his roster spot" in training camp, according to Daniel Popper of The Athletic.
Footballguys view: Popper has rookie Tre Harris starting alongside Mike Williams and Ladd McConkey in three-wide sets, bringing up the possibility of moving rookie KeAndre Lambert-Smith onto the field when they "need more speed." None of this sets up especially well for Johnston, the last pick of the Tom Telesco regime. Johnson struggled with poor route running and repeated drops as a rookie. He improved last year with a 55/711/8 receiving line, but he may be fighting for one of the last spots on the roster this year if everyone makes it through training camp without an injury. Meanwhile, Harris, a second-round pick this year, is a player to watch. |

Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports that the Browns will not exercise their fifth-year option on Kenny Pickett's contract.
Footballguys view: Pickett was a Steelers first-round pick in 2022, and the option went with him when he was traded to the Eagles and the Browns at the end of the 2022 season. As PFT notes, Pickett went into last week set to compete with Joe Flacco for the starting job in Cleveland, but the picture looks quite different this week. The Browns drafted Dillon Gabriel in the third round and then traded up to select Shedeur Sanders after passing on the chance to draft him several times. How those pieces fit will be the object of much attention over the coming months, but the Browns passing on the options is unsurprising regardless of how things shake out. Pickett would be guaranteed $22.117 million under the terms of the option, and that's too high a price, given how things have played out over his first three seasons. |

Link to storyThe first round of the draft unfolded ideally for the Colts, who had TE Tyler Warren fall into their lap at No. 14 overall. Warren excelled at Penn State, playing a variety of roles on the team's offense. On Sunday, Indianapolis head coach Shane Steichen called Warren "a guy who can do it all."
Footballguys view: The Colts envision Warren as someone they can move all over the formation. "If he's in-line, he can block," Steichen said. "Like I said, he can do it all. You can split him out wide. They threw him middle screens, you know? Just get the ball in his hands however you can." Steichen added that Warren's presence will have a "huge" impact on the quarterback -- no small matter with Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones battling for the starting job. In 2024 at Penn State, Warren caught 104 passes for 1,233 yards with eight touchdowns and rushed 26 times for 218 yards with four TDs. Warren has been going as TE7 in pre-NFL Draft best balls. That seems optimistic, but we'll watch to see if Steichen can dial up the usage to meet his expectations. |

Link to storyFree-agent WR Tyler Lockett (Seahawks) officially signed a one-year contract worth a reported $4 million with the Tennessee Titans on Monday, April 28. The deal is reportedly worth up to $6 million with incentives.
Footballguys view: Lockett joins the Titans after spending the past 10 seasons with the Seahawks, where he ranks second in team history in receptions (661), receiving yards (8,594), and receiving touchdowns (61). Lockett, who turns 33 in September, will be part of a revamped receiving corps with the Titans. Over the weekend, the Titans drafted receivers Chimere Dike (Florida) and Elic Ayomanor (Stanford) in the fourth round of the NFL Draft. Back in March, the team signed veteran receiver Van Jefferson in free agency. Those players will join returners Calvin Ridley, Treylon Burks, Mason Kinsey, Bryce Oliver, Jha'Quan Jackson, Colton Dowell, James Proche II, and Tay Martin. |
