  • Broncos' Trent Sherfield: Headed to Denver

    Sherfield is slated to sign a two-year contract with the Broncos, per Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports.

    Sherfield is headed to Denver after having caught just eight passes for 83 yards and one touchdown with the Vikings during the 2024 campaign. He could have the chance to compete for one of the top receiver spots opposite Courtland Sutton and can add value on special teams as well.

  • Ravens' DeAndre Hopkins: Joining forces with Lamar

    Hopkins is in line to sign a one-year contract with the Ravens, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

    Hopkins split the 2024 campaign between the Titans and Kansas City, posting a 56-610-5 line on 80 targets in 16 regular-season games. Overall, it marked his fewest catches and receiving yards since 2021, when he was limited to 10 appearances with the Cardinals. Hopkins will turn 33 in June, and with Zay Flowers (knee) and Rashod Bateman (undisclosed) currently serving as Baltimore's top receivers and TEs Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely also on the roster, Hopkins may not be better than the fifth option in the passing game for Lamar Jackson.

  • Dolphins' Nick Westbrook-Ikhine: Takes talents to South Beach

    The Dolphins and Westbrook-Ikhine have agreed to terms on a two-year, $6.5 million contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Undrafted in 2020, Westbrook-Ikhine has made at least 14 appearances in each of his five pro campaigns, culminating with career highs in receiving yards (497), touchdowns (nine) and targets (60) on 32 catches across 17 regular-season games in 2024. By joining a Dolphins receiving corps that employs Tyreek Hill (wrist) and Jaylen Waddle, Westbrook-Ikhine likely can't expect a bump in volume, but he could be in store for an even more productive season this fall considering the attention secondaries pay to Miami's top pair.

  • Drake Stoops WR | LAR

    Rams' Drake Stoops: Suspended two games

    Stoops has been suspended the first two games of the 2025 regular season for violating the NFL's policy regarding performance-enhancing substances, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Stoops will have to miss the first two games of 2025, but he can still participate in training camp and preseason contests without restrictions. This development could negatively impact his odds of earning a reserve spot on the 53-man roster, though. He spent the entire 2024 campaign on the Rams' practice squad and wasn't elevated for a single game.

  • Saints' Juwan Johnson: Re-signs for three years

    Johnson and the Saints agreed to terms Tuesday on a three-year, $30.75 million contract, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    The initial report suggests the deal maxes out at $34.5 million and includes $21.25 million guaranteed. It looks like an overpay relative to other tight ends with similar receiving production, especially when considering how little Johnson offers as a blocker. A weak free-agent class may have been a factor, as Johnson would've been one of the better options amongst a weak crop if the Saints hadn't locked him up before he hit the open market. The 28-year-old averaged 2.6-2.8 receptions and 28-33 receiving yards per game each of the past three seasons, buoyed by strong finishes in 2023 and 2024 after not doing much for most of the year.

  • Cowboys' KaVontae Turpin: Re-signs for three years

    Turpin and the Cowboys reached agreement Tuesday on a three-year contract, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports

    The report notes that Turpin will become the "highest-paid special teams player in NFL history", although part of the motivation for re-signing him is that he's also a significant contributor on offense. He caught 31 of 52 targets for 420 yards and two TDs last season, adding 16 carries for 92 yards, 18 punt returns for 187 yards (with one TD) and 27 kick returns for 904 yards (and another TD). Turpin is a late bloomer who went undrafted back in 2019 and didn't make a regular-season appearance until 2022, which explains why he'll be 29 years old at the start of his fourth NFL campaign come September. He'll presumably land somewhere between third and fifth on the depth chart at wide receiver, in addition to returning both punts and kickoffs.

  • Zay Jones WR | ARI

    Cardinals' Zay Jones: Re-signs with Arizona

    Jones agreed to a one-year, $4.4 million deal with the Cardinals on Tuesday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

    Jones recorded eight receptions for 84 yards in 11 games this past season after serving a five-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. The veteran receiver only recorded two starts and was primarily used as a fourth wideout behind Marvin Harrison, Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch, a group that figures to see additional competition added either via free agency or draft picks in the coming weeks.

  • Ashton Dulin WR | IND

    Colts' Ashton Dulin: Back to Indianapolis

    The Colts re-signed Dulin to a two-year contract Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    The deal is worth up to $8.5 million. Dulin doesn't contribute much on offense, but he's a stalwart on special teams for the Colts. Dulin has a total of 35 catches for 517 yards and four touchdowns since entering the NFL in 2019 as an undrafted free agent out of Malone.

  • Mack Hollins WR | NE

    Patriots' Mack Hollins: Joining forces with Pats

    Hollins is slated to signed a two-year, $8.4 million contract with the Patriots, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Hollins thus will reunite with Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, under whom the wide receiver had a career-best campaign in 2022 in Las Vegas with a 57-690-4 line on 94 targets in 17 regular-season games. He combined for 49-629-5 on 80 targets in 30 contests between the Falcons (2023) and Bills (2024) over the last two years. In a receiving corps with all of DeMario Douglas, Kayshon Boutte and Kendrick Bourne under contract and more reinforcements possible this offseason, it's unclear what kind of role Hollins can expect in a Drake Maye-led offense.

  • Darius Slayton WR | NYG

    Giants' Darius Slayton: Staying in New York

    Slayton re-signed with the Giants on a three-year, $36 million contract Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Slayton will remain with the only organization he's known since being selected in the fifth round of the 2019 Draft. Through six seasons, he's surpassed 700 receiving yards four times and 40 catches on four occasions while scoring 21 touchdowns in 92 regular-season games. The primary question mark is who will be throwing passes to Slayton and fellow WRs Malik Nabers and Wan'Dale Robinson in 2025, as Tommy DeVito currently is the only QB under contract with the Giants.
