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).

Restrepo is slated to sign with the Titans as an undrafted free agent, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Operating with No. 1 overall pick Cam Ward last season at Miami, Restrepo recorded 69 catches for 1,127 yards and 11 touchdowns in 12 games. With the effort, Restrepo surpassed Reggie Wayne for the most receiving yards (2,884) in school history and also set the all-time mark for receptions. At the combine, Rrestrepo measured in at 5-foot-10, 209 pounds, meaning he's likely destined for the slot in the NFL while reuniting with Ward in Tennessee.

The Lions picked up Hutchinson's (lower leg) fifth-year option Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Hutchinson is now under contract through 2026 and has a projected salary of $19.78 million in the fifth and final year of his rookie deal. The 2022 first-round pick continues to rehab and recover from a fractured tibia and fibula in his left leg that he suffered in Week 6 against the Cowboys, and he's expected to participate in OTAs and be fully healthy by the start of training camp in July.

The Saints selected Diggs in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 254th overall.

Diggs starred at the NFL Combine with a 4.57 40-yard dash at 6-foot-4, 257 pounds, adding to a formidable college resume where he posted 14.0 tackles for loss and 7.5 sacks across 12 games as a fifth-year senior at Syracuse. The Saints lack depth on the edge, but Diggs still needs to prove his coverage skills before he can be a dependable option. The 23-year-old projects as a situational blitzer for now.
