Treylon Burks WR | WAS
Commanders' Treylon Burks: Back to Washington on one-year deal
The Commanders re-signed Burks to a one-year contract worth up to $4 million Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
After some injury-plagued seasons in Tennessee, Burks signed with Washington back in October and appeared in eight regular-season games for the Commanders last season. He reeled in 10 of 22 targets for 130 yards and one touchdown on 60 percent of the offensive snaps across the second half of the season. The Commanders' wide-receiver depth chart is wide open behind Terry McLaurin, as Deebo Samuel is ticketed for free agency next week.

Curtis Samuel WR | BUF
Bills' Curtis Samuel: Set to be let go by Bills
The Bills are in line to release Samuel, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Samuel was limited to seven catches in six 2025 regular-season games during his second campaign with the Bills. Now that Buffalo is moving on from Samuel -- who topped the 60-catch mark as recently as 2023 with the Commanders -- the 29-year-old will look to catch on elsewhere as a depth WR/return option.

Justin Jefferson WR | MIN
Vikings' Justin Jefferson: Simple contract restructure
Jefferson agreed to terms Friday on a contract restructure that frees up salary cap space for the Vikings, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Jefferson and left tackle Christian Darrisaw (knee) both agreed to restructures Friday, helping Minnesota achieve a more manageable salary cap situation ahead of the start of the legal tampering period on Monday. The star wide receiver, who will turn 27 in June, will likely spend the offseason focusing on building an increased rapport with quarterback J.J. McCarthy (hand), after the two struggled to get on the same page throughout the 2025 campaign. The Vikings have also been linked to numerous quarterbacks expected to be available in free agency as potential added competition for McCarthy.

Juwan Johnson WR | NO
Saints' Juwan Johnson: Agrees to restructure
Johnson and the Saints agreed to terms on a contract restructure Friday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Johnson's restructure converts part of his base salary into a signing bonus, freeing up $6.29 million in cap space for the team. The veteran tight end enjoyed a career year in head coach Kellen Moore's offense in 2025 and flashed reliable rapport with quarterback Tyler Shough, totaling a career-best 77-889-3 receiving line (103 targets) while suiting up for all 17 regular-season games. Looking ahead to the 2026 campaign, Johnson projects as a high-floor fantasy option and fair candidate to outperform his ADP.

Gunner Olszewski WR | NYG
Giants' Gunner Olszewski: Staying with Giants
Olszewski signed a one-year deal with the Giants on Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The kick and punt returner will return to New York instead of hitting the free-agent market. Olszewski recorded 682 kickoff return yards and 216 punt return yards in in 16 regular-season contests in 2025. He also caught 10 passes for 145 yards and a touchdown as a receiver.

DJ Moore WR | BUF
Bills' DJ Moore: Getting traded to Buffalo
The Bears agreed to trade Moore to the Bills on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Buffalo will send a second-round draft pick to Chicago in exchange for Moore and 2026 fifth-round pick.
Moore should instantly slot in as the top receiving option for Josh Allen under head coach Joe Brady. The veteran wide receiver had at least 1,157 receiving yards in both the 2020 and 2021 regular seasons with the Panthers, where Brady was the offensive coordinator at the time. Moore's 682 regular-season receiving yards with the Bears in 2025 marked the lowest total of his eight-year career, as he lost target share to recent draft picks Rome Odunze, Luther Burden and Colston Loveland (concussion). Khalil Shakir led the Bills in targets and receiving yards each of the past two regular seasons, compiling 148 catches for 1,540 receiving yards on 195 targets over that span.

Darnell Mooney WR | NYG
Falcons' Darnell Mooney: Set to be released
The Falcons are planning to release Mooney when the new league year begins March 11, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Mooney had just 32 catches for 443 yards and one touchdown in 15 appearances during a disappointing 2025 season. Releasing the 28-year-old wide receiver prior to the final year of his three-year, $39 million contract will save the Falcons $7.4 million in cap space. Mooney had 992 receiving yards over 16 games with Atlanta in the 2024, so he's likely to garner some interest once he hits the open market.

Jamari Thrash WR | CLE
Browns' Jamari Thrash: Receives tender from Cleveland
The Browns placed an exclusive rights free-agent tender on Thrash on Wednesday.
For the second straight season, Thrash appeared in nine regular-season contests during the 2025 campaign, finishing with 10 catches for 107 yards on 15 targets. With a new coaching staff in town for the Browns, Thrash will again need to compete for a job this summer.

Malachi Corley WR | CLE
Browns' Malachi Corley: Tendered by Cleveland
Cleveland placed an exclusive rights free-agent tender on Corley on Wednesday.
After being cut by the Jets following the preseason, Corley latched on with the Browns and appeared in 13 regular-season games last season. Corley logged 194 offensive snaps and caught 11 of 14 targets for 79 yards while adding 127 rushing yards on 13 carries. Corley will compete for a job under new coach Todd Monken this offseason.

Brycen Tremayne WR | CAR
Panthers' Brycen Tremayne: Receives ERFA tender
The Panthers placed an exclusive rights free-agent tender on Tremayne on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Tremayne will return to Carolina after securing 14 of 18 targets for 160 scoreless yards across 16 regular-season appearances during the 2025 campaign. In addition to his role as a depth wideout, Tremayne was a fixture on special teams for Carolina, logging 230 snaps in kick coverage.
