Player News
Jaguars signed fourth-round RB Bhayshul Tuten to a four-year contract.
The Jaguars have a running back situation that could best be described as “in flux” with Travis Etienne on the final year of his rookie deal and Tank Bigsby not exactly establishing himself in the early-down role last season. Management brought on Tuten and LeQuint Allen in the draft, where Jaguars GM James Gladstone made drafting Tuten early a part of his elevator pitch to Jaguars management during his interview. Eventually we’d bet on Tuten getting a shot at a big role in this backfield. The question is simply: when?
ESPN’s Rich Cimini believes Malachi Corley “faces an intense battle in training camp for a roster spot.”
Corley’s absence early in the offseason while he deals with an undisclosed injury has not helped. Jets OC Tanner Engstrand is quoted in the story as saying Corley is “going to have to find a way to catch himself up.” The previous coaching staff also reportedly wasn’t enamored with him after drafting him, noting his route running lacked precision and Cimini writing that his “maturity also came under scrutiny, with some in the organization privately questioning his approach.” Corley is not a lock for a roster spot despite what looks on paper to be a fairly weak Jets wideout room.
The Athletic’s Nick Kosmider believes RJ Harvey will be “a significant part of the offense.”
Asked about the J.K. Dobbins signing in a mailbag, Kosmider welcomed the opportunity to “dispel this narrative” and said if anything “Harvey has exceeded expectations during his early days in Denver.” While we’re sure Dobbins will get chances in the third-down role, we’re more aligned with Kosmider’s vision of how this plays out — if the Broncos wanted Dobbins to get more work than Harvey, they simply would have signed Dobbins before the draft. Training camp will probably be the point where we really start to understand what things look like in this backfield, but there’s no reason to shy away from Harvey yet.
Packers GM Brian Gutekunst said he’d like to extend OL Zach Tom and LB Quay Walker.
Gutekunst told Cheeshead TV that the Packers have had “really healthy conversations” with Tom “about locking him up and certainly that’s something we’d like to do.” Tom had an 87.8 PFF run block grade last year and has developed into an excellent right tackle, though he did notably struggle against the Eagles in the Wild Card round. Gutekunst also noted that they declined Walker’s fifth-year option only because outside linebackers are factored into the dollar amount.
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer believes the Dolphins are “past the point of no return” on Jalen Ramsey.
Despite the fact that we’re now 23 days past the post-June 1 cap hit coming into play, Ramsey has been caught in a value calculus. Teams are wary of overpaying for him in light of absorbing the remainder of his contract. Breer believes a trade will happen “on the doorstep of camp.” The Rams and Chargers were leaked to Adam Schefter as Ramsey’s preferred landing spots.
Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer believes former Raiders WR Henry Ruggs could be signed by an NFL team in 2026.
Ruggs is eligible for parole in August 2026 after being sentenced to three years in prison for felony DUI causing death and misdemeanor vehicular manslaughter. There’s a chance the NFL commissioner’s office may suspend him again — that’s unclear and the league office said they’d “review” the matter — but Ruggs would only be 27 at that point and could receive a second chance. It would almost undoubtedly be a situation where Ruggs was fighting for a roster spot, but assuming he earns parole, it wouldn’t be surprising if he were signed.
