ESPN’s D.J. Bien-Aime reports C.J. Stroud worked on his speed to help him evade defenders in the pocket.

2 minutes ago

Stroud attributes his shoulder soreness from early OTAs and minicamps that kept him from throwing the ball to “extra work” with the Texans training staff this offseason, which is the main reason this is notable. “I’ve been working really hard on getting my body right -- losing body fat, trying to be faster, stronger,” Stroud told Bien-Aime. Stroud is an interesting QB2 this offseason, perhaps someone who could get back to QB1 status if everything clicks in Nick Caley’s new offense. The price makes him an ideal superflex investment at the moment.

The Athletic’s Jourdan Rodrigue believes rookie second-round TE Terrance Ferguson is a potential breakout player in 2025.

“To be clear, Rams coach Sean McVay finally has to commit to a significant increase in 12 personnel for Ferguson, a rookie second-round pick, to truly emerge this season. But the offense has trended that way at times, especially last season,” Rodrigue adds. It would be surprising for Ferguson to emerge immediately, but perhaps the Rams are getting ready to zig their offense in a new direction in 2025. The rookie tight end is lightly-drafted and best-approached as a dynasty asset, but it should at least be on the radar that he produces sooner than expected.

Jets signed CB Sauce Gardner to a four-year, $120.4 million contract extension.

45 minutes ago

He will make $30.1 million per season, eclipsing the $30 million per season that Derek Stingley Jr. signed earlier this offseason by a mere $100,000 per year. ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Gardner is due $85.653 million in guarantees and that this extension will tie him to the Jets for the next six seasons. Gardner had a down 2024 after posting coverage grades of 90.8 and 90.0 in his first two years, but is generally expected to bounce back in HC Aaron Glenn’s more aggressive, man-focused system in 2025. This concludes major extensions for the Jets and they’ve done exceedingly rational things under Glenn and GM Darren Mougey.

The Athletic’s Joseph Person believes Xavier Legette’s production should increase this season.

1 hour ago

Person notes “the arrival of No. 8 pick Tetairoa McMillan should take some pressure off Legette.” Legette’s eight drops in his rookie season were dispiriting, but the second-year receiver should hold a major role in Carolina’s passing game again in 2025 and he struggled to stay healthy last year. Legette makes for a good WR4/WR5 stab as someone with an ostensible path to a lot of playing time, even if on paper he would seem to be behind McMillan and Adam Thielen in the target pecking order.

Jahmyr Gibbs said he’s being split out wide “way more than I was the last two years.”

1 hour ago

Gibbs had an incredible season as a receiver in 2024, with a 74.8 PFF grade and 11.2 YAC per reception. He split out wide on 39 snaps in 2024 and 45 more in 2023. This shouldn’t cause a major reckoning of Gibbs’ fantasy value — we already know he’s great and that the Lions want to put the ball in his hands — but it could be a nice boon for PPR formats if Gibbs was more involved in the passing game.

Dereck Lively II underwent surgery on his right foot and is now in a protective boot.

1 hour ago

According to ESPN’s Shams Charania, the procedure was done to clean up bone spurs in Lively’s right foot. The expectation is that he should be ready for the start of training camp in late September. Also, reported that the handling of Lively’s injury led to a disagreement between members of the Mavericks’ medical staff. Four staff members, including director of athletic performance Keith Belton, were dismissed in May. With Kyrie Irving and Anthony Davis recovering from knee and eye injuries, respectively, three of Dallas’ critical players are using the offseason to recover. In the case of Irving, he is not expected to be available until well into the 2025-26 season.
