TE Darren Waller comes out of retirement, headed to Miami
Giants receive late-round draft pick
By: Mike Krueger | Jul 1 2025, 11:21 am
|
Trade: Dolphins are trading a conditional 2026 sixth to the New York Giants for a 2027 seventh-round pick and Darren Waller.
Waller is coming out of retirement after agreeing to a one-year deal with the Dolphins worth up to $5 million, per Drew Rosenhaus and Robert Bailey. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: The Giants still held the rights to Waller which is why a trade was necessary. The Dolphins had a void at the position after trading Jonnu Smith to the Steelers yesterday. Waller (32) had his best season in 2020 and has battled to stay on the field ever since. He'll hold some weekly TE2 value when healthy, but will be the fourth target on the offense behind Achane, Hill and Waddle.

PIT adds Jalen Ramsey, Jonnu Smith in trade with MIA
Dolphins receive Minkah Fitzpatrick
By: Mike Krueger | Jun 30 2025, 11:46 am
|
The Miami Dolphins have traded three-time All-Pro cornerback Jalen Ramsey and tight end Jonnu Smith to the Pittsburgh Steelers in exchange for three-time All-Pro safety Minkah Fitzpatrick and a pick swap, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Monday. As part of the trade, the Dolphins are sending a 2027 seventh-round pick to the Steelers and will receive a 2027 fifth-round pick back from Pittsburgh. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: The Steelers are loading up the season for a one=year run with Aaron Rodgers at quarterback. Jonnu (88-884-8) is coming off his best season as a pro that saw him finish as the TE4 in Half-PPR leagues. The Steelers were in need of another playmaker on offense after trading WR George Pickens to the Cowboys. OC Arthur Smith is familiar with Jonnu from their time in Altanta. This moves puts a damper on TE Pat Freiermuth's upside in Pittsburgh.

K Justin Tucker gets 10-game suspension
Violating he NFL's personal conduct policy
By: Mike Krueger | Jun 26 2025, 3:32 pm
|
Former Ravens kicker Justin Tucker has been suspended without pay for the first 10 weeks of the 2025 season for violations of the NFL's personal conduct policy, the NFL announced Thursday.
Tucker will be eligible for reinstatement on Tuesday, Nov. 11. (Jamison Hensley on X)
FFToday's Take: Tucker was released by the Ravens in May after he was accused of sexual misconduct by numerous physical therapists earlier in the year. If no team signs him, he can serve his suspension as a free agent. Baltimore drafted K Tyler Loop in Round 6 of this year's draft.

Denver adds J.K. Dobbins to running back room
Dobbins and Harvey expected to lead rushing attack
By: Mike Krueger | Jun 10 2025, 3:36 pm
|
Former Chargers RB JK Dobbins is signing a one-year deal with Denver, per source. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Schefter went on to say: "Denver now is expected to rely heavily on two running backs new to its offense: Veteran J.K. Dobbins & Rookie RJ Harvey." Dobbins has dealt with significant injuries during his career but this move leaves Audric Estime and Jaleel McLaughlin on the outside looking in for touches during the 2025 season.

Nick Chubb signs one-year deal with Houston
Maximum value of $5 million
By: Mike Krueger | Jun 9 2025, 6:06 pm
|
#Texans deal for four-time Pro Bowl running back Nick Chubb has maximum value of $5 million, per a league source @KPRC2. Passed physical and good to go for defending AFC South champions (Aaron Wilson on X)
FFToday's Take: The deal is said to be for $2.5 million with a max of $5 million. Chubb will be insurance in case starter Joe Mixon goes down with an injury. Chubb has dealt with serious injuries each of the last two seasons and doesn't hold much fantasy value unless Mixon were to miss significant time.

Steelers finally get their QB: Aaron Rodgers
Expected to be at minicamp next week
By: Mike Krueger | Jun 5 2025, 3:12 pm
|
Renegade A-Rod: Four-time NFL MVP Aaron Rodgers informed the #Steelers he’ll fly to Pittsburgh on Friday and sign before next week’s minicamp, sources tell The Insiders.
Finally, a done deal: Rodgers, 41, will play his 21st NFL season in black and gold. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: We've been operating under the assumption that Rodgers would sign with the Steelers and here we are. His fantasy prospects aren't great, especially given Arthur Smith is the OC and Rogers lack of mobility, but his presence should be enough to keep DK Metcalf in the WR2 range.

More shoulder issues for Anthony Richardson
Expected to be back during training camp
By: Mike Krueger | Jun 5 2025, 12:51 pm
|
Colts HC Shane Steichen said QB Anthony Richardson is dealing with a shoulder injury and will not participate in mini-camp next week. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Here we go again. Reportedly, Richardson had some aggravation to his right shoulder last week - the same shoulder he's had an issue with in the past. This will set him back in open QB competition with Daniel Jones. Jones has the current advantage while Richardson's fantasy stock is on the decline.

Derek Carr decides to retire from the NFL
Shoulder injury
By: Mike Krueger | May 10 2025, 10:43 am
|
Derek Carr has announced his retirement. In late March, while ramping up his preparation for the 2025 season, Derek experienced pain in his right shoulder. Eventually, medical scans determined objectively that Derek sustained a labral tear and also had significant degenerative changes to his rotator cuff. Upon consultation with his wife, Heather, Derek has decided it is in the best interests of both his family and the Saints organization to retire from the National Football League. (New Orleans Saints on X)
FFToday's Take: Carr (34) was more than likely going to miss the 2025 season if he decided on surgery to fix his shoulder. Instead, he decides to call it a career and pass the torch to Spencer Rattler, Jake Haener or rookie Tyler Shough to lead the Saints at quarterback. Haener and Rattler didn't exactly light the world on fire last season, both completed well below 60 percent of their passes. Expect Shough to have a good shot a starting Week 1.

Jonathon Brooks will miss the 2025 season
Placed on PUP list
By: Mike Krueger | May 8 2025, 12:58 pm
|
Panthers placed RB Jonathon Brooks on the physically unable to perform list, meaning he now will be out for the 2025 season. Brooks tore his ACL during Week 14 last season. By being placed on PUP now, Brooks will be given time to get healthy after his second ACL tear in as many years. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Brooks managed to play just three games last season before tearing his ACL again. Brooks is obviously off the redraft radar for the upcoming season and dynasty owners will have to wait until 2026 for any production from the Carolina RB. The Panthers currently have Chuba Hubbard, Rico Dowdle and rookie Trevor Etienne in their running back room.

Jaguars release veteran WR Gabe Davis
Played 10 games in Jacksonville last season
By: Mike Krueger | May 7 2025, 9:40 am
|
The Jacksonville Jaguars have released WR Gabe Davis, the team announced today. (JaguarsPR on X)
FFToday's Take: Jacksonville signed Davis last off-season to a three-year deal which had $11 million guaranteed still remaining. Davis never get on track with Jaguars, posting a 20-239-2 line in 10 games last season. He's off the fantasy radar for now while Jacksonville moves forward with Brian Thomas Jr. and rookie Travis Hunter at the position.

Steelers Send George Pickens to Cowboys
Steelers receive 2026 3rd-round pick
By: Mike Krueger | May 7 2025, 9:28 am
|
Cowboys now say they have agreed to terms to acquire WR George Pickens and a 2027 6th-round pick from the Steelers in exchange for a 2026 3rd-round pick and a 2027 5th-round pick. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: During the draft, Jerry Jones mentioned he was working on a significant trade and here we are. The Cowboys were in need of a second receiver behind CeeDee Lamb while the Steelers acquired DK Metcalf during the off-season. This move will be a good fantasy boost for Dak Prescott along with Pickens and Metcalf.

Ravens release K Justin Tucker
Drafted K Tyler Loop in 6th round
By: Mike Krueger | May 5 2025, 4:58 pm
|
Ravens released kicker Justin Tucker. After drafting kicker Tyler Loop, the organization continues to insist it is a “football decision.” (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: It's true that Tucker (35) is coming off his worst field goal performance of his career, making just 73.3% of his attempts, far below the 86% average in the NFL last season. However, being accused of inappropriate behavior with females this off-season likely impacted the decision as well. The Ravens will move forward with Tyler Loop as their kicker who they drafted in the 6th round.

Diontae Johnson finds a home in Cleveland
One-year deal
By: Mike Krueger | Apr 28 2025, 6:33 pm
|
The #Browns are signing veteran WR Diontae Johnson, sources say. Cleveland brought the former #Steelers and #Ravens pass catcher in for a visit today, and the sides then agreed to a deal. Back to the AFC North for Johnson. (Mike Garafolo on X)
FFToday's Take: Johnson bounced around numerous teams last season including Carolina, Baltimore and Houston. The Browns are somewhat thin at the position with only Jerry Jeudy locked in as a proven starter. There's a chance Elijah Moore could return to the mix but he is technically a free agent. Johnson has a path to playing time in Cleveland for the time being.

Titans add veteran WR Tyler Lockett
One-year deal
By: Mike Krueger | Apr 23 2025, 11:44 pm
|
Former #Seahawks legend Tyler Lockett is signing with the #Titans on a 1-year, $4M deal with a chance to get to $6M. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: Lockett (32) was released by Seattle this off-season and now joins a Titans club expected to have rookie Cam Ward at quarterback and currently very little in the receiver room outside of Calvin Ridley. Lockett's days of a solid fantasy WR2 are over but could have some weekly value assuming he's able to maintain a spot in the starting lineup.

No restrictions for Christian McCaffrey
Missed 13 games in 2024
By: Mike Krueger | Apr 22 2025, 4:46 pm
|
Christian McCaffrey just spoke to reporters. He said he's feeling good and has no health-related restrictions after a 2024 season in which he missed eight games with Achilles tendonitis and another five with a knee injury. He said the attendance today was impressive. (Matt Barrows on X)
FFToday's Take: McCaffrey was limited to just four games last season and failed to score a touchdown after having Achilles' issues during training camp. He's expected to participate in on-field activities once the 49ers begin practice.

Cardinals make big investment in TE Trey McBride
Under contract with Arizona through the 2029 season
By: Mike Krueger | Apr 3 2025, 4:41 pm
|
Trey McBride agreed to a four-year extension, with $43 million guaranteed, agents Mike Swenson, CJ LaBoy and Doug Hendrickson told ESPN's Adam Schefter. McBride, who's coming off his first Pro Bowl season, will now be under contract with Arizona through the 2029 season. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: McBride has finished as the TE3 and TE10 the last two seasons in Half-PPR leagues despite low TD numbers (2,3). His 147 targets last season was second only to Brock Bowers. A spike in touchdowns could easily make McBride the No.1 overall fantasy tight end in 2025.

Patriots land WR Stefon Diggs
$26 million guaranteed
By: Mike Krueger | Mar 25 2025, 7:16 pm
|
Four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Stefon Diggs and the New England Patriots reached an agreement Tuesday on a three-year, $69 million deal that includes $26 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: Diggs (31) missed most of last season after suffering an ACL injury in Week 8. Assuming Diggs is ready to start Week 1, the Patriots will have a legitimate number 1 wideout, something they've been lacking the last few years. Given his age and recent injury, he'll likely command WR2 value is redraft leagues this summer.

Giants sign Russell Wilson to one-year deal
Expected to be the starter over Jameis Winston
By: Mike Krueger | Mar 25 2025, 6:51 pm
|
The New York Giants reached agreement with Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson on a one-year deal worth up to $21 million, including $10.5 million guaranteed, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter on Tuesday. Wilson is returning as the Giants' projected starting quarterback.
(ESPN)
FFToday's Take: The Giants already signed Jameis Winston a few days ago but all signs point to Wilson being the starter. Wilson struggled to maintain fantasy relevance in Pittsburgh last season, ranking as the QB15 on a weekly basis in half-ppr leagues. This move isn't helping the value of wideout Malik Nabers although Nabers did manage a low-end WR1 season with subpar quarterback play. The Giants have the 3rd pick in the upcoming draft and still need to address their long-term quarterback problem.

Saints bring back WR Brandin Cooks
New Orleans adds depth to wide receiver room
By: Mike Krueger | Mar 21 2025, 1:55 pm
|
Reunion: Veteran WR Brandin Cooks is signing with the #Saints, sources tell The Insiders. Back with the team that drafted him. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: The Saints suffered multiple injuries to their receiving corps last season which eventually left Marquez Valdes-Scantling as their top wideout. Cooks (31) will give the team some much needed depth even if he doesn't have the speed he once had, but won't be on the fantasy radar unless Chris Olave and/or Rashid Shaheed miss time.

Bengals extend both Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins
Chase gets $112 million guaranteed
By: Mike Krueger | Mar 16 2025, 10:53 pm
|
BREAKING: #Bengals WRs Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins exclusively tell me they’ve agreed to contract extensions with the team.
Ja'Marr gets: 4-years, $161M with $112M guaranteed - making him the highest-paid non-QB in NFL history.
Tee gets: 4-years, $115M with the first two years guaranteed - making him the highest paid WR2 in NFL history. (Jordan Schultz on X)
FFToday's Take: We knew Chase wasn't going anywhere but there was always some question whether Cincinnati would be able to keep Higgins as well. In the end, both will be fixtures in the offense for the next few years. Higgins has battled injuries the last two seasons missing 10 games total during that time but has been one of the better WR2s when he's on the field.

Cooper Kupp headed to Seattle, three-year deal
Seahawks reshape their wide receiver room
By: Mike Krueger | Mar 14 2025, 6:27 pm
|
Homecoming: Former #Rams WR Cooper Kupp is signing with the NFC West rival #Seahawks, sources tell The Insiders.
A Yakima native and Eastern Washington alum, Kupp now heads to Seattle, where he’ll get to face his old team twice this season. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: Kupp (32) will be a big part of new look Seahawks team that will be missing Geno Smith, DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. Kupp should find himself in the starting lineup opposite Jaxon Smith-Njigba with Sam Darnold at quarterback. Kupp hasn't played a full season since 2021 and finished as the WR25 last season in half PPR scoring with the bulk of his production coming prior to Week 12.

Broncos land TE Evan Engram, two-year deal
$16.5 million fully guaranteed
By: Mike Krueger | Mar 12 2025, 4:28 pm
|
Broncos are signing Evan Engram to a two-year deal worth $23 million deal, including $16.5 million fully guaranteed at signing. Denver has been seeking TE help in recent seasons and now finally has found some. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: The tight end position was basically non-existent for the Broncos last season. Lucas Krull led the team with 19 receptions. Engram was limited to nine games last season with Jacksonville due to injury, but should be able to achieve mid-range TE2 fantasy value in Denver without too much trouble provided he stays healthy.

Ravens land DeAndre Hopkins on one-year deal
Hopkins will be 33 before the season begins
By: Mike Krueger | Mar 11 2025, 7:05 pm
|
Sources: Five-time Pro-Bowl WR DeAndre Hopkins reached agreement today on a one-year, $5 million deal that could get up to $6 million with the Baltimore Ravens. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Hopkins (32) was a part time player for the Chiefs during the latter half of the 2024 season playing less than half the snaps. His fantasy impact is likely to be spotty on a team that will feature Derrick Henry, Zay Flowers and two tight ends. He'll be a late-round depth piece to your fantasy roster in 2025.

Open QB competition in Indianapolis?
Colts sign Daniel Jones to one-year deal
By: Mike Krueger | Mar 11 2025, 12:11 pm
|
The #Colts are now preparing for an open quarterback competition between Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson, who is healthy and has no plans to seek a trade, his agent Deiric Jackson told me.
Said Jackson: “AR will be ready to roll.” (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: The Colts signed Jones to a one-year deal today worth $14 million. Richardson was benched last season for Joe Flacco and has struggled with his mechanics and accuracy as a passer. Richardson has the legs to be a quality QB1 in fantasy but his value is on shaky ground headed into the 2025 season.

Najee Harris signs one-year deal with Chargers
Max value $9.5 million
By: Mike Krueger | Mar 10 2025, 9:18 pm
|
Former #Steelers RB Najee Harris is signing with the #Chargers for 1-year, max value $9.5M, multiple sources tell @NFLonFOX.
Harris eclipsed 1,000 yards rushing in each of his first four seasons. A new weapon for Justin Herbert. (Jordan Schultz on X)
FFToday's Take: Najee has topped 1000 yards in each of his first four seasons in the league and now becomes the top option in the Chargers backfield with J.K. Dobbins yet to re-sign and Gus Edwards released. There's some fantasy upside here depending on who the Chargers add to the running back room via free agency or the draft.

|
|
RB Javonte Williams signs one-year deal with Dallas
$3 million
By: Mike Krueger | Mar 10 2025, 7:15 pm
|
Former #Broncos RB Javonte Williams is signing a one-year, $3 million deal with the #Cowboys, per sources. Max $3.5M with incentives. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: Given that Rico Dowdle is an unrestricted free agent, Williams becomes the leader in the clubhouse for carries in Dallas in 2025. Although, it's likely that Dowdle or another running back is signed in free agency. Williams was part of three-headed committee in Denver last season, finishing 43rd in fantasy points per game.

Jets sign QB Justin Fields, two-year deal
$30M guaranteed
By: Mike Krueger | Mar 10 2025, 2:39 pm
|
The #Jets are signing QB Justin Fields, per me and
@TomPelissero, as Gang Green gets a new starter. Fields says goodbye to Pittsburgh after 1 year.
He gets a 2-year deal worth $40M with $30M guaranteed in a deal done by @DavidMulughetaof @AthletesFirst. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: The Jets have parted ways with Aaron Rodgers after two years and will try their luck with Fields who lost his job as the starter with Steelers last season to Russell Wilson. The Jets have viable weapons at running back (Breece Hall) and receiver (Garrett Wilson) and Fields is capable of providing fantasy points with his legs. He'll be a viable QB2 assuming he lands the starting gig in 2025.

Sam Darnold signs three-year deal with Seattle
$55 million guaranteed
By: Mike Krueger | Mar 10 2025, 2:22 pm
|
ESPN sources: Former Vikings QB Sam Darnold reached agreement today on a three-year, $110.5 million contract including $55 million guaranteed with the Seattle Seahakws. Seattle has its successor to Geno Smith. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Seattle recently shipped Geno Smith off to the Raiders in return for a third round pick. Now they bring in Darnold who is coming off his season a pro (4319-35-12, 212-1). They only problem is, he won't have Kevin O'Connell orchestrating the offense and Justin Jefferson catching passes. Darnold will be working with Jaxson Smith-Njigba and... well... some other others wide receivers to be named later.

Chiefs add Elijah Mitchell to running back room
One-year deal
By: Mike Krueger | Mar 10 2025, 12:24 pm
|
Sources: The #Chiefs are signing RB Elijah Mitchell worth up to $3.5M. (Jordan Schultz on X)
FFToday's Take: After three years in the league, Mitchell has yet to top 11 games played in any season, missing time last year with a hamstring injury. Isiah Pacheco missed most of last season with a fractured fibula and never regained form when he returned. Mitchell is at best a depth piece for the Chiefs and a late-round flier in fantasy drafts.

Chris Godwin staying with Bucs, three-year deal
$45 million guaranteed
By: Mike Krueger | Mar 10 2025, 12:12 pm
|
Back to the #Bucs: Star WR Chris Godwin returns to Tampa, sources say, taking less money to stay with Baker Mayfield, Mike Evans and the rest of the gang.
He gets a 3-year, $66M deal with $45 guaranteed in a deal done by Tory Dandy of CAA. And he left a ton on the table. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: Godwin was limited to 7 games last season (50-576-5) due to ankle injury but is expected to be ready for Week 1. His new deal puts a damper on Jalen McMillian's ceiling but Godwin should have no trouble maintaining his WR2 value as long as he remains healthy.

Davante Adams headed to the LA Rams
Two-year deal, $26 million guaranteed
By: Mike Krueger | Mar 9 2025, 6:54 pm
|
Six-time Pro-Bowl WR Davante Adams is signing a two-year deal with the Los Angeles Rams, per source.
Adams arrives at a time the Rams are preparing to move on from standout WR Cooper Kupp. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: The Rams are expected to move on from Cooper Kupp (31) and in his place install a slightly older Adams (32) who finished as the WR13 last season in FPTs per game (half-ppr). It was rumored that Adams wanted to play with a west coast team, making the landing spot ideal. Give the status of Puka Nacua in the WR room, Adams could see a slight dip in production in 2025 but should hold WR value with the Rams.

Vikings re-sign RB Aaron Jones, two-year deal
$13 million guaranteed
By: Mike Krueger | Mar 9 2025, 4:48 pm
|
Minnesota is getting back its back: Aaron Jones is re-signing with the Vikings on a two-year, $20 million deal that includes $13 million guaranteed, per sources. The deal was negotiated by Drew Rosenhaus. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Jones (30), finished as the RB16 last season in total Half-PPR points but was slightly less valuable (RB20) on a weekly basis. He should once again be the lead back for the Vikings with a slight risk of fewer touches given his age.

Xavier Worthy arrested on felony domestic violence charge
Chiefs could have two WRs suspended in 2025
By: Mike Krueger | Mar 8 2025, 10:58 am
|
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy was arrested Friday night in Williamson County, Texas, on a charge of assault of a family or house member and impeding the breathing or circulation. The Chiefs said they were aware of Worthy's arrest and gathering information.
In Texas, impeding as family member's breathing or circulation is a third-degree felony and punishable by two to 10 years in prison and a $10,000 fine. (ESPN)
FFToday's Take: The Chiefs are likely to be dealing with a suspension of Rashee Rice in 2025 due to his involvement in a multi-car wreck back in March of 2024. Who knows what kind of punishment Worthy will get from the league, but it's possible the Chiefs could be without their top two receivers for a portion of the upcoming season.

Geno Smith traded to the Raiders for a 3rd round pick
Smith has one year remaining on current deal
By: Mike Krueger | Mar 7 2025, 6:56 pm
|
Blockbuster: The #Seahawks are trading two-time Pro Bowl QB Geno Smith to the #Raiders for a 2025 third-round pick, sources tell The Insiders.
It’s a reunion for Pete Carroll and Smith, who also is expected to get a new contract. And Seattle will need a new QB. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: Geno (34) has one year ($31 million) remaining on his current deal. Presumably a step up from the riff raff the Raiders have dealing with a quarterback the last few years, Geno is likely a bridge until the Raiders find a young QB in the couple of drafts. The Seahawks are now in need of a starter and could turn to free agent Sam Darnold. They have already cut WR Tyler Lockett and are looking to trade WR DK Metcalf.

Jaguars release TE Evan Engram
Jacksonville saves $6 million against the cap
By: Mike Krueger | Mar 6 2025, 5:48 pm
|
The Jaguars have released TE Evan Engram, per a league source. (Michael DiRocco on X)
FFToday's Take: Another cost-cutting move by the Jaguars who clear $6 million in cap space with this transaction. The team is reshaping their receiving corps with Engram (30 years old) and Christian Kirk now departing. Engram managed to play in just 9 games last season after turning his best season as a pro back in 2023 (114-963-4). Brenton Strange is now in the driver's seat to be the starting TE in Jacksonville for 2025.

Jaguars trade Christian Kirk to Texans
Jacksonville gets 2026 7th round pick
By: Mike Krueger | Mar 6 2025, 4:16 pm
|
The Houston Texans are finalizing a trade to acquire Jaguars WR Christian Kirk, per sources. While the Jaguars were planning on cutting Christian Kirk, they now will get back a 2026 seventh round pick from the Texans, per source. (Dianna Russini on X)
FFToday's Take: The Jags were set to release Kirk but found a trade partner instead. Houston will most likely be without Tank Dell in 2025 as he recovers from a bad knee injury suffered in late December of 2024. Kirk will likely step into a starting slot role and it remains to be seen if they bring back Stefon Diggs to work on the outside. Kirk will be on the late-round wide receiver list in redraft leagues this Summer.

Seahawks open to trading WR DK Metcalf
Receiver has one year left on current contract
By: Mike Krueger | Mar 5 2025, 1:12 pm
|
Two-time Pro Bowl WR DK Metcalf has requested a trade and the #Seahawks have agreed to explore options, sources tell me and
@RapSheet.
Days before free agency, the 27-year-old Metcalf immediately becomes the top receiver available. (Tom Pelissero on X)
FFToday's Take: Metcalf likely wasn't happy with his role last season which saw him slip behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba as the team's No.1 wideout. He still has one year left on his current deal and reportedly would like re-negotiate a longer deal with whatever team he lands with. With the release of Tyler Lockett, the Seahawks will be revamping key pieces to their wide receiver room in 2025.

Jaguars expected to release WR Christian Kirk
Jaguars save over $10.4 million against the cap
By: Mike Krueger | Mar 5 2025, 12:47 pm
|
Jaguars plan to release veteran WR Christian Kirk, per source. Releasing Christian Kirk will save the Jaguars over $10.4 million against the cap. Kirk now will become a free agent in an increasingly crowded WR market. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: Kirk was limited to eight games last season after suffering a broken collarbone in late October. At 28 years old, he still has some value in the league and could be a nice fantasy asset depending on his landing spot. Brian Thomas Jr. has taken over the lead wideout role in Jacksonville.

Seahawks release veteran WR Tyler Lockett
Due $17 million in 2025
By: Mike Krueger | Mar 5 2025, 12:37 pm
|
Seahawks are releasing an all-time franchise great, wide receiver Tyler Lockett, who piled up 8,594 receiving yards and 61 touchdowns across 10 seasons in Seattle. The Seahawks are opting to release Lockett rather than pay him his $17 million salary for this season, including a $5.3 million roster bonus due March 16. (Adam Schefter on X)
FFToday's Take: This move was expected as Jaxon Smith-Njigba took over the No.1 receiving role for the Seahawks last season. Lockett is 32 years old and will likely have to settle if a reduced role for whatever teams he lands with in 2025. Perhaps reuniting with HC Pete Carrol in Las Vegas?

Raiders expected to release QB Gardner Minshew
Has $3.16 million in fully guaranteed money left on deal
By: Mike Krueger | Mar 5 2025, 10:29 am
|
The #Raiders informed QB Gardner Minshew they’ll release him when the new league year begins next Wednesday, per sources.
Minshew has 46 career starts and is still only 28 years old. An experienced option available. Minshew has $3.16 million in fully guaranteed money left on the two-year, $25M deal he signed with Las Vegas last March. But another new #Raiders regime is going another direction at QB.

FFToday's Take: Minshew played in 10 games last season as the Raiders waffled between him and Aidan O'Connell with predictable mediocrity. Minshew is best served as a backup in the league and holds very little fantasy value even when he does make a start.
