Jets | OC says Geno Smith a perfect fit Wed May 6, 01:32 PM
New York Jets QB Geno Smith is a perfect fit for the team's new offensive scheme, according to offensive coordinator Frank Reich.
| Footballguys view: From 2021-2024, Smith started 52 games for Seattle, leading the club to a 28-24 record while completing 68.5 percent of his passes for 12,928 yards with 76 touchdowns and 36 interceptions. As Profootballtalk.com suggested, if Smith is better than that, then the Jets will be in a much better position to have success in 2026. That doesn't mean fantasy investors should be counting on Smith to fuel their fantasy fortunes. But thinking he can keep the players we are invested in, Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall, on schedule is reasonable. |

Cardinals | Potential interest in Aaron Rodgers? Wed May 6, 12:51 AM
Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Steelers) was courted on social media by Arizona Cardinals WR Kendrick Bourne, but Cardinals HC Mike LaFleur stated that the team is 'focused on the guys we've got coming in', according to an interview with Jim Rome on Tuesday, May 5.
| Footballguys view: The Steelers' recent decision to apply the unrestricted free agency tender to Rodgers has sparked speculation as to whether Rodgers may be thinking about signing with another team. That speculation has centered on the Cardinals. But Josh Weinfuss of ESPN asked "a source" if the talk "was real." The response was this: "Not at all." As PFT noted, despite the links to LaFleur and offensive coordinator Nathaniel Hackett, the Cardinals face a stiff challenge in 2026 -- one that would make it difficult for Rodgers to cap his career with a playoff berth. |

Raiders | Fernando Mendoza draws skepticism Tue May 5, 11:07 AM
Las Vegas Raiders first overall selection QB Fernando Mendoza lacks NFL traits, according to a coach in the ACC. The coach, whose team faced Mendoza when he was at Cal, said Mendoza's receivers helped him a lot. 'He's a good decision-maker, but I don't think he's got the NFL traits,' the coach said. 'They're all back-shoulder (throws.) That's not working in the NFL. His receivers made plays to make him look better than he is. In the NFL, those throws are getting picked off.'
| Footballguys view: Safe to say the Raiders don't agree with that assessment. As noted in the Footballguys 2026 Rookie Draft Guide, Tom Brady and the rest of the Raiders' front office are committed to letting Mendoza develop behind Kirk Cousins, which could lead to early frustrations for fantasy managers. So be mindful of that when drafting this summer. Beyond that, he remains a viable dynasty asset. Footballguy Sigmund Bloom believes Mendoza's fantasy ceiling is in the Brock Purdy range if Klint Kubiak is successful at rehabilitating the Raiders offense. |
Falcons | Michael Penix Jr. still an unknown Tue May 5, 09:13 AM
Atlanta Falcons QB Michael Penix Jr. (knee) is in a good spot, according to president of football operations Matt Ryan, but they don't know what to expect for training camp.
| Footballguys view: Penix tore his ACL seven months ago. So, as The Athletic's Josh Kendall suggests, health is the first piece of information we need to determine what kind of competition he'll face from free-agent addition Tua Tagovailoa. From there, it's going to be about who best fits into new coach Kevin Stefanski's offense. While Tagovailoa is the favorite, it's hard to imagine the Falcons not giving Penix a shot this year, considering they spent the No. 8 pick on him just two years ago. But a new coaching staff and personnel department will likely feel less pressure to play him. |
Steelers | Patience wearing thin with Aaron Rodgers? Tue May 5, 12:59 AM
Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers' (Steelers) decision to play in 2026 could have the patience of the Pittsburgh Steelers wearing thin, in the opinion of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's Gerry Dulac on Monday, May 4.
| Footballguys view: According to Dulac, the Steelers had some measure of expectation that Rodgers might return by the start of the NFL combine at the end of February. Then, based on their conversations with him, they had a realistic expectation that a decision would come by the start of the NFL Draft. Neither came to pass. If Rodgers hasn't given them a decision by the start of organized team activities on May 18 -- their latest deadline -- their patience will turn into frustration, and, Dulac suggests, something more. Stay tuned. |

Texans | C.J. Stroud has Houston CEO's backing Tue May 5, 12:58 AM
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud has CEO Cal McNair's backing, saying the Texans are 'fully committed' to Stroud on Monday, May 4.
| Footballguys view: This figures to be a big season for Stroud. Last month, the Texans picked up the fifth-year option on his contract. Now, the Texans have another year to negotiate with Stroud's camp and make sure he is their long-term solution at quarterback. During the past two seasons, he failed to throw more than 20 passing touchdowns (with one rushing TD) en route to QB17 and QB21 finishes. A stingy Houston defense means the Texans don't have to throw much, and it's hard to envision a huge shift this year. Stroud's Footballguys projection, QB20, reflects all that. |

Packers | Desmond Ridder off roster Mon May 4, 02:41 PM
Green Bay Packers QB Desmond Ridder was released Monday, May 4, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: The Packers are choosing to move forward with Kyle McCord over Ridder, as far as their reserve-futures quarterbacks go. The move came after the Packers signed veteran Tyrod Taylor as the presumptive backup to Jordan Love. Moving forward, the team has starter Jordan Love, Taylor, McCord, and undrafted rookie Kyron Drones. According to SBNation, with the lanes cleared, all eyes will be on McCord this offseason, who can compete for QB2 on the 53-man roster or a spot on the practice squad. |
Ravens | Skylar Thompson expected to sign Mon May 4, 02:20 PM
Free-agent QB Skylar Thompson (Steelers) is expected to sign with the Baltimore Ravens in the near future, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Head coach Jesse Minter said during the team's rookie minicamp that "there's a place for anywhere from three to five" quarterbacks on Baltimore's offseason roster, and Thompson would make it five. Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley return from last season, while the team signed UDFAs Joe Fagnano and Diego Pavia last week. As Profootballtalk.com reminded readers, Thompson, who spent most of last season on the Steelers' injured reserve list, spent his first three seasons with the Dolphins. The seventh-round pick made four starts in Miami. He was 99-of-183 for 941 yards, two touchdowns, and five interceptions in 11 total appearances. |
Packers | Green Bay adding Tyrod Taylor Mon May 4, 01:52 PM
Free-agent QB Tyrod Taylor (Jets) agreed to terms with the Green Bay Packers Monday, May 4, according to a source. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Taylor is now the favorite to back up Jordan Love, who is entering his fourth season as a starter. Taylor would replace Malik Willis, who played behind Love the past two seasons before signing with the Dolphins in free agency. Before signing the 36-year-old Taylor, the only other quarterbacks the Packers had on the roster were Desmond Ridder, who is being released today, and Kyle McCord. Taylor was a sixth-round pick of the Ravens in 2011, one of only five players from that draft still active in 2025. For his career, Taylor is 29-31-1 as a starter. |

Link to story Cardinals | Carson Beck could sit and learn Sun May 3, 04:30 PM
Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Beck might take a backseat in his rookie season, sitting and learning. Head coach Mike LaFleur said Sunday, May 3, that 'it won't be the worst thing for him' if Beck ends up sitting for part or all of his rookie season. 'It benefits anyone in any position to be able to sit back,' LaFleur said. 'Sometimes, guys don't have the choice because you have to put your best 22 out on the field there.'
| Footballguys view: The Cardinals see a lot to like in Beck. He's run pro-style schemes throughout college. His arm strength, accuracy, and toughness are all evident on tape. He's 6-4 and 220 pounds. But ESPN.com's Josh Weinfuss reports Beck's intangibles were a factor, too. Specifically, he has a level of experience that caught Arizona's attention. In addition to starting 43 games throughout his career, Beck played six years of college football. Although he's behind veterans Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew, Footballguy Sigmund Bloom believes Beck could get a chance to start by the end of the year. |

Link to story Chiefs | More on Patrick Mahomes at OTAs Sun May 3, 03:30 PM
Updating a previous report, Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) is on track to participate in organized team activities (OTAs), even if it is in a limited capacity. 'He is in a good position to be able to do some things,' head coach Andy Reid said. 'If he can do some things, [he'll do it]. Phase 2 [of the offseason program], remember, there's no contact and there's no offense versus defense. It's Phase 3 that you get into that. ... He's in a position where he can do everything, I think.'
| Footballguys view: According to ESPN.com's Nate Taylor, Mahomes has spent most days since his procedure inside the Chiefs' training facility as part of his rehab. In late March, Mahomes posted a four-second social media clip of him throwing the ball again inside a training gym. Since then, Mahomes has continued to increase his workout sessions. If he avoids landing on the physically unable to perform at the start of training camp, it would be a good sign for his chances of being in the lineup when the Chiefs take the field in Week 1 of the regular season. |

NFL | Brendan Sorsby could become supplemental draft candidate Sun May 3, 10:37 AM
Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby may become a candidate for the 2026 NFL Supplemental Draft in July if he is unable to regain his college eligibility, according to multiple sources. He is currently under investigation by the NCAA for making bets using a gambling app and is being represented by lawyer Jeffrey Kessler. If Sorsby is unsuccessful in his attempt to continue his college playing career, he would then become eligible to declare for the supplemental draft on or before June 30.
Link to story Raiders | Fernando Mendoza working under center Sun May 3, 03:02 AM
Las Vegas Raiders QB Fernando Mendoza said he is adjusting to the footwork that comes with playing under center. 'And with that, actually having an emphasis on those first two steps, on securing the snap and getting out of there, and being powerful with having quick feet,' Mendoza said.
| Footballguys view: The Raiders have been holding a rookie minicamp. Mendoza said he "still has a long way to go" to learn how to play under center after operating mostly in shotgun formation in college. In three seasons (two at Cal and one at Indiana), Mendoza took five snaps under center. To make the transition smoother, Mendoza has conducted walk-throughs at the team hotel with the fellow rookies the night before rookie minicamp practices, taking 25 to 50 snaps under center. Mendoza isn't a lock to be the Week 1 starter, but if he's not, it won't be for lack of effort. |

Link to story Chiefs | Patrick Mahomes uncertain for workouts Sat May 2, 05:53 PM
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes (knee) is making progress in his recovery but head coach Andy Reid said he is not sure if Mahomes will be able to participate when offseason workouts begin.
| Footballguys view: The Chiefs are going to be wisely cautious as the best quarterback in the game returns from this knee injury. There is currently some uncertainty in this situation, but that's going to clear up as training camp gets here later in the summer. If he does get work in minicamp and OTAs, Mahomes should be quite limited even though Reid said, "You just have to evaluate what you want to do there. But he's in a position where he can do everything, I think." |

Seahawks | Bigger role for Jalen Milroe? Fri May 1, 04:13 PM
Seattle Seahawks QB Jalen Milroe's dual-threat ability is a skill the Seahawks 'hope to utilize' more next season, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Milroe failed to make a splash in his first camp, but the 2025 third round pick was expected to be a long term project. He was one of the best pure runners, including running backs, in last year's draft, so hopefully we can see some of that in small doses as the game slows down for Milroe. |
Eagles | Cole Payton signs rookie deal Fri May 1, 04:13 PM
Philadelphia Eagles fifth-round draft choice QB Cole Payton signed a four-year contract with the Eagles Thursday, April 30. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Payton is a top end athlete, but not very advanced as a processor in the pocket. He has played a few snaps as a tight end and would be one of the most athletic tight ends in the league if he converted. Jalen Hurts is a free agent in 2028 and the team doesn't appear to have plans to extend his contract right now, so Payton is a good late round pick in dynasty superflex drafts. |

Link to story Steelers | Drew Allar needs footwork refined Thu Apr 30, 11:19 AM
Pittsburgh Steelers third-round pick QB Drew Allar will need to have his footwork refined by head coach Mike McCarthy, according to sources. 'He's really got a good feel for what that takes,' a team source said of McCarthy's touch in this area.
| Footballguys view: Allar is a skilled quarterback who has obvious flaws to his game. Last year, a broken left ankle prematurely ended his final season at Penn State. He can avoid sacks and pressure with his legs, but Allar needs to be more mechanically sound when throwing on the run. Allar will benefit from better footwork when asked to be a pocket passer as well. He'll compete with Will Howard to establish a pecking order with the Steelers...until Aaron Rodgers shows up and rejoins the team. |
Cardinals | Carson Beck's experience a plus Thu Apr 30, 11:19 AM
Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Beck's experience in 'big-game environments' was one of the reasons the Cardinals drafted him, according to general manager Monti Ossenfort. 'I think when you see a player who has had big-game experience, when you make this transition to the NFL, there's more hope that it's not going to be too big for them, right?' Ossenfort said.
| Footballguys view: Beck has six years of college experience, with most of his time spent at Georgia. He finished his college career at Miami, and Beck has played some good football over the last few years. He'll get to learn and develop in a Cardinals' QB room that has Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew on the roster. |

Panthers | Carolina picks up Bryce Young's option Wed Apr 29, 01:37 PM
Carolina Panthers QB Bryce Young had his fifth-year option exercised Wednesday, April 29.
| Footballguys view: General manager Dan Morgan said on January 13 that the Panthers would pick up Young's option. The paperwork was filed on Wednesday and keeps him on the roster through the 2027 season. Young's coming off a career season, setting new highs in passing yards (3,011), touchdowns (23), and completion percentage (63.6). He also had six of his 12 game-winning drives in the fourth quarter or overtime last year, the most of any quarterback in the league since 2023, when he entered the league. But until he becomes a more consistent producer, Young remains a low-end QB2 in fantasy. |

Browns | Deshaun Watson on the inside track Wed Apr 29, 11:47 AM
Cleveland Browns QB Deshaun Watson emerged from voluntary minicamp last week with an edge over QB Shedeur Sanders in the starting quarterback competition, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: One year after calling the trade for Watson a "big swing-and-miss," Browns owner Jimmy Haslam said in March that Watson has a "great chance" and a "fresh start" with offensive-minded first-year coach Todd Monken. According to Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot, Monken hopes to declare -- or at least identify -- his starter by the end of Browns minicamp (June 11). Shedeur Sanders has time to close the gap with a former three-time Pro Bowler. But as things stand now, Watson is the most likely candidate to be atop the depth chart heading into training camp. |

Broncos | Bo Nix on schedule after ankle check-in Wed Apr 29, 12:30 AM
Denver Broncos QB Bo Nix had a follow-up, cleanup procedure on his fractured right ankle last week. The 26-year-old broke it in the Broncos' divisional-round victory over Buffalo, and is 'firmly on track to be ready for the start of training camp,' according to the report.
| Footballguys view: Nix fractured his right ankle near the end of the Broncos' divisional round playoff victory over the Bills. Before his Jan. 20 surgery, Nix called his injury a "simple fracture" that would require only a 4-6 week recovery. He did not mention a necessary follow-up procedure, and team owner Greg Penner said in March that the Broncos were confident Nix would participate in organized team activities as the quarterback was ahead of schedule in his rehab. Now, the timeline is training camp as the Broncos will be "conservative" with his participation in the offseason program. We'll be watching for more. |

| Footballguys view: As reported here on Monday, Pavia was previously invited to participate in the Ravens' rookie minicamp on a tryout basis. The Ravens also agreed to sign UDFA quarterback Joe Fagnano out of UConn earlier on Tuesday. That gives the club a pair of young QBs behind starter Lamar Jackson and backup Tyler Huntley. |
Steelers | Aaron Rodgers tagged with rare tender Tue Apr 28, 10:46 AM
Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Steelers) received a right-of-first-refusal tender Tuesday, April 28, which means he can accept a 10% raise off last year's salary, which would pay him about $15 million this season. It also means the Steelers can match any offer he signs with another team, and forbidding him the ability to sign with another team once training camp begins.
| Footballguys view: Rodgers, who spent the 2025 season with the Steelers after a prolonged offseason courtship, has been weighing his options for the upcoming season over the past three months. GM Omar Khan and coach Mike McCarthy indicated last week that there isn't a timeline or a deadline to hear from the 42-year-old quarterback. The Steelers selected QB Drew Allar in the third round of the NFL draft, but McCarthy said the move was unrelated to Rodgers' decision. But today's move is directly related. Essentially, Rodgers is locked in with the Steelers for when he decides if he wants to play. |

Rams | Ty Simpson had private meetings with Sean McVay Tue Apr 28, 10:41 AM
Los Angeles Rams first-round pick QB Ty Simpson said he had private meetings with head coach Sean McVay before they selected him in the first round of the NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: "They wanted to make it private and didn't want people to know that they were interested," Simpson said Monday via ESPN's Sarah Barshop. "I was trying to be on script and do what everybody told me and not to tell anybody." Telling the QB not to say anything about meeting with McVay makes sense. It also adds further context to McVay's body language immediately after the pick, which made it seem as if the coach wasn't on board with selecting Simpson 13th overall. All of this looks increasingly like an effort to be respectful of current starter Matthew Stafford. |
Steelers | Former coach thinks Aaron Rodgers returns Mon Apr 27, 09:14 AM
Free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Steelers) returning to the Pittsburgh Steelers is the most-likely scenario, according to former head coach Mike Tomlin.
| Footballguys view: If Rodgers plays, it will presumably be for the Steelers. For now, there's been no public announcement about his future. While recent reporting suggested Rodgers would have a decision before last week's NFL Draft, that obviously wasn't the case -- at least not one for public consumption. That said, believing the Steelers have a better understanding of the veteran QB's plan than they're letting on isn't a reach. Meanwhile, the Steelers made it clear that the decision to use a third-round pick on former Penn State quarterback Drew Allar has no bearing on Rodgers. We'll continue to watch for more. |

Ravens | Heisman finalist Diego Pavia invited to minicamp Mon Apr 27, 12:03 AM
Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia, who was not selected in the 2026 NFL Draft, accepted an invitation to next weekend's rookie minicamp with the Baltimore Ravens, according to a source on Sunday, April 26. He is the first Heisman finalist since 2014 to go unpicked in the NFL Draft.
| Footballguys view: Pavia went undrafted and did not receive a contract as a rookie free agent on the open market. As Proofootballtlk.com noted, Pavia has a history of creating controversy, which likely contributed to him going undrafted over the weekend. But he was also a Heisman Trophy finalist in 2025, and a four-year starter across two programs. In his Pre-Draft 100, Footballguy Sigmund Bloom notes that Pavia's competitive nature and athleticism could open the door to a variation on Taysom Hill as a way to contribute in the NFL. |

University of Kansas QB Jalon Daniels is signing an undrafted free agent contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and he is expected to receive a $247,000 base salary guarantee and $25,000 signing bonus, a source said Saturday, April 25.
| Footballguys view: Daniels is on the short side at 6'0" and he has been an inconsistent turnover machine, but he does have a great arm and the running ability to be a dual threat quarterback, which matters a lot in fantasy football. Jake Browning is the Bucs current backup quarterback, so Daniels doesn't have to be that good to win the backup job. He could be on a similar career path to Tyrod Taylor or Josh Johnson. |
Panthers | Haynes King lands deal with Carolina Sun Apr 26, 05:24 PM
Georgia Tech QB Haynes King is signing an undrafted free agent deal with the Carolina Panthers, and he will receive $250,000 guaranteed money, a source said Saturday, April 25.
| Footballguys view: King is only able to make rudimentary reads with consistency, but he has the size (6'2" 212) and overall athleticism (including a 4.46 40 and 6.89 three cone) to be a strong running threat, or potential wide receiver convert if he can't cut it at quarterback. The big bonus is a sign that the Panthers like Haynes, and he only has to overcome Kenny Pickett to back up Bryce Young. Superflex dynasty league players should take note. |
