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.

Prieskorn is slated to sign with the Lions as an undrafted free agent, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.

Prieskorn didn't hear his name called during the 2025 NFL Draft but does have a path toward a roster spot in Detroit should he end up signing there. He was a flex tight end during his two years as a starter at Ole Miss, accumulating 57 catches for 850 yards and seven touchdowns in 23 games. Prieskorn lacks the speed to separate from defenders in the passing game, but he makes up for it with his physicality, run-blocking ability and hand-eye coordination.

Johnson is slated to sign with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.

Johnson played for Florida for the past three seasons, and 2022 was arguably his most productive year, as he finished with 155 carries for 841 yards and 10 touchdowns while adding 12 catches for 58 yards and another score. He runs physically through defenders and isn't shy to work between the tackles, but his lack of production as a pass-catching back could limit his trajectory at the NFL level. Assuming he signs with the Eagles, Johnson would compete for a depth spot at running back behind Saquon Barkley, Will Shipley and AJ Dillon.

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

Yarns didn't hear his name called during the 2025 NFL Draft, but he appears to have a path to earn a spot on the Saints' 53-man roster for the upcoming regular season. He was named to the First Team All-CAA roster in his final season in Delaware despite missing two games due to a leg injury, and he finished the 2024 campaign with 133 carries for 844 yards and six touchdowns while adding 17 catches for 297 yards and five scores. Edwards struggles to brush off contact within the tackles, but he's a strong outside runner in the open field and brings versatility as a pass catcher out of the backfield.

Edwards is slated to sign with the Jets as an undrafted free agent, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Edwards spent his four-year college career with Michigan. His best season came in 2022, when he rushed for 991 yards and seven touchdowns on 140 carries while adding 18 catches for 200 yards and two touchdowns. Once viewed as a potential top-100 pick, Edwards saw his YPC dip from 7.1 in 2022 to 4.4 over the 2023-24 seasons. He displayed a lack of patience while manoeuvring around the trenches, but his quickness and pass-catching ability give him a chance at cracking the Jets' 53-man roster. If the signing is official, Edwards will use OTAs and training camp to compete with Isaiah Davis, Kene Nwangwu and Zach Evans for a depth spot in the running back room behind Breece Hall and Braelon Allen.

Alexander (knee) participated in the Packers' virtual offseason program this past week, Wes Hodkiewicz of the team's official site reports.

There were discussions within the Packers' organization during the offseason about trading Alexander, but the two-time Pro Bowl corner is still on Green Bay's roster following the conclusion of the 2025 NFL Draft. General manager Brian Gutekunst told reporters Saturday that Alexander "[is] still on our roster right now...we'll figure that out as we go along." Injuries have limited Alexander to 14 regular-season games over the past two years, and he's currently working through a knee injury that caused him to miss the Packers' final eight games of 2024 (including playoffs) and required surgery in late December.

Uiagalelei is slated to sign with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

Uiagalelei finished his five-year college career in Florida State in 2024 after transferring from Clemson. He completed 53.8 percent of his passes for 1,065 yards, four touchdowns and six interceptions in five games for the Seminoles before suffering a season-ending injury to his right hand. Uiagalelei will have the opportunity to compete against Taylor Heinicke and Trey Lance for the Chargers' backup quarterback role behind Justin Herbert during OTAs and training camp.

Nash is slated to sign with the Falcons as an undrafted free agent, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

Nash spent seven seasons with San Jose State, and in 2022 he transitioned from quarterback to wide receiver. The move proved to be the right decision, and in 2024 he was named Consensus All-American and to the First Team All-MWC after recording 104 catches for 1,382 yards and an FBS-leading 16 touchdowns in 12 games. If Nash does in fact sign with the Falcons, he'll look to establish himself as the go-to option out of the slot for quarterback Michael Penix.

Executive Vice President Stephen Jones said Saturday that Revel (knee) will begin training camp on the PUP list, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Revel was taken by the Cowboys in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, though he could have been selected much sooner had it not been for a torn ACL injury that he suffered in November. Revel's chances of being active for Week 1 appear to be slim, but he should be cleared to play during the first half of the 2025 regular season.

General manager Joe Schoen said Thursday that the Giants will pick up Thibodeaux's fifth-year option, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

Thibodeaux will be with the Giants through the 2026 season and will collect $14.75 million in the fifth year of his rookie deal. The 2022 first-round pick missed five games in 2024 due to a wrist injury and finished the regular season with 28 tackles (14 solo), including 5.5 sacks, two pass defenses and one forced fumble in 12 games. Thibodeaux will be part of a formidable defensive front consisting of Brian Burns, Dexter Lawrence (elbow) and 2025 third-overall pick Abdul Carter (foot).
