Haener appears to be the early frontrunner to serve as the QB2 for the Saints this offseason, John Hendrix of Sports Illustrated reports.

Advice: Haener was suspended for the first six games of his 2023 campaign and has yet to make his NFL debut. However, the 6-foot-1 signal-caller should have a chance to establish himself as QB2 after New Orleans made several changes at the quarterback position this offseason. Last year's No. 2 QB Jameis Winston signed with the Colts in March. Meanwhile, the Saints signed veteran backup Nathan Peterman and fourth-year pro Kellen Mond this offseason before selecting Spencer Rattler in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Carr is still clearly set as the starter, but the competition to be his primary reserve figures to be wide open this offseason. Haener's experience within the Saints' quarterback room should give him an immediate leg up on Peterman, Mond and Rattler. The 33-year-old Taysom Hill also is listed as a quarterback by the Saints, but he's better described as a multi-use player who regularly slots in at positions across the offense and special teams. It's highly unlikely that the team will carry more than three quarterbacks on the active roster during the 2024 campaign. Therefore, it will be worth monitoring how this competition shapes up during offseason workouts and training camp while projecting this QB depth chart. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:13 pm

Texans owner Cal McNair said WR Tank Dell will make a full recovery from his gunshot wound.

Advice: Dell was struck by a bullet and sustained a “minor gunshot wound” while attending a private event in late April. He was treated for the injury at a local hospital and released shortly after. McNair’s words seem to confirm previous reports that the wound would not place either his rehab or 2024 season in jeopardy. Dell is working his way back from a fibula fracture in Week 13 a season ago but is expected to be ready for the start of the coming season. He’ll face additional target competition after the team signed veteran alpha wide receiver Stefon Diggs this offseason. Rotoworld Yesterday, 4:12 pm

Bengals QB coach Brad Kragthorpe said Joe Burrow “looked as quick and as athletic as I’ve seen him look,” when asked about Burrow’s first day throwing since wrist surgery.

Advice: Burrow surprised everyone on Monday when he took to the field to participate in throwing drills, a moment captured by the team’s social media account. It was an encouraging step towards a return from season-ending wrist surgery, but Kragthrope’s takeaway from the workout is even more encouraging. The quarterbacks coach said Burrow “looked like the Joe Burrow we’re used to seeing” and that he “didn’t see any difference” in his throws, adding he’s happy with where Burrow’s at in his recovery. Wide receiver Andrei Iosivas also praised Burrow for “the amount of power” he has on his throws and said he “was slinging it and really putting some heat on those [passes].” With training camp roughly three months away, Burrow still has plenty of time to build on his recovery, but it sounds like he’s trending toward being ready for training camp.

Joe Burrow was spotted throwing for the first time since he underwent wrist surgery.

Advice: It’s unlikely that this is the first time Burrow has thrown since undergoing season-ending wrist surgery in late November, but it’s the first time we’ve seen him do so publicly. Burrow said earlier this offseason that he’s “confident” he’ll return healthy in 2024 and also added that his rehab “hasn’t really affected” his offseason preparation. The Bengals are set to start rookie minicamp on May 10th and have OTAs beginning on May 28th. Burrow may not officially begin practicing with his teammates until mandatory minicamp begins in June, but it’s an encouraging sign to see him back on the field and slinging the ball with little to no difficulty.

The Raiders signed Guyton to a contract Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Advice: Guyton is coming off a 2023 season in which a leg injury forced him to spend the first eight games on the PUP list, and he ended the next eight contests with a disappointing total of 10 catches (on 21 targets) for 89 yards and a touchdown. In the past, Guyton has been a serviceable deep threat, having put up a career-best 31-448-3 line on 48 targets back in 2021. He'll compete for a depth role behind Davante Adams, Jakobi Meyers and Michael Gallup in Las Vegas. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 9:27 am
