Wallace agreed to a one-year contract with the Ravens on Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Wallace had his best season in the professional ranks in 2024, notching 11 receptions on 12 targets for 193 yards and a touchdown over 17 games. The Oklahoma State product has also worked as a return man during his four seasons with Baltimore and is a mainstay on kick-coverage units. Wallace will likely reprise his role as a depth wideout in 2025, and he could be hard-pressed to build upon his modest numbers given the Ravens' signing of veteran wideout DeAndre Hopkins on Tuesday.

White became an unrestricted free agent Wednesday due to the Seahawks not extending a qualifying tender on his contract, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.

White entered the offseason as an exclusive rights free agent, but he'll now be free to sign with another team due to the Seahawks not tendering his contract. White initially signed to Seattle's practice squad in late August after failing to make the team's 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp, but he was signed to the active roster in mid-November. He appeared in four regular-season games for the Seahawks in 2024, but his two catches (on three targets) for 44 yards all came against the Rams in Week 9.

The Cardinals extended a tender Wednesday to Dortch, who is a restricted free agent, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Dortch has become a mainstay in Arizona's passing game the last three campaigns, averaging a 37.7-363-2.3 line on 51.7 targets per year while missing just two games during the regular season. The team will have the right of first refusal for any contract offer that he receives, but if he returns to the Cardinals, he'll continue to operate as the third wide receiver behind Marvin Harrison and Michael Wilson (hamstring).

The Dolphins re-signed Eskridge (finger) on Wednesday.

Eskridge dealt with injuries in 2024, but he showed enough across his six regular-season appearances with Miami to convince the team to re-sign him. The gadget player and return man missed the Dolphins' regular-season finale against the Jets in Week 18 due to a finger issue, but he projects to be at 100 percent health for the start of offseason activities.

The Giants re-signed Smith-Marsette on Wednesday.

Smith-Marsette served as the Giants primary return man in 2024, accumulating 381 kick-return yards -- including an 100-yard touchdown in Week 17 -- and 228 punt-return yards across 15 appearances. Now that he's officially returning to New York, the Iowa product is expected to serve as the team's return specialist in 2025 while also competing for a depth role at wide receiver throughout the summer.

Chisena re-signed with the Panthers on a one-year contract Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Chisena began the 2024 season in Arizona before joining Carolina's practice squad mid-October, ultimately appearing in six games with the Panthers. He secured three of four targets for 37 yards in that span. Now, Chisena will work to put together a strong offseason and earn another reserve role on offense during the 2025 campaign.

Hodge is re-signing with the Falcons on a two-year, $6 million contract Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Hodge rejoins Atlanta, where he's spent the last three years handling a depth role on offense while contributing as a key special-teamer. He's suited up for all 17 regular-season games in each of those years, having secured seven of 12 targets for 131 yards and one score in 2024.

The Rams will release Kupp on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Unable to find a trade partner, the Rams will instead make Kupp a free agent right at the start of the new league year. He'll likely have plenty of suitors, with Peter Schrager of FOX Sports already reporting that at least three teams are interested in Kupp. He's never averaged less than 57.9 yards per game over the course of a season, but Kupp missed at least five games each of the past three seasons and finished 2024 with career lows for yards per catch (10.6) and yards per target (7.1). He'll turn 32 years old in June, making it unlikely that his next contract contains any guaranteed money beyond 2025 or 2026.

The Chargers will re-sign Reagor.

Reagor played in eight games with the Chargers in 2024, catching seven of his 12 targets for 100 yards. He also took three carries for -3 yards. He projects to rotate in sparingly to run mostly clearing routes in 2025, though he could also contribute on special teams.

Valdes-Scantling agreed Wednesday with the Seahawks on a one-year deal worth up to $5.5 million, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Valdes-Scantling reunites with former Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak in Seattle and joins a receiver room that features little in the way of proven options other than Jaxon Smith-Njigba. New Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold will have to make do with a receiving corps that has lost two 2024 starters, with DK Metcalf now in Pittsburgh and Tyler Lockett getting released. Their departures open up a potential path for Valdes-Scantling to see steady playing time as a deep threat. He recorded 17 catches (35 targets) for 385 yards and four scores across eight games with New Orleans in 2024.
