The Giants are declining Neal's (ribs/hip) fifth-year option, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Neal has struggled at right tackle since being drafted 7th overall by the Giants leading to him being benched prior to the start of the 2024 campaign. He was dealing with a hip and ribs injuries at the end of last season, and the team could potentially switch him to guard in hopes of revitalizing his career.

The Cowboys are picking up Smith's fifth-year option, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

The 24th pick of the 2022 NFL Draft will now be tied to the Cowboys through the 2026 season. Smith has only missed four games across his three-year career and will now be paired with rookie first-round pick Tyler Booker at guard.

Klotz signed with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent.

Klotz caught just 15 passes for 149 yards and two touchdowns across his four seasons at Iowa State, where he began as a linebacker and switched to tight end during his sophomore season. He'll need to prove himself as a run blocker to make the 53-man roster out of training camp.

Sanders signed with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent.

Sanders started out at Arkansas as a wide receiver but moved to running back as a sophomore and quickly found his groove, piling up 1,443 yards and 10 touchdowns on the ground. His production cooled off during his senior season at South Carolina, where he posted 881 yards and 11 touchdowns on 183 carries (4.81 YPC) in addition to 27 receptions for 316 yards and two scores. Sanders joins a crowded backfield with no clear No. 3 option behind Najee Harris and first-round pick Omarion Hampton, providing a viable path to a roster spot in Los Angeles.

Mustapha may miss the beginning of the 2025 season due to a knee injury he suffered in Week 17 last year, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.

Mustapha underwent surgery to repair a torn graft in his knee after he was cleated in the final regular-season game of his rookie campaign. The Wake Forest product tore his ACL back in 2022, and these two injuries were related. Mustapha started 12 regular-season games as a rookie and posted 72 tackles (32 solo), five pass breakups and an interception. The 49ers are hoping for a midseason return, at which point he'll look to reclaim the starting role. In the meantime, Richie Grant and Jason Pinnock are candidates to start at strong safety.

Dippre is slated to sign with the Patriots as an undrafted free agent, Mark Daniels of MassLive.com reports.

Dippre posted 757 yards and three touchdowns across his final three college seasons between Maryland and Alabama. He's considered a strong run blocker while being a willing special-teams contributor. Dippre will lean on both of those traits as he aims to earn a roster spot through training camp.

Yurosek signed with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent.

Yurosek is a solid athlete out of Georgia, as he ran a 4.64 40-yard dash at 6-foot-4, 245 pounds. He features an 81-inch wingspan, too. The California native put together two solid seasons as a receiver at Stanford, but he never reached those levels again, especially in his fifth year when he caught just 15 passes for 185 yards and no scores at Georgia. His best path to a roster spot is as a run-blocking tight end.

Stewart signed with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent.

Stewart spent four seasons at Division II Limestone before leaping to Division I Jacksonville State for his final college season. The 22-year-old running back didn't miss a beat, contributing immediately with 1,638 yards and 25 touchdowns on 278 carries (5.9 YPC) in addition to 18 receptions for 234 yards and a score. Stewart is a bit smaller (5-foot-9, 192 pounds) and doesn't have standout speed (4.50 40-yard dash), but he's an effective runner that held up with a high workload. He'll aim to carve out a depth role in Minnesota.

Brosmer is signed with the Vikings as an undrafted free agent.

Brosmer played five seasons at New Hampshire before transferring to Minnesota for his final season. The 24-year-old quarterback put together an adequate campaign, completing 66.5 percent of his passes for 2,828 yards, 18 touchdowns and six interceptions. He doesn't offer much as a runner, and he'll look to prove himself in training camp and earn the No. 3 role behind J.J. McCarthy and Sam Howell.

Badger is slated to sign with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent, John Hendrix of AthlonSports.com reports.

Badger spent the first three years of his college career with Arizona before transferring to Florida in 2024, and he finished his senior year with 39 catches for 806 yards and four touchdowns in 12 games. His route running and awareness needs polishing at the NFL level, but he was a reliable target in college and was able to utilize his 6-foot-1 frame to effectively move the chains for the Gators offense. If he signs with the Chiefs, Bader will compete for a depth role at wide receiver behind Xavier Worthy, Rashee Rice (knee), Hollywood Brown and rookie fourth-round pick Jalen Royals.
