  • Waived by Pittsburgh
    The Steelers waived Thompson (neck) on Wednesday.

    Advice: Thompson appears to have recovered from the neck injury that caused him to be placed on injured reserve back in January, as he wasn't waived with an injury designation. He suited up for six contests (one start) with Pittsburgh in 2023, recording 22 tackles, three passes defensed and one interception. Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com relays that Thompson opted against undergoing offseason surgery and was able to recover from the neck injury through rest and rehab. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 8:57 am

  • Picked up by Dallas
    Conley (ankle) signed a contract with the Cowboys on Tuesday.

    Advice: Conley will link back up with an NFL roster after going unsigned since the end of the 2020 campaign. The 6-foot cornerback was drafted by the Raiders in the first round of the 2017 Draft, but his career was partially derailed by lingering ankle injuries, which forced him to miss the entirety of the 2020 season with the Texans. Conley played 14 games between the Raiders and Texans in 2019, tallying 50 tackles and 13 passes defended, including one interception. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 7:49 pm

  • Minnesota bound
    Redmond (undisclosed) has agreed to terms on a contract with the Vikings per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston.

    Advice: Redmond was waived with an injury settlement by the Panthers prior to the kickoff of the 2023 season. With him signing to the Vikings' roster, it appears his health is back up to par going forward. The defensive tackle will now look to earn a spot in Minnesota's defensive trenches for the upcoming season. Rotowire.com Tuesday, 7:01 am

  • Surtain hopes to stay with the Broncos long-term
    When asked about offseason trade rumors, Broncos CB Pat Surtain II said he hopes to remain with the team long-term.

    Advice: Surtain is entering his fourth season as a pro and is coming off arguably his worst year. The former No. 9 overall pick earned a PFF coverage grade of 64.7 last season while allowing 56 receptions for 701 yards and three touchdowns. It was the most receptions and yards he had ever allowed in a season, while opposing quarterbacks also enjoyed a 93.9 passer rating when targeting the Broncos’ CB1. The bill will soon come due for Surtain, who had his fifth-year option picked up earlier this offseason. While it’s possible he will play out this season without an extension, it wouldn’t be surprising to see him ink a new deal next offseason if the Broncos view him as part of their long-term plans.
