    Cardinals signed LB Nick Vigil, formerly of the Vikings, to a one-year contract.
    Vigil spent last season in Minnesota, racking up 85 tackles across 719 defensive snaps. He should provide some veteran depth behind Isaiah Simmons and Zaven Collins.

  • DET Wide Receiver #9

    The Detroit Free Press’ Dave Birkett reports Jameson Williams won’t face league discipline after avoiding charges for carrying an unlicensed gun in Detroit.
    Williams was a passenger in a vehicle that was pulled over in Detroit in October and found to have two firearms in the front seat, one of them registered to Williams. Williams did not have a concealed pistol license to carry the weapon at the time but later obtained the permit, according to Birkett. The Lions wideout was arrested and released without charges. Williams had been suspended twice by the league for violating the NFL’s performance enhancing drug and gambling policies. Williams will enter 2025 as one of the league’s most explosive pass catchers following his first 1,000-yard season as a pro.
  • KC Tight End #87
    ESPN’s Dan Graziano reports the Chiefs would like to know whether Travis Kelce will retire by March 15.
    March 15, per Graziano, would be considered a “soft deadline” for Kelce to decide if he’ll retire or play another season with the Chiefs. It’s on the day that $11.5 million is due to Kelce as a roster bonus. Kelce, 35, who said on February 11 that he would “take some time” before making the call to return for a 13th NFL season, could conceivably collect that bonus and announce his retirement later in the spring or summer. “But it’s important to mention this is one of the greatest players in franchise history and isn’t likely to be shoved out the door over $11.5 million,” Graziano said. Kelce’s decision will impact the entire Kansas City offense and will continue to be a top storyline of the NFL offseason.
  • JAX Wide Receiver #13
    ESPN’s Dan Graziano believes there’s a 75 percent chance the Jaguars cut WR Christian Kirk this offseason.
    Kirk has one year remaining on his current deal and is scheduled to make $16.5 million in 2025. He missed much of the 2024 regular season after sustaining a broken collarbone in October, finishing the year with 27 catches for 379 yards and one touchdown on 47 targets. With Brian Thomas emerging as a dominant WR1 and Gabe Davis positioned as a downfield threat, along with a new regime in Jacksonville, could spell the end of Kirk’s run as a Jaguar, Graziano said. He added that Kirk’s contract “is reasonable enough that the Jaguars might be able to get something for him in a trade if he’s healthy.” Kirk, 28, would draw interest from wideout-needy teams if the Jags part ways with him in the coming weeks.
  • BAL Tight End #89
    ESPN’s Dan Graziano believes there’s a “good chance” Mark Andrews and the Ravens can “come up with a way to stay together” in 2025.
    Andrews, headed into his age-30 season, is set to make $11 million in 2025, with a $4 million roster bonus due on March 17. “His salary cap number is $16.9 million, and because his salary is not guaranteed, the Ravens could save $11 million on this year’s cap if they cut him before the roster bonus is due,” Graziano said. This isn’t the first time Andrews’ future with Baltimore has been in question. The Athletic’s Jeff Zrebiec said in January that the team could trade or extend Andrews this offseason, depending on their commitment to one of Lamar Jackson’s most reliable targets. The presence of productive TE Isaiah Likely — who has thrived in games Andrews has missed over the past two seasons — could make Andrews expendable for the Ravens. Andrews single-handedly cost the Ravens an appearance in the AFC title game last month with brutal late-game drops.
  • LAC Quarterback #10
    Chargers will be designated as the home team in Week 1’s game in São Paulo, Brazil.
    Justin Herbert and the Bolts will face a yet-to-be-named opponent in Brazil on September 5. This will mark the second straight season in which the NFL has hosted a game in Brazil; the Eagles beat the Packers in Brazil last September on a muddy field. Herbert and the Chargers will look to bounce back from a disappointing end to the 2024 season, a Wild Card meltdown against the Texans. The league will host seven international games during the 2025 season.
  • MIA Safety #8
    Dolphins are not expected to place the franchise tag on S Jevon Holland.
    Holland is on track to hit free agency as one of the top safeties on the market without a franchise tag. The Dolphins have seemingly declined to use the $19.6 million tag, a number that would have put Holland between Antoine Winfield Jr. and Derwin James among the highest paid safeties in the league. Instead, the Dolphins will have a chance to negotiate a long-term deal with Holland as he also tests free agent waters. Expect the 24-year-old to get a contract near the top of the market.
  • LAR Coaching Staff
    Rams promoted offensive assistant and passing game specialist Nate Scheelhaase to passing game coordinator.
    After receiving plenty of interest for an offensive coordinator job this coaching cycle, Scheelhaase stayed with the Rams. In turn, the team promoted him to passing game coordinator. The 34-year-old has gained pedigree through working with Matthew Stafford and the Rams offense and now gets a higher title. Expect Scheelhaase to remain an up-and-comer in coaching cycles for future seasons.
  • TB Wide Receiver #14
    Buccaneers and WR Chris Godwin agreed to push back his contract void date to the day before the start of the new league year.
    Godwin’s contract was set to void, which would have triggered $18 million in dead money against the Buccaneers’ salary cap. By delaying the contract void date, the Bucs and Godwin have time to hammer out a potential new contract and the team can save more money. Since being drafted by the Bucs in 2017, Godwin has been a productive starter opposite Mike Evans and is set to hit free agency for a payday. He is coming off a broken ankle and with the Bucs not franchise-tagging him, Godwin has a chance to either re-up with the team or test the free agent waters.
  • LV Wide Receiver #86
    Raiders signed WR Kyle Philips, formerly of the Philadelphia Eagles.
    Philips was originally a fifth-round pick of the Titans, spending two seasons with them before joining the Eagles’ practice squad for 2024. He did not see any in-game action during the season, but comes away with a Super Bowl ring. Now, the Raiders add Philips as depth heading into the new league year.
  • MIN Cornerback #7
    Vikings agreed with CB Byron Murphy to push back his contract void date to the day before the start of the new league year.
    Murphy’s contract was set to void this week, but by pushing back Murphy’s void date, he cannot be franchise-tagged. Now, the Vikings have more time to work on a new contract with him before he hits free agency next month. QB Sam Darnold’s contract is still set to be voided, meaning he can be franchise-tagged while Murphy cannot.
