It took an injury to RB J.K. Dobbins for RB R.J. Harvey to earn a full-time role for the Broncos last year. Harvey was just-OK from an efficiency standpoint after taking over as the clear lead back. But GM George Paton said from the Combine that the team does view Harvey as a three-down back going forward.

The Jets are trading Edge Jermaine Johnson to the Titans for DT T'Vondre Sweat, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The swap will officially process once the new league year begins at 4 p.m. on March 11. Johnson arrived as a first-round pick in 2022 and heads into the final year of his rookie contract (the exercised club option). Tennessee drafted Sweat in the second round in 2024. Two years remain on his initial contract. New Titans HC Robert Saleh served in that role for the Jets when they drafted Johnson (and then until New York fired him in the first half of 2024).

Browns RB Quinshon Judkins has a good chance to be ready for the start of training camp, GM Andrew Berry said from the Combine on Tuesday. Judkins is working back from a fractured fibula and dislocated ankle suffered on December 21. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport said the following day that Judkins was expected to be back on the field in April or May. It sounds like he's on track. "He’s made really nice progress," Berry said. "He’s out of the boot. He’s started his pool running. He’s done a real nice job with his recovery."

Bills HC Joe Brady talked up a bigger and more diverse role for WR Khalil Shakir. "I think Khalil Shakir can play inside and outside," Brady said from the Combine. "There’s really not a lot of things that Khalil can’t do. There’s definitely ways to get the ball into his hands in different ways, and we have to continue to grow his game because he’s such a huge component to our offense. He’s one of our best football players, and when the ball is in his hand, good things are happening."

Jets GM Darren Mougey made it clear from the Combine on Tuesday that impending free-agent RB Breece Hall isn't leaving town. The team is prepared to use the franchise or transition tag if it doesn't reach a long-term agreement with Hall ahead of the March 3 deadline. Either tag would keep Hall with the Jets for the 2026 season.

Bills GM Brandon Beane said a key offseason priority is finding a way to keep TE Dalton Kincaid healthy. Kincaid has dealt with multiple knee injuries, plus hamstring and oblique issues, over the past two seasons. "Our number one thing with Dalton is to see if we can get him in a healthier fashion this year, so that we don't have to A: miss games, and then B: limit how much he's playing," Beane said.

The Falcons have told QB Kirk Cousins that they'll release him at the beginning of the 2026 league year, according to Josh Kendall of The Athletic.

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that TE Zach Ertz plans to play this season. That's notable, of course, because Ertz tore his right ACL in December, about a month after he turned 35. Pelissero adds that the TE is "expected to be cleared right around Week 1." Ertz will hit unrestricted free agency in March.

The Falcons plan to use the franchise tag on TE Kyle Pitts, according to multiple reports. Pitts would be set to hit free agency for the first time without the tag. Instead, he'll get a one-year deal that's expected to be worth a little more than $16 million.
