He left Week 12’s game with the injury and did not return. Trenton Scott played in his absence. Wylie is in some danger of missing Week 13’s game against the Titans with the injury.

It’s possible a team swoops in at the last second and throws LA a late draft pick. That played out with Christian Kirk despite reports of his release. However, the Rams have been trying to get a deal done for over a month and haven’t found a partner. A deal seems nearly impossible at this point. Kupp will be an unrestricted free agent once the transaction wire runs later today. The former superstar receiver has struggled through injuries in recent seasons, playing in just 33 regular season games over the past three years. Kupp is still an elite possession receiver when healthy, but his ability to command targets at an elite level appears to be on the decline. He will have plenty of takers on the open market, though his days as a fantasy WR1 are likely over.

The former No. 2 overall pick stays in Washington after spending the 2024 seasons backing up rookie phenom Jayden Daniels. Mariota didn’t make any starts last year but did see the majority of snaps in Week 7 when the Daniels left early with an injury and Week 18 when Washington had their playoff bid secured. Mariota completed 34-of-44 passes for 364 yards and four scores. He also got a few snaps as a short-yardage specialist throughout the year. Mariota’s skill set fits Kliff Kingsbury’s offense well and his mobility makes him a good backup to the hyper-mobile Daniels.

The contract details haven’t been reported yet but it’s presumably a one-year deal for Reagor. The former first-round pick signed to the Bolts’ practice squad a few weeks into the 2024 season and was eventually called up midseason. He appeared in eight games and recorded seven catches for 100 yards. Reagor will be a depth option and a special teamer if he makes the Chargers’ 53-man roster this year.

Weaver most recently spent time on the Rams’ practice squad but took his latest NFL snap with the Texans early in the 2024 season. The former fourth-round pick spiked for 5.5 sacks in 2022, his second pro season, but has struggled to find a role across three teams ever since. He will be fighting for a roster spot as a rotational pass-rusher this summer.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Dye can make up to $8.5 million if he hits all of his incentives. The former fourth-round pick played out his rookie contract in Minnesota before signing a one-year deal in LA last offseason. He appeared in all 17 games and was credited with five starts. Dye totaled 57 tackles and 1.5 sacks as a backup linebacker and a high-volume special teams player. He should return for a similar role in 2025.

The deal is worth “up to” $5.5 million according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero. MVS is following Seahawks OC Klint Kubiak to Seattle after the two crossed paths in New Orleans last year. The Saints scooped him up after Buffalo cut him midseason. Despite hopping on the moving train, MVS picked up the offense with ease and was surprisingly productive. He caught 17 passes for 385 yards and four scores across eight games as a Saint. With Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf out of Seattle, Valdes-Scantling could play a starting role as the team’s primary field-stretcher this year.

Forrest played in 40 games for the Commanders over the past four seasons, drawing 17 starts. The Bills are intent on adding depth to their secondary this offseason. They re-signed S Damar Hamlin to a one-year deal on Wednesday.

The Rams have had no real takers in their bid to trade Kupp. They’ll likely be forced to release their longtime star, who would count as a $29.7 million hit against the salary cap in 2025. Kupp, 31, has been linked to the Giants. He could make sense for a number of wideout-needy teams, including the Seahawks, who recently traded DK Metcalf to the Steelers and parted ways with Tyler Lockett. Kupp saw major drop offs in key metrics last season and continues to struggle with various injuries.

Pierce spent all eight seasons with the Ravens. He played in 99 games since entering the league in 2016, sitting out the 2020 COVID season. Pierce started just one game in 2024. He’ll retire with 9.5 sacks and 19 tackles for loss over eight seasons.

Ford was considered a key special teams player in Cleveland over the past two years. He also played a rotational role in the Browns secondary, recording one interception over 33 games. Ford will join an Atlanta special teams unit graded by Pro Football Focus as last year’s eighth-worst.
