The Jaguars are giving Cole a second-round tender, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Cole went undrafted back in 2017, so an original-round tender wouldn't have offered any draft compensation if the Jaguars failed to match an offer sheet. A second-round tender, on the other hand, ensures that Cole won't receive any offer sheets, which means he'll be back with the Jaguars unless there's an unexpected trade. He operated as the team's No. 4 wide receiver throughout most of last season, catching 24 of 35 targets for 361 yards and three touchdowns. If nothing else, Cole has proven himself effective as a part-time deep threat, showing flashes of starter potential. He'll likely enter training camp behind DJ Chark, Dede Westbrook and Chris Conley on the depth chart.

Cobb agreed to terms on a three-year, $27 million contract with the Texans on Monday, James Jones of NFL Network reports.

There was reportedly interest in the 29-year-old returning to Dallas for the 2020 campaign, but he'll instead end up heading to Houston. The Texans shipped DeAndre Hopkins to the Cardinals earlier in the day, so Cobb will partially fill that significant void for quarterback Deshaun Watson. Cobb caught 55 of 83 targets for 828 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games last season, posting the best YPC (15.1) of his nine-year career.

Cooper is nearing agreement on a five-year, $100 million contract with the Cowboys on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The 25-year-old seemed poised to officially test the open market, but it appears Dallas was able to secure its top wide receiver after the tampering window opened Monday afternoon. Cooper set career highs in yardage (1,189), touchdowns (eight) and YPC (15.1) during 2019 while catching 79 of 119 targets. Quarterback Dak Prescott received the franchise tag earlier in the day, so the Cowboys are set to enter the 2020 season having secured their top two impending free agents.

The Vikings agreed to trade Diggs to the Bills on Monday, Jay Glazer of Fox Sports reports.

The trade won't become official until later this week, but the Bills are set to send a 2020 first-round pick, fifth-round pick, sixth-round pick and a 2021 fourth-round pick to the Vikings in exchange for Diggs and a 2020 seventh-round pick, per Adam Schefter of ESPN. Trade speculation has long surrounded Diggs along with rumors he wasn't happy in Minnesota, and he'll now receive a fresh start entering the 2020 season. The 26-year-old set career highs in yards (1,130) and YPC (17.9) in 2019, while catching 63 of 94 targets and six touchdowns. Diggs should slot in as Buffalo's No. 1 wide receiver opposite John Brown for third-year quarterback Josh Allen.

The Bills won't tender McKenzie, making him an unrestricted free agent, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

McKenzie suited up in a variety of roles for the Bills in the last campaign, playing 482 total snaps, as he accumulated 254 yards receiving and 49 yards rushing. Considering the team could've slapped just a fifth-round tender on the receiver and failed to do so, it's likely that McKenzie will be looking for a new home this offseason. Regardless of which team elects to sign the Georgia product, he'll likely assume a depth receiving role, at best, in 2020.

The Chiefs won't tender Kemp (knee), making him an unrestricted free agent, Terez A. Paylor of Yahoo Sports reports.

The 24-year-old didn't see game action in 2019 after he suffered a torn ACL and MCL during training camp. Kemp suited up in all 16 games for the Chiefs in 2018, though, playing in 299 special-teams snaps. If healthy, Kemp will have a few suitors for his services, but he'll likely vie for a depth role in 2020.

Patrick will remain with the Broncos after the team placed a contract tender on the exclusive rights free agent Monday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

The 26-year-old was a solid contributor despite missing eight games with a hand injury, hauling in 16 of 31 targets for 218 yards in 2019. Patrick did emerge late in the season as a nice No. 2 option behind Courtland Sutton, but he'll likely face some competition from inside and outside sources heading into the 2020 season. Depending on how Denver handles it's receiver depth chart, Patrick could be in line for a depth spot and special-teams duties yet again.

The Seahawks have tendered Moore at the original-round level, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Moore was a seventh-round pick in 2017, so any team that signs him to an offer sheet will need to send a seventh-round selection to Seattle if the Seahawks don't match. He made some noise in 2018 with 445 yards and five touchdowns, but he started just one game in 2019 en route to a 17-301-2 receiving line. He could be in the mix for the team's No. 3 WR job this offseason, depending on other moves in the weeks to come.

The Texans have traded Hopkins and a fourth-round draft pick to the Cardinals in exchange for running back David Johnson as well as second and fourth-round choices, ESPN's Sarah Barshop reports.

This stunning blockbuster shakes up both Arizona's pass-catching corps as well as Houston's backfield. Young QB Kyler Murray now has a new No. 1 option in Hopkins, who will head a loaded Cardinals wideout corps that also includes Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk .

The Texans are reportedly trading Hopkins to the Cardinals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

We'll await details on the exact parameters of the deal, but this news comes shortly after reports surfaced that the Cardinals were sending running back David Johnson to Houston.
