Former Rams and Panthers safety Jordan Fuller is planning to sign with the #Falcons, a source confirmed with ESPN. First reported by @TomPelissero

A reworked deal for Deebo in DC: the Commanders are guaranteeing $17 million of Deebo Samuel’s previously non-guaranteed salary for this season, along with adding another $3 million worth of incentives, per sources. Samuel now will play this season on a one-year deal worth up to $20 million, including $17 million guaranteed. Samuel’s agent Tory Dandy and Commanders GM Adam Peters negotiated the deal.

RB Rico Dowdle reveals why he signed with Panthers "That's something you look at, at the offensive line, evaluate it like, 'OK, yeah, those guys are doing that, you know, they're pretty good,'" Dowdle said. "So when I knew I was coming here, I started doing my research and stuff on the O-line, seeing all the positive on it and how they've built it up these past couple years. So definitely was intriguing to see. "With those guys up front, I've watched a little bit of film already, and those guys, they pretty much run mid-zone, similar to what—we ran outside-zone in Dallas." https://pantherswire-eu.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/panthers/2025/03/19/nfl-free-agency-rico-dowdle-panthers/82541784007/

Saints WR Cedrick Wilson reworked his contract, cutting his 2025 base salary from $3.4 million to the minimum of $1.17 million. His new cap number is $1.67 million. He previously counted $3.4 million against the cap. It still voids in 2026.

And there have been many players that don't come back as the same player after multiple injuries. If you don't want to completely say he is a bust, sure I can agree with that. But it is definitely trending in that direction. We will be in year 3 of his rookie contract when he sees the field again. Year 3 after two major injuries. Im not gonna ask if you resign him, because yes it is too early for that talk, but it isn't trending towards a second contract for him. But yes the jury is still technically out on him. Could he still have a successful career, yeah sure he could. Do i expect him to have a successful career with us, im not so sure. Conclusion: We will see, but it's trending towards a bad pick/bust territory.

Nick Emmanwori wants to join his old college teammates on the Carolina Panthers "Always, man. X [Xavier Legette] and Jaycee [Horn] was my guys. Talk to them almost every other week, every month. The Panthers, man, they have a huge impact on us out here. They just got Rico Dowdle, so they've got a real Gamecock squad over there. And hopefully, they come and pick me up too. That'd be cool." https://x.com/mike_e_kaye/status/1902041331146383408?ref_src=twsrc^tfw|twcamp^tweetembed|twterm^1902041331146383408|twgr^a5778bd811e03bece8f99a624e05c69e8fd36b81|twcon^s1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fcatcrave.com%2Fstandout-draft-prospect-issues-emphatic-come-and-get-me-plea-carolina-panthers

Many would and will call it a mistake. Were they sort of right in thinking to get ahead of the ball and select a RB last draft, sure. Did they take the right guy in the right spot, no. Regardless of bad luck being involved, it was a bad pick.

Sources: Vikings to roll with McCarthy, not pursuing Rodgers The Minnesota Vikings are moving past their discussions with free agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers, leaving second-year player J.J. McCarthy atop the quarterback depth chart as offseason practices approach, sources told ESPN. The Vikings spent the better part of a week considering their options after Rodgers made clear he preferred to sign with the team, sources have said. Their internal deliberations intensified after 2024 starter Sam Darnold signed with the Seattle Seahawks and free agent Daniel Jones, whom the Vikings envisioned as a veteran wingman for McCarthy, rejected their contract offer and signed instead with the Indianapolis Colts.

Free agent WR Rondale Moore visited the Jets today.

Mecole Hardman, a veteran wide receiver and return specialist, is signing with the Green Bay Packers on a one-year deal, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. He's not the No. 1 receiver the Packers might be lacking, but Hardman does replace the kind of speed Green Bay will be without until Christian Watson returns from his torn ACL. Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst said recently that the team is preparing to be without Watson, who was injured in the regular-season finale, for the early portion of the season. Hardman, 27, has spent most of his six NFL seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs after being drafted by the team in the second round in 2019.

Brandon Graham, who played 15 seasons in Philadelphia and became the longest-tenured Eagle in franchise history, announced his retirement from the NFL. Graham returned from a torn triceps muscle to play in the Super Bowl and help the Eagles win their second Super Bowl in what turned out to be the final game of his NFL career.

Eagles standout offensive tackle Lane Johnson reworked his contract to add $8 million dollars over the next two years and an additional $30 million in guarantees, his agent, Ken Sarnoff, told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Johnson added one year at $25 million to his deal, and he is now under contract through the 2027 season.

The Seahawks are bringing in veteran receiver Michael Gallup for a free-agent visit, as @AaronWilson_NFL said. The 29-year-old Gallup, who had 3,744 receiving yards and 21 touchdowns over six season with Dallas, retired last summer after joining the Raiders.

Free agent pass rusher Azeez Ojulari is signing with the Philadelphia Eagles on a one-year, $4 million deal, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler on Monday.

The Pittsburgh Steelers and safety Juan Thornhill have reached agreement on a one-year deal, sources confirmed to ESPN.

Jameis Winston visiting with the Giants With Aaron Rodgers still undecided about his future, the Giants have been busy bringing in veteran quarterbacks. First, they met with Joe Flacco last week, and now, they're visiting with Jameis. We've got more on his visit here. Winston to the Giants would definitely be an interesting pairing.

According to ESPN NFL draft and college football analyst Jordan Reid, Jalon Walker sustained a quad strain during training and is not expected to participate in Georgia's upcoming pro day on Wednesday, March 12. The Salisbury, N.C. native, per Reid, is planning to hold a private workout for NFL teams on April 17.
