Deguara signed with the Cardinals on Monday, Zach Gershman of the team's official site reports.

A 2020 third-round pick of the Packers who spent 2024 with the Jaguars, Deguara has 50 career catches for 450 yards and two touchdowns, including three catches for 14 yards a year ago. He has played on over 800 special-teams snaps over the course of his career, and he could earn a role that way on the Cardinals. Arizona's tight end room is led by Trey McBride, who caught 111 passes for 1,146 yards in 2024, and then Tip Reiman and Elijah Higgins.

Major signed with the Ravens as an undrafted free agent Monday, Glenn Erby of USA Today reports.

The running back never exceeded 78 carries in any of his six collegiate seasons with Oklahoma and Minnesota. In 2024 with latter university, he finished with 352 rushing yards and three rushing scores to go with 20 catches for 144 yards and a touchdown. Baltimore's top two backs, Derrick Henry and Justice Hill, were big contributors to the team's elite offense in 2024, though there should be roster spots available behind them.

Lockhart signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent Monday, Matt McMullen of the team's official site reports.

The wide receiver caught 53 passes for 983 yards and five scores in 2024 at San Jose State. Lockhart also averaged 18.5 yards per catch last season. His big-play ability should at least get him a real look from a team known to value that skill.

Dalena signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent Monday, Matt McMullen of the team's official site reports.

The 5-foot-9, 180-pound Fresno State product put up some impressive statistics in college that suggest a well-rounded game. He caught 64 passes for 1,065 yards and eight touchdowns in 2024, including five catches of 50-plus yards. Dalena also dropped just four passes on 178 collegiate targets, per McMullen. The wide receiver also played on more than 600 special teams snaps in college, which should help his case for a roster spot on a team with four established NFL receivers in Xavier Worthy, Rashee Rice (knee), Hollywood Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster, as well as 2025 fourth-round pick Jalen Royals.

The Ravens have released Tucker.

Per Kevin Patra of NFL.com, Tucker -- who had been with the Ravens since 2012 -- remains under league investigation for potential improper conduct, and the team now has elected to part ways with the veteran kicker, who converted 22 of his 30 field-goal attempts over 17 regular-season games in 2024. Tyler Loop, who was selected in the sixth round of last month's draft, thus appears to be in line to handle Baltimore's kicking duties this coming season, though it's possible the team could add some depth at the position ahead of training camp.

The Packers waived Griffin on Monday.

Griffin inked a reserve/future contract with Green Bay in January, but his spot on the roster became redundant following the team's selections of Matthew Golden and Savion Williams in April's draft. Since going undrafted out of Mississippi State in 2024, Griffin has not yet earned an opportunity to make his NFL debut.

Los Angeles signed Covey (neck) to a one-year contract Monday.

Covey spent last year with the Eagles, securing seven of eight targets for 34 yards across his five regular-season appearances. A neck injury sustained Week 13 forced Covey to land on IR, and though he resumed practicing in full late during the playoffs, he wasn't able to gain clearance in time to suit up for Philadelphia's win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. Now healthy, Covey will compete for an opportunity to earn a depth role with the Rams.

Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that Ward is "doing fine" in his recovery from foot surgery and "is starting to get back to running a little bit," Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Ward appears on track in his recovery from a procedure undergone to address a season-ending injury sustained Week 16. The veteran safety figures to be ready for the start of training camp, but Houston may continue to take a cautious approach to his recovery in the meantime. Ward has dealt with numerous injuries across the last two seasons, which have limited him to just 20 regular-season appearances in that span.

Stafford and the Rams finalized terms on a two-year, $84 million contract Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Stafford finally put pen to paper Monday after the two sides agreed to continue their relationship back in February. Stafford will collect $44 million in 2025, and if he's on the roster at the start of the 2026 league year, he'll earn another $40 million for that season. Stafford recently turned 37 years old this offseason, but coach Sean McVay has already stated he believes the quarterback has multiple good seasons left in the tank. Stafford completed 65.8 percent of his passes last season, throwing for 3,762 yards and a 20:8 TD:INT across 16 regular-season starts.

Texans coach DeMeco Ryans reiterated Monday that Dell (knee) remains without a timetable for return, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Wilson reports that Dell is making "steady and impressive progress with major steps taken" following a pair of surgeries to repair the MCL, LCL and ACL in his left knee after he was injured in the Texans' Week 16 loss to the Chiefs. There have been rumblings that Dell could miss most, if not all, of the 2025 season. In an effort to stabilize the wide receiver position following Dell's serious injury and the departure of Stefon Diggs in free agency, the Texans acquired Christian Kirk and then used second- and third-round picks on Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, respectively.
