Former Ohio State RB Quinshon Judkins ran a blazing 4.48 40-yard dash with a 1.51 10-yard split (96th percentile). He also had a 38.5" Vertical (93rd Percentile) and 11'00 Broad Jump (99th Percentile). Judkins did all of this at a hefty 5'11 5/8 and 221 pounds.

Former Ohio State RB TreVeyon Henderson showcased his explosive athletic ability at the Combine running a 4.43 40-yard dash at 5'10 and 202 pounds. He also had a 38.5" Vertical (93rd Percentile) and 10'08 Broad Jump (96th Percentile).

The 49ers have agreed to trade WR Deebo Samuel to the Commanders for a fifth-round pick, according to multiple reports.

Oregon TE Terrance Ferguson led all TEs with a 4.63-second forty time at the Combine on Friday night. The 6'5, 247-pounder also recorded a strong 39-inch vertical and 10'2 broad jump. Ferguson's 9.81 Relative Athletic Score led the position this year and is a 96th percentile mark among all TEs since 1987. His closest athletic comparables include Mike Gesicki and Jared Cook. Ferguson also impressed in the on-field drills, flashing nice routes and a big catch radius.

Former LSU TE Mason Taylor (and son of NFL Hall of Famer Jason Taylor) didn't work out at the Combine, but he did join the group for the on-field drills. Taylor came away with rave reviews including a stellar "Gauntlet" Drill where he showcased great catch technique along with superb hand-eye coordination. He is likely a top-100 pick in the NFL Draft.

Former Bowling Green TE Harold Fannin Jr. was one of the smallest TEs at the Combine, coming in at 6’3 ¼ and 241 pounds. He was expected to run in the 4.6s for the 40-yard dash, but just failed to meet that expectation, falling to 4.71. His stock may be dropping.

The Rams and QB Matthew Stafford have agreed to a restructured contract that will keep Stafford with the team at least through 2025, according to multiple reports. Stafford had reportedly drawn serious interest from the Raiders and Giants as a trade option.

Saints GM Mickey Loomis said Wednesday that the team plans to stick with QB Derek Carr in 2025. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo inidicated, however, that the two sides might need to talk contract ahead of a year that's set to count Carr as a $51.5 million cap hit and pay him $40 million in cash.

The Buccaneers are declining their 2025 option on S Jordan Whitehead, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. That will make Whitehead an unrestricted free agent when the new league year starts in March ... unless Tampa Bay brings him back. Garafolo says GM Jason Licht is keeping that possibility open.

Chiefs GM Brett Veach said from the Combine that TE Travis Kelce is "fired up" about playing in 2025. “We left it as, he’d be back and we’re excited to get him back and get him going," Veach added. Kelce was non-committal about his plans earlier this month, but it sounds like he's let the Chiefs know that he's returning for what will be his 13th season. Kelce posted career lows in multiple categories and scored his fewest PPR points per game since 2015 last year, but he still finished seventh among TEs. Perhaps his fantasy production dips again this year, but we wouldn't bet against him at least cracking the top 12. Kelce's early best-ball ADP is sitting in Round 10 -- although that figures to climb multiple rounds with this news.

Colts GM Chris Ballard reiterated this week that his team will seek competition for QB Anthony Richardson ahead of the 2025 season. Richardson, of course, opened his second season as Indy's starter, got benched for Joe Flacco, returned to the lineup, and then missed the final two games with a back injury. Indy now seems poised to add stronger competition than Flacco this offseason.

The Bills have announced a four-year extension for WR Khalil Shakir. The pact locks him in through 2029. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Shakir will get "up to" $60.2 million, including $32 million guaranteed.

The Raiders have announced a new deal with S Isaiah Pola-Mao. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports it's a to a two-year deal worth up to $8.45 million. That keeps Pola-Mao from becoming a restricted free agent in March.

The Vikings “do not want to repeat their heavy use of veteran [RB] Aaron Jones,” per ESPN’s Kevin Seifert. Jones, 30, set career highs in touches, carries, and snaps in 2024.

The Rams have given QB Matt Stafford permission to gauge trade interest and value from other teams, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Stafford carries a $49.6 million cap number in 2025, but the Rams can save $27 million by trading him in a post-June 1 transaction or $23 million by making him a post-June 1 cut. Stafford, who turned 37 earlier in February, said that he plans to play in 2025, but it's now unclear who he'll be playing for.

The Chargers and DB Elijah Molden have agreed to a three-year, $18.75 million contract extension, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The deal includes $13.5 million in guarantees.

The Saints have hired Doug Nussmeier as OC. The 54-year-old brings an extensive history with new HC Kellen Moore, working together with the Eagles (QB coach), Chargers (QB coach), and Cowboys (QB/TE coach). Nussmeier hasn’t been a play-caller at the pro level but held OC jobs at Fresno State, Washington, Alabama, Florida, and Michigan. The Saints still have a QB problem to solve, but Nussmeier looks like a qualified candidate to help Moore adjust to his first HC gig.

ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler believes there’s a 75% chance the Jaguars cut WR Christian Kirk. Fowler adds that Kirk’s contract is “reasonable enough that the Jaguars might be able to get something for him in a trade if he’s healthy.” The former Cardinal missed most of 2024 with a collarbone injury. Now, the Jags are ushering in a new HC and GM. Kirk ultimately isn’t someone we’d target in early best ball drafts.

The Eagles named Kevin Patullo their new OC. He replaces Kellen Moore, who took the Saints' HC job earlier this month. Patullo has no play-calling experience at any level but has been with the Eagles since HC Nick Sirianni took over in 2021, serving as passing game coordinator and adding the associate HC title for the past two years. Patullo has been "an integral part of the transition between OCs the past few years and a trusted part of Nick Sirianni’s coaching staff," according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. It's a continuity hire by the Eagles. Expect the 2025 offense to look similar to 2024's in terms of play design and run/pass split -- although Patullo's lack of experience adds some downside to the situation.

The Panthers on Tuesday announced a new two-year deal with QB Andy Dalton. It'll reportedly pay him $8 million, with $6 million of that guaranteed and a max value of $10 million. Dalton spent the past two seasons with Carolina, starting six total games.
