It was a thoroughly sluggish Ravens debut for the Big Dog, who capped Baltimore’s marathon opening drive with a five-yard score and was then barely heard from again. It wasn’t all Henry’s fault, as the Ravens’ line couldn’t block or even line up right, while Baltimore spent almost the entire game in trail mode, leading to an avalanche of third-down snaps for Justice Hill. It wasn’t what we wanted to see, but the only thing Henry could need is improved Week 2 game script against the Raiders to get back on track.

Jones has put together a successful UDFA career, having worked his way upward, through backup roles, before taking on starting duties last season, manning the Dolphins’ left guard spot. Jones will compete for a starting role with the Cowboys, who lost stalwart RG Zack Martin to retirement this offseason.

Johnson provides depth in the secondary and reliable special teams skills. Raiders head coach Pete Carroll has long appreciated players with diverse skill sets, who can contribute in multiple facets of the game. While Johnson may not be a high-snap defensive player, he will be given a chance to contribute in his own way.

The Steelers and Giants currently appear to be the frontrunners for the veteran quarterback, although Florio reports it’s the Steelers currently in the driver’s seat. Rodgers has indicated he intends to play for two more years and the Steelers give him the best chances of doing so. They also have a more sturdy roster around him, especially after adding DK Metcalf earlier Monday. Those two aspects combine with an increased chance at the postseason in Pittsburgh to make them the likeliest landing spot for Rodgers, particularly after the team parted ways with both Russell Wilson and Justin Fields earlier in the week. There isn’t anything yet set in stone, but the two sides could reportedly reach an agreement as early as Tuesday.

The deal marks Cisco’s first season away from the Jaguars, who drafted him in the 2021 NFL draft’s third round. The 24-year-old safety has forced incompletions at a 20.0 percent rate, or better, in 3-of-4 seasons. He can be expected to compete for one of the two starting roles alongside incumbent S Tony Adams.

Murphy was poised to hit the open market come Wednesday but the team ultimately retained his services through a contract that makes his the fourth highest paid cornerback in the league. After beginning his career in Arizona, Murphy has played the last two seasons with the Vikings and brings familiarity with defensive coordinator Brian Flores’ system. Murphy and the Vikings had a rollercoaster offseason with ongoing negotiations, ultimately able to come to a meeting of the minds before the new league year begins Wednesday.

Schultz notes that the Pats want to trade him to a situation where he can continue to develop. He said the team should be able to get a deal done. New England has agreed to terms with Josh Dobbs on a two-year, $8 million contract. That takes care of the backup gig and leaves Milton without much of a role on the team. The Pats almost certainly signed Dobbs knowing Milton would be traded down the road. The cannon-armed quarterback played the bulk of New England’s Week 18 finale last year and threw for 241 yards plus a touchdown. He also rushed for a touchdown. Milton remains a developmental option, but he has the physical tools of a starting quarterback. Staring down a weak free agent crop and an underwhelming draft class, someone will take a shot on Milton this offseason.

The Panthers signed two defensive tackles at the beginning of free agency earlier Monday, ultimately retaining Tuttle via restructure. The veteran defensive tackle will take a $3.5 million pay cut, with his new contract guaranteeing him only $500 thousand with a maximum value of $3 million.

The deal was reported to be in the works earlier this evening and the ink should be dry later this week. It’s slightly surprising to see Harris only land a one-year deal, but the bruising back can make “up to” $9.25 in 2025 and then hit the open market again next year. Harris will take over as the Chargers’ top option with JK Dobbins yet to be re-signed by the team and Gus Edwards released ahead of free agency. Harris topped 1,000 rushing yards in all four seasons with the Steelers but hasn’t pushed past 1,043 yards since his rookie season. There isn’t much upside for the Chargers with this signing, but Harris is a competent runner who can handle the grind of the NFL season, something none of LA’s backs managed in 2025. With more touchdown opportunities than he saw in Pittsburgh, Harris could stick at the back of the RB2 fantasy ranks if he avoids major competition for touches via the draft.

The team’s “sixth man” along the offensive line quickly developed into a fan favorite after continually reporting as eligible, routinely being found in a route near the end zone from jumbo formations. Skipper has experience at both guard and tackle and also gives the Lions a viable backup along the offensive line should injuries arise in 2025.
