Patriots | New England acquires A.J. Brown Mon Jun 1, 04:30 PM
Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown was acquired by the New England Patriots Monday, June 1, in exchange for a 2028 first-round draft choice and a 2027 fifth-round draft choice, according to sources.
| Footballguys view: The trade, which has been discussed and anticipated across the NFL for months, reunites Brown and Patriots head coach Mike Vrabel. Brown, who turns 29 on June 30, gives Patriots quarterback Drake Maye a No. 1 target as part of a revamped top of the receiver depth chart alongside free agent signing Romeo Doubs. Brown's current WR13 ADP seemingly takes this trade into account. But working alongside Maye, it's not a reach to believe Brown can deliver WR1 production. |

Jaguars | Coach happy with Brian Thomas Jr. Mon Jun 1, 03:50 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr. has been impressive during voluntary workouts and has been doing well during team meetings, according to head coach Liam Coen.
Link to story Giants | NYG, JuJu Smith-Schuster agree to deal Mon Jun 1, 01:51 PM
Free-agent WR JuJu Smith-Schuster (Chiefs) agreed to terms with the New York Giants Monday, June 1, according to sources. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: As SBNation's Ed Valentine noted, the Giants worked out four wide receivers Monday morning. The only one not signed -- so far -- has been former Chicago Bears first-round pick Anthony Miller. Smith-Schuster is a nine-year veteran who spent three of the last four seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, where Giants offensive coordinator Matt Nagy was on the coaching staff. Smith-Schuster, 29, caught 33 passes in 17 games last season. He caught 78 passes for 933 yards for the Chiefs in 2022. Smith-Schuster joins Odell Beckham Jr. and Braxton Berrios as newcomers to the team's receivers room. |

Jets | Omar Cooper agrees to deal Mon Jun 1, 01:48 PM
New York Jets first-round draft choice WR Omar Cooper Jr. agreed to terms on a four-year contract with the Jets Monday, June 1, worth $17.5 million, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: According to the Footballguys 2026 Rookie Guide, Cooper is a tough receiver over the middle and a threat after the catch in the short game. But as Sigmund Bloom suggests, Cooper isn't going to be the starting "X" in New York; he isn't suited for that role. He isn't displacing Garrett Wilson as the starting "Z". Kenyon Sadiq is going to get a lot of the snaps that a slot receiver would as a second tight end. Where exactly does Cooper fit in that can make him fantasy-relevant? It could be a slow rookie season for the former Indiana star. |

Link to story Giants | NYG sign Odell Beckham Mon Jun 1, 01:02 PM
Free-agent WR Odell Beckham Jr. (Dolphins) signed with the New York Giants Monday, June 1. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: The Giants' receiving corps has been hit hard by injuries, with Darius Slayton recovering from hernia surgery and Malik Nabers' ongoing recovery from ACL and meniscus surgery. Beckham was a 2014 first-round pick and was named the Offensive Rookie of the Year after catching 91 passes during his first NFL season. He's also played for the Browns, Rams, Ravens, and Dolphins, but sat out all of last season. Beckham played for Giants coach John Harbaugh with Baltimore in 2023. We'll see if Beckham can carve out a role sufficient to make him fantasy relevant. A wait-and-see approach is recommended. |

Giants | Braxton Berrios signs with Giants Mon Jun 1, 11:41 AM
Free-agent WR Braxton Berrios (Texans) agreed to a one-year deal with the New York Giants Monday, June 1. Financial terms weren't disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Berrios, 30, is a natural fit for the role vacated by the injury to Gunner Olszewski, who suffered a torn Achilles tendon last week. Berrios has made his name as a special teams ace since entering the NFL in 2018 with the New England Patriots. He only has 140 receptions for 1,360 yards and 6 touchdowns since 2019, but has been an excellent returner. He has 100 punt returns, averaging 11.3 yards per return, as well as 91 kick returns with an average of 24.9 yards per return. |

Link to story Bills | DJ Moore still learning offense Mon Jun 1, 12:18 AM
Buffalo Bills WR DJ Moore said he still dealing with some 'growing pains' as he adjusts to the Buffalo offense, but he expects to be in 'great shape' as the offseason progresses. 'I mean, it's gonna be perfect later on,' Moore said.
| Footballguys view: The Bills acquired Moore in a trade with the Bears in March, and he's had his first chance to work with quarterback Josh Allen over the last few weeks. And even though their connection and Moore's overall fit in the Buffalo offense are still coming together, the outlook is optimistic. "It's going good," Moore said. "I mean, it's gonna be perfect later on, but right now it's still growing pains." Allen had positive things to say this month about how Moore is acclimating to life with the Bills, who will be banking on a fully integrated Moore come the fall. |

Giants | Odell Beckham Jr. still in play for Giants Mon Jun 1, 12:16 AM
Free-agent WR Odell Beckham Jr. (Dolphins) has a 'real chance' to sign with the New York Giants, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: Earlier this month, Giants coach John Harbaugh left the door open for a potential Beckham signing, with a caveat. "It's got to be right for both parties," Harbaugh said. As Profootballtalk.com suggested, the biggest question is where he'd land on the depth chart. Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton, and Calvin Austin III are the expected starters. The team's anticipated use of Beckham will also determine the contract he'd be offered. Both sides need to be on the same page about Beckham's role. It won't be what it was from 2014 through 2018. |

49ers | No suitors for Brandon Aiyuk Mon Jun 1, 12:15 AM
San Francisco 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk seems unlikely to be traded, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com.
| Footballguys view: The 49ers have made it clear they would rather trade Aiyuk than release him, but finding a deal for the disgruntled wide receiver amid his puzzling behavior is proving difficult. "I talked to two rival executives who believe that he's simply untradeable right now," ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported. The 49ers still can create $20 million in salary-cap space by releasing Aiyyk after June 1 if a trade partner isn't found. And as of right now, that is the most likely outcome. |

Dolphins | Malik Washington must emerge at receiver Mon Jun 1, 12:08 AM
Miami Dolphins WR Malik Washington has been praised for his ability to learn and execute the offense, and he has seemingly grasped the new playbook faster than any of his teammates. He has emerged as a favorite target of new QB Malik Willis, but he still needs to step out of the slot and into a split end or flanker role to see the field more consistently.
| Footballguys view: At this time last year, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle were Miami's top receivers. Now, with both gone, there's a question about who will step up. The most likely candidates are Washington, former Cowboy Jalen Tolbert, and ex-Rams speedster Tutu Atwell. None of the trio has ever hit the 615-yard mark in a single season. Last year, they combined for 712 yards, and Washington led the way with a career-high 317 yards. While rookies Caleb Douglas and Chris Bell are also in the picture, we expect the veterans -- led by Washington -- to be the primary weapons. |
Jaguars | Parker Washington looking sharp Sun May 31, 03:03 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Parker Washington has 'looked dynamic as he ever has' during OTAs, according to John Shipley of SI.com.
| Footballguys view: It doesn't look like the Jaguars are going to trade Brian Thomas Jr. this offseason, and they have said that the plan for Travis Hunter to play on both sides of the ball has not changed, so the pass offense appears to be crowded. Washington was able to rise above late last season and in the wild card loss to the Bills. He hasn't slowed down and the team is talking about cross-training him for inside/outside versatility. He could be the best "buy high" player in dynasty leagues right now. |

Giants | Malik Nabers shows off full range of motion Sun May 31, 02:54 PM
New York Giants WR Malik Nabers (knee) participated in LB Brian Burns' celebrity softball game on Saturday night, and he took part in all scheduled activities, from dodgeball to the home run derby to the game itself. He was seen backpedaling in the dodgeball game, and he was showing off a full range of motion. However, he still didn't show if he can start, stop or cut as his position requires, so it was just a glimpse of where he is at. Head coach John Harbaugh recently said the receiver is still working through rehab, and he is uncertain if Nabers will be ready for the start of training camp.
| Footballguys view: Nabers didn't look too hobbled, but he didn't look like he was entirely comfortable either. It's still very unlikely he'll be ready for training camp, and nothing about this news item should change his uncertain status for Week 1. |

Cardinals | Devin Duvernay wants to be more than specialist Sun May 31, 02:25 PM
Arizona Cardinals WR Devin Duvernay will continue to return kicks and punts, as he enters his seventh season in the NFL, but he also wants to be more than just a one-dimensional player. 'Finding a role on offense, earning the trust of my teammates, my coaches is definitely the goal, but I plan on doing all of that, helping any way I can, being the ultimate team player,' Duvernay said.

Saints | Chris Olave bulks up Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave gained 10 pounds of muscle ahead of OTAs.
| Footballguys view: We'll withhold any opinion whether this is a good or bad thing until we see if it affects Olave's elite route running. Reports from OTAs had him separating in practice with his typical effortless style, so chances are this is a good thing for the Saints #1 receiver, who should get a market level extension before the beginning of the season. |
Jaguars | More deep balls for Brian Thomas Jr.? Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars WR Brian Thomas Jr.'s chemistry with QB Trevor Lawrence in the deep passing game has been a focus this offseason, according to head coach Liam Coen. 'Our average depth of target went up towards the second half of the season, but we've got to keep pushing that envelope a little bit - especially with him and BT, that connection,' Coen said.
| Footballguys view: Thomas should be the main deep target in the Jaguars offense, but he, Jakobi Meyers, and Parker Washington are all going to play large roles, and their fantasy values will be determined by how well they execute and riff with Trevor Lawrence. Washington dominated in OTAs, so Thomas still has work to do to justify his ADP being ahead of the hottest Jaguars receiver at the end of the season. |
Titans | Calvin Ridley on field Friday Sat May 30, 05:32 PM
Tennessee Titans WR Calvin Ridley participated in the voluntary workout Friday, May 29, but was limited to individual drills.
| Footballguys view: Carnell Tate stole the show at OTAs and looked like the clear #1 receiver. He and Cam Ward appear to have an instant connection. Ridley is being paid like a starter and he is worth a late round pick in drafts, but Tate has all of the momentum in the Titans passing game right now. |

Link to story Jets | Garrett Wilson feeling good Sat May 30, 03:40 PM
New York Jets WR Garrett Wilson said the recovery from his knee injury was longer than he expected but that he feels great now.
| Footballguys view: Wilson will have a chance to start hot with Geno Smith at quarterback, but if the Jets turn to fourth round rookie Cade Klubnik after the season is lost, then Wilson's value could evaporate. His ADP is lower than it was last year, but has not fallen to the lowly level that his 2025 lost campaign would dictate. |

Bears | Coach high on Luther Burden Sat May 30, 01:22 PM
Chicago Bears WR Luther Burden III has been performing well during offseason workouts and has been working on learning new routes, according to head coach Ben Johnson.
| Footballguys view: Burden is going to be close to a full-time player after DJ Moore got dealt to Buffalo. He'll occupy the slot and get some of the high percentage targets that turned Amon-Ra St. Brown into a star under Johnson in Detroit. Whether to take Burden, tight end Colston Loveland, or Rome Odunze first in drafts is not an easy call, but this early buzz makes it easier to pick Burden. |
Rams | Puka Nacua not concerned about extension Sat May 30, 11:41 AM
Los Angeles Rams WR Puka Nacua said that he 'hasn't really thought' about an extension with the club, even though he is eligible to receive one. He is entering the final season of his rookie contract and could command a deal similar to the four-year, $168.6 million extension given to Seattle Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba in March, which made him the highest-paid receiver in NFL history.
| Footballguys view: The Rams might be hesitant to give Nacua that large of a contract after he checked into rehab for a period of weeks this offseason following some regrettable moments in public. They can also put clauses in any new contract to protect themselves if Nacua's off-field behavior is a problem again. There's no reason to think that Nacua won't pick up where he left off and earn the long term investment from the Rams, but we will be monitoring the reports out of camp and the preseason. |

Saints | Jordyn Tyson limited Thursday Thu May 28, 05:54 PM
New Orleans Saints WR Jordyn Tyson did not participate in seven-on-seven drills during the voluntary workout Thursday, May 28. The Saints plan to have him more involved in upcoming workouts with the hope that he is a full participant when training camp begins.
| Footballguys view: As USA Today noted, injury concerns were the biggest red flag on Tyson's college scouting report; he played through a hamstring issue last season that lingered into the pre-draft process, and the Saints are managing him carefully. Taking it slowly and not rushing him into full reps before his body is ready for it in May just makes sense. We'll monitor and report back as needed. |

Texans | Tank Dell works on side Thu May 28, 04:28 PM
Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (knee) worked on a side field during the voluntary workout Thursday, May 28.
| Footballguys view: Dell dislocated his knee cap and tore his ACL, MCL, and LCL while catching a touchdown pass against the Kansas City Chiefs two seasons ago. Dell underwent a pair of surgeries and has made significant progress, but he's still not ready to practice. The Texans are taking a patient, big-picture approach with Dell. He has been running routes and cutting for months, but not at full speed. The hope is that he can ramp up his participation by training camp and regain his old dynamic form. There are no guarantees, but it's great to see him making progress. |

Chiefs | Xavier Worthy wearing a non-contact jersey at OTAs Thu May 28, 03:18 PM
Kansas City Chiefs WR Xavier Worthy was seen wearing a non-contact jersey at the team's OTAs on Thursday, May 28. No injury was disclosed for the reason of wearing the jersey.
| Footballguys view: According to the Kansas City star, Worthy underwent offseason shoulder surgery to repair a torn labrum in his left shoulder. He finished with 42 receptions for 532 yards and one touchdown in 2025, his second season in the NFL. The Star's Blair Kerkhoff reports that Worthy still managed to flash on some highlight receptions from Patrick Mahomes, also in a non-contact jersey in his return from a torn ACL, during Thursday's 7-on-7 drills. |
Bears | Ben Johnson offers high praise of Luther Burden III Thu May 28, 02:28 PM
Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson told reporters on Thursday, May 28, 'I'm buying Luther Burden stock right now.'
| Footballguys view: As NFL.com's Bobby Kownack suggested, if fantasy investors wanted some insider trading tips in May, we just got it. Burden, the 39th-overall pick by Chicago in the 2025 NFL Draft, was impactful as a rookie but took time to get going -- both due to still getting acclimated and working behind Rome Odunze and DJ Moore. Burden finished with 47 receptions, 652 yards, and two touchdowns thanks to a strong five-game finish. With Moore traded to Buffalo, it's easy to project great things for Burden, but when the coach/playcaller joins the chorus, the hype level skyrockets. |
Eagles | A.J. Brown trade not close Thu May 28, 10:29 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR A.J. Brown is not close to being traded as the team is seeking a first-round pick in return, and teams aren't willing to meet the price.
| Footballguys view: While we're all hoping for a quick resolution post-June 1, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network said on Wednesday night that the Patriots and Eagles may still be haggling over the trade terms. "I just don't know that it's going to be like 'snap your fingers, and the deal is done,'" Rapoport said. "They're not particularly close, and there's a chance this could drag on for the foreseeable future." Still, as Profootballtalk.com notes, just because the two sides haven't agreed on compensation at this point does not mean a deal won't go through next week. Stay tuned. |

It's also worth noting that Chargers HC Jim Harbaugh told reporters that Quentin Johnston, Tre Harris, and McConkey have all looked elite. We'll see how much work all three get, but consider McConkey the top option here. |
Patriots | No Kayshon Boutte Wednesday Wed May 27, 02:08 PM
New England Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte did not participate in the voluntary workout Wednesday, May 27.
| Footballguys view: It's unclear why Boutte isn't there, but it's not new. The sixth-round pick in the 2023 draft hasn't been taking part in voluntary sessions to date. Boutte, entering the final year of his rookie deal at a base salary of $3.674 million, is eligible for a new contract. He might be withholding services in hopes of getting a new deal. It's also fair to wonder if talk of acquiring Eagles WR A.J. Brown is a factor. Boutte has never had more than 589 receiving yards in any of his three NFL seasons. We'll continue to monitor. |

Miami Dolphins WR Chris Bell (knee) will be able to do some running during offseason workouts but there is no timetable for his return to the lineup, according to head coach Jeff Hafley.
| Footballguys view: As Footballguy Sigmund Bloom noted, Bell fell a little farther than some expected, but he landed in the perfect spot. The Dolphins are in rebuilding mode and won't rush him back from his 2025 ACL tear. When Bell is ready to play, his strengths as a runaway train on crossing patterns and a big ball winner on the outside fit with Malik Willis's strengths. Once he's ready, Bell will compete with Malik Washington, Jalen Tolbert, and Tutu Atwell, along with rookies Caleb Douglas and Kevin Coleman, for playing time. Bell is an eventual WR1 candidate for Miami. |
Ravens | Rashod Bateman remains absent Wed May 27, 01:39 PM
Baltimore Ravens WR Rashod Bateman was not present for the voluntary workout Wednesday, May 27.
| Footballguys view: Bateman has been an off-and-on participant in the voluntary program. It's not clear why he's out today, but with a revamped and new coaching staff, schemes, and plays, his absences are noteworthy. Bateman is coming off the worst season of his career, and the team added two big-bodied receivers in April's NFL Draft. Ja'Kobi Lane was selected out of USC in the third round, and Indiana's Elijah Sarratt was added later in the fourth. Again, these are voluntary sessions. We'll monitor this and report back as needed. |
