  • SEA HC wants to make DK Metcalf a ‘moving target’
    Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald said the team wants to make DK Metcalf a “moving target” in 2024.

    Advice: Macdonald told NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero he wants to get the ball to Metcalf “a lot” this season and said new offensive coordinator Ryan Grub would use Metcalf across the formation. “He’s a big, imposing, fast, powerful receiver,” Macdonald said, adding the team wants to ensure opposing defenses have to “account for [Metcalf] at all times but it’s gonna be hard to find him.” Metcalf ran 84 percent of his pass routes from the boundary in 2023, in line with his career rate. He saw only 12 targets from the slot last season. More creative usage for Metcalf — including, presumably, more slot work — could be a boost to his fantasy prospects in a Seattle offense that could be surprisingly pass heavy under Grubb, for former OC at the University of Washington.

  • Earns chance in Jacksonville
    The Jaguars signed McGowan to a contract Friday.

    Advice: McGowan suited up for two games with Washington as a rookie back in 2022 but was cut by the team with an undisclosed injury prior to the 2023 season, and he hadn't been able to find a new landing spot until now. The 24-year-old wideout will now compete to earn a depth role with the Jaguars. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:46 am

  • Dealing with AC sprain
    Ford-Wheaton (shoulder) suffered an AC sprain during Tuesday's minicamp practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Ford-Wheaton missed the entire 2023 season while rehabbing from a torn ACL, and while it appears he's completed rehab on his knee, the second-year pro is now dealing with a new injury. Coach Brian Daboll said Tuesday that he hopes every player on the Giants' roster will be ready for training camp, though, so Ford-Wheaton should be on track to return by late July.

  • Suffers broken collarbone
    Cota sustained a broken collarbone during Tuesday's minicamp practice, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Coach Brian Daboll said Tuesday that he hopes every player on the Giants' roster will be ready for training camp, so it sounds like Cota's recovery may not be lengthy. As a rookie last season, Cota spent time on the Chiefs' and Texans' practice squads. Rotowire.com Friday, 8:40 am

  • Headed to Miami
    Campbell is in line to sign with the Dolphins, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Advice: Campbell will join the Dolphins after spending the 2023 campaign with the Falcons, registering 56 total tackles, including 6.5 sacks, while also recording both a forced fumble and a fumble recovery over 17 regular-season games. The defensive lineman will return to Miami 20 years after making his collegiate debut with the Hurricanes. Rotowire.com Thursday, 5:32 pm

  • Dolphins bolster d-line, sign Calais Campbell
    Dolphins signed DE Calais Campbell, formerly of the Falcons.

    Advice: Campbell has mulled retirement for the last several seasons but is now set to join the Dolphins on what is likely a one-year deal. The soon-to-be 38-year-old totaled 6.5 sacks and 10 TFLs in his lone season with the Falcons and is now ready to return to Miami, where he played in college ball from 2005-2007. Campbell should provide immediate help along the interior for a defense that lost defensive tackle Christian Wilkins to the Raiders via free agency and continues to play at a high enough level to be an impact player. Amongst defensive linemen who played at least 300 snaps last season, Calais ranked 39th with a defensive grade of 80.0. Rotoworld Thursday, 5:30 pm

  • Inks long-term deal
    The Jaguars and Lawrence agreed to terms on a five-year, $275 million contract extension Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Advice: Lawrence's new deal includes $200 million guaranteed, including $142 million at signing, and the average annual value of $55 million matches Joe Burrow's NFL-leading mark. After Jacksonville extended the fifth-year opinion on Lawrence's rookie contract this spring, it was only a matter of time before the two sides reached an agreement to keep the first overall pick in the 2021 Draft in Duval for the foreseeable future. Through three pro campaigns, he's surpassed 4,000 yards twice while accumulating a 58:39 TD:INT in 50 regular-season games. Rotowire.com Thursday, 4:08 pm

  • Jags and Lawrence agree on $275M extension
    Jaguars signed QB Trevor Lawrence to a five-year, $275 million contract extension.

    Advice: Lawrence gets $200 million in guaranteed money with this deal, with $142 million guaranteed at signing. His $55 million AAV ties Joe Burrow for the highest of any player in the league. It’s a steep but not surprising price to pay for Lawrence, who was drafted No. 1 overall by the Jaguars in 2021. Lawrence has thrown for 11,770 yards, 58 touchdowns, and 39 interceptions in 50 career games and has led his team to a 17-16 record in two years under current head coach Doug Pederson. Lawrence will play under the terms of his rookie deal in 2024 and under a fifth-year option in 2025, meaning the base salary for his new deal won’t kick in until 2026. Rotoworld Thursday, 4:01 pm

  • Inks rookie deal with Buffalo
    Coleman signed a four-year rookie contract Wednesday, Alec White of the Bills' official site reports.

    Advice: Coleman, selected 33rd overall in April, has a good chance to be the team's No. 1 or No. 2 receiver right out of the gate, as the Bills lack a proven guy in the entire wideout corps after trading away Stefon Diggs and not re-signing Gabe Davis during the offseason. The Bills now have all 10 of their 2024 picks signed to deals. Rotowire.com Thursday, 3:25 pm
