The Wilson caveat is doing some heavy lifting here as the Browns can have the former Steeler if they want him. Most of the quarterback dominoes have already fallen and Aaron Rodgers appears to be more sought after than Wilson. Still, Russ could wind up elsewhere, putting the Browns in a serious bind if they don’t figure out the position during the draft. If signed, Wentz would join recently-acquired Kenny Pickett as the Week 1 starting options. Wentz made one start for the Chiefs last year, throwing for 98 yards in a meaningless Week 18 contest. Wentz is purely a bridge quarterback and a weak one at best, but the Browns could be forced to give him a shot as they pick up the pieces following the failed Deshaun Watson trade.

The individual suing Sneed reportedly alleges that either “Sneed or Sneed’s personal assistant shot at him while” parked at a car dealership. The individual’s lawyer also claims that there is video evidence to support the allegation. Other details are currently unknown. Sneed also rehabbing a quad injury suffered in-season last year.

Though news of the injury broke only today, it appears as though the Saints’ have known “about this recent shoulder issue” for some time. The Saints brain trust evidently sprung a leak, though, and now the rest of the QB-needy teams know that leapfrogging the Saints’ No. 9 overall pick may be required to secure a high-end prospect. Carr’s 2025 availability remains unknown.

The Broncos added former Saints interim head coach and long-time special team coach Darren Rizzi to their staff this offseason. He holds both the special teams coach and assistant head coach roles. Beat reporter Chris Tomasson reports that Rizzi is said to have “pushed” for Franklin’s signing this offseason, after watching Franklin dominate NFC South special teams play as a member of the Panthers. Franklin has totaled at least seven special teams tackles in each of the last four seasons.

The former Chargers’ fourth-round pick has been unable to remain on-field over the last two seasons, suffering a season-ending foot injury in November 2023, followed by an undisclosed season-ending injury in August 2024. Rumph has flashed pass-rushing and tackling traits when available, posting a career-best 10.3 percent pass-rush win rate in nine 2023 games. He has 26 quarterback pressures, three sacks and 19 tackles to his name.

Peterson will head to Arizona on Monday to officially retire as a member of the Cardinals. Peterson was named to eight Pro Bowls while earning three first-team All-Pro nods. He finishes with 70 career passes defended, 37 interceptions, 608 tackles and three sacks.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported Derek Carr’s new shoulder injury little more than an hour before Duncan broke the Shough news. This does not seem like a coincidence. With Carr’s 2025 season jeopardized, both by the shoulder injury and his poor play in 2024, the Saints must engage in an exhaustive pre-draft search for a long-term answer at the quarterback position.

King logged just 74 defensive snaps last season but had a career-best year as a special teamer. His 89.2 PFF special teams grade leads all Falcons players with at least 100 special teams snaps, and he totaled two qualifying tackles. On defense, he broke up one pass and notched six tackles.

The Cardinals already roster backups Jacoby Brissett and Clayton Tune. Bringing Huntley aboard would give them another proven, if unexceptional option. He started five games for the Dolphins in 2024, completing 86-of-133 passes for 831 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions and rushing 26 times for 135 yards and two touchdowns while fumbling six times.

Kohou primarily serves as a slot defensive back, though he occasionally mans the perimeter. He notched three pass breakups, two interceptions, 40 tackles and two quarterback pressures last season.
