  • Links up with Buffalo
    Claypool is signing a one-year contract with the Bills, Jonathan Jones of CBSSports.com reports.

    Advice: Unable to make an impact in Chicago or Miami last season, Claypool now heads to his fourth NFL team for his fifth year in the league. It's about as good of a locale as he could've hoped for, as the Bills have a strong-armed franchise QB and questionable depth at WR. Claypool could perhaps serve as a deep threat off the bench even if his days as a starter are numbered. Rotowire.com Today, 7:51 am

  • Looking good for RB2 job
    Gray is in good position to handle a bigger role in his second NFL season, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic.

    Advice: New lead back Devin Singletary is unlikely to dominate backfield snaps the way Saquon Barkley did last season, leaving more work on the table for Gray and other backups. A 2023 fifth-round pick, Gray played in 13 games as a rookie, taking 23 touches for 70 yards on 65 snaps. Competition for backup roles behind Singletary doesn't appear especially fierce in New York, with Gray joined by fifth-round rookie Tyrone Tracy, veteran journeyman Deon Jackson, fourth-year pro Gary Brightwell and a couple of young UDFAs (Jashaun Corbin, Dante Miller).

  • Returning to remade offense
    Moore worked out in April with Bears QB Caleb Williams and fellow Bears WRs Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The workouts took place shortly before the draft, at which point Williams was all but locked in as the No. 1 overall pick for Chicago (and Odunze considered a strong candidate to join him at No. 9). The Bears ended up with both, completing their offseason makeover on offense after trading for Allen and signing RB D'Andre Swift and TE Gerald Everett. The crowded pass-catching corps means Moore is unlikely to match his career-high 28.8 percent target share from 2023, though there likely will be more overall targets, as the Bears figure to call pass plays at a higher rate and will no longer have sack/scramble-happy Justin Fields under center.

  • Mayo: Maye, Brissett to compete for starting job
    Patriots head coach Jerod Mayo said Drake Maye and Jacoby Brissett will compete for the teamā€™s starting quarterback job.

    Advice: ā€œUltimately, [Maye] still has to win that job and weā€™re not just gonna give it away,ā€ Mayo said in a Thursday interview. ā€œAnd I donā€™t think Jacoby ā€” the type of player, the type of competitor that he is ā€” is just gonna give it up, either. So, weā€™ll see what happens in camp.ā€ Mayo said everyone would compete for Week 1 starting duties in training camp. Maye, the third overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, would have to struggle mightily in camp and during the preseason for the Patriots to consider starting Brissett in Week 1. Still, it will be a situation worth monitoring in the summer.

  • ā€˜Clear pathā€™ for RB Eric Gray to have role in ā€™24
    The Athleticā€™s Dan Duggan believes RB Eric Gray has ā€œa clear path ... to have a bigger roleā€ in the Giants offense this season.

    Advice: A 2023 fifth round selection, Gray had just 17 carries for 41 yards as a rookie. The Giants added explosive RB Tyrone Tracy in the fifth round of the 2024 draft, but Duggan suggested Gray would have first crack at operating as the teamā€™s RB2 behind Devin Singletary. For now, Singletary appears to be the clear lead back. Gray and Tracy would likely split backfield duties if Singletary were to miss time in 2024. Rotoworld Today, 6:22 am

  • Joins forces with Bolts
    Chark and the Chargers agreed to terms on a one-year contract Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Advice: Per Rapoport, the deal is worth up to $5 million. Chark visited with the Chargers exactly one week before the 2024 NFL Draft, and his signing with the team comes exactly one week after its first round. With L.A., he'll be providing a veteran presence to a receiving corps that parted with Keenan Allen and Mike Williams this offseason, meaning Chark will be vying with the likes of Joshua Palmer (knee), Quentin Johnston and second-round rookie Ladd McConkey for reps in the upcoming campaign. In 15 regular-season games with the Panthers in 2023, Chark hauled in 35 of 66 targets for 525 yards and five touchdowns. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 7:35 pm

  • Receiver-needy Bolts do one-year deal with Chark
    Chargers agreed to terms with WR DJ Chark on a one-year contract.

    Advice: NFL Networkā€™s Ian Rapoport reports itā€™s worth ā€œup toā€ $5 million. Although Chark is coming off a quiet campaign for the cellar-dwelling Panthers, it is a much-needed addition for the Chargersā€™ nonexistent receiver depth. Unless Quentin Johnston takes an unexpected step forward, Chark should immediately slot in as the Chargersā€™ No. 1 outside wideout. He could develop some WR4 appeal with Justin Herbert even if the Bolts go mega run heavy. Charkā€™s addition isnā€™t a huge concern for those steaming second-round rookie Ladd McConkey, as their skill sets do not overlap in the context of the Chargersā€™ needs.

  • Part of loaded offense in Chicago
    Allen, DJ Moore and Rome Odunze all worked out with new Bears QB Caleb Williams in April, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Williams and Odunze weren't on the team at the time, though in Williams' case everyone knew he'd be going to Chicago with the No. 1 overall pick of the 2024 Draft. The Bears then took Odunze eight picks later, completing a fearsome WR trio with Allen and Moore. It's a situation that will make it nearly impossible for Allen to match his target volume from his years in San Diego and Los Angeles, even if Odunze needs some time to adjust to the pro game. Allen celebrated his 32nd birthday during the draft and is entering the final year of his contract, with GM Ryan Poles having said in March that he expected the veteran WR to sign an extension at some point. It's unclear if the Odunze selection changes the expectation for Allen to sign a multi-year deal, as the Bears have enough cap flexibility to keep all three WRs for the next few seasons if that's what they choose to prioritize.

  • Locked in for key role
    The Falcons figure to be heavily reliant on Mooney and Drake London at wide receiver this coming season, Josh Kendall of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: The Falcons have sent multiple signals that they expect Mooney to bounce back from a quiet 2023 in Chicago, first giving him $26 million guaranteed on a three-year, $39 million contract and now waiting until the sixth round of the 2024 NFL Draft before taking a wide receiver (Casey Washington). There's no serious competition for the No. 2 WR job, though it is possible Mooney ends up a distant fourth behind London, RB Bijan Robinson and TE Kyle Pitts in terms of prioritization in Atlanta' offense. Still, it's not a bad spot to be in, especially for a thin, fast receiver who projects better as a deep threat than as a high-volume guy. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 5:20 pm
