Packers RB MarShawn Lloyd has no limitations at the start of voluntary offseason work. A variety of injuries (ankle, hamstring, appendicitis) limited him to one game and six carries as a Round 3 rookie.
The first episode of the Patriots' "Forged in Foxborough" web series revealed that the team had multiple offers for the 38th overall pick in the draft. Instead of moving, though, New England stayed and selected Ohio State RB TreVeyon Henderson. The offers:
The 49ers signed QB Brock Purdy to a five-year extension as he enters the final year of his rookie contract. This $265 million contract places him fifth among QBs in total value and just inside the top-10 in yearly value.
The Athletic’s Jeff Howe calls RB Bhayshul Tuten the biggest value pick of the Jags’ 2025 rookie class and believes he can earn a Year 1 role. GM James Gladstone selected Tuten in Round 4 (pick No. 104) of April's draft.
Lions OC John Morton said "unbelievable" four times when asked to describe WR Jameson Williams' offseason. "In the meetings, attention to detail. I’m so excited to see him this year," Morton added. "It’s gonna be a breakout year for him. So I can’t wait."
The Baltimore Ravens and RB Derrick Henry have agreed upon a two-year $30 million extension with $25 million guaranteed. The extension keeps Henry under contract for the next three seasons through the end of the 2027 season. Henry ran for 1,921 yards and 16 TDs last season, adding a dynamic element to the Ravens' offense. This locks him in with Lamar Jackson for the foreseeable future. Turning 31-years old in January, Henry will be under contract until he turns 34.
Bengals Edge Trey Hendrickson showed up at the team's voluntary workouts Tuesday to speak to the media. According to ESPN's Ben Baby, Hendrickson said he won't play for the Bengals in 2025 under his current contract. Hendrickson had previously said that the team cut off contract negotiations and that the situation has become "personal."
The Browns announced Monday that they're placing LB Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah on the Reserve/PUP list. When that happens ahead of training camp, it means the player will miss the entire season. JOK sustained a neck injury in the Week 8 win over the Ravens last season and missed the rest of the year.
It doesn't sound like the 49ers plan on scaling back RB Christian McCaffrey's volume this season, despite an injury-wrecked 2024. "We’re gonna do everything we can to get him the ball as much as we can," OC Klay Kubiak said recently. Kubiak added that McCaffrey is "doing great" and "looks awesome" coming off his Achilles and knee injuries.
The Athletic's Ben Standig highlighted RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt as a standout in the team's recent rookie camp. Standig was particularly impressed by Croskey-Merritt's agility and burst, elements that Washington's backfield lacked last year. "If this proves to be real," Standig said of Croskey-Merritt's performance, "this is the element this offense could use. ... If you ask me for a bold prediction, I could see Croskey-Merritt getting into the [RB] rotation."
Bears TE Colston Loveland hasn’t been a full participant in May minicamp. The rookie underwent right shoulder surgery back on January 29.
Saints QB Derek Carr has announced he'll retire. We already knew there was a chance he'd miss some or all of the coming season because of an injury to his right shoulder. But this news obviously heightens the importance of rookie QB Tyler Shough's quick development and/or another plan for a "bridge" starter.
ESPN's Peter Schrager revealed that Falcons QB Kirk Cousins could be the fallback option for the Steelers if Aaron Rodgers does not sign with the team. Their current depth chart consists of Mason Rudolph, Skylar Thompson, and rookie Will Howard, placing it among the worst in the NFL.
The Panthers placed RB Jonathon Brooks on the Physically Unable to Perform list on Thursday. Brooks, who tore his ACL in Week 14, will miss the entire 2025 season.
Vikings HC Kevin O'Connell said QB J.J. McCarthy is having a "great start" to the offseason. O'Connell also confirmed that McCarthy is taking snaps from starting C Ryan Kelly, ahead of QBs Sam Howell and Brett Rypien.
Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill recently had a second surgery on his wrist. It was a planned procedure to remove the screws placed in Hill's wrist back in February, according to ESPN's Marcel Louis-Jacques. Hill hurt his wrist last August and played the entire season with what HC Mike McDaniel described as a ligament issue.
The Eagles had multiple trade offers for TE Dallas Goedert during the 2025 NFL Draft, but instead decided to keep him on the team. Part of that agreement was for him to rework his contract to reduce the $11 million cap hit the team would have to take. Instead of cutting Goedert, that deal has been reworked and keeps him on the team for 2025. He will become a free agent after this season.
The Jaguars are releasing WR Gabe Davis. He signed a three-year, $39 million contract in free agency last year and responded with just 20 catches for 239 yards and two TDs across 10 games. Davis was set to make $12.5 million in 2025.
Falcons OC Zac Robinson expects TE Kyle Pitts to take a "big jump" in 2025. "You know, Year 2 of the system. Year 2 of understanding what we're trying to do offensively," Robinson added. "All those things that come with it, so expecting a lot of good things from Kyle."
The Steelers are expected to finalize a trade today that will send WR George Pickens to the Cowboys. Josina Anderson reports Pittsburgh will get a 2026 third-round pick and a late-round pick swap in 2027 (Steelers sixth-rounder for Cowboys fifth-rounder). Pickens turned 24 in March and heads into the final year of his rookie contract.
