Marcus Major RB | BAL
Ravens' Marcus Major: Officially a Raven
Major signed with the Ravens as an undrafted free agent Monday, Glenn Erby of USA Today reports.
The running back never exceeded 78 carries in any of his six collegiate seasons with Oklahoma and Minnesota. In 2024 with latter university, he finished with 352 rushing yards and three rushing scores to go with 20 catches for 144 yards and a touchdown. Baltimore's top two backs, Derrick Henry and Justice Hill, were big contributors to the team's elite offense in 2024, though there should be roster spots available behind them.

Tyrion Davis-Price RB | GB
Tyrion Davis-Price: Cut by Philadelphia
The Eagles waived Davis-Price on Saturday.
Davis-Price was a third-round selection of the 49ers in the 2022 NFL Draft. He hooked on with the Eagles last season and got into one game, rushing three times for seven yards. Philadelphia signed Davis-Price to a reserve/future contract this February, but he's now been let go to make room on the roster for undrafted free agent signee Giles Jackson.

Jerome Ford RB | CLE
Browns' Jerome Ford: Accepts pay cut
Ford (ankle) agreed to terms Friday on a salary reduction from $3.49 million to a guaranteed $1.75 million for the 2025 season, Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com reports.
Ford's salary reduction follows the Browns' selection of second-round running back Quinshon Judkins at No. 33 overall in April's draft, in addition to running back Dylan Sampson in the fourth round. Per Kabot, had Ford not agreed to a pay cut he would have been a trade candidate, and Cleveland may have re-signed free agent Nick Chubb (foot). With Ford's spot on the roster now essentially guaranteed, the door appears closed for Chubb to reunite with the Browns, barring damage to the team's depth. Zac Jackson and Lauren Smith of The Athletic report that Ford currently retains his hold on the top spot on the depth chart, but his pay cut is a clear indication the role will be up for grabs if Judkins logs a more impressive offseason.

Rhamondre Stevenson RB | NE
Patriots' Rhamondre Stevenson: Added competition for carries
Stevenson will have added competition for backfield touches following the Patriots' selection of TreVeyon Henderson in the second round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Chad Graff and Lauren Smith of The Athletic report.
Per Graff, in the wake of the draft, Stevenson, Henderson and Antonio Gibson are poised to lead the team's RB corps this coming season, with Terrell Jennings and reported UDFA signing Lan Larison in the depth mix. Stevenson is coming off a 2024 season in which he recorded 207 carries for 801 yards and seven TDs to go along with 33 catches (on 41 targets) for 168 yards and another score in 15 games. Ball security was an issue for Stevenson in that span, however, with the 2021 fourth-rounder racking up seven fumbles after recording just one (in 12 contests) in 2023. That's an issue Stevenson will no doubt focus on improving, but in any case, the addition of the dynamic Henderson seems destined to cut into his workload this season. A committee approach featuring the bruising Stevenson and the speedy Henderson, with Gibson also sprinkled in, appears the most likely outcome, a looming scenario that is on track to impact Stevenson's volume in 2025.

Malik Davis RB | DAL
Malik Davis: Departs Dallas
The Cowboys waived Davis on Wednesday.
The Florida product signed a reserve/future contract with the Cowboys in early January after spending the entire 2024 season on the team's practice squad. However, it now appears Dallas has decided to move in another direction. Davis last appeared in an NFL regular-season game in 2023, playing 45 special-teams snaps across three contests.

Emanuel Wilson RB | GB
Packers' Emanuel Wilson: Re-signs with Packers
Wilson signed his exclusive rights free-agent tender with the Packers on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Wilson carried the ball 103 times for 502 yards and four touchdowns in addition to catching 11 passes for 48 yards and one touchdown last season with Green Bay. The 25-year-old will compete with MarShawn Lloyd (hamstring) for backup touches behind Josh Jacobs in 2025.

J.K. Dobbins RB | DEN
J.K. Dobbins: Receives UFA tender
The Chargers applied the unrestricted free-agent tender to Dobbins on Tuesday, Howard Balzer of USA Today reports.
Los Angeles' application of the scarcely used UFA tender means that Dobbins will will count toward the NFL compensatory draft pick formula if he signs with another club prior to July 21 or the first scheduled day of training camp, whichever is the later date. If Dobbins doesn't ink a deal before that deadline, the Chargers will receive exclusive negotiating rights with him. The 26-year-old impressed with a 195-905-9 rushing line across 13 regular-season appearances in 2024, but the Bolts have since invested a first-round pick in rookie Omarion Hampton and signed Najee Harris to a one-year contract.

Chris Evans RB | CIN
Chris Evans: Will attend Broncos rookie camp
Evans will participate in Denver's rookie minicamp on a tryout basis, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Pelissero mentions that Evans has recovered after missing the entire 2024 season due to a ruptured patella tendon. Prior to the injury, Evans appeared in 34 regular-season games for the Bengals after being selected in the sixth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. His contributions in Cincinnati came mostly on kickoff returns and as a pass catcher out the backfield.

Sincere McCormick RB | DEN
Raiders' Sincere McCormick: In mix for depth role behind rookie
McCormick is expected to compete for a depth role behind rookie sixth overall pick Ashton Jeanty, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
McCormick has presumably recovered from the ankle injury that landed him on injured reserve to finish the 2024 season. Prior to getting hurt, McCormick filled in capably as a starter, rushing for 64 yards in Week 13 and 78 yards in Week 14. The 24-year-old running back likely will slide down a couple pegs on the depth chart following the additions of Jeanty in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft and veteran Raheem Mostert in free agency. McCormick may be competing for a roster spot with Zamir White, who was sidelined by a quadriceps injury to finish the 2024 season.

Zamir White RB | LV
Raiders' Zamir White: In mix behind star rookie
White is expected to compete for a depth role behind rookie sixth overall pick Ashton Jeanty, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.
Jeanty's expected to take on a workhorse role out of the gate, and free-agent signing Raheem Mostert is better suited to playing in pass-catching situations than White, who has just 21 catches through three NFL seasons. White has presumably recovered from the quadriceps injury that sidelined him after Week 11 in 2024, but he's unlikely to meaningfully challenge Jeanty for early-down work considering White averaged just 2.8 yards per carry in 2024. Sincere McCormick (ankle), Dylan Laube and Chris Collier also will compete for roles in Vegas' backfield.
