Robertson stands 6-foot-4, 300, but possesses short arms and moderate athleticism. He may need Atlanta to keep five defensive tackles to make the club.

Humphrey is a six-year pro who has spent all but one of his professional seasons with Sean Payton. Now, the former UDFA will leave the comfort of Payton for Big Blue in hopes of securing a meaningful role in an offense that is short on receiver talent behind Malik Nabers and Wan’Dale Robinson. Humphrey posted career highs in receptions (31) and receiving yards (293) last season while also running the most routes (290) of his career. He’ll likely settle in as depth at wideout if he makes the roster. This signing doesn’t move the fantasy needle in any way.

Omenihu had an abbreviated season in 2024, returning from a late 2023 ACL tear. He still notched 12 quarterback pressures and one sack in six games, though. This is a smart deal for the Chiefs. Bolstering the pass rush via a low-cost, one-year deal allows them to continue searching for valuable free agents.

Shortly after Nwosu agreed to restructure his contract, Schneider revealed that the 28-year-old pass rusher underwent surgery for an undisclosed issue. Perhaps the Seahawks’ willingness to keep Nwosu on the roster is a net positive regarding his expected recovery. Nwosu missed the first four 2024 games due to an August MCL sprain. He returned for Week 5 but was forced from play after suffering a thigh injury. He was then sidelined again until Week 14, and was later listed with a wrist injury in Week 17. Hopefully, Nwosu will be healthy in time for Week 1.

Sheppard operated as the Buffaloes’ No. 3 wide receiver last season, catching 47-of-65 targets for 616 yards and six touchdowns. He forced 13 missed tackles while averaging 5.0 yards after the catch. Per Wilson, Sheppard registered a 38.5-inch vertical jump at the Big 12 pro day.

The 6-foot, 225-pound Boone made a name for himself at Toledo in 2023, rushing 193 times for 1,384 yards and 15 touchdowns and catching 15-of-18 targets for 216 yards and one touchdown. He forced 52 missed tackles total that year. He then spent the 2024 season at UCF, rushing 34 times for 208 yards and two touchdowns and catching 1-of-2 targets for nine yards. Boone could sneak his way onto a roster via a Day 3 pick or as an undrafted free agent. Both the Buccaneers and Lions would be solid landing spots, given their potent, high-volume rushing attacks.

Conklin has been a model of consistency over the last four years, most recently catching 51-of-67 targets for 449 yards and four touchdowns in 2024. Incumbent starter Will Dissly is a better blocker. Should the Chargers sign Conklin, he would ostensibly fight to be a low-end TE1 for fantasy purposes.

Revel is coming off of an ACL tear suffered just three weeks into the 2024 college season. He was a well-regarded Group of Five prospect before that though, having broken out as both a coverage defender and run defender in 2023. In 15 games over the last two seasons, Revel forced 14 incompletions, recorded three interceptions, tallied 66 tackles, five of which were for a loss or no gain, and even lined up as a box defender on 139 snaps.

The Falcons did not use Carter often last year, 2024 was his second-straight season with under 500 defensive snaps. Carter has just three sacks to his name the last two seasons, which is a little sad for someone who works mostly as a third-down rusher. He totaled seven quarterback pressures and 25 tackles last season. He’s likely just a rotational piece for the Titans.

Fotu is a rotational defensive lineman who is best suited to playing on early downs. He has 57 tackles, 23 quarterback pressures and four sacks in his five-year NFL career. Fotu spent the 2024 season with the Jets after wearing a Cardinals uniform through the four prior seasons.

According to Schultz, the visit between Diggs and the Patriots “was more of a ‘get to know you’ and ‘where you’re at medically’ type of meeting.” Diggs is still recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in Week 8 last season but had a line of 47-496-3 before his injury. He’ll turn 32 midway through next season, but assuming he’s healthy, Diggs would be an immediate upgrade for a Patriots offense that’s short on talent at receiver.
