Seahawks GM John Schneider said it is “way too early to tell” if LB Uchenna Nwosu will be placed on the physically unable to perform list to begin the season. (Source: Seattle Sports)

Fantasy Impact: Nwosu, who recently restructured his contract to remain with Seattle, underwent offseason surgery. He dealt with injuries for the majority of last season. His status for Week 1 next year is up in the air.

The Titans signed OLB Lorenzo Carter.

Fantasy Impact: Carter played in a depth role with the Falcons last season. He'll hold a rotational role for the Titans linebacker room.

Free agent DL Leki Fotu visited the Bills and Raiders.

Fantasy Impact: Fotu will likely hold a rotational role on the defensive line where ever he lands. He appeared in two games with the Jets last season.

Fantasy Impact: Agnew spent last season on the practice squad for the Steelers. He'll likely hold primarily a special teams role for Atlanta.

The Browns re-signed CB Tony Brown II.

Fantasy Impact: Brown will likely remain in primarily a special teams role for Cleveland.

Fantasy Impact: Jenkins spent three seasons as a starter for the Bears. The big knock on him has been staying healthy, but he should help out the offensive line for Cleveland if he can stay healthy.

The Steelers re-signed CB James Pierre to a one-year contract. (Source: Pittsburgh Steelers on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Pierre made a pair of starts across a total of 15 games played for Pittsburgh last season. He'll continue to remain in primarily a depth role in the secondary for the Steelers.

The Dolphins re-signed Benito Jones.

Fantasy Impact: Jones totaled 24 tackles across 15 starts last season with Mami. He will remain with the Dolphins in a similar or potentially larger role.

Jameis Winston has signed with the New York Giants on a two-year, $8 million deal that can be worth up to $16 million. (Source: Jordan Schultz on X)

Fantasy Impact: One of the most likable players in the NFL has found a home. Winston was a boon for the struggling pass catchers in Cleveland last year, and fantasy managers will hope he can do the same for the Giants. Malik Nabers, Darius Slayton, and Theo Johnson managers will rejoice. Even those who stuck it out with Jaylin Hyatt can have some hope. With the Giants signing Winston, should they go QB with the third overall pick, they can afford to let whoever they select sit behind Jameis for a year and let Jameis be the bridge QB.

Tyler Conklin has signed a one-year deal with the Chargers. (Source: Adam Schefter via X)

Fantasy Impact: Conklin ends his three year stint with the New York Jets. He had a bit of a down year in the yardage department in 2024, but got into the end zone four times after not scoring in 2023. He should give Justin Herbert a solid option at tight end in 2025 and be a TE2 option in fantasy.

WR Brandin Cooks is expected to sign with the Saints, per league sources. The 31-year-old, a 2014 first-rounder for New Orleans, returns after posting 26 catches for 259 yards in 10 games with the Cowboys in 2024. (Source: Mike Garafolo)

Fantasy Impact: Cooks’ 2024 fade—26 grabs, 259 yards—could flip with a Saints return alongside Chris Olave. His speed fits their attack, making him a WR3 stash with PPR potential if snaps pile up. At 31, consistency hinges on health and targets.

Aaron Rodgers arrived at the Steelers’ facility Friday, per local reports. The 41-year-old’s talks with Pittsburgh heat up as the Vikings stick with J.J. McCarthy, though no deal is close despite the team’s thin QB depth. (Source: Gerry Dulac)

Fantasy Impact: Rodgers landing in Pittsburgh could revive his fantasy stock, pairing him with DK Metcalf and George Pickens for QB1 upside. The Steelers’ lack of a starter beyond Mason Rudolph makes him a fit—age and health are the risks. He’s a mid-round watch until ink dries.

WR Michael Gallup signed with the Commanders on Thursday, per team reports. The 29-year-old, absent in 2024 after retiring last July, returns after a 34-catch, 418-yard 2023 with Dallas, bolstering a WR room led by Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel. (Source: Washington Commanders)

Fantasy Impact: Gallup’s 2024 hiatus and modest 2023 stats dim his fantasy shine, landing him in a crowded Washington depth chart. He’s a long-shot WR4 at best—experience with Dan Quinn might earn snaps, but volume’s scarce. PPR leagues won’t bite unless injuries clear a path.

WR Deebo Samuel locked in a revised one-year pact with the Commanders on Wednesday, netting 17 million dollars guaranteed and up to 3 million in incentives, per league sources. The 29-year-old looks to reset after a muted 2024 with the 49ers. (Source: Adam Schefter)

Fantasy Impact: Samuel’s 2024 dip—51 catches, 670 yards—faded his star, but Washington’s offense could unlock his dual-threat game. Pairing with Terry McLaurin, he’s a WR2 gamble with PPR juice if Kliff Kingsbury schemes him right. Injuries and age (29) cap his ceiling—health is key.

RB Julius Chestnut finalized a one-year deal with the Titans on Wednesday, per league sources. The 24-year-old notched 102 rushing yards on 22 attempts and 337 kick-return yards across 17 games in 2024, sticking with Tennessee in a familiar reserve and special teams role. (Source: Tom Pelissero)

Fantasy Impact: Chestnut’s 102 rushing yards in 2024 keep him buried on fantasy depth charts. His return yards only matter in niche formats—standard leagues won’t notice his backup gig.

Devin Duvernay sealed a one-year pact with the Bears on Wednesday, per league insiders. The 27-year-old, recently axed by Jacksonville to free up funds, played 13 games in 2024 and now steps into Chicago as a return ace with WR depth potential. (Source: Jordan Schultz)

Fantasy Impact: Duvernay’s return skills won’t lift his slim offensive role behind Chicago’s top wideouts. He’s a fantasy afterthought outside leagues counting return yards—standard formats can safely ignore his depth status.

DE Jalyn Holmes locked in a new deal with the Commanders on Wednesday, per league insiders. The 29-year-old bounced between squads in 2024, racking up 21 tackles and two sacks over a combined 19 outings, and looks poised to back up Washington’s defensive front next season. (Source: Washington Commanders)

Fantasy Impact: Holmes’ 2024 haul—21 tackles, two sacks—keeps him off most IDP radars. He’ll fill a reserve role in Washington, so only the deepest dynasty formats might care—redraft skips him unless the depth chart thins.
