  • SF Wide Receiver #18

    Chris Conley (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.
    The backup receiver garnered mild fantasy interest from some, given the 49ers’ long list of injuries. Conley appears unlikely to seize the moment, even in a rotational capacity, now dealing with a hamstring injury of his own.
  • PHI Linebacker
    Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
    Eagles EDGE Nolan Smith suffered a torn triceps in the team’s Super Bowl LIX victory.
    The second-year first-round pick out of Georgia evidently played through the injury in the second half. He went under the knife Wednesday and is expected to be ready for Week 1. More than likely, he will be good to go for training camp. 2024 was a nice leap for Smith after he made zero rookie starts. He played roughly 70 percent of the Eagles’ snaps and tallied 6.5 sacks. That does not include the four QB takedowns he logged during the postseason. Heading into his age-24 campaign, Smith could make another big leap.
  • JAX Front Office
    Jaguars hired Rams director of scouting strategy James Gladstone as general manager.
    Gladstone was one of several candidates to replace Trent Baalke, but the Jaguars finally were able to come a decision Friday. Gladstone has been with the Rams for the last eight seasons — the last four as a director of scouting strategy — and is widely respected around the industry. It’s been proven time and again that if you need to go outside your org to make a hire, the Rams are the best place to start. 34-year-old Gladstone inherits a Jacksonville roster that is not bereft of talent, but needs a quality offseason or two to become a true competitor in the AFC.
  • PIT Tight End #89
    Steelers signed TE Donald Parham, formerly of the Broncos.
    Parham spent 2024 on the Broncos’ practice squad but last took an NFL snap with the Chargers in 2023. He was a red zone weapon in LA, scoring 11 touchdowns on 67 catches during his four seasons with the Bolts. Steelers OC Arthur Smith uses multiple tight ends more than almost any other play-caller in the league, giving Parham a path to a roster spot this summer.
  • FA Defensive End #95
    Bears released EDGE DeMarcus Walker.
    The Bears already have plenty of cap space. This move plus Gerald Everett’s release will put them above $70 million in cap space as free agency approaches. Walker signed a three-year, $21 million contract in Chicago two offseasons ago. He totaled seven sacks with the Bears and started all 17 games last year. Walker will have some takers in free agency, though he will likely be resigned to a one or two-year deal this time around.
  • ARI General Manager
    Cardinals GM Monti Ossenfort said the team is going to be “active” in free agency.
    With over $76 million in cap space, we would expect nothing less. Arizona has more cap space in 2025 than all but three teams. The Cardinals’ offense was solid in 2024 but failed to reach its full potential. Having drafted offensive players with their first pick in three consecutive drafts, you would expect more than a 12-place finish in scoring. As Ossenfort noted, the team also has a few key extensions to make. Trey McBride just posted a breakout season of 111 receptions for 1,146 yards and only has one year left on his rookie contract. Keeping him around long-term will be one of the front office’s top priorities heading into the offseason.
  • FA Tight End #14
    Bears released TE Gerald Everett.
    The move is hardly a surprise. Everett was brought in as one of OC Shane Waldron’s guys. The two had worked together for five years before 2024. Everett held a part-time role early in the season but quickly fell out of the mix on offense. Waldron was fired well before the end of the season. Everett ended the year with eight catches for 36 yards. His release will save the Bears $5.5 million in cap space. Soon to be 31 years old, Everett will look for work as a backup tight end in 2025.
  • BAL Kicker #9
    The NFL has spoken to three women who have accused Justin Tucker of inappropriate sexual behavior.
    Per The Baltimore Banner’s team of journalists reporting on the accusations, league officials were in Baltimore this week to speak with the three women. Two more women are expected to meet with the league in the coming weeks. There a 16 massage therapists spanning eight spas who have accused Tucker of inappropriate behavior. Head coach John Harbaugh previously said the Ravens have a “kind of zero tolerance” policy for players accused of sexual misconduct. The Ravens will likely let the league’s investigation run its course before taking any action, but it’s possible Tucker has taken his last snap in Baltimore.
  • CIN Long Snapper #48
    Bengals signed LS Cal Adomitis to a one-year contract extension.
    The Bengals are getting their big names squared away early with Adomitis and punter Ryan Rehkow both receiving contract extensions in the past week. Adomitis signed in Cincy as a UDFA in 2022 and has been with the team ever since. He logged three special teams tackles in 2024.
  • LAR Front Office
    Jaguars interviewed Rams director of scouting strategy James Gladstone for their general manager vacancy.
    Gladstone is one of five finalists for the Jags’ general manager vacancy. He previously participated in a virtual interview and is in Jacksonville for his second interview with the team. Gladstone has been with the Rams for eight seasons and has held his current title for four. Though the Rams haven’t always had the most resources during the draft, Gladstone’s department hit it out of the park this time around, nabbing a pair of standout defensive linemen in eventual DROY Jared Verse and Braden Fiske with their first two picks. He has worked closely with Rams GM Les Snead and is well on his way to a general manager job of his own at this pace.
  • NO Defensive Coordinator
    FOX NFL’s Jordan Schultz reports the Saints have hired 49ers assistant HC Brandon Staley for their defensive coordinator vacancy.
    Staley was always going to be the pick once New Orleans tabbed Kellen Moore as their next head coach. Moore spent a year as the Chargers’ offensive coordinator during Staley’s tenure as the team’s head coach. The roles will be reversed in The Big Easy. Staley called the league’s top defense in his only season as the Rams’ defensive coordinator before struggling to get his side of the ball in order with the Chargers. After the team fired him in 2023, Staley joined the 49ers staff. If all goes well in New Orleans, Staley could be in the running for another head coaching job in a few years.
