Patriots placed WR Mack Hollins, TE Austin Hooper, OT Vederian Lowe, and LB Jahlani Tavai on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list.
More notable than the names placed on the PUP list to begin camp is a glaring name absent - Stefon Diggs. That suggests the veteran wide receiver is progressing well in his rehab from a torn ACL suffered in Week 8 of the 2024 season. Diggs was the subject of potential release rumors before reporting to OTAs at the beginning of June, now appearing to be a legitimate value at his current ADP in both best ball and redraft leagues through July. Diggs comes to New England amidst innumerable turnover as the franchise attempts to give quarterback Drake Maye all the tools to hasten his development at the NFL level.
49ers released S George Odum.
The veteran safety primarily contributed to special teams but notched 14 tackles, 5 passes defensed, and one interception in 40 games with the 49ers over the previous three seasons. Odum has started only 10 games during his seven-year NFL career, mostly playing as a package player in the secondary in addition to his special teams contributions. He could catch on quickly with another franchise considering his abilities on special teams, highlighted by an All-Pro designation following the 2020 season.
Saints signed DE Jonathan Bullard, formerly of the Vikings.
Bullard reunites with defensive coordinator Brandon Staley after playing under him for two years in Chicago, bringing a level of familiarity to a defense undergoing numerous changes this offseason. Expect Bullard to mix into early-down packages after performing well against the run over his previous three seasons in Minnesota, potentially hitting the sidelines in clear passing situations.
Bengals placed TE Erick All on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list.
This was the expected outcome after All suffered from complications arising from a previous surgery in college. That left the second-year tight end looking at two offseason surgeries instead of one after suffering a torn ACL in Week 9 of his rookie year. Expect Mike Gesicki to serve as the primary pass-catching tight end for the Bengals in the coming season, a role that is likely to yield a handful of spike weeks considering the general lack of options behind Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins.
Saints signed QB Tyler Shough to a four-year, $10.795 million contract.
The fully guaranteed contract includes annual roster bonus structure, meaning Shough would receiver the bulk of his yearly compensation each year during the first week of training camp. At pick No. 40, Shough now becomes the latest draft pick to receive a fully guaranteed contract and also the only pick from the 2025 class to receiver the annual roster bonus. While reports out of New Orleans continue to indicate a legitimate battle for the starting job under center heading into the new season, this contract seems to suggest the team is investing heavily in Shough as their quarterback of the future. Wether or not we see the Saints take a muted approach to the 2025 season to better set themselves up for an impending rebuild remains to be seen, but the collective fantasy community should surely view this as a plus for Shough’s chances of starting the regular season under center for the Saints.
NFL Network’s Cameron Wolfe said the Jaguars think Travis Hunter “can impact the game a little bit more as a wide receiver” than he can as a cornerback.
Wolfe also critically said that “there is a belief” that Hunter will play both offense and defense in Week 1. The team views Hunter as a “more natural cornerback,” so they intend to “catch him up on receiver reps” in training camp. Hunter is best viewed as a high-upside flex option at this time, given the unknowns regarding his snap counts.
