Seahawks | Cam Akers let go Mon Apr 27, 03:06 PM
Seattle Seahawks RB Cam Akers was released Monday, April 27.
| Footballguys view: Akers, a former second-round pick of the Rams, joined the Seahawks last season and appeared in three regular-season games, as well as Seattle's NFC championship game win over the Rams. With Akers no longer on the team, the Seahawks have six running backs on the roster: Returning players Zach Charbonnet, George Holani, Kenny McIntosh, Jacardia Wright; free-agent addition Emanuel Wilson, and first-round pick Jadarian Price. Charbonnet is recovering from a torn ACL and isn't expected back until well into the regular season. |

Link to story Cowboys | George Pickens has not signed yet Mon Apr 27, 01:12 PM
Dallas Cowboys franchise free-agent WR George Pickens has not signed his tender offer at this point.
| Footballguys view: ESPN.com's Todd Archer added in the replies to his initial post that the news isn't that Pickens is refusing to sign, just that he hasn't yet. Once he does, Pickens will make a guaranteed $27.3 million this season, and he will report to the mandatory minicamp in June and training camp or be subject to fines. It also opens up the possibility of Pickens being traded, although the Cowboys say that won't happen. For now, as The Sporting News suggests, this is a situation where the timeline is wonky, but the outcome may still be fine. Stay tuned for more. |
Vikings | Jordan Addison's option picked up Mon Apr 27, 01:09 PM
Minnesota Vikings WR Jordan Addison had his fifth-year option picked up Monday, April 27.
| Footballguys view: Addison is now set to make $18 million guaranteed in the final year of his rookie deal. The No. 23 overall pick of the 2023 draft, Addison has been productive in each of his three seasons, playing alongside one of the league's top receivers in Justin Jefferson. In 2025, Addison caught 42 passes for 610 yards with three touchdowns in 14 games. Over the course of his three seasons, Addison has 175 receptions for 2,396 yards with 22 touchdowns. While he's best viewed as a fantasy WR4, having Kyler Murray as his QB could push Addison closer to WR3 territory. |

Link to story 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. |

49ers | Brandon Aiyuk remains on trade block Mon Apr 27, 12:37 AM
San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk was not traded during the 2026 NFL Draft, but general manager John Lynch still hopes to move the receiver. 'No new update right now,' Lynch said regarding Aiyuk on Saturday during his post-draft news conference, per team transcript. 'We're available. Give us a call. And like I said earlier, I think it's the prudent thing to do. He's an extremely talented player. He's been an extremely effective player in our league; situation didn't work itself out here.'
| Footballguys view: Aiyuk has been destined for a San Francisco exit for months now after the team placed him on the reserve/left squad list in December. Lynch acknowledged in January that it was "safe to say" Aiyuk had played his last down as a Niner, but they seem intent on getting something in return. "Not anytime soon," Lynch said when asked if he was planning on releasing Aiyuk. It's in the team's best interest to be patient and see what kind of offers come as the season draws nearer. |

Cardinals | Tre Wallace headed to Arizona Mon Apr 27, 12:30 AM
Ole Miss WR Tre Wallace has signed as an undrafted free agent with the Arizona Cardinals. He receives a $40,000 signing bonus, and he will have a guaranteed salary of $247,500.
| Footballguys view: According to the Footballguys 2026 Rookie Draft Guide, Wallace is an experienced receiver best suited to a supporting role in the intermediate and deep areas of the field. He has performed in big moments and shown a willingness to work over the middle of the field. But Wallace is best suited for a supporting role down an NFL depth chart. |
Ravens | Adam Randall personally picked by owner Mon Apr 27, 12:27 AM
Baltimore Ravens RB Adam Randall, selected at No. 174 overall in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, was personally selected by team owner Steve Bisciotti. 'When we were down in Florida, Steve was begging for a draft pick and he owns the team. I said, 'Yes, Steve, of course you can have a draft pick,'' general manager Eric DeCosta said. 'So we decided on our last fifth-round pick. He did his research and studied the tape, talked to people. He has a really good relationship with the Clemson head coach [Dabo Swinney].'
| Footballguys view: Randall is an intriguing prospect as a converted wide receiver. He's an imposing physical presence at 6-3, 232 pounds. He has elite athleticism with a 4.5-second 40-yard dash at his size. In his first year as a starter last season, Randall posted 814 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns and caught 36 passes for 254 yards and another three scores. He also offers additional positional value as a kickoff returner who averaged 23.2 yards on 13 attempts. With Derrick Henry entering his year-32 season, adding a potential RB of the future makes sense -- even if the process was odd. |
Browns | Aaron Anderson finds home in Cleveland Mon Apr 27, 12:26 AM
LSU WR Aaron Anderson signed with the Cleveland Browns as an undrafted free agent.
| Footballguys view: According to the Footballguys 2026 Rookie Draft Guide, Anderson combines a strong, compact frame with quick-twitch ability as a slot receiver capable of extending to the vertical passing game. As the NFL has trended toward passes closer to the line of scrimmage, Anderson's ceiling outcome makes him a potential fantasy contributor. His landing spot, however, isn't great. The Browns selected wideouts KC Concepcion (with the 24th pick overall on Thursday) and Denzel Boston (in Round 2 on Friday). In addition, Jerry Jeudy heads the list of holdovers at the position. |
Lions | Miles Kitselman now a Lion Mon Apr 27, 12:23 AM
Tennessee TE Miles Kitselman signed with the Detroit Lions as an undrafted free agent.
| Footballguys view: According to the Footballguys 2026 Rookie Draft Guide, Kitselman will be more useful for the Lions than for a fantasy team, and his limitations as a receiver will keep him low on depth charts until he improves his route-running ability. NFL.com's Lance Zierlein concurs, noting Kitselman "could find work as a TE3/4." |
Raiders | Vegas brings in Chase Roberts Mon Apr 27, 12:18 AM
BYU WR Chase Roberts signed with the Las Vegas Raiders as an undrafted free agent.
| Footballguys view: Roberts was one of the older receivers in the class and one of the most productive players in BYU history. He finished his career with 2,600 receiving yards, which ranks seventh on the school's all-time list. Roberts has great size and reliable hands. He prides himself on toughness and fits the mold of a big slot who can fill a possession role. Roberts will try to make a connection with Fernando Mendoza, the number one pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. |
Steelers | Chamon Metayer lands in Pittsburgh Mon Apr 27, 12:11 AM
Arizona State TE Chamon Metayer signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers as an undrafted free agent.
| Footballguys view: The 6-4, 255-pound Metayer has a good frame and displays natural movement skills at his size. But as the Footballguys 2026 Rookie Draft Guide suggests, he's more of a receiver than a tight end and will need to refine his route-running and run-blocking to earn playing time. |
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 unrafted 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. |

Bears | Coleman Bennett signed Sun Apr 26, 05:24 PM
Kennesaw State RB Coleman Bennett signed with the Chicago Bears as an undrafted free agent Saturday, April 25, according to a league source.
| Footballguys view: The Bears didn't draft a running back even though D'Andre Swift's contract expires after this season, so we'll be monitoring Bennett to see if he beats out Roschon Johnson, Brittain Brown, and Deion Hankins to make the team as the third running back behind Swift and Kyle Monangai. Bennett is a versatile, efficient back with tackle-breaking ability, but average athleticism and a limited small school pedigree. |
Packers | RJ Maryland will be a Packer Sun Apr 26, 05:24 PM
SMU TE RJ Maryland is signing as an undrafted free agent with the Green Bay Packers, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Maryland is a linear athlete, but he ran a 4.51 at 6'4" 236 and looks like a wide receiver tracking and catching the ball downfield. He was coming off of a 2024 ACL tear last year, so there could be hidden upside to this wide receiver/tight end tweener - an archetype that has produced unlikely fantasy football hits in the past. |
Cowboys | Michael Trigg headed for Metroplex Sun Apr 26, 05:24 PM
Baylor TE Michael Trigg is signing as an undrafted free agent with the Dallas Cowboys, a source said Saturday, April 25.
| Footballguys view: Trigg has all of the requisite passcatching and athletic talent to matter in fantasy football if he can ever earn a shot to play on Sundays. His lack of maturity and numerous off-field incidents made him fall out of the draft, but the Cowboys are a great organization for a malcontent to find his game - just ask George Pickens. Trigg's high ceiling is worth selecting in the late rounds of rookie drafts, and will be an easy drop that opens up a spot to take a shot on another young talent if he doesn't make the practice squad. |
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. |
Buccaneers | Jalon Daniels headed for Tampa Bay Sun Apr 26, 05:24 PM
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. |
Chiefs | Jadyn Ott lands UDFA deal with Kansas City Sun Apr 26, 05:24 PM
Oklahoma RB Jaydn Ott, an undrafted free agent, is signing with the Kansas City Chiefs, a source said Saturday, April 25. DeMarco Murray, a former Sooners standout, and running backs coach from 2020-25, is the current Chiefs RB coach, so he gets his guy.
| Footballguys view: Chiefs fifth round pick Emmett Johnson Jr. is a very good running back in the Kareem Hunt mold, but Ott looked like one of the best backs in this class during his first two college seasons, only to get hurt and fall off of the map at the end of the last two. That his running back coach is on the Chiefs staff and vouched for means that we should be monitoring the news out of Kansas City about their rookie backs very closely. |

Free-agent WR Jermaine Burton (Bengals), a former third-round draft pick in 2024 by the Cincinnati Bengals, will take part in the Buffalo Bills' rookie minicamp on a tryout basis, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: We know Burton can play - he was roasting corners in the SEC at Georgia and Alabama in college - but what we don't know is whether he can be disciplined enough to make it in the NFL. The team that drafted him gave us their answer, but a fresh start back at square one could be just the clean slate Burton needs to turn his career around. |
