The Packers and Cobb agreed to a restructure of his contract Wednesday, Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.

The status of Cobb likely was tied to Aaron Rodgers' decision, and once the latter opted to return to Green Bay and signed an extension, some maneuvering was required to get the Packers below the salary cap. According to Silverstein, Cobb's salary has been reduced from $8.5 million to $3 million for the upcoming season. Now that he's sticking in Green Bay for a 10th campaign, Cobb will look to build upon the 28-375-5 line he put together on 39 targets across 12 games in 2021.

Hollins agreed to a contract with the Raiders on Wednesday, Tashan Reed of The Athletic reports.

The 6-foot-4, 221-pound wideout is coming off a 2021 campaign in which he recorded 14 catches (on 28 targets) for 223 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games. The 28-year-old now joins a Raiders wide receiver corps currently led by Hunter Renfrow and Bryan Edwards. At this stage, Hollins is a candidate to make a run at the No. 3 job, but he'll likely face competition from players not currently on the roster.

Sims re-signed Wednesday with the Commanders on a two-year, $3 million contract, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Sims sticks with the only team he's ever known, having mostly served as a backup since first catching on with Washington in 2018. He made 10 starts in 2020 and finished the season with 477 yards, but then dropped to a 15-211-2 receiving line in 14 games last season (three starts). He'll likely be fourth or fifth on the wideout depth chart entering training camp this summer.

The Patriots declined to tender Olszewski a contract Wednesday, making him an unrestricted free agent, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

New England could still look to re-sign the 25-year-old this offseason, but he'll now have an opportunity to explore his options elsewhere. In three NFL seasons, Olszewski has recorded just nine catches, but his contributions as a punt and kick returner will no doubt assist him in finding a landing spot for the 2022 season.

Perriman (abdomen) agreed Wednesday with the Buccaneers on a one-year deal, Rick Stroud of the Tampa Bay Times reports.

By the time the Bucs return to the field, the wideout should be recovered from the abdomen issue that kept him out of the team's wild-card round loss to the Rams. Perriman finished the regular season with 11 catches for 167 yards and a touchdown in six games. Looking ahead, the 2015 first-round selection will look to re-establish his role in a Tampa Bay wide-receiving corps headed by Mike Evans, Russell Gage and Chris Godwin (knee), who is recovering from a torn ACL.

Grant (ankle) agreed to a three-year deal with the Browns on Tuesday that's worth up to $13.8 million, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Grant missed the final game of 2021 with an ankle issue, but it won't affect his outlook in free agency. Chicago acquired the 29-year-old from Miami in October, and he finished the campaign with 11 catches for 132 yards and two touchdowns to go along with 493 yards on 21 kick returns and 250 yards and one touchdown on 18 punt returns. Grant is likely to see most of his action in the return game for Cleveland, as well.

Morgan won't be tendered by the Bengals, so he'll become a free agent when the new league year starts March 16, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

Morgan appeared in all 17 of the Bengals' regular season games, but he wasn't a factor during their playoff run due to a hamstring issue. Regardless, he operated mostly on special teams and caught just two of four targets for 11 yards during the 2021 campaign. It's unclear what type of market the 25-year-old wideout will garner in free agency.

Ward agreed to a one-year deal with the Eagles on Tuesday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Ward finished the 2021 campaign with seven catches on 11 targets for 95 yards and three touchdowns across 17 games. The wideout aggravated a back injury during the Eagles' wild-card loss to the Buccaneers, but he's expected to be good to go for the 2022 campaign.

Raymond is re-signing with the Lions, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Raymond is a 27-year-old journeyman who made 14 starts for Detroit last season and finished with career highs across the board (48-576-4 on 71 targets). He'll be back with the Lions, but there's significant danger of slipping down the depth chart, especially after the team reached an agreement earlier Tuesday with former Jags wideout D.J. Chark. Prior to that, the Lions signed Josh Reynolds to a two-year extension, giving them another experienced option behind Chark and second-year receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown.

The Buccaneers and Gage agreed to terms of a contract Tuesday on a three-year, $30 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Gage is coming off back-to-back productive seasons in Atlanta in which he totaled at least 66 catches and 770 yards and exactly four touchdowns per year. He'll kick off the upcoming campaign as the No. 2 wide receiver in Tampa Bay behind Mike Evans due to Chris Godwin's ongoing recovery from a Week 15 ACL tear. Considering Godwin may not be healthy for a good portion of the season, Gage should be on the receiving end of numerous passes per game from Tom Brady.
