Cephus is in line to sign with the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Cephus, who spent five years with UTSA, is coming off a 2023 campaign in which he recorded a school-record 1,151 receiving yards with 10 touchdowns on 89 catches in 13 games en route to earning first-team All-American Athletic Conference honors, per Greg Luca of the San Antonio Express-News. With Jacksonville, the 6-foot-2, 189-pounder has plenty of competition for a roster spot, but Cephus could potentially land a depth role or practice squad slot with a strong training camp/offseason.

Rosemy-Jacksaint is in line to sign with the Commanders as an undrafted free agent, according to Greg Auman of Fox Sports.

This past season, his fourth with Georgia, Rosemy-Jacksaint caught 34 passes for 535 yards and four TDs in 13 games. With Washington, the 6-foot-1, 195-pounder is slated to have an opportunity to compete for a depth role behind top returning WR options Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson.

Cephus reached an agreement with the Bills on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Cephus is attempting to revive his NFL career after he was suspended all of last season for violating the league's gambling policy. The 26-year-old wide receiver played in 13 games with Detroit during his 2020 rookie campaign, totaling 20 receptions for 349 yards and two touchdowns, but he participated in just nine contests in the subsequent two years, compiling 17 catches for 219 yards and two scores. Cephus will have a chance to compete for a roster spot among a Buffalo wide-receiver corps that will look much different from last season with the offseason departures of Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis.

Griffin signed with the Raiders as an undrafted free agent Saturday.

"Tulu" stands at 5-foot-10 and 181 pounds and ran a 4.43 forty at the combine after leading Mississippi State in receiving with a 50-658-4 line as a senior. His main selling point for the Raiders could be his returner skills after he showed some electricity with the ball in his hands during college.

Coker is slated to sign with the Panthers as an undrafted free agent, Doug Kyed of the Boston Herald reports.

Coker will reportedly get a $25,000 signing bonus and $225,000 guaranteed, per Kyed. Plus-sized at 6-foot-1 and 208 pounds, Coker was a first-team All-American at Holy Cross and led the FCS in receiving touchdowns with his 59-1,040-15 receiving line in 2023. Coker ran a 4.57 40-yard dash at the combine and is capable of making an NFL roster as long as he is able to withstand the sizable leap in competition.

Weaver intends to sign with the Cardinals as an undrafted free agent, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Weaver will get $255,000 guaranteed, according to Pelissero. After spending four years at South Florida, Weaver transferred to Colorado for his 2023 campaign and had his best statistical season with a 68-908-4 receiving line. He led the team in receiving and added a pair of rushing scores. Arizona used first- and sixth-rounds picks on wideouts Marvin Harrison and Tejhaun Palmer. Weaver will look to win a job this summer.

The Chargers selected Johnson in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 253rd overall.

The popular assumption was the Chargers would invest a number of draft picks in former Michigan players to join Jim Harbaugh in his new digs, but Johnson represents just the second maize and blue to be drafted by Los Angeles. At 6-foot-3, 228 pounds, Johnson proved to be a capable receiver in his five seasons at Ann Arbor, tallying 1,730 receiving yards and 119 receptions over the final three campaigns in the run-heavy offense. It's hard to imagine Johnson finally breaking out as a quality target despite all of his physical gifts, but at least alongside Harbaugh, he'll have some familiarity from a leadership perspective.

The Dolphins selected Washington in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 241st overall.

Head coach Mike McDaniels certainly has a type. At 5-foot-9, 174 pounds, Washington obviously is a slight figure, but like the majority of the other pass catchers on the Dolphins, he's a blur of speed and urgency as a route runner. A 4.52 40-yard dash at USC's Pro Day puts into question whether Washington's speed will translate to the professional level, but if the Dolphins feel comfortable with it, fantasy managers should too.

The Broncos selected Vele in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 235th overall.

Vele is a big, lanky wideout out of Utah with tools. He's 6-foot-4, 203 pounds with 4.47 speed and was a longtime producer at Utah. Because he was on LDS Religious Mission upon his enrollment at Utah, he comes to the league at 26 years old, which likely factored into his falling to the seventh round. He will need to impress early to get traction because his age does not give him a ton of developmental runway, but Vele's frame and athleticism make him a potential part of the retooling Denver receiving corps. Current Bronco Tim Patrick actually stands as a decent ceiling comparison for Vele.

The Chargers selected Rice in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 225th overall.

The son of Jerry Rice, Brenden played his first two initial seasons at Colorado and had little success despite starting the entirety of his sophomore season. The target then hit the transfer portal, ultimately choosing to join Lincoln Riley at USC, where he compiled 1,402 receiving yards in two seasons. Rice's 12 touchdowns during his senior season led the team, but he struggled to do much with the ball after the catch and didn't look like a confident pass catcher when contact was approaching. He'll have every opportunity to earn a roster spot with a Chargers receiving corps that's devoid of proven names.
