    Will Sheppard Mar 21 9:50am ET
    Will Sheppard

    The New Orleans Saints have reportedly invited Colorado wide receiver Will Sheppard for a prospect visit. This could be an interesting move for the Saints given Sheppard's success at Colorado last season. He hauled in 48 receptions for 621 yards and six touchdowns in 13 games. His numbers have been fairly consistent throughout his college career. Sheppard finished with 200 receptions for 2,688 yards and 27 touchdowns during his college career with Vanderbilt and Colorado. He's not projected to be a star, but could be a nice complimentary piece for the Saints offense.

    Charles Omenihu

    The Kansas City Chiefs have re-signed defensive end Charles Omenihu. They've agreed on a one-year, $7 million contract for the upcoming season. Omenihu didn't play a full season in 2024 because he was still recovering from an ACL tear from 2023. Before suffering his season-ending knee injury, Omenihu recorded 28 tackles, five tackles for loss, and seven sacks in 11 games in 2023. He put up minimal stats last season, but he only played in six games. This is a solid deal for the Chiefs to bring back a valuable defensive piece.

    Jaylon Jones Mar 21 9:08am ET
    Jaylon Jones

    The Arizona Cardinals signed Chicago Bears free-agent cornerback Jaylon Jones (shoulder) to an undisclosed deal on Thursday, according to KPRC's Aaron Wilson. Jones will reunite him with high-school teammate Kyler Murray. The former undrafted free agent out of Mississippi has 4.41-second 40-yard dash speed and will now head to the NFC West to give the Cardinals more depth for their secondary. Jones was a restricted free agent this offseason, but the Bears didn't tender him a contract in order to try and re-sign him. In his three seasons with the Bears, the 27-year-old defensive back totaled 85 tackles (64 solo), four pass breakups and a forced fumble in 41 games (five starts). Jones played in just eight games a season ago and finished the year on Injured Reserve due to a shoulder injury. He will likely continue to mostly be a factor on special teams in Arizona.

    Leonard Floyd Mar 20 10:03pm ET
    Leonard Floyd

    The Atlanta Falcons will likely select an edge rusher of defensive tackle with the 15th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft to pair with LB Leonard Floyd, according to Marc Raimondi of ESPN.com.

    Patrick Johnson Mar 20 9:10pm ET
    Patrick Johnson

    The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Thursday that they agreed to terms on an undisclosed one-year deal with free-agent outside linebacker Patrick Johnson (knee). The 26-year-old entered the NFL as a seventh-round selection (234th overall) by the Eagles in 2021 out of Tulane, and he spent the first three seasons of his career in Philadelphia before he was waived by the team in September of last year. He eventually latched on with the division-rival New York Giants and played 12 games (no starts) in 2024, totaling only four tackles (one solo). A knee injury caused him to miss the final three games of the season. Johnson will now return to the Eagles, where he'll likely just be competing for a roster spot in training camp. In his first three years in Philly, Jones had only 35 tackles (23 solo), a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 48 games (two starts).

    Uchenna Nwosu Mar 20 8:50pm ET
    Uchenna Nwosu

    Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider said on Seattle Sports radio that linebacker Uchenna Nwosu (undisclosed) had offseason surgery, and "it's way too early to tell" whether he'll need to start on the Physically Unable to Perform list or not. Schneider said it will be "pretty close." It's unknown exactly what Nwosu had surgery for, but he missed time last season with knee, thigh and wrist injuries. The 28-year-old former second-round pick (48th overall) by the Los Angeles Chargers in 2018 out of USC had a career-high 9.5 sacks in 17 starts in his first year with the Seahawks in 2022, but he's played in only 12 games (eight starts) the last two years due to injuries. He had a career-low 14 tackles (eight solo), one sack and five QB hits in six games (two starts) in 2024 and now may not be ready for the start of the 2025 regular season this fall.

    Jerry Tillery Mar 20 8:50pm ET
    Jerry Tillery

    The Kansas City Chiefs signed veteran free-agent defensive tackle Jerry Tillery to an undisclosed deal on Wednesday, according to Chiefs.com's Matt McMullen. Tiller will join the Chiefs in 2025 after recording 28 tackles (13 solo) and a forced fumble in 17 regular-season games (11 starts) in his lone season with the Minnesota Vikings. His 467 defensive snaps ranked fourth among defensive linemen on the team. The 28-year-old was mostly used as a defensive end in Minnesota's 3-4 defensive scheme, but he's expected to compete for an interior defensive-tackle role in the Chiefs' 4-3 defense this summer in training camp. Tillery is versatile for his ability to play both on the interior and on the outside, but he's unlikely to suddenly become an option in IDP fantasy formats. The former first-rounder of the Los Angeles Chargers has only 12.5 sacks in six NFL seasons and has never had more than 51 total tackles in a single season.

    Tyler Conklin Mar 20 8:40pm ET
    Tyler Conklin

    Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports that free-agent tight end Tyler Conklin is visiting with the Los Angeles Chargers. The former Jet has garnered interest from a few teams -- including New York -- but has yet to find a new home. Conklin spent the last three seasons with the Jets and seemed to be trending up. However, the addition of wide receiver Davante Adams put a damper on his production in 2024. The 29-year-old hauled in 51 passes for 449 yards on 72 targets last season, setting a career-high with four trips to the end zone. He'd be an intriguing fit in LA and would undoubtedly benefit from the play of signal-caller Justin Herbert. Conklin could provide some nice fantasy value as a Charger, as there isn't too much target competition behind wideouts Ladd McConkey and newly-acquired Mike Williams.

    Feleipe Franks Mar 20 7:00pm ET
    Feleipe Franks

    The Atlanta Falcons are signing former Carolina Panthers tight end Feleipe Franks to a one-year contract. The financial details of the deal have not yet been disclosed. D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported the news. Franks, a former quarterback, signed initially with the Falcons as an undrafted free agent back in 2021 but spent most of his time on the field as a wildcat QB. The 27-year-old was converted to tight end in 2022. However, he did not make an NFL roster the following season. In 2024, the Arkansas alum appeared in 16 games for Carolina, catching one pass for 12 yards on 45 snaps. He'll slot in behind teammates Kyle Pitts and Charlie Woerner in the team's tight-end pecking order.

    Lorenzo Carter Mar 20 6:40pm ET
    Lorenzo Carter

    ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter reports that the Tennessee Titans have signed veteran edge rusher Lorenzo Carter to an undisclosed contract. The 29-year-old spent the last three seasons with Atlanta after being selected by the New York Giants in the third round of the 2018 NFL Draft. Carter played 13 games with the Falcons in 2024 and registered the team's third-most snaps off the edge. However, he failed to record a sack for the first time in his career. He'll join a Titans' defense that allowed the third-fewest yards per game in the league (311.2) but the third-most points per game (27.1). Tennessee is a gritty team, and the veteran should be a boost as a rotational piece for the organization. Still, he won't be a factor for fantasy.

    Stefon Diggs Mar 20 6:00pm ET
    Stefon Diggs

    The New England Patriots' visit with free-agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) didn't end with a deal this week, but both sides intend to stay in contact, a source tells FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. This meeting between the two sides was more of a "get to know you" and "where you're at medically" type of meeting after Diggs tore his ACL while playing for the Houston Texans in 2024. The Patriots have a big need at receiver with Kayshon Boutte, DeMario Douglas and Kendrick Bourne currently their top three wideouts, so Diggs would make a lot of sense, even though he won't be guaranteed to be ready for Week 1 of the 2025 season. The 31-year-old four-time Pro Bowler broke a streak of six straight 1,000-yard seasons last year because of his injury. Diggs might lose a step when he returns, but he'd still be the unquestioned No. 1 for second-year QB Drake Maye if the two sides eventually work something out.

    Jerome Baker Mar 20 5:50pm ET
    Jerome Baker

    Veteran free-agent linebacker Jerome Baker has visited with the Cleveland Browns. Baker remains on the open market after splitting time between the Seattle Seahawks and Tennessee Titans in 2024. He only appeared in 10 games (eight starts) between both teams and had a career-low 61 tackles (34 solo), two sacks, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery. The 28-year-old played in five games with Seattle before he was traded to the Titans to close out the year. Baker was originally a third-round selection (73rd overall) by the Miami Dolphins in 2018 out of Ohio State. With seven years of NFL experience with three different teams, he should eventually latch on with another squad, but Baker might have to compete for a backup role in his new digs. Baker has 648 career tackles (416 solo), 24.5 sacks, 33 tackles for loss, 49 QB hits, five interceptions (two returned for TDs), 25 pass breakups, seven forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 104 games (90 starts).

    Jamal Agnew Mar 20 5:30pm ET
    Jamal Agnew

    The Atlanta Falcons agreed to terms with former Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/kick returner Jamal Agnew on Thursday on a one-year deal worth a maximum of $2.5 million, a source tells NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Agnew spent last year on the Pittsburgh Steelers' practice squad as he recovered from a broken leg that he suffered late in the 2023 season, but he's now fully healthy. The 29-year-old former fifth-rounder (165th overall) by the Detroit Lions in 2017 out of the University of San Diego was a Pro Bowl returner in 2022 with the Jaguars, but he's unlikely to move the needle much on offense in Atlanta, where he'll serve as receiving depth behind Drake London, Darnell Mooney and Ray-Ray McCloud III, among others. Agnew was more involved on offense in his three years in Duval, but he still had only 61 catches for 641 yards and five touchdowns on 90 targets from 2021-23.

    Stefon Diggs

    Free-agent WR Stefon Diggs (Texans) had a positive meeting with the New England Patriots but left without a contract. The two sides will continue to talk.

    Fantasy Spin: Diggs is recovering from a serious knee injury, so there is no urgency for the two sides to reach an agreement at this point. Diggs is a productive receiver when healthy and can be a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver next season if he signs with the Patriots.

    Deebo Samuel Mar 20 5:13pm ET
    Deebo Samuel

    Dynasty | The Commanders have signed wide receiver Michael Gallup. Dynasty Analysis: Gallup retired suddenly after a quiet year with the Raiders. The one-time Cowboy was once a highly coveted dynasty asset, but he just seemed to never fully recover from a knee injury that derailed his time in Dallas. Perhaps a year off will do some wonders for his health. Unfortunately, Gallup is going to be buried on a depth chart that currently features Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel. Gallup will be a player to monitor but he doesn't belong on dynasty rosters at the moment.

    Rock Ya-Sin Mar 20 2:50pm ET
    Rock Ya-Sin

    Veteran free-agent cornerback Rock Ya-Sin has agreed to terms to sign with the Detroit Lions, according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo. The 2019 second-round pick out of Temple by the Indianapolis Colts is set to join his fifth organization after three seasons with Indy and one season a piece with the Las Vegas Raiders, Baltimore Ravens, and San Francisco 49ers. Overall, the 28-year-old has compiled 199 tackles (166 solo), two interceptions, 31 pass deflections, two forced fumbles, and two fumble recoveries in 79 career games. He'll add depth to the Detroit secondary that continues to stack talent ahead of the 2025 campaign.

    Joe Burrow

    The Cincinnati Bengals are hosting offensive guard Lucas Patrick on a visit on Friday, according to NFL insider Jordan Schultz. The organization has been working to build its offensive line tasked with protecting quarterback Joe Burrow over the last few seasons, and Patrick could be the next addition to that group. The eight-year NFL veteran has played in 107 NFL games (64 starts) with the Green Bay Packers, Chicago Bears, and New Orleans Saints. The former undrafted free agent out of Duke allowed zero sacks on 330 pass-blocking snaps a season ago for the Saints.
