  • Nate Sudfeld QB | DET

    Lions' Nate Sudfeld: Remains in Detroit

    Sudfeld (knee) re-signed with the Lions on Wednesday.

    Sudfeld missed all of last year after suffering a torn ACL in a preseason game against the Panthers. The 30-year-old operated as the team's backup quarterback to Jared Goff in 2022, and was competing with Teddy Bridgewater for that role last season before his injury. If he can make the Lions roster in 2024, he'll likely be the No. 3 option with Hendon Hooker behind Goff.

  • Panthers' Jadeveon Clowney: Fortifies Carolina's pass rush

    Clowney has agreed to terms with the Panthers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Per Rapoport, Clowney's deal with Carolina is for two years and $20 million, with a maximum value of $24 million. During his lone campaign with the Ravens, Clowney finished the 2023 regular season with 43 tackles and 9.5 sacks over the course 17 games. By adding the top pick in the 2014 NFL Draft to the defensive mix, the Panthers will bolster a pass rushing unit that's looking to make up for the recent trade of Brian Burns to the Giants.

  • Sam Franklin SAF | CAR

    Panthers' Sam Franklin: Returns to Carolina

    The Panthers re-signed Franklin to a one-year contract Wednesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Franklin suited up for all 17 regular-season games with Carolina last season, finishing with 30 tackles (20 solo) and three passes defended, including an interception which he returned for a 99-yard touchdown against the Vikings in Week 4. He also played 310 snaps on special teams.

  • Neville Hewitt LB | HOU

    Texans' Neville Hewitt: Back with Houston

    The Texans re-signed Hewitt to a one-year contract Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Hewitt led the NFL in special-teams tackles last season, while suiting up for 16 regular-season games. He played a career-high 358 snaps on special teams but just four defensive snaps, and as such holds little to no fantasy value in IDP formats.

  • Josh Reynolds WR | DEN

    Broncos' Josh Reynolds: Joining Denver's WR corps

    Reynolds agreed Wednesday with the Broncos on a two-year contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Per Garafolo, Reynolds' deal with Denver is worth a maximum of $14 million. The wideout, who turned 29 years old last month, is coming off a 2023 campaign in which he caught 40 of his 64 targets for 608 yards and five touchdowns in 17 regular-season contests for Detroit. With the Broncos, Reynolds will help fill the void created by the recent trade of Jerry Jeudy to the Browns. Reynolds will have a chance to compete with Tim Patrick (Achilles) and Marvin Mims for targets behind No. 1 wideout Courtland Sutton.

  • Jalyn Holmes DT | NYJ

    Jets' Jalyn Holmes: Re-ups with Jets

    New York re-signed Holmes on Wednesday, John Pullano of the team's official site reports.

    Holmes tallied five tackles and one sack across five appearances with the Jets last season, though his first defensive snaps came Week 18. He'll get another chance to compete for a third-string defensive end role this offseason.

  • 49ers' Talanoa Hufanga: Expected back during training camp

    Hufanga (knee) is expected to return to the mix "sometime in training camp," according to coach Kyle Shanahan, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

    Hufanga tore his ACL during Week 11 action last season, so look for the safety to work his way back gradually once he resumes on-field activities. Prior to sustaining his injury, the 2021 fifth-rounder had recorded 52 tackles and three picks in 10 regular-season contests. Once Hufanga is fully recovered, he'll have an opportunity to reclaim his role as the 49ers' starting strong safety.

  • Bills' Connor McGovern: Ready for starting role

    General manager Brandon Beane revealed Sunday that McGovern is in line to take over as the starting center in 2024, Patrick Warren of the Bills' official site reports. "Connor has welcomed the opportunity and he'll get his chance once we start lining up," Beane said.

    The Bills released longtime starter Mitch Morse earlier this month, and Morse signed with the Jaguars less than a week later. McGovern started at left guard last season, but the plan as stated by Beane would involve moving David Edwards from a reserve role into McGovern's old position.

  • Rams' Tre'Davious White: L.A. bound

    White (Achilles) is expected to sign a one-year, $8.5 million contract with the Rams, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    After spending his first seven years in Buffalo, White is traveling cross country for a fresh start in Los Angeles. Injuries have cut his previous two seasons short, including a torn Achilles on Oct. 1 of last season. It remains to be seen if he will be ready for the start of the 2024 campaign, but the 29-year-old projects to start at cornerback once his health allows it.

  • J.K. Dobbins RB | BAL

    J.K. Dobbins: Cleared for football activities

    Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Neal ElAttrache wrote in a letter to NFL teams Tuesday that Dobbins (Achilles) has received clearance to take part in football activities, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Dobbins underwent surgery for a torn left Achilles on Sept. 15, and he's a little less than seven months removed from his injury. The running back posted a video in late February of him running on turf and then a treadmill, so it would appear he's ready to take the next steps in his recovery. Since the Ravens selected him in the second round of the 2020 Draft, Dobbins has been dynamic when available, averaging a robust 5.8 yards per carry with 12 touchdowns in his 234 rushes over 24 games. However, his medical chart includes a torn ACL in addition to the aforementioned Achilles injury, so he may have to settle for a prove-it deal wherever he ends up. Dobbins is expected to begin visiting teams in the near future.
