    • Competition for QB2
      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

    • Burrow ‘looked as quick and as athletic’ as usual
      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.

    • Throwing at minicamp
      Burrow (wrist) was on the field throwing at the Bengals' facility Monday.

      Advice: Burrow's season ended 27 snaps into Week 11 last season, after which he required surgery to repair a torn ligament in his right (throwing) wrist. Earlier in the offseason, he stated that he expected to be fully cleared by mid-May, and it appears he's on track. Burrow should be all systems go well in time for training camp later this summer. His weaponry has gone a bit of an overhaul, with Joe Mixon, Tyler Boyd and Irv Smith jettisoned. Veterans Zack Moss and Mike Gesicki were signed as free agents to go along with returnees Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 11:35 am

    • Joe Burrow (wrist) back to throwing after surgery
      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.

    • Being let go by Patriots
      The Patriots plan to waive Rourke, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

      Advice: Given that the Patriots took two quarterbacks (Drake Maye and Joe Milton) in last month's NFL draft and also roster Jacoby Brissett and Bailey Zappe, it's not surprising that the team elected to part ways with Rourke. The 25-year-old has yet to appear in an NFL regular-season game, but Rourke did draw 11 starts over two campaigns (2021 and 2022) with the CFL's BC Lions. Rotowire.com Yesterday, 8:25 am

    • Will have followup MRI on Monday
      Thompson-Robinson (hip) will undergo an MRI on Monday and is expected to participate in minicamp next week, Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com reports.

      Advice: DTR suffered a hip subluxation against the Texans on Christmas Eve and was ruled out for the remainder of the Browns' season. His most recent MRI in March revealed progress in his rehab, and Thompson-Robinson is hoping the latest one this upcoming week will allow him to get the green light to do some on-field work with the team's rookies and fellow younger players. The Browns signed veteran QBs Jameis Winston and Tyler Huntley in the offseason, so DTR is facing stiff competition for backup duties behind Deshaun Watson. Rotowire.com Saturday, 3:17 pm

    • Travis (ankle) could be ready by training camp
      Jets HC Robert Saleh said Jordan Travis (ankle) could be ready by training camp.

      Advice: Travis continues to rehab from a severe ankle injury he suffered in mid-November. That injury kept him from working out at the NFL Scouting Combine and Florida State’s pro day and also sidelined him for the rookie minicamp. Earlier reports before the draft suggested Travis would be fully cleared by April, but that doesn’t appear to be the case. There’s no immediate rush to get the 2024 fifth-round pick, as he’s largely expected to redshirt his rookie year behind Aaron Rodgers and Tyrod Taylor. Still, the team would like to get him plenty of reps in the preseason as they look to see what the dual-threat rookie could offer them in the future. Rotoworld Saturday, 9:30 am

    • Should be ready for training camp
      Travis, who is bouncing back from an ankle injury that he suffered last November, should be cleared for training camp, per coach Robert Saleh, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.

      Advice: At this stage, Travis -- who the Jets took in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft -- continues to rebound from ankle surgery, with Cimini noting that the young QB was spotted riding a stationary bike during part of the practice that took place Friday at the start of the team's rookie minicamp. Early on in his pro career, Travis is slated to work behind the veteran duo of Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) and Tyrod Taylor, but when healthy, the Florida State product profiles as dual-threat signal-caller with intriguing playmaking ability for the Jets to develop.

    • Won't be limited in OTAs
      According to coach Robert Saleh, Rodgers will have "no restrictions" when the Jets begin their OTA practices May 20, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.

      Advice: After suffering a torn left Achilles four snaps into his first season with the Jets, Rodgers underwent surgery to address the issue Sept. 14. While the veteran signal-caller didn't see any game action prior to the conclusion of the 2023 campaign, he did practice on a limited basis down the stretch. With that in mind, it's not surprising that the 40-year-old is on track to practice in full during phase three of New York's OTAs later this month. When it comes to his supporting cast this coming season, Tyrod Taylor is slated to serve as the team's No. 2 QB, top running back Breece Hall is further removed from the ACL tear that derailed his 2022 season, and the team's wideout corps has been fortified by free-agent addition Mike Williams (knee) and 2024 third-rounder Malachi Corley. Still, Rodgers' fantasy upside hinges on whether he's able to avoid any setbacks as he looks to regain his pre-injury form. Rotowire.com Friday, 1:30 pm
