Colts HC Shane Steichen said Monday that QBs Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones will split first-team reps this spring. That confirms that this is a truly open competition for the starting job -- rather than Richardson having a head start as the incumbent. The Colts have made it clear since the end of the last season that Richardson would need to earn the 2025 starting job after a disappointing 2024 campaign. The team's OTAs begin on April 21.

Patriots HC Mike Vrabel revealed Monday that WR Ja'Lynn Polk had shoulder surgery this offseason. Vrabel didn't give any details on Polk's injury or timeline for return.

When the Steelers let RB Najee Harris leave for the Chargers in free agency, it sure seemed to clear the way for Jaylen Warren to take the backfield lead. GM Omar Khan confirmed that at this week's NFL meetings.

Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill took to social media in response to tweets alleging him to be a trade candidate, hinting that he still may be gone from the Miami Dolphins. Though his emoji only messages don't give a clear picture, it is obvious the relationship between Hill and the Dolphins may still have problems. His large contract makes a trade difficult, but a trade during or leading up to the draft is possible.

E.J. Speed has agreed to a one-year deal with the Texans. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that it's worth $3.25 million, with incentives that could push it to $5 million.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter provided the following update on 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk.

The Vikings have been linked to free-agent QB Aaron Rodgers in recent weeks. Minnesota is Rodgers' preferred destination, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah didn't exactly squash the rumors when asked about Rodgers on Wednesday. "For me to sit here and say that anything's 100 percent forever, that's just not the job," Adofo-Mensah said. "We're responding to scenarios and different information as it comes. So obviously things can change, but right now we're really happy with our [quarterback] room and we're going to look to upgrade it in different ways." Adofo-Mensah added that J.J. McCarthy as the starting QB is "the outcome we want" and "the outcome we're headed towards."
