  • FOX: Cowboys visiting Browns in Week 1
    FOX Sports’ Michael Strahan announced that the Cowboys will visit the Browns in Week 1.

    Advice: Perhaps bigger than the game itself is who will be calling the game, as this is set to be Tom Brady’s broadcasting debut. The future Hall of Famer, who retired at the end of the 2022 season, to become their next in-game analyst whenever he was ready to do so. He’ll be tasked with calling a game between a Cowboys team led by Dak Prescott in a potential contract year, as they take on the Browns, who hope 2024 is finally the year the trade for Deshaun Watson finally pays off.

  • Broncos re-sign Phillip Dorsett
    Broncos re-signed WR Phillip Dorsett.

    Advice: Dorsett was released by the Broncos late last week but is now back with the team after they waived two rookie UDFAs. Dorsett, 31, will presumably get a chance to earn a spot on the 53-man roster in training camp but hasn’t done much in the league over the last several years. He appeared in just two games last season but didn’t record a catch and has caught just 27 passes since 2021. Rotoworld Today, 2:26 pm

  • Lands four-year, $212M extension
    The Lions signed Goff to a four-year, $212 million contract extension Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Advice: The deal contains $170 million guaranteed, and Goff is now the highest-paid player in Lions franchise history. The 2016 No. 1 overall pick of the Rams, Goff was acquired from Los Angeles in the Matthew Stafford haul prior to the 2021 season and has resurrected his career under Detroit OC Ben Johnson. In three seasons with Detroit, Goff has completed 66.5 percent of his passes, up from 63.4 percent with Los Angeles, and has thrown for 12,258 yards with a splendid 78:27 TD:INT mark. He's lowered his turnover rate with Detroit and just helped lead the team to the NFC Championship Game last season. Goff is still just 29 years old and is locked in with the Lions for at least the next few seasons. Rotowire.com Today, 1:51 pm

  • Inks deal with Atlanta
    The Falcons signed Drummond on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Advice: The Eastern Michigan product was most recently with the Giants' practice squad, but he's now been given a new opportunity in Atlanta. Drummond's only in-game action came in Week 5 of the 2023 NFL season with the Lions, playing a total of eight snaps and failing to record a single stat. Expect Drummond to compete for a depth role in Atlanta's wide receiver room as the offseason unfolds. Rotowire.com Today, 1:45 pm

  • Dropped by New England
    The Patriots released Vaughn on Monday, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.

    Advice: The 27-year-old running back out of Vanderbilt signed a reserve/future contract with the Patriots back in January, but he's now been cut loose. Vaughn has spent the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Buccaneers, recording 384 rushing yards on 103 attempts. This move comes as New England frees up space within the 90-man roster limit, and Vaughn will now seek an opportunity to compete elsewhere. Rotowire.com Today, 1:36 pm

  • Traveling to Tennessee
    The Titans signed Vannett on Monday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Advice: The veteran tight end has spent time with six different teams across his eight-year career, and he's now headed to Nashville after agreeing to terms with the Titans. Vannett most recently played with the Chargers, tallying 125 offensive snaps across eight games and recording one reception for three yards in 2023. Expect the 31-year-old to compete for a depth role in Tennessee's tight end room as the offseason progresses. Rotowire.com Today, 1:29 pm

  • Finds new home in Atlanta
    The Falcons signed Dwelley (ankle) on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Advice: Dwelley finished last season on injured reserve after sustaining an ankle injury, but it now seems as if he's moved past the issue. After spending the first six seasons of his NFL career with the 49ers, the 29-year-old tight end has agreed to terms with the Falcons. Across his last three seasons, Dwelley has appeared in 41 games and made two starts, catching eight of his 12 targets for 168 yards and two touchdowns. Despite his underwhelming offensive production, the San Diego product has been a consistent contributor on special teams (619 special teams snaps over the last three years), and he's expected to compete for a similar role in Atlanta.

  • Time up in Philly
    The Eagles waived Togiai on Monday.

    Advice: Togiai has spent the last three seasons on Philadelphia's practice squad, but he was only elevated for one game in 2023 and failed to record any stats. As Togiai now heads into his age-27 season, he will need to compete for a depth opportunity elsewhere in the league. Rotowire.com Today, 11:54 am

  • Latches on in Chicago
    The Bears signed Swain to a contract Monday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: Swain spent time on the Dolphins' practice squad last season, but he hasn't played snaps in a game since 2022, when he suited up for three contests with Denver and one for Miami. The 2020 sixth-round pick will have his work cut out to compete for a depth role in Chicago's crowded receiver room. Rotowire.com Today, 11:15 am
