The IMG Academy product was an unheralded three-star prospect who spent two years working his way up the Wolverines’ depth chart before finally breaking into the lineup in 2021. That year he earned Honorable Mention All-American honors with a sterling 54.8 passer rating when targeted and 83.8 PFF coverage grade. Turner (5’11/178) raised his level of play last year by recording 11 PBU with a 46.5 completion rate en route to Second Team All-Big Ten status. What he lacks in size, he makes up for with savvy, technique, and speed. And by speed, we’re talking a ludicrous 4.26s which was the fastest time at the 2023 Combine. Turner backed his rare speed score with a 38.5 vertical (88th%) and 10’11” broad jump (96th%) for a very projectable 9.59 RAS. A true worker bee, he can trigger in a snap and accelerates like a roadster when he’s trailing. While he’s still filling out his frame, the biggest concern NFL teams have is does Turner have enough strength to hold up physically on the outside against bigger wideouts despite his lean upper body? While he spent most of his Michigan tenure on the boundary, Turner will need to improve his play strength to win consistently in the NFL.

Allen’s contract includes a record-setting $250 million guaranteed.

Hooper’s deal is worth up to $7 million. He finished last season with 45 receptions for 476 yards and three touchdowns, sharing the tight end room with Hunter Henry while the Patriots transitioned to Drake Maye at quarterback. New England decided to bring the 30-year-old back into the fold as a dependable pass-catcher for Maye. Though he is not likely to be a consistent fantasy player, Hooper adds valuable in-line reps to a Pats team still needing to build out their receiver room.

Landry reunites with his old Titans head coach Mike Vrabel, now the new Patriots head coach. He was released in a cap-saving move by the Titans this offseason after tallying 19.5 total sacks over the last two seasons. Landry made the Pro Bowl in 2021, leading to a five-year, $87.5 million deal with the Titans. However, he tore his ACL ahead of the 2022 season, losing a year of production on the new contract. Still a productive pass-rusher, Landry now slots right into Vrabel’s defensive line with the Patriots on a three-year deal that has a max value of $48 million.

Adams gets the west coast destination he wanted, signing for $26 million guaranteed with the Rams, who are now more likely than ever to move on from Cooper Kupp. The 32-year-old started last season with the Raiders but was dealt to the Jets to play with Aaron Rodgers. Though it did not lead to much success for the Jets, Adams still had his fifth-straight 1,000-yard season, putting up 85/1,063/8 in 14 games played between Las Vegas and New York. He will now catch passes from Matthew Stafford, who once again has two elite receivers in his arsenal. Puka Nacua will be strong target competition for Adams; fantasy managers can expect Adams to still be in the WR2 mix for 2025.

The Chargers join the Texans as another team Metcalf reportedly wants to land with in a trade. It has been rumored that the Seahawks are willing to accept a second-round pick for the 27-year-old, while he would likely sign an extension around $30 million a year with his new team. After releasing EDGE Joey Bosa, the Chargers have enough cap space to get a deal done, it would only be a matter of trade negotiations and if Jim Harbaugh and company would like to add Metcalf to what was a run-heavy offense.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Jones’ contract includes $15 million guaranteed. Traded twice last season, Jones finally found a home with the Seahawks, starting 10 games in Seattle last season. The Seahawks defense improved from Weeks 9-18 when he arrived, jumping to fifth in EPA per play during that stretch after ranking outside the top 20 prior to Week 9. Jones underwent offseason knee surgery to clean up knee issues and is now set to return for the middle of Mike Macdonald’s defense.

Goedert is heading into the final year of his contract and is set to be a free agent in 2026. Releasing Goedert would save the Eagles over $4 million, but also carry a dead cap hit over $7.7 million. A trade is more likely should the Eagles want to part ways and according to Anderson, the front office is hoping to get at least a fourth-round pick for him. The 30-year-old has been Philadelphia’s starting tight end since Zach Ertz’s departure, but has missed 10 games over the last two seasons. The Eagles may be looking to get younger at the position but it would make more sense to keep Goedert for the last year of his deal should a trade not materialize.

Bosa was released by the Chargers last week and is receiving interest around the league. The 49ers are reported to be talking to the 29-year-old, and now the Dolphins are expected to be interested in him as well. Bosa has 72 career sacks and would bolster a Dolphins defensive line that was No. 27 in the league in sacks last season. His biggest question mark is staying healthy, while the Dolphins dealt with injuries to edge rushers Jaelan Phillips and Bradley Chubb in 2024.
