The New York Giants officially re-signed quarterback Tommy DeVito on Saturday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. As things currently stand early in the offseason, DeVito is the only signal-caller that the Giants have under contract. That will surely change, though, with most folks believing that the Giants will not only sign or trade for a veteran QB but also draft one in April. The G-Men have the third overall selection in the 2025 NFL draft, with some of the belief that they could be aggressive in a potential trade up to the No. 1 overall spot with the Tennessee Titans to take Miami's Cam Ward. The Seahawks' trade of Geno Smith to the Raiders on Friday now puts Sam Darnold potentially in play as a veteran option for New York to pursue. DeVito, 26, made a little noise in six starts for the Giants in 2023 but played in only three games (two starts) last year and threw for 257 yards with no TDs or picks. He'll be a backup in 2025.

The Seattle Times' Bob Condotta writes that the Seattle Seahawks won't be pursuing Pittsburgh Steelers impending free-agent quarterback Russell Wilson despite trading Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday. Apparently, Seattle has no interest in a reunion with Wilson. Their top target is expected to be Minnesota Vikings impending free-agent QB Sam Darnold, who had a career year in Minnesota in 2024 after signing on as a one-year bridge signal-caller last offseason. Most folks were connecting the dots and projecting that Wilson would land with old head coach Pete Carroll in Vegas with the Raiders, but that' also out the window now that they just traded for Smith. If Pittsburgh elects to re-sign the younger Justin Fields and let Wilson walk in free agency this offseason, his best bets could be the New York Giants or New York Jets.

The New York Giants are exploring several quarterback options this offseason, including future Hall of Famer Aaron Rodgers, and are also in on Pittsburgh Steelers impending free-agent QB Russell Wilson, per FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. The Steelers continue to maintain open dialogue with both Wilson and Justin Fields, who is also a free agent, with the hopes of re-signing one of them. However, the common understanding around the league is that the Steelers prefer to keep Fields over Wilson, even though Wilson took over for Fields in 2024 and ended up starting 11 games. Wilson, a 10-time Pro Bowler, gave the Steelers offense a spark but finished the year on a five-game losing streak. The 36-year-old is nearing the end of his career and doesn't have much fantasy upside left in the tank, although he would be a nice match for receiver Malik Nabers, who had 1,204 yards and seven TDs in his rookie season in 2024.

Now that the Seattle Seahawks have opened up a quarterback destination by trading Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday, quarterback Sam Darnold is not expected to re-sign with the Minnesota Vikings, sources tell NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Minnesota is reportedly now focused on other options they've been pursuing in recent weeks, which include soon-to-be free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers and potentially re-signing Daniel Jones. The Vikings remain committed to last year's first-rounder, J.J. McCarthy (knee), as the future under center in Minnesota, but they want to have an insurance plan in case McCarthy isn't quite ready to take over the starting gig in 2025 after missing all of his rookie season due to a torn meniscus suffered in the preseason. Darnold had a career year in 2024 and could command a deal worth up to around $40 million per year on the open market.

The Seattle Times' Bob Condotta writes that Minnesota Vikings impending free-agent quarterback Sam Darnold is now an obvious target for the Seattle Seahawks in free agency this offseason after they traded Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday. Darnold won't be the only QB that the Seahawks explore, but Condotta also says that they will not consider a reunion with Pittsburgh Steelers impending free-agent QB Russell Wilson. The Seahawks can begin discussing a potential deal with Darnold and his representatives as early as Monday, when the legal tampering period opens. The Vikings had been interested in re-signing Darnold after his career year in 2024, but now he's expected to go elsewhere. Although the former first-rounder looked terrible in the final two games of the year, he threw for 4,319 yards, 35 TDs and 12 interceptions in 17 regular-season games. A repeat of that performance is probably unlikely, especially if he's not back in Minnesota.

With the NFL's legal tampering period set to open on Monday, the Minnesota Vikings might be interested in soon-to-be-free-agent quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Rodgers will be looking to play for the third NFL team of his career after he and the New York Jets agreed to part ways earlier in the offseason. Minnesota's 2024 first-round pick J.J. McCarthy (knee) missed all of last season but he is expected to be cleared to return to the field this spring. That being said, the Vikings would like to add a veteran QB presence to the roster, which explains their interest in Rodgers. Rodgers is unlikely to sign up to be a backup if he has a chance to start somewhere, so he could look elsewhere if the Vikings appear committed to opening the year with McCarthy as their starter. The New York Giants are another team that has been linked to Rodgers this offseason, with the Vikings also reported to have an eye on bringing back Daniel Jones, whom they signed after the Giants released him during the 2024 season.

The Minnesota Vikings may be interested in bringing free-agent quarterback Daniel Jones back to the team. Jones signed as a backup with the Vikings during the 2024 season after he was released by the New York Giants. He is also reportedly drawing interest from the Indianapolis Colts this offseason. The Vikings have 2024 first-round draft pick J.J. McCarthy (knee) waiting in the wings, but they would like to add a veteran QB to compete with him or even serve as a bridge option if the former Michigan Wolverine isn't ready to start just yet. Jones' tenure with the Giants ended on a sour note but it appears that he won't have much trouble finding a new team when the NFL's legal tampering period begins on Monday.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is reportedly on the trade block according to team beat reporter Eliot Shorr-Parks. With the new league year set to begin on Wednesday, the Eagles are making no secret about the fact that they would like to move Goedert, with Parks stating that it feels like the tight end's time with the team is nearing an end. Goedert has been productive when on the field for the Eagles, but he has struggled with injuries, missing 23 games over his seven-year career. Veteran Grant Calcaterra is listed as the team's No. 2 tight end on the depth chart and showed some flashes in 2024 when Goedert was out, but the Eagles could also opt to address the position in the 2025 draft in what is a strong year for tight-end prospects.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Xavier Worthy was arrested in Williamson County, Texas on Friday night. Worthy was charged with assault against a family or household member by impeding their breathing or circulation, according to the official booking. There isn't much more information available at the time, although the charges don't look great for the young star wideout at first glance. Worthy could face legal charges in court in addition to potentially being in violation of the NFL's personal conduct policy. Stay tuned for more details as they become available.

Minnesota Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy (knee) is expected to be cleared to participate in his team's spring activities after tearing his meniscus last summer. McCarthy missed his entire rookie year after having surgery to repair the meniscus injury but his availability early in the team's offseason is promising news. With McCarthy trending up, the Vikings are expected to officially move on from 2024 starter Sam Darnold, who is rumored to be high on the Seattle Seahawks' list after they traded Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday night. McCarthy is likely to open the 2025 season as the Vikings' starter, although the team would still like to add a veteran to the quarterback room, according to Tom Pelissero.

The New York Jets are high on Pittsburgh Steelers impending free-agent quarterback Justin Fields, multiple sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. The Jets love Fields' athleticism, leadership traits, and ability to move the pocket, and they also think his best football is ahead of him. Meanwhile, the Steelers are trying to re-sign one of Fields or veteran Russell Wilson, and it's believed that they prefer to keep the younger Fields over Wilson. The 25-year-old Fields has been inconsistent as a passer in his short time in the NFL, but he makes up for it with his athleticism and was off to a nice start last year before Wilson took over. New York could give Fields a one- or two-year prove-it deal that's loaded with incentives, similar to what the Vikings gave Sam Darnold a year ago. The Jets have the salary cap space to sign Fields, and he has a history with receiver Garrett Wilson (they played together at Ohio State). The Jets could sign Fields and then also take a rookie QB on Day 2 or 3 of the draft.

The Tennessee Titans announced on Friday that they extended the contracts of exclusive-rights free-agent defensive tackle Keondre Coburn and linebacker Otis Reese (ankle). Coburn, 24, played in 15 games (one start) in his first full season with the Titans in 2024 but had only 14 tackles (seven solo). He originally was selected by the Kansas City Chiefs in the sixth round (194th overall) in 2023 out of the University of Texas. Coburn will return to the Titans in 2025 for interior defensive line depth. Reese, 26, played in 13 games (two starts) in 2024 in his second year in Tennessee but ended the year on Injured Reserve due to an ankle injury. In his 13 games played, Reese had 17 tackles (eight solo), his first career interception and a pass breakup. Reese will return to the Titans in 2025 and will primarily be a special-teamer.

Linebacker Lavonte David re-signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Friday on a one-year deal worth up to $10 million with $9 million guaranteed, a source tells ESPN's Jenna Laine. David is returning to Tampa for a 14th season in 2025 after he had 122 tackles (76 solo), 5.5 sacks, nine tackles for loss, six QB hits, an interception, six pass breakups, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery in 17 regular-season starts a year ago. The 35-year-old former second-round pick (58th overall) in the 2012 NFL draft out of Nebraska has only made one Pro Bowl in his career but has been a tackling machine, recording 100-plus combined tackles in 11 of his 13 seasons. Since entering the league, he leads the NFL with 1,111 solo tackles and has started all 198 games that he's appeared in for the Bucs. David was the No. 5 fantasy linebacker in 2024 and will once again be in play as a starting linebacker in IDP formats again in 2025.

The Athletic's Dianna Russini reports that teams that have been interested in veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins around the league have been told that the Atlanta Falcons won't move him. Per SI.com's Albert Breer, Cousins asked for and was granted a meeting with owner Arthur Blank on Wednesday to discuss his future, according to sources. The 36-year-old wants to go somewhere where he can start in 2025, but Falcons brass has said they will do what's best for the team at the position. The Falcons have held firm on their stance that they are comfortable keeping Cousins as the most expensive backup in the league this year after he threw 18 touchdowns and 16 interceptions in 2024 and was benched in favor of first-rounder Michael Penix Jr. It's hard to envision Cousins sticking around as a backup after signing a four-year, $180 million deal last year. He could request a trade after April's draft. Stay tuned.

The Los Angeles Chargers have informed veteran running back Gus Edwards that he will be released in the coming days, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Edwards appeared in just 11 games in 2024, his only season with the Chargers, rushing for 365 yards and four touchdowns on 101 carries. With Edwards now a free-agent, the Chargers could have an entirely revamped backfield in 2025 with J.K. Dobbins also an unrestricted free-agent. There is a good chance the Chargers target a running back in the 2025 NFL draft in what is shaping up as a loaded class at the position. Edwards will now look to latch on with another team as an early-down and short-yardage grinder.

The Seattle Seahawks traded quarterback Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders for a 2025 third-round pick on Friday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Smith will be reunited with his former head coach Pete Carroll as the Raiders look to finally solve their hole at the quarterback position. According to the Athletic's Dianna Russini, the Seahawks are now looking to sign Sam Darnold to replace Smith under center in Seattle. Smith, who succeeded Russell Wilson as the Seahawks' quarterback, threw 71 touchdowns and 35 interceptions in his three years starting under center for Seattle. His arrival in Las Vegas can be considered an upgrade for all of the Raiders' pass-catchers heading into the 2025 season.

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Kirk Cousins makes the most sense for the Cleveland Browns to pursue this offseason, assuming the Falcons aren't serious about making him the most expensive backup in the league and eventually cut him, according to The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt. The main reason it makes sense is that head coach Kevin Stefanski was Cousins' QBs coach and offensive coordinator with the Minnesota Vikings for a couple years. Cousins was benched in favor of rookie Michael Penix Jr. in 2024 after throwing 18 touchdowns and 16 interceptions, but it was his first year coming off an Achilles tear. The 36-year-old is in decline but would make for a perfect, cheap bridge signal-caller if the Browns take Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders with the No. 2 overall pick, or if they wait and take someone like Jalen Milroe later in the draft.

The Minnesota Vikings would like to re-sign impending free-agent cornerback Byron Murphy, but FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz reports that he's poised to hit the open market on Monday when the legal tampering window opens, according to sources. Murphy is expected to have a strong market after coming off a Pro Bowl season in 2024 in which he recorded a career-high 81 tackles (62 solo), six tackles for loss, a career-high six interceptions, 14 pass breakups and a forced fumble in 17 regular-season starts for Minnesota. The 27-year-old has nine total interceptions in the last two seasons. The Vikings couldn't use the franchise tag on Murphy in order to retain him after pushing the void date on his contract back to the start of the new league year on March 12. The former second-rounder of the Cardinals in 2019 out of Washington has 367 career tackles (289 solo) and 14 interceptions in six seasons in the NFL.

Former Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman Roy Robertson-Harris is visiting with the Arizona Cardinals, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Robertson-Harris landed on the open market earlier this week when the Seahawks released him on Tuesday. The 31-year-old veteran is now free to sign with any team. Seattle acquired him midway through last season in a trade with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and he finished with 13 tackles (five solo) in 11 games with the Seahawks. The former undrafted free agent made his NFL debut in 2017 with the Chicago Bears and spent the first four years of his career in the Windy City before joining the Jaguars. In his eight years in the NFL, Robertson-Harris has 211 tackles (122 solo), 19 sacks, 27 tackles for loss, 67 QB hits, 14 pass breakups and a fumble recovery in 117 games (62 solo). The Cardinals were among the worst teams in terms of pass rush in 2024.

Veteran wide receiver Michael Gallup, whom the Las Vegas Raiders released from the Reserve/Retired list on Friday, is looking to return to the NFL in 2025, a source tells NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Gallup caught 266 passes in 86 career games with the Dallas Cowboys before signing with the Raiders a year ago. The 29-year-old announced his retirement last July right after training camp started. The former third-round pick (81st overall) by Dallas in 2018 out of Colorado State had a 1,000-yard season with six touchdowns for the Cowboys in his second year in the league in 2019 but never came close to those heights again and didn't exceed 500 receiving yards in his last three seasons in Dallas. Gallup could latch on with a team this offseason as an experienced role player, but he'll probably be fighting an uphill battle for any kind of serious fantasy relevance if he gets picked up.
