Jacksonville signed Trammell to a reserve/futures contract Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

In his only appearance this regular season, Trammell caught two of his three targets for 40 yards, but he also lost a fumble. In 2025, he'll be fighting for a roster spot among a group of wide receivers that mostly disappointed in the most recent campaign.

Hopkins didn't take the field in Week 18 versus the Broncos.

Hopkins wasn't among the inactives for Sunday's regular-season finale, but the Chiefs opted to rest their starters with the No.1 seed locked up heading into the contest. Kansas City has a bye week on tap before they start their postseason run in the divisional round, and Hopkins should rejoin the action then.

Indianapolis signed Montgomery to a reserve/futures contract Monday.

Montgomery didn't suit up for a regular-season game with the Colts in 2024, though he did log seven appearances with the team back in 2023. The 28-year-old will spend the offseason working to again earn a reserve gig with Indianapolis.

Jacksonville signed Cephus to a reserve/futures contract Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.

In his only appearance in the 2024 regular season, Cephus played just six offensive snaps and did not draw a target. However, rookie first-rounder Brian Thomas was the only Jaguars wide receiver to log more than 400 receiving yards during the most recent campaign, so the room may have some openings heading into the 2025 league year.

Heath was targeted five times and caught three passes for 53 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Bears.

Heath was busier than usual with Romeo Doubs (illness) sitting out and Christian Watson (knee) leaving the game early, and he wound up setting a new career high in the receiving yards column. Doubs will presumably return for Green Bay's postseason opener, but Watson will not, so Heath could have more opportunities to contribute during the playoffs.

Davis secured his only target for five yards during Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Raiders.

Davis finishes the regular season with 13 catches on 17 targets for 112 yards and two scores across 15 appearances. He also logged 12 carries for 39 yards, and contributed a combined 759 yards on kick and punt return duties. The 2023 fourth-round pick improved on his rookie-year production across the board, and he'll have a chance to continue making an impact Saturday on the road in a wild-card round playoff game against Houston.

Chark secured one of three targets for six yards during Sunday's 34-20 loss to the Raiders.

Chark's inaugural season with the Chargers was disastrous, as he compiled just four grabs for 41 yards and one touchdown on 10 targets across seven regular-season appearances. Hip and groin injuries resulted in Chark's 2024 debut being delayed until Week 10. He has drawn seven combined targets in his last two appearances however, as he finally gets a chance to establish some chemistry with Justin Herbert. Chark will try to make an impact in the playoffs, beginning with Saturday's wild-card round game against Houston, prior to hitting free agency this offseason.

The Panthers signed Milne to a reserve/futures contract Tuesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Milne originally signed onto Carolina's practice squad back in October, and now he'll start the new league year in the same place. His experience as a returner could help his case to join a shallow group of wide receivers in 2025.

The Panthers signed Luther to a reserve/futures contract Tuesday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

Carolina added Luther to its practice squad in December, and now he'll stay with the team to begin the new year. He'll be competing to earn a roster spot among one of the league's most unproven groups of wide receivers.

Erickson reverted to New England's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Erickson got his third straight elevation ahead of Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Bills and saw action on offense for the first time this season, logging 14 offensive snaps without getting any targets. He also worked as the Patriots' primary return man, returning one kick for 16 yards and two punts for 26 yards. After catching 16 passes for 232 yards and one touchdown over eight games with the Chargers last year, Erickson was a free agent for most of the 2024 campaign, as he didn't latch on with New England's practice squad until mid-December.
