Brown (6'0/205) made second-team All MAC as a senior, finishing his career with 2,290 yards and 19 TDs on 154 catches (14.9 YPR). He ran 4.54 at the Combine and posted solid marks in the vertical (37") and broad (10') jumps. Just an above-average athlete at his size, Brown’s calling cards are huge, sure hands (10 1/4") and a wide catching radius. As Brown will be a 24-year-old rookie, his long-term ceiling may be capped. We should find out early in Brown’s career whether he’ll be a contributor.

Jones is a career backup who has started eight of the 48 career games he’s appeared in. He posted a career-high three sacks last season while also tallying 27 tackles and four TFLs. He’s one of two recently signed tackles the Chargers will ask to serve in their defensive line rotation this upcoming season.

The restructuring of Humphrey’s deal clears $13.4 million in cap space for the Ravens this upcoming season. The veteran corner has two years remaining on his current deal, and saw the majority of his 2025 salary converted to a signing bonus. Now getting most of his money up front, Humphrey’s base salary for the season will be $1.255 million, as the Ravens look to clear space in hopes of adding more talent to the roster.

This is another smart signing by the Eagles. Bryant will compete for the No. 2 role behind Dallas Goedert, and while he likely won’t surpass that spot on the depth chart, taking a chance on him makes sense. The 26-year-old tight end won the 2019 John Mackey Award in his final college season before earning PFWA All-Rookie Team honors in 2020. His career-best stat line occurred in 2022, when he caught 31-of-42 targets for 239 yards and one touchdown.

Day played a bigger role than expected in 2024, appearing in 12 games for the Commanders while finishing fourth among defensive linemen on the team with 272 snaps. Day, an eight-year vet of the league who has played for six different teams, will have a chance to catch on as added depth this offseason after totaling 24 tackles and two TFLs last season, but he’s no lock to make the 53-man roster.

Allen is a career backup who has provided serviceable play when called upon. He joins one of the most underwhelming quarterback rooms in the league, currently headlined by Will Levis, but the Titans could soon look to add a franchise quarterback with the No. 1 overall pick in next month’s draft. Allen is unlikely to be any more than a camp body who may have a chance at being the Titans’ emergency QB3 if he performs well enough in camp.

Hand can earn up to $3.35 million on his new deal. The veteran lineman has spent the last two years with the Dolphins, making two starts in the 33 games he appeared in. During that time, Hand totaled 48 tackles, two sacks, and six TFLs while playing 432 of his 763 snaps on passing downs, per PFF. He’ll make for a solid depth signing for the Chargers, who continue to look for discount options to improve a defense that ranked first in points allowed last season.

Brown most notably caught the game-winning Hail Mary to beat the Bears in Week 8 last season, but the veteran receiver was a reliable WR2 opposite Terry McLaurin before a rib injury ended his season. Brown caught 35 passes for 453 yards last season, but is already looking at a reduced role in 2025 with Deebo Samuel now in town. The Commanders adding any other receivers this offseason will only further threaten Brown’s chance at relevance this season, but for now, the Commanders return a reliable field stretcher who should add depth to a shallow receiver room. Brown can earn up to $4.5 million on his new deal.

Mostert will turn 33 next month. After defying Father Time in his age 31 season, when he ran for 1,012 yards and totaled 21 touchdowns in 2023, Mostert was an afterthought in Miami’s offense last season. While a chest injury forced Mostert to miss a handful of games early in the season, the veteran running back still appeared in 13 games on the year but averaged only eight touches per game when active. The Raiders need more than an aging back to fix an offense that finished dead last in yards per carry (3.6) last season, but Mostert could prove to be a solid value if there’s anything left in the tank.

Perhaps more importantly is Schultz’s report that Kupp “doesn’t plan on having a long, drawn-out process” and is expected to decide on a new team rather quickly. The veteran receiver was officially let go by the Rams earlier this week in a cap-saving move, but should have no trouble finding a new home. While injuries have taken their toll on Kupp over his career, he can still provide plenty of utility as a chain-moving possession receiver for a team in need of reliable hands. With five teams reportedly already vying for his services, there’s a good chance we’ll know Kupp’s landing spot in the coming days.

Osborn, who is entering his age 28 season, is no lock to make the roster. He was claimed off waivers by the Commanders in December 2024 and appeared in one game during the regular season, though he did not appear in any of Washington’s playoff games. He signed with the Patriots prior to the 2024 season and played in seven games. He spent his first four seasons with the Vikings, recording 15 of his 16 career touchdown receptions.
