2025 NFL Draft prospect Travis Hunter, who played both wide receiver and cornerback at Colorado and Jackson State, is set to attend the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine as a participant in the defensive back group. (Source: NFL.com)

Fantasy Impact: Hunter excelled at both positions at Colorado, recording 1,258 yards and 15 touchdowns with four interceptions and 11 passes defended in 2024. He played both positions full-time, and while he insists he plans to do the same in the NFL, people remain skeptical about the practicality. However, some believe his best position at the NFL level is as a DB first who plays some on offense. His designation at the NFL Combine could be an indication of this, as he may be attending as a DB after receiving feedback from league circles.

Buffalo Bills RB James Cook indicated on an Instagram Live stream what he was looking for in an extension, pinning his comment "15 mill year" on his Wednesday, Feb. 12 live stream. (Source: Ryan Miller, Rochester Democrat and Chronicle)

Fantasy Impact: Cook followed up on X (formerly known as Twitter) later, and his brother Dalvin Cook had been advocating for the Bills RB's extension price tag throughout the NFL playoffs on X. At $15 million per year, the former Georgia back would slot just ahead of Jonathan Taylor ($14 million AAV), behind only Christian McCaffrey ($19 million AAV). Cook enters 2025 on the final year of his rookie deal, making $5.142 million in base salary.

The New York Jets are moving on from veteran QB Aaron Rodgers, officially informing him that they plan to move forward elsewhere. Rodgers will likely be a post-June 1 cut, per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Moving on from Rodgers will lead to a dead cap hit, but by releasing him post-June 1, New York can spread that cap hit between 2025 and 2026. Currently, the Jets don't have much of a plan at QB (Tyrod Taylor and Jordan Travis), so they could either end up as players in the veteran market or in the 2025 NFL Draft. As well, it seems likely that Davante Adams could be on the chopping block as well, among other players.

Fantasy Impact: Kelce had hinted towards retiring prior to the Super Bowl, but it is possible the result of the game will lead to him returning for at least one more season. “I think I can play, it’s just whether or not I’m motivated or it’s the best decision for me as a man, as a human, as a person to take on all that responsibility," Kelce said. This will remain a situation to monitor.

Fantasy Impact: Lockett is coming off a down season and due a $30.8 million cap figure in 2025. He will likely be released to open $17 million against the salary cap. The question becomes if he re-signs with the Seahawks on a new deal or heads elsewhere. Lockett has also been linked to the Raiders and Pete Carroll.

Carolina could also be in the market for a running back this offseason, but likely for depth purposes.

Cincinnati Bengals linebacker Germaine Pratt requested a trade from the team following its 9-8 season in 2024. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Bengals fired defensive coordinator Lou Anarumo following the 2024 season, bringing in Notre Dame's Al Golden instead. This could be a factor in Pratt's request, as he excelled statistically in Anarumo's system (142 tackles in 2024, 90+ tackles for four seasons, and 2+ interceptions for three seasons). However, on a down-to-down basis, he has struggled a bit defensively since his strong 2022 campaign.

Given QB Derek Carr's contract, ESPN's Adam Schefter said that the veteran "probably will be the [New Orleans Saints'] QB1 entering 2025" as moving on from him would only free up a couple million dollars. (Source: Adam Schefter, ESPN)

Fantasy Impact: While the Saints desperately need to make changes to be cap-compliant for the 2025 season, Carr is likely the least of the team's worries. There will need to be shavings made all across the roster, and to some degree, the 2025 season might have to be a throwaway for New Orleans to become cap-healthy in the future. It remains to be seen if the Saints will keep Carr, but it would not provide much benefit to move on from the veteran QB who was relatively good when healthy in 2024. If they do, it could be Spencer Rattler or Jake Haener under center in 2025.

Minnesota Vikings WR Jordan Addison filed for continuance of his DUI case, with a pretrial hearing scheduled for March 12, according to Ben Goessling of The Minnesota Star Tribune. (Source: Ben Goessling on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Addison's case stems from a July 2024 incident where he was charged with DUI. There were some questions about whether Addison would face a suspension to open the 2024 season, but nothing came with the case still going through the legal process. It remains to be seen if Addison will face one in 2025, though it likely will not be decided until the legal proceedings are done given the league's propensity to wait.
