Ravens GM Eric DeCosta said after drafting WR Elijah Sarratt that the team believes he can play both outside and in the slot. "We think he’s really, really good inside," DeCosta added. Sarratt spent most of his time in college on the outside, but there are reasons to believe that the slot might be a better fit.

Broncos QB Bo Nix underwent a second procedure on his surgically repaired right ankle, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The “clean-up” surgery was performed last week in Birmingham, AL, by Dr. Norman Waldrop III, who also handled the initial procedure on January 19.

Cleveland.com's Mary Kay Cabot reports that QB Deshaun Watson appears to be moving toward being named the Browns' starter for the coming season.

Panthers RB Jonathon Brooks said Tuesday that he's been fully cleared to participate in the offseason program, according to The Athletic's Joe Person. Brooks missed the entire 2025 season after tearing his right ACL for the second time in a 13-month span. Brooks added Tuesday that he feels "close to 100%."

The Chargers have exercised the fifth-year option on WR Quentin Johnston's contract. That keeps him signed through 2027 and will pay him $18 million guaranteed in that final year of the deal. The Chargers' brass had previously been non-committal on the option, perhaps waiting to see what the draft brought to the WR room.

The Ravens had planned to have former Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia try out this weekend, but that plan changed Tuesday. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the team has instead signed Pavia to a three-year deal. That contract's unlikely to actually lock Pavia in with Baltimore for the next three years and probably won't even guarantee that he sticks around for this season. (Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team points out that "all undrafted free agent contracts are 3-year deals.") But the change likely indicates that the QB had other interested suitors.

The Buccaneers signed Georgia Tech WR Eric Rivers as an undrafted free agent this week. Rivers opened his college career as a walk-on DB at Memphis in 2021, then missed the following season with a shoulder injury. He transferred to Florida International in 2023 and enjoyed a solid first season at wideout. Despite missing a game, Rivers ranked second on the team in catches (32) and TD receptions (2), and third in receiving yards (370). He broke out with a big 62-1,172-12 receiving line in 2024, racking up 18.9 yards per catch. His 3.57 yards per route ranked second among 347 FBS WRs who drew at least 40 targets that season. A transfer to Georgia Tech produced a quieter final season, though Rivers led the Yellow Jackets with 658 receiving yards and tied for the receptions lead (46).

The Vikings picked up the fifth-year option on WR Jordan Addison. That puts him under contract through the 2027 season for $18 million guaranteed.

Cincinnati WR Jeff Caldwell signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent. Caldwell’s profile is built on size and athleticism. The 6’5, 216-pounder registered a perfect 10.0 Relative Athletic Score at the Combine, fueled by a 4.31-second 40 time and a 42-inch vertical. That speed showed up in his 14.9 yards per catch last year. Caldwell’s overall production profile is lacking, though. He spent his first four college seasons at FCS Lindenwood, finally breakout out for 1,032 yards and 11 TDs in 2024. Caldwell transferred to Cincinnati this past year and finished third on the team with 478 receiving yards and second with six TDs. His 19.0% dominator rating ranked just 35th among the 49 WRs invited to the Combine. Caldwell boasts a large catch radius, to go along with the size/speed combination. But his catch and route technique need work.
