Player Notes

  • Joining Detroit
    The Lions are signing Davis to a contract after he attended rookie camp on a tryout basis, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Advice: Davis was waived by the Cardinals in late April after spending most of last year on the team's practice squad. He was active for one contest during the campaign but didn't see any snaps. The 25-year-old will get a shot to compete for a roster spot among a wide-receiver corps that is headed by Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. Rotowire.com 9 minutes ago

  • ‘Fully expected’ Darnold begins offseason as No. 1
    ESPN’s Kevin Seifert reports it’s “fully expected” Sam Darnold will begin the Vikings’ offseason program as the No. 1 quarterback over first-round pick J.J. McCarthy.

    Advice: In other words, the Vikings are taking the traditional approach of making McCarthy “earn it.” This is a situation where it is not entirely outside the realm of possibility that veteran Darnold actually makes an early-season start or two if McCarthy isn’t ready, but the competition will undoubtedly be rigged in the rookie’s favor.

  • Gets waived by Carolina
    The Panthers waived Camp on Friday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Advice: Camp did not see the field in 2023, and after Carolina added talent at wide receiver in the draft, it opted to cut him. He'll now have to search for another chance with a different franchise. Rotowire.com Friday, 2:54 pm

  • Done with Panthers
    Carolina waived Pierce on Friday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Advice: Pierce agreed to a reserve/future contract with the Panthers back in January, but they decided to let him go after adding talent at tight end in the draft. He'll now look for another chance with a new team. Rotowire.com Friday, 2:50 pm

  • Leaving Carolina
    The Panthers waived Brown (undisclosed) with an injury designation Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Advice: Brown didn't see the field in 2023, and after Carolina added talent at running back in the draft, it has now decided to cut him loose. He'll revert to injured reserve assuming he clears waivers. Rotowire.com Friday, 2:47 pm

  • Done with Giants
    The Giants waived Jackson (undisclosed) with an injury designation Friday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.

    Advice: Jackson suited up for both Cleveland and Indianapolis in 2023, but he demonstrated a tendency to fumble the ball away and thus spent most of last season on the bench. If he clears waivers, he'll reverted to injured reserve. Rotowire.com Friday, 2:25 pm

  • Broncos release WR Phillip Dorsett
    Broncos released WR Phillip Dorsett.

    Advice: Dorsett joined the Broncos as a member of their practice squad last August and failed to record a catch in either of the two games he appeared in. Dorsett has caught just 27 passes for 367 yards and one touchdown since 2021 and has bounced around four different teams over that span. The 31-year-old speedster could catch on with another team ahead of training camp, but he won’t be expected to make much of an impact wherever he lands. In addition to Dorsett, the Broncos also released defensive tackle Rashard Lawerence. Rotoworld Friday, 1:53 pm

  • Done with Colts
    Indianapolis waived Bynum on Friday.

    Advice: Bynum initially signed with the Colts back in January, but after adding talent at wide receiver in the draft, they decided to part ways with him. He'll now have to look for his next opportunity with a new team. Rotowire.com Friday, 1:24 pm

  • Interesting landing spot in Arizona
    Jones and the Cardinals agreed to terms on a contract Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Advice: Jones' deal is reportedly a one-year contract worth up to $4.25 million, per Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com. The big-bodied veteran was released by Jacksonville after the team's selection of Brian Thomas in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft, but he now finds a landing spot in the desert with a clear path to starting in three-wide sets. Rookie fourth overall pick Marvin Harrison profiles as the alpha in Arizona's wideout room, while tight end Trey McBride could be quarterback Kyler Murray's second-most-trusted playmaker, but Jones could well solidify himself over fellow wideout Michael Wilson. Jones was limited to nine games last season, but in 2022, he logged a 82-823-5 receiving line on 121 targets. Rotowire.com Friday, 12:40 pm
