  • Mike Evans WR | SF

    Buccaneers' Mike Evans: Not expected to retire

    Evans isn't likely to retire this offseason, according to ESPN's Jenna Laine.

    Laine notes that fellow Bucs legend Lavonte David said he'll either re-sign with the team or retire, whereas Evans is considered more likely to continue his NFL career. The implication seems to be that Evans is willing to play for another team if he can't reach terms with Tampa Bay before hitting free agency in March. He'll turn 33 in August after finishing 2025 with career lows in numerous categories, including games played (eight), catch rate (48.4 percent) and yards per game (48.4).

  • Giants' Courtney Jackson: Signs with Giants

    The Giants signed Jackson to a reserve/future contract Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Jackson spent the 2025 season on Seattle's practice squad after joining the team in late August. Though the undrafted rookie did not see regular-season action in 2025, he showed promise as a punt returner towards the end of his college career at Arkansas. The 24-year-old will participate in New York's offseason activities and could see a role on special teams should he find a spot on the active roster in 2026.

  • Terry McLaurin WR | WAS

    Commanders' Terry McLaurin: Headed for more volume in 2026?

    New Commanders offensive coordinator David Blough wants McLaurin to get "10 targets a game," according to UWSA9's John Doran.

    "This thing's going to be built around how do we get [McLaurin] 10 targets a game," said Blough. "And get [McLaurin] explosive receptions after explosive receptions to kind of flip the field." It sounds promising from a fantasy standpoint, but McLaurin has reached eight targets per game just once in his seven NFL seasons (8.9 in 2020). He finished 2025 with career lows for games played (10), targets per game (6.0) and yards per game (58.2), among other statistics, though he also averaged 9.7 YPT and had a career-high 61.7 percent success rate on targets. There's a strong enough bounce-back argument for 2026, even if the volume mentioned by Blough is unrealistic.

  • Stefon Diggs WR | NE

    Patriots' Stefon Diggs: Pleads not guilty

    Diggs pleaded not guilty Friday to criminal charges stemming from an alleged dispute Dec. 2 with his personal chef, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Diggs' attorney said the wide receiver "categorically denies" the allegations, which include a charge of felony strangulation. Diggs' arraignment was postponed until after the Super Bowl to allow him to play in the game. Following his Friday arraignment, Diggs is next scheduled to appear April 1 for a pretrial hearing.

  • Seahawks' Ricky White: Sticking with Seattle

    White signed a reserve/future contract with the Seahawks on Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    The wide receiver appeared in two regular-season games for Seattle in 2025, playing on 13 offensive snaps and nine special-teams snaps. He did not record a catch. White was a seventh-round pick of the team in 2025.

  • Seahawks' Montorie Foster: Staying with champs

    Foster signed a reserve/future contract with the Seahawks on Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    The wide receiver signed to the Seahawks' practice squad in late December but never appeared in a game. Now, he'll try to make it to the team's offseason program and compete for a roster spot.

  • Tyrone Broden WR | SEA

    Seahawks' Tyrone Broden: Sticking with Seattle

    Broden (undisclosed) signed a reserve/future contract with the Seahawks on Thursday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

    The wide receiver ended the season on the practice squad injured list, but he appears to be healthy again. Broden spent time on Seattle's practice squad during the 2025 campaign but did not appear in a game.

  • Jacob Cowing WR | SF

    49ers' Jacob Cowing: Doesn't play in 2025

    Cowing was unable to take the field during the 2025 season due to a hamstring injury.

    Cowing, a 2024 fourth-round pick from Arizona, was placed on the injured reserve list in late August and missed San Francisco's entire campaign. The 25-year-old returned to full practice and nearly rejoined the 49ers' active roster for their playoff run but ultimately was unable to do so. Under contract through 2027, Cowing likely will have the opportunity to compete for a depth-role in San Francisco's wide-receiver room ahead of next season.

  • Dareke Young WR | LV

    Seahawks' Dareke Young: Career year in 2025

    Young caught two of three targets for 48 yards and tallied 322 kick-return yards across nine regular-season games in 2025.

    The fourth-year pro from Lenoir-Rhyne set career highs in receiving yards and kick-return yards while tying his best reception total, all while appearing in just nine regular-season contests. Young also operated as one of the Seahawks' top special teamers, logging 156 snaps and tallying nine total tackles during the regular season. Set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, Young could draw interest from teams seeking special-teams help ahead of next season.

  • Britain Covey WR | PHI

    Eagles' Britain Covey: Limited offensive work in 2025

    Covey caught two of four targets for 20 yards across six regular-season games in 2025. Additionally, he tallied 125 kick-return yards and 124 punt-return yards.

    Covey spent most of his 2025 campaign with Philadelphia's practice squad before joining the active roster ahead of Week 13. He was primarily limited to special teams, outside of the Eagles' Week 18 loss to the Commanders, when he caught two passes for 20 yards while playing 35 offensive snaps. The Utah product also did not log an offensive snap in the wild-card loss to the 49ers but tallied 61 kick-return yards. Set to enter unrestricted free agency, Covey could find work as a return specialist ahead of the 2026 season.
