Player Notes

  • Signed by Carolina
    The Panthers signed Franks on Friday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

    Advice: Franks had a tryout with Carolina on Monday, and he impressed the organization enough to get a contract. The 26-year-old spent the previous three seasons with Atlanta, though he was on injured reserve all of last year due to an undisclosed issue. Franks is presumably now healthy, and he'll look to make a positive impression in training camp with the aim of competing for a roster spot. Rotowire.com 30 minutes ago

  • Making recovery progress
    Pearsall (hamstring) worked on the side at Friday's practice and has progressed to route-running at seemingly full speed, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

    Advice: Pearsall remains on the active/non-football injury list, but it looks like he could be ready to be activated and resume practicing as early as next week. Once ready to retake the field, the rookie first-round pick might have an opportunity to take advantage of Brandon Aiyuk's current hold-in and get some extra first-team reps in.

  • Done with Panthers
    Carolina released Pinckney on Friday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Advice: The Panthers made a series of free-agent signings Friday, and Pinckney became a casualty of their consequent need to free up space on the roster. He'll now search for another chance with a different team. Rotowire.com Today, 3:19 pm

  • Dolphins ink Tua Tagovailoa to four-year extension
    Dolphins signed Tua Tagovailoa to a four-year, $212.4 million extension.

    Advice: The deal includes $167 million in guarantees and his $53.1 million per-year average ranks third at the position. He is the highest-paid player in Dolphins history. Some may critique the deal given the Dolphins’ cold-weather struggles over the last two years. Tagovailoa’s overall play is undeniably top-notch though. Among 34 NFL quarterbacks with at least 600 dropbacks over the last two years, he ranks eighth or better in big-time-throw rate (5.2 percent), completion rate (66.8 percent), yards per passing attempt (8.4) and NFL passer rating (101.6). The Dolphins should experience cozy environs for much of December, with Weeks 14 and 16 home games sandwiching a Week 15 trip to Santa Clara. Weeks 17 and 18 include trips to Cleveland and New York, which will again bring the contract into focus though. Rotoworld Today, 12:51 pm

  • Diagnosed with skin cancer
    Haener revealed Friday that he has a rare form of skin cancer on his face and will have an evaluation August 1 to determine his treatment plan moving forward, Mike Triplett of New Orleans.Football reports.

    Advice: Haener added that the condition isn't believed to be life-threatening, but he is still determining whether to put off treatment. If Haener opts to put off treatment, he would likely continue to compete against rookie fifth-round draft pick Spencer Rattler for the backup quarterback job behind Derek Carr throughout training camp and the preseason.
