  • Finds chance in Jacksonville
    Mims is slated to sign with the Jaguars, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Advice: Mims was waived by Pittsburgh on Tuesday, but he's quickly found a new opportunity to compete. He logged time on the Steelers practice squad last season, though he never suited up for a game with the team. The 2020 second-round pick spent the first three seasons of his NFL career with the Jets, before being traded to the Lions during the 2023 offseason, then failing to make Detroit's roster.

  • Jaguars take flier on Steelers castoff Denzel Mims
    Jaguars signed WR Denzel Mims, formerly of the Steelers.

    Advice: Mims was released by the Steelers earlier this week and will now have a chance to compete for a spot on the Jaguars’ roster this offseason. The former second-round pick hasn’t played a regular-season snap since 2022 and is now set to join his fourth team over that span. He’ll face an uphill battle to make a Jaguars roster that returns Christian Kirk and also added Gabe Davis, Devin Duvernay, and Brian Thomas Jr. this offseason. Rotoworld Thursday, 6:25 am

  • Lands on IR
    The Giants placed Cota (collarbone) on injured reserve Tuesday, Matt Citak of the team's official site reports.

    Advice: Cota sustained a broken collarbone during minicamp practice Tuesday, and he'll now move to season-ending IR. The 23-year-old could still appear in the 2024 campaign if he is waived with an injury settlement, though he may have to wait until the 2025 season to make his NFL debut. Cota spent his 2023 rookie campaign between the Chiefs' and Texans' practice squads. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 7:39 pm

  • Let go by Pittsburgh
    The Steelers waived Mims on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Advice: Mims spent his first three seasons with the Jets before being traded to Detroit in July of 2023. The 2020 second-round pick was eventually waived with a calf injury by the Lions ahead of last season. He then went unsigned before linking up with Pittsburgh's practice squad in October, though he never appeared in a game for the Steelers during the 2023 campaign and signed a future/reserves contract in January. Mims recorded 11 catches for 186 yards over 10 games during the 2022 season. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 5:40 pm

  • Waived by Miami
    Sexton was waived by the Dolphins on Tuesday, Alain Poupart of SI.com reports.

    Advice: Sexton spent time on the practice squad of both the Falcons and Patriots during the 2023 seasons before landing in Miami in January. It looks like the journeyman was simply unable to make an impression for a spot on the team's deep wide receiver depth chart, so he will now have to look for an opportunity elsewhere.

  • Morris: Get ball to Bijan ‘as much as you can’
    Falcons head coach Raheem Morris said the team would give the ball to Bijan Robinson as much as possible in 2024.

    Advice: Morris, like other Atlanta coaches this offseason, emphasized Robinson as a centerpiece of the team’s new offense under OC Zac Robinson. “In as simple of a form as you can possibly make it,” Morris said, “it’s ‘get the ball to Bijan as much as you can in as many ideal situations that you possibly can.’” It’s clear the new Falcons regime will do everything it can to feed Robinson, who totaled 1,463 yards from scrimmage and eight touchdowns as a rookie. Unlike former head coach Arthur Smith, Morris’ staff seems intent on seeing what they have in Robinson. Tyler Allgeier likely won’t have much of a role in the Falcons backfield unless Robinson misses time in 2024.

  • Signs with Chicago
    The Bears signed Carter to a one-year contract Tuesday.

    Advice: Carter suited up for all 17 regular-season games with the Raiders in 2023 and racked up 494 return yards in that span. He also contributed four catches for 39 yards and three carries for 17 yards. The 31-year-old veteran now stands to compete for a similar role including the return game with Chicago.

  • Joining Big Blue
    Saylors has agreed to terms on a contract with the Giants, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Advice: Saylors joined the Bengals' roster prior to the 2023 season as an undrafted free agent before getting waived during final roster cuts. He ultimately landed with the Falcons' practice squad in October. He then suffered an undisclosed injury in November that landed him on injured reserve. With his addition to New York's roster, it looks like he is good to go heading into the 2024 season. There are five other running backs on the roster, so Saylors figures to have his work cut out for him going forward. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 7:14 am

  • Frustrated with negotiations
    Aiyuk expressed frustration Monday with the progress of contract negotiations, and while the 49ers remain interested in re-signing him, it's only on a cheaper deal than what he's looking for, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Advice: Aiyuk posted a TikTok video in which he says, "They don't want me," in an apparent reference to the 49ers. Rapoport says he doesn't think negotiations are "completely dead," even though there seems to be a big money gap between the two sides. While Aiyuk's post may add fuel to the fire of trade rumors, it's still possible the 49ers keep him in a contract year even if they aren't able to work out a long-term deal. He was a holdout during June minicamp and may not show up for the start of training camp if he's still set to play out 2025 under the fifth-year option on his rookie contract for $14.12 million.
