Free-agent quarterback Russell Wilson remains on the New York Giants' radar despite the fact that the team signed veteran QB Jameis Winston this week, according to multiple sources. Winston was specifically signed to be the backup signal-caller in New York (he received $4 million per year), so Wilson should not be ruled out. The sources also said the Giants technically are also still in the mix for free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers, but that it currently "seems unlikely" he'll go there. Even if the G-Men also sign Wilson, it won't rule them out from taking a rookie quarterback in this year's NFL draft -- the Giants have the No. 3 overall pick and have been rumored to be keen on trading up to No. 1 overall. The 36-year-old Wilson has visited both the Giants and Browns, and he could still be an option to re-sign with the Steelers if Rodgers decides to retire. Wilson could mesh nicely with Malik Nabers in New York, but he'd be a low-end QB2 in fantasy if he signs with the Giants.

Safety Nick Scott has signed a one-year deal with the Carolina Panthers, per ESPN's Adam Schefter. The financial details have not yet been disclosed. Scott spent four seasons with the Rams after they took him in the seventh round of the 2019 NFL Draft, with his best statistical season coming in 2022 -- an 83-tackle campaign with two interceptions in 17 games. His production dipped during a 2023 stint with the Bengals, and a season ago, accrued 26 takedowns in ten games (four starts) with neck and hamstring injuries. The Penn State alum is currently listed behind teammates Tre'von Moehrig and Demani Richardson on the team's unofficial depth chart, but it's worth noting he notched at least five tackles in five straight outings before picking up the hamstring ailment.

The NFL's Ian Rapoport reports that the Houston Texans are signing former Chicago Bears defensive end Darrell Taylor to a one-year $5.25 million deal. Taylor was selected by the Seattle Seahawks during the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft and played three seasons with Seattle before spending 2024 with the Bears. The Tennessee product appeared in 16 games, racking up 32 tackles, three sacks, and two fumbles forced. He played the third-most snaps off the edge for the Seahawks. Taylor hasn't been as productive over the prior few seasons, though he did pile up 9.5 sacks in 16 contests during the 2022 season. He figures to be a valuable depth piece for the squad and should rotate in behind teammates Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter.

Free agent defensive back Robert Rochell has reached a one-year agreement with the Kansas City Chiefs, per Adam Schefter. The details of the contract have not been disclosed. Rochell is entering his fifth season after the Los Angeles Rams selected him in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. The 26-year-old suited up 11 times in 2024, garnering one snap. He'll join fellow cornerback Kristian Fulton as the team's new additions at DB. The Central Arkansas alum's lack of production throughout his tenure (15 tackles, one interception) points to him being just more depth for the squad. Rochell could push for more playing time with the Chiefs' defense in flux. However, he's unlikely to make waves in fantasy.

Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, former Tennessee Titans linebacker Jerome Baker has signed an undisclosed contract with the Cleveland Browns. The Cleveland native split two five-game stints last season with the Seattle Seahawks and Tennessee Titans after a mid-season trade, missing seven games with hamstring and neck injuries. Baker was the epitome of health earlier in his career, missing nary a game through his first five seasons. However, the 28-year-old has not appeared in ten combined games since 2023. He's a fine run defender and should help a defense that let up the fifth-most points in the NFL a season ago (25.6). Baker is the third addition at linebacker for the squad, joining Devin Bush and Joe Tryon-Shoyinka.

Free-agent QB Russell Wilson (Steelers) appears to be the Cleveland Browns' top choice amongst available quarterbacks, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, although there is still a chance that he could return to the Pittsburgh Steelers if free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers (Jets) decides not to sign there. As a contingency plan, the Browns have also maintained interest in free-agent QB Carson Wentz (Eagles).

Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Chris Godwin came close to leaving the team during free agency but took a hometown discount to return to the organization, so that they could fit other players under the salary cap, according to general manager Jason Licht.

Fantasy Spin: Multiple teams had expressed interest in Godwin this offseason, including one NFL club which "kept writing him blank checks," according to Licht, but he opted to return to the only organization he has ever played for in his eight-year career. Despite experiencing difficulty remaining healthy, Godwin should be viewed as a solid WR3 option for 2025 fantasy leagues.

Dynasty | The Giants have signed wide receiver Zach Pascal. Dynasty Analysis: Once a bit of a sleeper during his time in Indianapolis, Pascal hasn't done much in his time with the Eagles and Cardinals over the last couple of seasons. Still, this is a depth chart in the making and while Pascal has no business on dynasty rosters at the moment, he should be monitored throughout camp just in case New York fails to continue adding quality depth to the position.

Dynasty | The Chargers have signed free agent tight end Tyler Conklin. Dynasty Analysis: This signing might fly under the radar a touch, but it shouldn't. Conklin posted a 51/449/4 line for a Jets team that was, well, challenged offensively last season. The move to Los Angeles could be huge for his fantasy value as the Chargers rolled with Will Dissly last year with mixed results of their own. Should the Chargers fail to draft a tight end early in the 2025 NFL Draft, Conklin could emerge as a true TE1 option next season and dynasty managers should respond accordingly

Veteran free-agent wide receiver Zach Pascal is signing an undisclosed one-year deal with the New York Giants on Saturday. Pascal will reunite with receivers coach Mike Groh from their days with the Indianapolis Colts. The 30-year-old veteran will head to the NFC East after catching just four of 15 targets for 19 yards and no touchdowns in 31 games (one start) with the Arizona Cardinals the last two years. He played in 17 games a year ago but wasn't targeted at all on offense and was primarily a special-teamer. In the Big Apple, Pascal will have an opportunity to compete for a depth role on offense, but he will most likely continue to fill in on special teams in 2025. He faces an uphill battle for fantasy value behind the likes of Malik Nabers, Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton and the recently signed Lil'Jordan Humphrey.

The New York Giants' signing of QB Jameis Winston earlier this week would not necessarily preclude them from signing another free-agent quarterback, such as QB Russell Wilson (Steelers) or QB Aaron Rodgers (Jets), according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler.

Fantasy Spin: Winston is likely to open the 2025 season as the Giants' starter, even if the team drafts a quarterback, unless they also sign Wilson or Rodgers. If he plays, Winston should be viewed as a QB2 option for fantasy leagues.

Dynasty | The Giants have signed free agent quarterback Jameis Winston. Dynasty Analysis: Winston's days as a starter for a team are all but over and his modest $8 million contract with New York pretty much solidifies that. Still, he's a decent spot starter at the moment and would be a solid candidate to keep a seat warm for a rookie should the Giants choose to go that direction. Winston is who he is - a player who could throw for five touchdowns or five interceptions on any given Sunday. He's worth a roster spot in Superflex leagues and could merit one in conventional leagues until his replacement is one the roster, which seems relatively inevitable.

Dynasty | Free agent quarterback Ryan Tannehill has reportedly had discussions with Minnesota. Dynasty Analysis: This seems like a solid plan for the Vikings should they pursue it. Tannehill spent last season out of football, but has always said he'd come back in the right situation. Minnesota could be just that seeing that they have a roster full of playmakers and need someone to possibly keep the seat warm for a recovering JJ McCarthy. There's nothing imminent here, so Tannehill doesn't need to be added from waivers. However, he'd be a little intriguing should he actually sign with the Vikings.

The New England Patriots announced on Friday that they released linebackers Curtis Jacobs and Andrew Parker Jr., offensive tackle Caleb Jones and center Lecitus Smith. Jacobs went undrafted last year out of Penn State before joining the Patriots when he was claimed off waivers last August. The 23-year-old appeared in nine games (two starts) in his first year in the NFL and recorded only four tackles (two solo). A concussion cut his season short and landed him on Injured Reserve. Jacobs mostly played on special teams for the Pats and is now searching for another opportunity as a special-teamer and depth linebacker heading into the 2025 season. Parker, 25, was also undrafted but did not see any action in 2024 for New England.

The Seattle Seahawks announced on Friday that they have signed free-agent wide receiver River Cracraft to an undisclosed deal. The Seahawks continue to add receiver depth this offseason after releasing veteran Tyler Lockett and trading DK Metcalf to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Cracraft will merely be providing depth at the position behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and Marquez Valdes-Scantling. The 30-year-old veteran and former undrafted free agent out of Washington State heads to the NFC West after spending the last three years with the Miami Dolphins, where he caught only 25 passes on 35 targets for 289 yards and three touchdowns in 29 games (one start). In his seven seasons in the NFL, Cracraft has 32 receptions, 374 yards and three touchdowns on 46 targets in 53 games (two starts). He will continue to be off the fantasy radar in all leagues in 2025 in Seattle.

Free-agent LB Jerome Baker (Titans) has agreed to terms with the Cleveland Browns, according to a source.

Former New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin reached an agreement on an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday with the Los Angeles Chargers, according to his agent, Mike McCartney. Conklin heads to the AFC West after spending the last three years with the Jets, where he had 170 catches on 246 targets for 1,622 yards and seven touchdowns in 50 games (43 starts). While the 29-year-old did have a career-high four touchdowns in 16 games (15 starts) last year, he had just 51 catches and 449 yards (his lowest total since 2020) on 72 targets. The former fifth-round selection (157th overall) by the Minnesota Vikings in 2018 out of Central Michigan has the opportunity to be the Chargers' top pass-catching tight end in 2025, but he'll also be sharing playing time with Will Dissly. Dissly had a very similar 50-481-2 line to Conklin a year ago in L.A. Expect Conklin to be a touchdown-dependent TE2 in fantasy in his new home.

The New York Giants and free-agent quarterback Jameis Winston are finalizing a two-year, $8 million deal on Friday that could be worth up to $16 million with incentives, multiple sources told FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Winston now joins Tommy DeVito as the only quarterbacks on the Giants roster, but the G-Men are still fully expected to sign another veteran QB -- either Aaron Rodgers or Russell Wilson -- while also possibly taking a rookie QB with the third overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft. The 31-year-old Winston, the former first overall pick out of Florida State by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2015, famously led the league with 5,109 passing yards and also 30 interceptions in 2019 with the Bucs. He ended up playing in 12 games (seven starts) for the Browns in 2024 after Deshaun Watson's (Achilles) season-ending injury but was eventually benched after throwing 13 TDs and 12 picks. If Winston is starting in 2025, he'll be a turnover-prone, low-end QB2 in superflex leagues.

The Minnesota Vikings have had talks with former Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill about a potential deal, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Talks are ongoing but nothing is imminent at this moment. For the time being, the Vikings have told free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers that they are not interested and are moving ahead full steam with last year's first-rounder, J.J. McCarthy (knee), as their starting signal-caller in 2025. However, after both Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones left in free agency this offseason, the Vikes continue to search for QB insurance behind McCarthy, and Tannehill could be their guy. The 36-year-old didn't join a team for the 2024 season and played in only 10 games (eight starts) in his final season in Tennessee in 2023, throwing for 1,616 yards, four TDs and seven picks. If Tannehill joins the Vikings, it would strictly be as their backup behind McCarthy.
