Taylor (undisclosed) signed with the Lions on Monday.

The wide receiver was placed on injured reserve with an undisclosed issue by the Jets in August of last year and didn't appear in any 2024 regular-season games. His best season came in 2020 with the Packers, when he caught five passes for 66 yards and a score. Taylor faces an uphill climb for a roster spot behind established pros Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, Tim Patrick and Kalif Raymond and 2025 draft picks Isaac TeSlaa and Dominic Lovett.

Dorsett was released by the Falcons on Monday.

Dorsett inked a reserve/future contract with the Falcons in early January, but the team has decided to part ways with the veteran wideout. The 2015 first-round pick last appeared in an NFL regular-season game with the Broncos in 2023, failing to catch any of his three targets across 34 offensive snaps. Now a free agent, Dorsett will likely look to find work with a team in need of wide receiver depth.

The 49ers are hosting Davis (knee) for a visit Monday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

Davis was released by the Jaguars in early May after playing out just one season of his three-year, $39 million contract with the team. He recorded just a 20-239-2 line (on 42 targets) across 10 appearances in 2024 before going down with a meniscus injury. Davis is still dealing with the issue, but he's expected to be fully healthy by Week 1, making him a potential depth option for a San Francisco wide receiver corps that parted ways with Deebo Samuel earlier this offseason.

Cracraft was released by the Seahawks on Monday, John Boyle of the team's official site reports.

Cracraft -- who was let go with a non-football injury designation -- signed with the Seahawks in late March and initially appeared to be one of the team's top depth options at wide receiver following the offseason departures of DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. However, the team will move in a different direction, following Monday's transaction. Cracraft spent the last three seasons in Miami, catching 25 passes for 289 yards and three touchdowns across 29 regular-season contests.

Wilkerson was waived by the Raiders on Monday.

Wilkerson inked a reserve/future contract with the Raiders in early January, but the team now has decided to part ways with the 28-year-old wideout. Over the past two seasons, he appeared in five games for Las Vegas, catching two of three targets for 18 yards and a touchdown while playing 99 total snaps (84 offensive, 15 on special teams). Now a free agent, Wilkerson will look to catch on with a team in need of wide receiver depth.

Peoples-Jones agreed to terms Monday on a contract with New Orleans, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.

Peoples-Jones spent time on the Lions' practice squad in 2024, but he hasn't logged a regular-season appearance since 2023, when he suited up for eight games with Detroit. Top wideouts Chris Olave (concussion), Rashid Shaheed (knee), Brandin Cooks and Bub Means all missed time due to injuries last season, making wide receiver depth a key area of need for the Saints. In the wake of Derek Carr (shoulder) retiring, Peoples-Jones will have the opportunity to build chemistry with all of Tyler Shough, Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener.

The Giants re-signed Humphrey on Monday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

The Texas product was dropped by the Giants just three days ago, but it now appears the team has decided to bring him back to New York. Humphrey appeared in all 17 of the Broncos' regular-season contests in 2024, catching 31 of his 45 targets for 293 yards and one touchdown. With the Giants' limited depth at wide receiver, Humphrey likely will have the opportunity to compete for a reserve role on offense this summer.

The Giants released Humphrey on Friday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

This move comes as a bit of a surprise, as Humphrey looked to have a legitimate chance of serving as wideout depth for New York after signing with the organization March 21. The veteran wideout tallied a career-high 31 catches and 293 receiving yards over 17 regular-season games with Denver last year, adding one receiving touchdown. The Giants recently signed five receivers as undrafted free agents and needed to clear roster space, precipitating Humphrey's release.

The Raiders waived Foreman (knee) with a failed physical designation Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Foreman suffered a knee injury during training camp in August of last year and spent the entire season on IR. The failed physical designation suggests the 25-year-old wideout hasn't fully recovered. If Foreman isn't claimed by another team off waivers, he'll revert to the Raiders' PUP list.

Franklin signed with the Raiders as an undrafted free agent Friday.

Franklin played for three different schools throughout his six-year collegiate career, spending the first four seasons at UTSA before transferring to Ole Miss in 2023 and finishing his career at Illinois in 2024. The 6-foot-1 wideout's best season came at UTSA in 2022, catching 94 passes for 1,136 yards and 15 touchdowns across 14 games. With much of the Raiders' wide receiver corps still unproven, Franklin will likely compete for a depth spot on the active roster or practice squad during offseason activities.
