Saquon Barkley rushed 24 times and saw two targets. Gainwell played some on passing downs but was otherwise uninvolved. With Barkley looking like the focal point of the Eagles’ offense, Gainwell is nothing more than a trusted name for pass protection. He isn’t on the fantasy radar heading into Week 2.

The deal is worth “up to” $4.75 million. Jones is a depth signing who has just 297 snaps on offense over the past two years for the Ravens and Cardinals, though he has fairly extensive experience for a reserve. He’s a solid enough addition for an offensive line in need of a makeover.

Silver adds that Bosa would “get less than $10 million in 2025 in either scenario.” Bosa has missed multiple games due to injury in each of the last three seasons, most recently sitting out Weeks 3-7 after suffering a Week 2 hip injury. The talented 29-year-old still racked up five regular season sacks and 34 quarterback pressures; the latter being his highest sum since 2021. These offers are perhaps a tad light but Bosa may take the opportunity to lineup opposite his brother, Nick Bosa, with the 49ers, regardless.

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.
