Miami has extended a contract offer to Beckham, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Beckham visited the Dolphins last week, and coach Mike McDaniel said Monday that the team has an offer extended to the veteran wideout. With Cedrick Wilson having departed in free agency, Miami is in need of a No. 3 wide receiver behind Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle, and Beckham likely would offer the team an upgrade over what's been fielded at that spot in recent years. Though the 31-year-old finished with just 35 catches for 565 yards and three touchdowns over 14 games for the Ravens last season, including two playoff matches, it's difficult to think of a landing spot better for Beckham's potential fantasy prospects than with the Dolphins.

GM John Lynch said Monday that the 49ers have not engaged in trade discussions regarding Aiyuk and that both sides continue to have active talks about a contract extension, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.

Lynch also noted that San Francisco would be amicable to Aiyuk simply playing out the 2024 season on his fifth-year option, an outcome that would position the young wideout to hit free agency next offseason. The 2020 first-round pick recorded a 75-1,342-7 receiving line across 16 regular-season games last year, and while his skills certainly are central to the 49ers offense and Brock Purdy's continued success, the team is tight against the cap with a star-studded list of skill-position players that also includes WR Deebo Samuel, RB Christian McCaffrey and TE George Kittle (groin). Trade rumors may continue to surround Aiyuk this offseason even after Lynch's denial, but considering San Francisco's status as a win-now roster and high-end contender in the NFC, the team likely places extreme value on the 26-year-old wideout's continued presence, even if only for the short term.

Watkins is signing with the Steelers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

A 2020 sixth-round pick, Watkins made 25 starts for Philadelphia over the past four seasons but never saw more than 62 targets in a year. His 4.35 speed is his best trait, and he'll now join a Steelers team with only George Pickens entrenched as a starting wide receiver. Pittsburgh's other options at the position include Van Jefferson, Calvin Austin, Denzel Mims and Marquez Callaway, with more help possibly coming during the 2024 NFL Draft.

GM Ryan Poles said Monday that he thinks Allen will sign an extension with the Bears "down the road" after the team handles other contracts, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Poles seems to be suggesting that the Bears first want to work out extensions for players that have been with the team longer, though they already took care of two big ones in DE Montez Sweat (November) and CB Jaylon Johnson (March). Allen's new partner at wide receiver might be next in line, as DJ Moore's contract has two more seasons and $32.1 million but nothing guaranteed. Allen has one year and $23.1 million remaining, with the large sum explaining why the Chargers traded him for a mere fourth-round pick on the heels of a 2023 campaign in which he had career highs of 95.6 receiving yards and 21.5 PPR points per game (both numbers ranking Top 4 among all WRs). Allen missed the final four games with a heel injury and will turn 32 in April, but there's been no report of offseason surgery or any complications, so he should be a huge asset in the short term for presumed No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams.

Hodgins agreed to a contract with the Giants on Thursday.

Hodgins has spent the majority of the last two seasons with the Giants and had flashes of productivity late in the 2022 campaign. New York didn't tender him a contract as a restricted free agent, but the sides have agreed to new terms. The addition of Isaiah McKenzie this offseason could push Hodgins further down the wide receiver depth chart, and the team is also rumored to be interested in some of the top pass catchers in this year's draft class. Given that, Hodgins' role with the Giants is currently unclear.

Reynolds will visit the Ravens on Friday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

The Ravens met with Michael Gallup earlier in the week and are still looking for veteran, complementary pass catchers for an offense that will be led by QB Lamar Jackson, RB Derrick Henry, WR Zay Flowers and TE Mark Andrews. It might not be the best place for a wide receiver to have fantasy value, but Baltimore does offer a good opportunity for playing time and a playoff run. Reynolds had at least 326 receiving yards (but no more than 618 in each of the past six seasons), starting 52 of 91 regular-season games in that span while playing for three different teams. He turned 29 in February, shortly after catching eight of 14 targets for 132 yards and a TD in three playoff games for Detroit.

Campbell and the Eagles agreed to terms on a one-year contract Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Campbell, a 2019 second-round pick, is coming off a disappointing one-and-done season with the Giants. Across 12 regular-season games in 2023, he secured 20 of 27 targets for just 104 yards, while adding 191 yards as a kick returner. He was more productive with the Colts in 2022, with a 63-623-3 receiving line across 17 contests. Campbell now gets a chance to compete for depth work behind A.J. Brown (knee), DeVonta Smith and DeVante Parker.

The Dolphins re-signed Cracraft on Wednesday.

Cracraft has spent the past two seasons with the Dolphins after working his way up from the practice squad early in the 2022 campaign. While the six-foot wideout had some notable single-game performances in the first two games of the 2022 regular season, he's totaled just 18 catches for 223 yards and three touchdowns over the past two years. He's also regularly dealt with injuries which have limited him to just 21 appearances over that span. Expect Cracraft to once again compete with Erik Ezukanma for a role behind fellow wideouts Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle and Braxton Berrios.

Beckham is set to visit the Dolphins on Thursday, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.

Beckham is a free agent after recording 35 catches for 565 yards and three touchdowns over 14 games, including two postseason contests, with the Ravens in 2023. The 31-year-old remains interested in continuing his NFL career, and Miami's high-flying offense would certainly be a favorable spot for him to end up.

Gallup is scheduled to visit the Ravens on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Gallup, who turned 28 years old earlier this month, is coming off a 2023 season in which he recorded a 34-418-2 receiving line on 57 targets in 17 games with the Cowboys. If the 2018 third-round pick ends up signing with Baltimore, he would add needed depth to a wideout corps currently headed by Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor.
