Derrick Nnadi Signing With Jets
Free-agent defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi is signing an undisclosed deal with the New York Jets on Sunday, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. The multi-time Super Bowl winner with the Kansas City Chiefs will head to the AFC East after spending the first seven years of his NFL career in Kansas City after the Chief took him in the third round (75th overall) in the 2018 draft out of Florida State. Although the 28-year-old wasn't a lineup regular for the Chiefs in 2024 (he only started one of 17 regular-season games), he has appeared in all 17 regular-season games in each of the last four seasons and has missed just one game in his seven years. Nnadi has 233 total tackles (109 solo), five sacks, seven tackles for loss, eight QB hits, an interception and a forced fumble in his 115 games played (87 starts). It's possible that Nnadi could start more in 2025 with his move to New York.

Eddie Goldman Joins Commanders On One-Year Deal
Free-agent defensive lineman Eddie Goldman signed an undisclosed one-year deal with the Washington Commanders this week, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Goldman will head to the NFC East after spending the 2024 season with the Atlanta Falcons. The 31-year-old veteran defensive tackle played in all 17 games (10 starts) for Atlanta, recording just 16 tackles (seven solo) and one sack for the Falcons in his lone season with the team. Goldman should once again serve in a rotational backup role in D.C. in 2025 behind the likes of Daron Payne, Javon Kinlaw and Jer'Zhan Newton. The veteran defensive lineman returned in 2022 and also did not play in 2023 before returning to the NFL last year. Goldman has 191 career tackles (123 solo), 14 sacks, 19 tackles for loss, 24 QB hits and two fumble recoveries in seven NFL seasons.

Cooper Rush Agrees On Two-Year Deal With Ravens
Former Dallas Cowboys free-agent quarterback Cooper Rush agreed on Sunday to a two-year deal worth up to $12.2 million with the Baltimore Ravens, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Rush now becomes the new backup to starter Lamar Jackson. The 31-year-old former undrafted free agent out of Central Michigan debuted in the NFL in 2017 with the Dallas Cowboys and has spent all seven of his seasons in the league with Dallas. Rush saw his most run in 2024 after Dak Prescott suffered a season-ending torn hamstring. The veteran signal-caller played in 12 games (eight starts) and completed 60.7 percent of his 308 pass attempts for 1,844 yards, 12 touchdowns and five interceptions. Rush has 3,463 career passing yards with 20 TDs and 10 interceptions in 38 games played (14 starts). He's unlikely to see the field much in Baltimore, with Jackson missing one game in the last two seasons.

Ben Cleveland Remaining With Ravens
Baltimore Ravens offensive guard Ben Cleveland has re-signed with the organization. Cleveland is back with the team after spending the first four seasons with his career with the team. He is a former third-round pick of the Ravens from 2021. Cleveland has made some spot starts in his career, but has mainly been a rotational player. He played in all 19 games for the Ravens last season, including the playoffs. Cleveland will probably be a depth or rotational player next season, but the fact he has been a viable and healthy option makes him valuable to the team.

Shemar Jean-Charles Signing With Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks have signed defensive back Shemar Jean-Charles to a one-year deal. The former fifth-round pick hasn't been able to make much of an impact early in his career. He last played with the New Orleans Saints in 2024. He finished with 14 tackles, two passes defended, and one interception in nine games (two starts) with the Saints last season. Jean-Charles will get a chance to compete for a depth role in Seattle during training camp.

Velus Jones Jr. Signs With Saints
The New Orleans Saints have signed free-agent wide receiver Velus Jones Jr. to a one-year deal. Jones is a former third-round pick of the Chicago Bears from 2022. He was never able to make much of an impact in Chicago and was waived by the team in October. Jones finished out last season with the Carolina Panthers, but he didn't see much of the field over there. He'll compete for a spot on the 53-man roster in training camp and could serve as a depth option or kick returner if he's able to make the team.

Vikings Acquire Jordan Mason From 49ers, Sign Him To Two-Year Deal
The Minnesota Vikings acquired running back Jordan Mason from the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday and signed him to a two-year deal with over $7 million fully guaranteed at signing, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The maximum value of the deal is for $12 million. The Niners placed a second-round tender (worth $5.3 million) on Mason, who was a restricted free agent, but he'll now head to the NFC North, where he'll serve as the backup to Aaron Jones. San Fran also sent the 187th pick in this year's draft in exchange for the 160th pick in the draft and a sixth-round pick in 2026. The 25-year-old was one of the best waiver-wire pickups in fantasy a year ago after taking over for Christian McCaffrey as the Niners' lead back. He had 789 rushing yards and three TDs on 153 carries in 12 games (six starts) before ending the year with an ankle injury. Mason won't have much standalone fantasy value in 2025 but will be a fine handcuff for those that roster Jones.

Dee Eskridge Sticking With Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins have re-signed wide receiver Dee Eskridge. The two sides have agreed on a one-year deal for an undisclosed amount of money. The former second-round pick from 2021 has unfortunately not lived up to the hype. Last season, Eskridge hauled in three receptions for 44 yards in six games during his first year with the Dolphins. He averaged nearly 30 yards per kick return, so that is likely why the Dolphins decided to bring him back. Eskridge could see a few targets as well, but he'll probably mainly be used on special teams, so he won't be fantasy relevant.

JuJu Smith-Schuster Returning To Chiefs
Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster has signed a new deal to remain with the organization. Smith-Schuster returns on a one-year deal for an undisclosed amount of money. The former second-round pick was decent as a depth option for the Chiefs last season. He hauled in 18 receptions for 231 yards and two touchdowns in 14 games (eight starts) with the Chiefs last season. The expectation is that Smith-Schuster will slide somewhere behind Xavier Worthy, Marquise Brown, and Rashee Rice (knee) once he's healthy enough to play. It's tough to imagine Smith-Schuster being a fantasy relevant player on a weekly basis.

Chidobe Awuzie Released By Titans
Tennessee Titans defensive back Chidobe Awuzie has been released by the organization on Saturday. This is an interesting move considering Awuzie signed a three-year deal with Tennessee last offseason. His first season in Tennessee was a disappointment, but it's a bit surprising to see the Titans giving up on him so quick. Awuzie recorded 26 tackles, four passes defended, and one interception in eight games (seven starts) with the Titans last season. He was limited to eight games due to injury, but that's not too shocking considering Awuzie hasn't played a full season since 2019. Despite the injury history, Awuzie should have a decent market as a free agent.

Parris Campbell Headed To Dallas
The Dallas Cowboys have agreed to a deal with free-agent wide receiver Parris Campbell on Saturday. The two sides have agreed on a one-year deal for an undisclosed amount of money. This is not exactly a blockbuster move, but it does give the Cowboys more depth at wideout. The expectation is that Campbell will sit somewhere behind CeeDee Lamb and Jalen Tolbert on the depth chart. The 27-year-old barely saw the field last season as he recorded six receptions for 30 yards with one touchdown in five games with the Philadelphia Eagles. Campbell hasn't exactly been fantasy relevant throughout his career outside of his 623-yard season in 2022. The Cowboys have a handful of capable pass-catchers, so Campbell is unlikely to be fantasy relevant in 2025.

Patrick Johnson Rejoins Philadelphia
The Philadelphia Eagles have reached an agreement with former New York Giants linebacker Patrick Johnson on a one-year deal. The financial terms have not been disclosed. Johnson spent his first three years with the Eagles, racking up 20 tackles, one fumble forced, and one recovered in 48 games, but signed with New York for the 2024 season. He'd appear in 13 games for the G-Men, though he only registered three tackles. However, he did participate on special teams for New York. Philadelphia let a few of their defensive starters depart this offseason, but the 27-year-old figures to operate as a depth piece for the team.

Larrell Murchison Back With The Rams
The Los Angeles Rams are re-signing defensive lineman Larrell Murchison to a one-year deal. The terms of the contract are currently undisclosed. Murchison is on his fourth stint with the Rams, though he missed the entire 2024 season due to injury, failing to register a snap. The 27-year-old was shelved for the first four weeks of the season after an arm injury he suffered in their first preseason game. Then, during his first practice back with the team, he broke his foot, effectively ending his season. The North Carolina State alum operated as a rotational player on the Rams' defensive front in 2023, notching 16 tackles in 15 appearances. He projects to occupy that role again in 2025, mixing in behind teammates Tyler Davis and Jack Heflin.

Kirk Cousins Set To Receive Roster Bonus
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins will remain on the roster on Saturday past 4 p.m. ET, solidifying his $10 million roster bonus for March of 2026. Pelissero also notes that if Cousins is eventually traded or released, Atlanta's obligation is subject to offsets. Cousins started 14 games for the Falcons in 2024, though he woefully underperformed, racking up an 18:16 TD:INT ratio before getting benched for rookie signal-caller Michael Penix Jr. in Week 16. It's a strange move for the team, as it would seemingly behoove them more to trade the 36-year-old, especially considering he's made it clear that he prefers to start rather than ride the bench. With that said, you can't fault Atlanta, as Cousins would be one of the more competent backups in the league.

Aaron Rodgers Wants To Play In Minnesota
The Athletic's Mike Silver reports that free-agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers hopes to sign with the Minnesota Vikings. Rodgers was previously linked to the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers, but Minnesota recently intervened in the situation, and it appears they're the front-runner to land the 41-year-old. Silver also noted in a separate post that if a deal with Minnesota falls through, the veteran quarterback could opt for retirement in lieu of signing with the Giants or Steelers. Rodgers has already put the two teams on hold as he waits for the Vikings to work things out, so he clearly views them as less-favorable options. It's an intriguing situation for the teams involved. Still, Rodgers isn't likely to provide much fantasy value in 2025, outside of a potential streaming option.

Clelin Ferrell Returning To Washington
John Keim of ESPN.com reports that defensive end Clelin Ferrell is re-signing with the Washington Commanders on a one-year deal. The details of the contract have yet to be disclosed. Ferrell started ten games for the team last season. However, toward the end of the year, he was downgraded to a reserve player, which continued into the playoffs. The 27-year-old, a former first-round pick, registered 26 tackles and 3.5 sacks -- one off his career-high. He was the team's third-leading snap-getter on the edge in 2024. Ferrell is known more for his prowess as a run-stopper than the traditional pass-rushing specialist that a defensive end typically presents as. He projects to serve as a rotational piece on the team's defensive front once again in 2025.

Kris Boyd Signs With The Jets
The New York Jets have agreed to terms with former Houston Texans defensive back Kris Boyd on an undisclosed deal. The Texas product spent the last two years with the Texans, though he was mainly a contributor on special teams, recording just one tackle across 23 games since 2023. Boyd was selected in the seventh round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings and spent his first four seasons with the team. His best statistical campaign came in 2020 when he notched 30 tackles and a forced fumble in ten games. The 28-year-old will likely play a big part on special teams again in 2025 while serving as a depth piece in the Jets' defensive backfield.

Mekhi Becton Inks Deal With Chargers
The NFL's Ian Rapoport reports that former Philadelphia Eagles offensive lineman Mekhi Becton is signing a two-year, $20 million deal with the Los Angeles Chargers. Becton started 15 games for Philadelphia a season ago, recording 78.05% of the team's snaps. It was his only season with the Eagles after spending the first three years of his career with the New York Jets. The former first-round pick should serve as a significant boost for LA's offensive line and figures to spend time as a guard for the team. The Chargers have been active this offseason, but the 25-year-old could prove to be one of their most pivotal acquisitions yet. It's great news for new running back Najee Harris.

Tyler Johnson Links Up With Jets
Former Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tyler Johnson has signed an undisclosed contract with the New York Jets. The 25-year-old is entering his sixth season in the league after spending two years with the Rams and the first three seasons of his career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A former fifth-round pick, Johnson got a good amount of playing time early in 2024 while LA dealt with injuries to Puka Nacua and former wideout Cooper Kupp. However, he's climbed the depth chart with his new squad and figures to slot in as the Jets' second or third option in their WR corps. New York may continue to bolster their core of pass-catchers. Still, Johnson presents as a low-risk, high-reward option as the Jets continue to retool their roster.

Kyle Juszczyk Returns To 49ers
Nine-time Pro Bowl fullback Kyle Juszczyk re-signed with the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday on a two-year, $8 million deal, a source told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Juszczyk will return to the Bay Area for his ninth year after the Niners released him back on Monday. The 33-year-old has never been on the fantasy radar, but he will continue to be a key blocking asset in the team's backfield for starting running back Christian McCaffrey (knee) in 2025. When Juszczyk does factor in on offense, it's usually through the air as a receiver. In his 12-year NFL career, he's caught 281 passes on 378 targets for 2,664 yards and 18 total touchdowns while carrying the ball only 67 times for 237 yards and six TDs. Last year in 17 games (15 starts), he had 19 catches on 31 targets for 200 yards and two scores, adding just five carries for 26 yards and one TD.
