Jacksonville Jaguars head coach Liam Coen recently told SiriusXM NFL Radio that he plans to aid quarterback Trevor Lawrence through the team's scheme and an improved run game in 2025. The new head coach intends to give his QB the "answers to the test." "Obviously, once we get into the building, some of the football aspects: the formations, the motions, the shifts," Coen said. "But for us to help him truly...man, we've got to be able to run the football a little bit better." Jacksonville has been in the bottom third of the league regarding yards on the ground per game over the last two seasons, and Lawrence hasn't been able to overcome the team's deficits on his own merit. It's possible all he needs is the right head coach, and Coen's offense in Tampa Bay was impressive in 2024 -- ranking fourth in points (29) and third in yards (393.2) per game. The Clemson product will be a cheap pick in drafts this summer.

The Las Vegas Raiders have released defensive back Jack Jones, per the NFL's Ian Rapoport. Jones was drafted in the fourth round by the New England Patriots in 2022 -- spending just one season with the team -- and found his way to the Raiders a year later. The 27-year-old is still on his rookie deal and was solid for Las Vegas last season, recording 69 tackles and three interceptions. He has at least two picks in each of his first three seasons. Jones played the third-most snaps of any Raiders defender in 2024 (94.08%) and started 16 games for the team. It seems likely that a cornerback-needy team will snatch up the Arizona State alum once he's cleared waivers, considering his relatively cheap contract and production.

The Athletic's Dane Brugler reports that Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe has accepted his invitation to the 2025 NFL Draft. The 22-year-old was a two-year starter for the Crimson Tide and posted nearly identical stats over his final two seasons with the team. It's worth mentioning that Milroe's touchdown pass total dipped in 2024 (16), and he tossed more interceptions (11). However, his rushing production increased by nearly 200 yards, and he piled up 20 (!) more scores with his feet. Milroe's decision to attend the draft is puzzling, as he's unlikely to be selected in the first round, projecting as more of a Day 2 or Day 3 pick. Still, he's an intriguing fantasy asset pending draft capital due to his physical gifts as a rusher. The Texas native will be one to watch in the draft.

Per the team, the Chicago Bears have signed defensive back Shaun Wade to a one-year $1.1 million contract. The Ohio State product spent 2024 on the Los Angeles Chargers practice squad but appeared in 20 games for the New England Patriots (six starts) from 2021-2023. Wade was drafted in the fifth round by the Ravens in 2021, and after spending the offseason and training camp with Baltimore, they flipped him to New England ahead of the regular season. His most productive campaign came in 2023 when he notched 23 tackles in 14 games. The fifth-year pro also has some experience on special teams, so he may contribute there for Chicago. Otherwise, Wade will likely serve as depth for the organization. He's listed third -- unofficially -- on the team's depth chart at nickelback.

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Isaiah Rodgers is an early front-runner to start across from Byron Murphy Jr. in 2025, according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert. Rodgers appeared in 15 games in 2024 for the Philadelphia Eagles but took only 36 percent of their defensive snaps. Minnesota defensive coordinator Brian Flores took a liking to Rodgers early in free-agent evaluations this offseason. The Vikings haven't rewarded Rodgers with a starting job just yet, but head coach Kevin O'Connell said he sees him as an "every-down impact guy" who could also contribute in the return game on special teams. The 27-year-old was a sixth-round pick (211th overall) by the Indianapolis Colts in 2020 out of Massachusetts. He played the first three years of his NFL career in Indy before being suspended for all of 2023 due to a violation of the league's gambling policy. Rodgers inked a two-year, $15 million deal with Minnesota this offseason.

The Minnesota Vikings don't know yet if wide receiver Jordan Addison will face a suspension in 2025 for a misdemeanor DUI citation in 2024, but if he ends up being suspended, the Vikings have expressed confidence in Jalen Nailor as a worthy short-term replacement, according to ESPN's Kevin Seifert. When Addison missed two full games and part of a third last year with an ankle injury, Nailor caught seven passes for 106 yards and three touchdowns and went on to set career-highs in catches (28), yards (414) and TDs (six) while appearing in a career-high 17 games. An Addison suspension to begin the 2025 campaign would make Nailor a much more intriguing sleeper pick in fantasy drafts this fall. "I think this is a massive, massive year for his career," O'Connell said. The former sixth-rounder in 2022 will be in a contract year in 2025.

Dynasty | The Cardinals have signed tight end Trey McBride to a contract extension. Dynasty Analysis: It's a four-year deal worth $76 million. The $19 million average value per year makes McBride the highest paid tight end in NFL history and includes a massive $43 million in guaranteed money. McBride was fantastic last year, scoring up at the top with the likes of Brock Bowers and George Kittle in the elite tight end category. His 111/1.146/2 may actually indicate his floor as the touchdown total he's posted (six in 49 career games) is honestly bound to increase at some point. McBride remains one of a handful of tight ends worth selling the farm for in dynasty leagues.

Dynasty | Trey Lance has signed a one-year deal with the Chargers. Dynasty Analysis: And somehow this is where his career is. Once thought of as an elite-level prospect, Lance couldn't stay healthy in San Francisco or beat out Cooper Rush in Dallas, leading to very little interest this off-season. He eventually flirted with playing in Canada, but the Chargers finally found reason to bring him aboard on a relatively inexpensive (around $6 million) contract. He'll presumably need to beat out Taylor Heinicke to secure a roster spot, but the Chargers could keep him behind Justin Herbert, regardless. Still, there's really no dynasty value left here.

Dynasty | Wide receiver Julio Jones has retired after 13 seasons. Dynasty Analysis: Jones ends his career with 914 catches, 13,703 yards, and 66 touchdowns with the Falcons, Titans, Eagles and Bucs. His 2018 season with Atlanta was his best as he crushed fantasy competition with a 113/1,677/8 campaign as the WR1. His career will ultimately be defined as great, but not quite dominant as he only scored those 66 touchdowns, despite playing in 166 career games. He also never could return to form after an injury limited him to just nine games in 2020 as well, effectively ending his time in Atlanta and turning into more of a journeyman receiver. Jones was a fantasy staple for more than a decade and after not playing last season and clearly not having any interest out there, it was time for him to call it a career. Dynasty managers moved on long ago.

The Las Vegas Raiders are attempting to work out a trade for cornerback Jack Jones, according to the Las Vegas Review-Journal's Vincent Bonsignore. If the team cannot work out a trade, they plan to release Jones on Monday. Off-field issues and questions about his effort have made the 27-year-old defensive back expendable for the Raiders this offseason, even though he set career-highs in 2024 in tackles (69), interceptions (three) and pass breakups (16) in 17 games played (16 starts). He has one year left on his current deal and could attract some interest on the trade market. If the Raiders release him, Jones should quickly latch on with another team looking for depth in their secondary. Before last season, Jones had 67 tackles (53 solo), four interceptions (three returned for touchdowns), 11 pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 25 games (five starts) with the Raiders and New England Patriots.

University of Colorado head coach Deion Sanders thinks that his son and quarterback Shedeur Sanders and Heisman Trophy winner are the top two players available in this year's NFL draft. "They should be going 1-2 [in the draft], that's the way I feel about it. They are the two best players in this draft. ... The surest bets in this draft are those two young men, and I didn't stutter or stammer when I said that," Deion said. Sanders and Hunter didn't take part in most of the position drills or physical testing at Colorado's Pro Day on Friday, but Sanders had a throwing session, and Hunter was one of the receivers who participated. Miami QB Cam Ward is believed to be the consensus top pick in this year's draft by the Titans at No. 1 overall, while Hunter is ranked at No. 1 on Mel Kiper Jr.'s big board. It would be a surprise if one of Sanders or Hunter fell outside of the top five in this year's draft.

Former Las Vegas Raiders defensive lineman Janarius Robinson agreed to an undisclosed deal with the Kansas City Chiefs on Friday. Robinson will add depth and pass-rushing ability to the team's defensive line under coordinator Steve Spagnuolo. The 25-year-old former fourth-rounder (134th overall) by the Minnesota Vikings in 2021 out of Florida State made his NFL debut with the Raiders in 2023 and has just 13 tackles (seven solo), 1.5 sacks, four QB hits and one pass breakup in the last two years in Vegas over 16 games (three starts). The 6-foot-5, 260-pound defensive end was suspended for the final three games of last season for violating the league's substance-abuse policy. Robinson will merely be hoping to impress the coaching staff enough to earn a 53-man roster spot this summer in training camp.

New York Jets restricted free-agent safety Tony Adams signed his restricted free-agent tender on Friday and will return to the organization for a fourth straight season in 2025. Adams had his second straight 80-plus-tackle season in 2024 with 84 total tackles (42 solo), his first career sack, an interception and six pass breakups in 15 games played (11 starts). The 26-year-old defensive back has become a key member of the secondary the last two years, having recorded a total of 166 tackles (96 solo), eight tackles for loss, one sack, four interceptions and 11 pass breakups in 30 games (26 starts). Barring additions through the upcoming NFL draft, Adams should be expected to serve as New York's starting strong safety this fall. In his first year in the NFL in 2022, he played in just 11 games (one start) and had 17 tackles (10 solo).

Former Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Julio Jones has officially announced his retirement. The Alabama product had an incredible run as a Falcon, with whom he spent nine seasons before serving three consecutive one-year stints with the Tennessee Titans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and Philadelphia Eagles. Jones tallied 914 receptions, 13,703 yards, and 66 touchdowns in 166 career games. The 35-year-old is the author of the third-highest single-season receiving yardage total of all time and ranks No. 16 on the all-time list of most receiving yards in a career. Jones was a spectacle on the field, with a rare blend of size, speed, and physicality that sought to give any defensive back fits. The former sixth-overall pick of the 2011 draft holds an excellent case for becoming a member of the Hall of Fame.

The Los Angeles Chargers have agreed to terms with free-agent quarterback Trey Lance on a one-year contract worth up to $6.2 million. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the news. The North Dakota state product will join his third squad after the San Francisco 49ers selected him third overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. Lance spent last season with the Cowboys and passed for 266 yards and one interception with no touchdowns in four games (one start). He added 41 yards on 11 rushes. He projects to compete with teammate Taylor Heinicke for the second-string QB job behind Justin Herbert. Due to injuries and inefficient play, the 24-year-old hasn't been afforded much playing time. However, his athletic, toolsy upside could give him a chance to unseat Heinicke as the QB2 in L.A.

Free-agent veteran offensive tackle Kelvin Beachum re-signed an undisclosed one-year deal to return to the Arizona Cardinals on Friday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Beachum will be entering his 14th NFL season in 2025 and his sixth with the Cardinals. The 35-year-old offensive lineman was originally drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers in the seventh round (248th overall) in 2012 out of SMU, and he spent the first four years of his NFL career in the Steel City. Beachum did start 12 of the 16 games he appeared in last year with Arizona, but he's mostly been a backup offensive tackle in recent seasons under head coach Jonathan Gannon. In 2023, he started just two of the 11 games he appeared in. However, Beachum brings plenty of experience to the team's offensive line and has the ability to play on either side.

After it was initially reported that University of Colorado wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter wasn't expected to work out at his school's Pro Day on Friday, NFL Network's James Palmer reports that Hunter has decided to run routes, according to a source. Hunter will work with quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who along with Hunter, is expected to be an early pick in this year's NFL draft. The 21-year-old dual-threat player has generational talent, and it wouldn't be a surprise to see him taken within the top three picks at the end of April. He was listed as a defensive back at the scouting combine in February and will most likely make more of an immediate impact on defense in the NFL, but whatever team drafts him will also certainly create a package of plays for him on offense as well. In his two seasons with the Buffaloes on offense, Hunter had 153 catches for 1,979 yards and 20 touchdowns.

The Dallas Cowboys added running backs Javonte Williams and Miles Sanders in free agency this offseason, but neither can be counted on as RB1 material, and The Athletic's Saad Yousuf writes that the Cowboys are still searching for their lead back. It's somewhat by design, as this year's draft class is friendly and deep and is set up nicely for teams like the Cowboys that are looking for a quality young player at RB. Boise State's Ashton Jeanty is the consensus top back in this year's class, but there's no guarantee he'll still be on the board when Dallas picks at No. 12 overall later this month. Yousuf writes that even if Jeanty is available when they are on the clock, it doesn't sound like the Cowboys are drooling over the chance to take him. Dallas could instead go with other highly graded players at a position of need, and there's also a chance that they'd be looking to trade back if the right offer presents itself.

Dynasty | The Patriots have traded quarterback Joe Milton to the Dallas Cowboys. Dynasty Analysis: As we reported yesterday, there was a lot of smoke around a trade of Milton and and just like that, he's gone the next day. The Cowboys are sending their compensatory fifth-round pick to the Patriots for Milton and a seventh-round pick in order to shore up the backup spot behind Dak Prescott. While Milton is no threat to the starting job in Dallas, he's shown real promise and could be worth a roster stash in dynasty leagues as a result.

The New York Giants have become the popular landing spot for former Colorado wide receiver and cornerback Travis Hunter following the organization's signing of quarterback Russell Wilson. With Wilson, Jameis Winston, and Tommy DeVito on the roster, the belief is New York could be choosing to address its franchise quarterback position in the future given the weak 2025 NFL Draft QB class. The team is likely interested in Miami's Cam Ward, but the Titans are asking for a significant package of first-round selections to move off the No. 1 overall pick. That said, the Giants could take the "best player available" approach with the No. 3 overall pick if they are not sold on Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders. If Hunter ends up in New York and plays wide receiver, his upside in Year 1 could be limited while playing alongside Malik Nabers and catching passes from an aging Wilson. That said, he is an elite talent, so he could exceed expectations right away.
