  • Bills' Joshua Palmer: Agrees to three-year deal in Buffalo

    Palmer agreed Monday to a three-year contract with the Bills, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    The initial report has it as a three-year, $36 million deal with half the money guaranteed. A 2021 third-round pick, Palmer never had more than 769 receiving yards or four TDs in a season for the Chargers, but he capably handled different roles under three offensive coordinators. In 2022, he had a 72-769-3 line on 107 targets at an 8.7 aDOT. In 2024, he had a 39-584-1 line on 65 targets at a 15.2 aDOT. The Bills need a downfield presence more so than another possession receiver, but it's nonetheless tough to predict exactly how they'll use Palmer, apart from the size of his contract suggesting he's expected to be a starter and play a lot of snaps. Then again, the same thing was said when they signed Curtis Samuel to a three-year, $24 million deal last offseason. Palmer at least is much younger than Samuel, turning 26 in September, and there's been no indication that Palmer's foot injury from late in the 2024 campaign will be an issue for 2025.

  • Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Unable to live up to expectations

    Palmer (foot) logged 39 catches (on 65 targets) for 584 yards and one touchdown across 15 regular-season appearances with the Chargers in 2024.

    Palmer entered the 2024 campaign seemingly staring down tremendous opportunity with the Chargers having moved on from wideouts Keenan Allen and Mike Williams, but he ultimately took a backseat to both 2024 second-rounder Ladd McConkey and 2023 first-round pick Quentin Johnston. Despite suiting up for five more games in 2024, Palmer's production remained similar to the 38-581-2 receiving line he put up across 10 appearances in 2023. After missing Los Angeles' regular-season finale and wild-card round loss to the Texans, Palmer will now work to fully recover from his foot injury in time for the start of free agency.

  • Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Won't play Saturday

    Palmer (foot) has been ruled out for Saturday's wild-card round game against the Texans.

    Palmer, who was unable to practice this week, thus will target a potential return to action in the divisional round of the playoffs, should the Chargers advance. In Palmer's absence, wideouts DJ Chark and Derius Davis are candidates to see added snaps alongside Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston (thigh/illness), provided Johnston is available after being deemed questionable for Saturday's contest.

  • Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Still not practicing

    Palmer (foot) wasn't spotted at practice Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Palmer was listed as a non-participant Tuesday as well, so what the wideout is able to do Thursday will be critical in determining his chances of playing in Saturday's playoff opener against the Texans. If Palmer -- who was inactive for the Chargers' Week 18 win over the Raiders -- remains out this weekend, DJ Chark and Derius Davis would be in line to see added snaps alongside fellow wideouts Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston (thigh/illness).

  • Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Set to miss practice

    Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said Palmer (foot) isn't in line to practice Tuesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    After exiting the Chargers' Week 17 win over the Patriots with a foot injury, Palmer didn't practice in any fashion last week before sitting out a 34-20 win over the Raiders in the regular-season finale, and he's yet to take any tangible steps forward in his recovery as the Chargers begin prepping for Saturday's wild-card game in Houston. In Palmer's absence in Week 18, DJ Chark stepped in as the Chargers' No. 3 wideout and finished with a six-yard touchdown reception across three targets.

  • Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Ruled out for Sunday

    Palmer (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's regular season finale against the Raiders.

    Palmer didn't practice this week and will target a potential return to action in next weekend's playoff opener against an opponent to be determined. In his absence Sunday, DJ Chark and Derius Davis are candidates to log added snaps behind top wideout options Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston.

  • Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Sidelined for practice again

    Palmer (foot) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice.

    Palmer has been a spectator for both of the Chargers' first two Week 18 practices, so he'll likely need to take part in Friday's session in some fashion in order to avoid a designation for Sunday's regular-season finale in Las Vegas. If Palmer is sidelined for Week 18, DJ Chark and Derius Davis could both be in store for expanded roles at receiver.

  • Chargers' Joshua Palmer: Not practicing

    Palmer (heel) didn't practice Wednesday, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.

    Palmer left Saturday's 40-7 win over New England in the third quarter and was spotted in a walking boot after the game. It's not yet clear how aggressive the Chargers will or won't be this Sunday against the Raiders; they know they'll be either the fifth or sixth seed in the AFC, with hope for moving up to fifth if Pittsburgh loses to Cincinnati on Saturday. It's unclear, in any case, if Palmer will be healthy enough to play this weekend.
