Moseley signed a one-year deal with the Lions last offseason but tore his ACL in his Week 1 debut. With the Lions still interested in seeing what the soon-to-be 28-year-old corner can add to their defense, the two sides have opted to reunite on a one-year deal, giving Moseley a chance to work his way into the fold next season. Through his first five NFL seasons, Moseley started in 33 of 45 games with the 49ers, totaling 162 tackles and four interceptions. Playing in a Lions’ secondary that is still in need of help, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Moseley earn significant playing time if he’s fully recovered from his injury.

McNeill’s Week 15, 2024 ACL tear made this transaction a formality, as it was always expected. Lions head coach Dan Campbell previously said McNeill was expected to miss both training camp and the “early part of the season.”

The reason for Decker’s PUP listing was not given. He dealt with a knee injury late in the 2025 season, though. Also listed in the active/PUP transaction are CB Khalil Dorsey, OG Miles Frazier, DL Alim McNeill, LB Malcolm Rodriguez, DL Mekhi Wingo. Players with this designation may be removed from it at any time this summer.

Sources tell ESPN that “the lawsuit was settled in July 2015 for an undisclosed sum,” and stems from Howell’s time at Booz Allen Hamilton. Per the report, two player reps “were surprised to learn of the lawsuit,” saying, “the subject never came up” when the group voted Howell into his current position in June 2023. “However, two other players, who sat on the union’s executive committee that vetted and chose Howell as a finalist in 2023, disputed those accounts,” saying, “they worked closely” with search firm Russell Reynolds Associates regarding this and other matters. The latter two executive committee members, “at times,” could not recall details and/or declined to divulge details of Howell’s interview process. Prior ESPN reporting on Howell’s 34 years at Booz Allen Hamilton noted that “the firm paid a $377 million fine to settle a long-standing whistleblower lawsuit from the federal government that alleged overcharging by the firm,” which was announced “a month after the NFLPA’s executive committee hired Howell to be its executive director.” Howell served as “the company’s chief financial officer from 2016 to 2022.”

Earlier today, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that “the NFL can expedite its disciplinary process and Rice is likely to receive a multi-game suspension.” Maske’s source suggests otherwise. We have no way of knowing which source to rely upon but Schefter’s report could cause Rice’s ADP to dip in an advantageous manner. Regardless, were Rice to be suspended, it would likely only be an issue for fantasy managers early in the year. Should Rice be suspended and return in Weeks 4-6, he would arrive in time to boost lineups as the bye weeks begin.

The Bears have now signed two of their three second-round picks, having kicked things off by signing DT Shemar Turner earlier today. Only WR Luther Burden remains as the Bears’ lone, unsigned second-round pick. Trapilo will compete with incumbent OT Braxton Jones for the starting left tackle job. Jones has been recovering from ankle surgery and is expected to participate in the Bears’ training camp.

This is a welcome development for Harvey and fantasy managers alike. Broncos rookies reported to the team facility yesterday, as the team prepares to begin training camp next week. Head coach Sean Payton recently indicated that he “expects the depth chart to automatically reveal itself” during training camp, where Harvey will jockey for position against the recently signed J.K. Dobbins. While Dobbins’ pass-protection skills perhaps give him an advantage over Harvey in the competition for the third-down role, Harvey proved himself as a dual-threat playmaker at UCF. This is a training camp battle worth following closely.

The Chargers drafted Williams with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2017 NFL Draft. He spent his first seven seasons with the team before being released during the 2024 offseason. He had torn an ACL six months earlier, in September 2023. Williams spent the 2024 season playing for the Jets and later the Steelers, before ultimately finding his way back to the Chargers this offseason. He retires having caught 330-of-524 targets for 5,104 yards and 32 touchdowns. Williams was known as one of the NFL’s premier jump-ball wide receivers in his prime.

The Colts’ first training camp practice takes place on July 23rd. Fox 59’s Mike Chappell reports it remains to be seen whether Richardson will be “ready for a normal workload” next Wednesday, noting that head coach Shane Steichen previously indicated that Richardson will be eased into throwing. ESPN’s Stephen Holder adds that Richardson “has been in Florida for weeks working with his personal coaches throwing the ball with velocity.” The Colts are hoping Richardson will be able to compete for the starting job sooner rather than later. As things currently stand, Daniel Jones appears to be the safer bet to start in Week 1, but this is an important first step for Richardson.

Addison’s guilty plea is an informal term known as “wet reckless.” Per Cornell Law School, wet reckless varies state to state and is used when an individual charged with a DUI offense pleads down to a reckless driving offense. The plea removes alcohol-related charges while acknowledging that they were initially present. Per Younger, “Addison will pay a standard fine and complete two online courses after which we expect that his probation will be terminated early in six months.” ESPN’s Kevin Seifert outlines the next step for Addison, writing, “now we will see how the NFL reacts.” A 2025 suspension is still possible.
