ESPN Dallas' Todd Archer reports that the Dallas Cowboys signed exclusive-rights free-agent safety Juanyeh Thomas and offensive guard/center Brock Hoffman to their tenders on Tuesday. Thomas will make $1.03 million in 2025, while Hoffman will make $1.1 million. Thomas doubled as a safety and kick returner in 2024 in his second year with Dallas, ultimately finishing with 14 tackles (10 solo) and a forced fumble while adding 187 kickoff-return yards and a touchdown in 13 games played. The 24-year-old went undrafted out of Georgia Tech before debuting in the NFL with the Cowboys in 2023. Hoffman, meanwhile, played in 17 games (seven starts) for the second straight season in 2024 in his third year with the team. With Zack Martin's retirement announcement, Hoffman could compete for the starting right-guard spot this summer at training camp.

The Dallas Cowboys and defensive tackle Osa Odighizuwa agreed on a four-year, $80 million deal on Tuesday that includes $58 million guaranteed and a $20 million signing bonus, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. Agent Sam Leaf Ireifej negotiated the deal. The 26-year-old former third-round pick (75th overall) in 2021 out of UCLA was able to work out an extension with the Cowboys, so Dallas was able to avoid placing the franchise tag on him. In his first four years in the NFL, he ha recorded 172 tackles (99 solo), 13.5 sacks, 28 tackles for loss, 58 QB hits and two forced fumbles in 67 games (63 starts). Odighizuwa's best season came in 2024, where he compiled career-highs in tackles (47), sacks (4.5) and QB hits (23) in 17 starts. The Cowboys will now turn to working on an extension with All-Pro pass-rusher Micah Parsons, who is in line to become one of the highest-paid defensive players in the league.

The Green Bay Packers agreed to re-sign kicker Brandon McManus on Tuesday to a three-year, $15.3 million deal, including a $5 million signing bonus, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The deal was negotiated by Drew and Jason Rosenhaus. McManus joined the Packers midway through the 2024 and helped stabilize a position that had been a headache for the team ever since Mason Crosby left. The 33-year-old veteran made 20 of his 21 field-goal attempts, including all three from 50-plus yards out, and all 30 of his extra-point tries in 11 regular-season games. In the wild-card game loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, he made one of his two field goals and his only point-after attempt. Given the upside of Green Bay's offense with quarterback Jordan Love, McManus should enter the 2025 season as a fringe top-12 fantasy option, at worst.

ESPN's Dan Graziano targets Louisville quarterback Tyler Shough as a name to watch as a potential riser ahead of April's NFL draft. Scouts are in love with his ability and instincts. Shough broke his collarbone and his ankle in separate seasons at Texas Tech, but those injuries were more bad luck than chronic conditions. The biggest knock on him is the fact that he'll be turning 26 years old in September, which means he'll be almost 30 when his rookie contract is up. It's one of the big reasons that Shough hasn't gotten much buzz in what is considered a weak QB class in 2025, but he could be a sleeper to watch on Day 2 or 3 of the draft. He is ranked as Mel Kiper Jr.'s eighth-best QB in this year's class and possesses a live arm as a pocket passer. The 25-year-old also plays with good vision, but he has been inconsistent and struggles with pressure.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts was selected fourth overall in 2021 and had 1,026 receiving yards in his first year in the NFL, but since then, he's been an enigma and has left fantasy managers and the Falcons wanting more. He finished last year as the team's fifth-leading receiver with 47 catches for 602 yards and four touchdowns, and since entering the league, Pitts is fifth among all TEs in receiving yards (2,651) and 23rd in touchdowns (10). "He's shown some spurts of greatness, and he's shown some things that (make you) desire more. We'll try to get the best out of him at all times. That's our job as coaches," head coach Raheem Morris said. The 24-year-old will be making $10.87 million on his fifth-year option in 2025, and all signs point to this being his final year in Atlanta unless he can improve his production. In fantasy, he'll come cheap as a low-end TE1/high-end TE2 after yet another disappointing season.

Atlanta Falcons head coach Raheem Morris and general manager Terry Fontenot stopped short of saying that veteran defensive end Grady Jarrett would definitely be back with the team in 2025. Jarrett, David Onyemata and Eddie Goldman -- the three defensive linemen who played the most defensive snaps last year -- will all be 31 or 32 in 2025, which is why The Athletic's Josh Kendall writes the Falcons need to get younger on the D-line. Jarrett is heading into the final season of a three-year extension he signed in 2022. He will count $20.37 million against the 2025 salary cap, but the Falcons would only have a $4.1 million dead-cap hit if they cut him while saving $16.2 million on the cap. With the Falcons $5.3 million over the cap, they will surely be moving on from some veterans. Jarrett has meant a lot to the Falcons and has become the face of the franchise, but he had only 2.5 sacks and 12 QB hits in 2024.

University of Colorado wide receiver/cornerback Travis Hunter will have a top-30 visit to the Cleveland Browns facility this week, a source tells The Cleveland Plain Dealer's Mary Kay Cabot. The Browns will also have top-30 visits with Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, University of Miami quarterback Cam Ward and Penn State defensive end Abdul Carter this week as they make preparations for the upcoming NFL draft in April in which they hold the No. 2 overall pick. All four of these players are in play for the first couple picks of this year's draft, but with Deshaun Watson (Achilles) potentially missing all of the 2025 season, most pundits believes it's almost a sure thing that the Browns will go with either Ward or Sanders, the top-two prospects in this year's class. Ideally for Cleveland, they'll have their pick of either Ward and Sanders at No. 2. Even if they take a QB at No. 2, they could pair him with a veteran QB in 2025.

Dynasty | The Jets have released wide receiver Davante Adams. Dynasty Analysis: This was always the most likely scenario after the Jets decided to move on from Aaron Rodgers. Adams will immediately become the best receiver on the open market and will have control over choosing who he'll play for next season. He's rumored to be interested in playing on the West Coast, with teams like the 49ers, Rams, and Chargers on his list. He'll also likely wait to see just what happens with Aaron Rodgers before making a choice. He's still a productive player and should still be a WR1/2 next season, regardless of where he lands and his dynasty value shouldn't crater too much with this move. On the plus side, you may be able to return those Davante Adams Jets jerseys.

Dynasty | The Jets have granted wide receiver Allen Lazard permission to seek a trade. Dynasty Analysis: Lazard was always tied to Aaron Rodgers and while the Jets are saying the right things in terms of possibly bringing him back, that seems a little unlikely at the moment. He could fetch a late round pick swap at this point in his career, but is more likely to be released to join Rodgers at his latest stop. Lazard is no more than a roster clogger on dynasty rosters and has minimal dynasty value.

Pittsburgh Steelers LB T.J. Watt could receive a contract extension sooner than later to help create cap space and allow the team to get ahead of the financial ramifications of massive contracts for Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett and Dallas Cowboys LB Micah Parsons.

New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner is expected to reset the cornerback market as the highest-paid player because the two-time All-Pro is arguably the league's best shutdown cornerback, sources told SNY's Connor Hughes. The Jets will also likely consider an extension for wide receiver Garrett Wilson soon, but sources agreed that Gardner's new deal is far simpler. Additionally, Hughes got the sense at this year's NFL Combine in Indianapolis that the new Jets regime of general manager Darren Mougey and head coach Aaron Glenn are much more open to the idea of extending players after three years than former GM Joe Douglas was. Sources think that any extensions that Mougey and Glenn reward players with will be fair and to market value, assuming the organization has the financial means to pull it off. Gardner, the former fourth overall pick, had a career-low 49 tackles (36 solo), one sack and an interception in 15 starts in 2024.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR George Pickens is not expected to be available via trade, according to sources, and the organization views any additions at the position as complementary to him. It is believed the Steelers will not add any wide receiver salaries without settling the quarterback position first, but addressing the position will be a top priority. Pittsburgh could pursue Denver Broncos WR Courtland Sutton via trade if contract talks with Denver break down, sources said. Last year, the Steelers showed interest in Jacksonville Jaguars WR Christian Kirk and WR Darius Slayton (Giants) at the trade deadline, and both could be in play again provided Kirk is released, in the opinion of PennLive's Nick Farabaugh.

Dynasty | The Eagles have signed running back Saquon Barkley to an extension. Dynasty Analysis: It's a two-year, $41.2 million contract with $36 million guaranteed. He now becomes the highest-paid running back and first ever to make more than $20 million per season. Many others will attempt to use this as a barometer of their own value, but Barkley proved he was in a tier of his own last season with 2,005 rushing yards in just 16 games. Fresh off a Super Bowl win, he's the ultimate trade target for a contending team as he's aging, but still capable of being the overall RB1 next season.

Dynasty | Quarterback Sam Darnold avoided the franchise tag from Minnesota and will become a free agent. Dynasty Analysis: This always looked like the most likely scenario. Still, the Vikings are risking him finding greener pastures elsewhere after he proved he can (and should) be a starter in the NFL last season. After posting 4,319 passing yards with 35 touchdowns and 12 interceptions, Darnold will have a market with teams like Pittsburgh, Las Vegas, the Giants, and maybe even the Jets interested in his services. The Vikings are also working hard to get him back into the fold as well. Darnold should be a QB2 next season at worst and the best scenario for dynasty managers is honestly to see him move on instead of being threatened by JJ McCarthy in Minnesota.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are expected to target cornerback early in free agency this offseason, team sources told Penn Live's Nick Farabaugh. Specifically, the Steelers are expected to pursue Nate Hobbs, who has a lot of experience with new defensive backs coach Gerald Alexander from their time together with the Las Vegas Raiders. Other names tossed around by sources at the NFL Combine last week that could be pursued by the Steelers include D.J. Reed, Carlton Davis, and Charvarius Ward. The Steelers are also leaving the door open for Donte Jackson to return, but it's not a priority with free agency right around the corner. In addition to a strong crop of free-agent cornerbacks, the Steelers could also look to address the position through the draft.

One of the Pittsburgh Steelers' top priorities this offseason will be adding a wide receiver, and Penn Live's Nick Farabaugh writes that a new receiver is expected to complement George Pickens instead of replacing him. Sources have talked down the idea of the Steelers trading Pickens despite his maturity issues in 2024. Pittsburgh will exhaust every avenue once again as they look to add a receiver, with sources pointing to the trade market as a likely avenue. However, the team doesn't play to make any moves at the position until they know who will be starting at quarterback. If the Denver Broncos' talks on a long-term extension with receiver Courtland Sutton break down, the Steelers will be aggressive in trying to trade for him. Farabaugh also expects the Steelers to circle back to Darius Slayton and Christian Kirk, two wideouts that the team was interested in at last year's trade deadline.

Sources told Penn Live's Nick Farabaugh at the NFL Combine last week that the Pittsburgh Steelers are unlikely to re-sign Najee Harris because they will be unwilling to match the $8-10 million per year he's expected to get on the open market. Harris is expected to have a strong market in what is a weak RB class in free agency, and the Las Vegas Raiders could be his biggest suitor. Meanwhile, fellow RB Jaylen Warren is a restricted free agent, but the team has already said they will tender him an offer and there is a desire within the organization to start contract talks with Warren this summer on a long-term extension. Harris, 26, has started all 68 games for the Steelers in his first four seasons in the NFL and has also exceeded 1,000 yards rushing all four years. A move to a team like Vegas with questions at QB could make Harris even less attractive as an RB2 in fantasy, while Warren's stock will improve if Harris leaves.

Bengals beat writer Geoff Hobson gets the sense that the Cincinnati Bengals are looking to go bigger for a complement to lead back Chase Brown this offseason with Zack Moss' (neck) status unclear. Brown played big as a three-down back in 2024 after Moss' injury and racked up an impressive 1,350 scrimmage yards on 283 touches while also protecting quarterback Joe Burrow, but offensive coordinator Dan Pitcher wouldn't mind another big and physical back to help Brown out. "The easy answer is Chase isn't the biggest guy, so maybe if you have an opportunity to add a bigger back with a little more power repertoire to his game, that size helps you in protection," Pitcher said. The 24-year-old Brown finished as the RB12 in half-PPR scoring in 2024 thanks to his workhorse role, and although he should remain the lead back in a high-scoring offense, fantasy managers should expect some regression.

The Minnesota Vikings officially did not place the franchise tag on impending free-agent quarterback Sam Darnold by Tuesday's deadline, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. However, the two sides will continue to work towards a deal that is best for both sides. Although the 27-year-old could return to Minnesota after a career year in 2024, it's probably only likely to happen if his market in free agency isn't as robust as expected. The bottom line is that the Vikings don't want to hold back last year's first-rounder J.J. McCarthy (knee) and would probably prefer to bring Daniel Jones back as an insurance policy at a much cheaper cost. After the Los Angeles Rams restructured QB Matthew Stafford's contract, Darnold is the top available signal-caller, with his most likely landing spots being the Las Vegas Raiders and New York Giants. For fantasy purposes, obviously staying in Minnesota as the starter would be the most ideal for Darnold.

The Seattle Seahawks released outside linebacker Dre'Mont Jones, offensive tackle George Fan, safety Rayshawn Jenkins and defensive tackle Roy Robertson-Harris on Tuesday. Jones appeared in all 34 games in his two years in Seattle, although he took a big step back in 2024 with only four sacks, his lowest total since his rookie season in 2019. The 28-year-old started in only seven games last year and had 8.5 sacks, 77 tackles (12 for loss) and 25 QB hits in his time with the Seahawks. Fant, 32, spent most of the year on Injured Reserve in 2024 with a knee injury and only started in two games. Jenkins, 31, lost his starting job to Coby Bryant halfway through last year, which makes it no surprise that he's getting cut. Robertson-Harris, 31, was acquired in a trade last year with the Jaguars and had only 13 combined tackles in 11 games with the Seahawks.
