The Colts signed Horton as an undrafted free agent Thursday.

Horton finished his collegiate career at Purdue in 2025, catching 27 of 49 targets for 289 yards over 11 contests. The wide receiver will look to make a strong impression on the Colts during the team's rookie minicamp beginning Friday.

The Falcons signed Velling as an undrafted free agent Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

Velling wrapped his collegiate career with Michigan State in 2025, reeling in 36 of 45 targets for 359 yards and three touchdowns. The tight end possesses a 6-foot-5, 245-pound frame, and he'll look to compete with Charlie Woerner, Joshua Simon and Brandon Frazier for a reserve role on Atlanta's 53-man roster in 2026.

The Falcons signed Anthony as an undrafted free agent Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

Anthony caught 31 of 54 targets for 391 yards and a touchdown while also adding 27 yards and two scores on five carries over 12 contests at Wisconsin in 2025. More notably, the wide receiver compiled 446 yards and a touchdown on 16 kickoff returns, and his best path towards making the Falcons' 53-man roster is likely as a special-teams asset.

Jennings and the Vikings agreed on a one-year, $13 million contract Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Jennings will head to Minnesota after spending the first six years of his NFL career with the 49ers, five of which were as a member of the team's active roster. The wide receiver most recently caught 55 of 90 targets for 643 yards and a career-high nine touchdowns over 15 regular-season games in 2025. He now will join a Vikings roster that has a pair of top players in Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison as anchors in the WR room, but Jennings' presence will give the team a formidable trio at the position.

Hilton signed with the Commanders as an undrafted free agent Thursday.

Hilton was a four-star recruit in LSU's 2021 class alongside Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas, but his career never took off, partly due to injuries. The 23-year-old wide receiver never posted more than 243 receiving yards in a season through five years at LSU. Still, Hilton ran a 4.41 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, so he could at least make some noise on special teams en route to a potential roster spot.

The Jets waived Hartwig (undisclosed) with a failed physical designation Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

It's unclear exactly what Hartwig is dealing with. If the offensive lineman -- who joined the Jets as an undrafted free agent out of Purdue last May -- clears waivers, he'll land on injured reserve.

The Colts cut Adderley on Thursday, JJ Stankevitz of the team's official site reports.

A 2019 second-round pick, Adderley played four seasons with the Chargers and suited up in 50 games (44 starts), recording 232 tackles (168 solo), 12 pass breakups and three interceptions. He chose to retire in 2023, citing a desire to preserve his health and spend time with loved ones. However, he began a comeback attempt in April when he signed with the Colts, but that was cut short before OTAs began.

The Falcons signed Hall on Thursday, Tori McElhaney of the team's official site reports.

Hall was drafted by the Falcons in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. The San Diego State product appeared in 31 games (10 starts) over two years but was cut in training camp in August of 2023. He most recently played with the Cardinals, starting two games in 2025. Hall will add depth to the Falcons' secondary and likely needs to contribute on special teams.

Heinicke announced his retirement Thursday, Ben Standig of Big 100 Washington D.C. reports.

Heinicke signed with the Chargers last year but lost the backup job battle to Trey Lance, leading to his release in August of 2025. The Old Dominion product never found a new landing spot, and he chose to hang up the cleats after an unlikely but highly interesting NFL career. Heinicke went undrafted in 2015 and didn't start a game until 2018 with the Panthers. He ended up joining the XFL in 2020 where he reinvigorated his career, eventually signing with Washington and starting 15 games during the 2021 season. Heinicke finished with a career record of 13-15-1 while completing 62.5 percent of his passes for 6,663 yards, 39 touchdowns and 28 interceptions through 42 games (29 starts).

Prentice signed with the Panthers as an undrafted free agent Thursday, Kassidy Hill of the team's official site reports.

Prentice had a decent freshman season at Alabama with a 31-337-2 line over 13 games, but he never really progressed from there, topping out at 380 yards and six touchdowns as a senior at Baylor. He's undersized (5-foot-10, 184 pounds) but showcased 4.37 40-yard dash at his pro day, and he'll need to make an impact on special teams to have a chance at the 53-man roster.
