The full trade compensation:
-- Eagles get QB Kenny Pickett and the Steelers original 4th round pick (120 overall) in 2024.
-- Steelers get Eagles 3rd round comp pick (98 overall) and the Eagles highest two 7th round draft picks in 2025.

Related Players: Russell Wilson

This clears the runway for Russell Wilson to take over the starting role throughout the offseason. Pickett will be in pole position to backup Jalen Hurts.

Cardinals WR Hollywood Brown is signing with the Chiefs, another high-octane target for Patrick Mahomes. One of the most talented WRs available, Brown lands in a perfect spot on a 1-year deal worth up to $11M with a chance to cash in next year.

Related Players: Rashee Rice, Skyy Moore, Justin Watson, Justyn Ross

The first addition for the Chiefs WR room has finally come, in the form of Brown. This is unlikely to be the last piece they add, but the immediate impact is bad news for Skyy Moore and Justin Watson, who technically hold the outside roles as it stands prior to the signing.
Hollywood set a new career high by lining up out wide on 79.8% of his snaps last season, and should offer big-play potential in fantasy. His exact value is going to depend on who else the team targets over the next two months.

Chargers are trading WR Keenan Allen to the Bears for a fourth-round pick.

Related Players: Quentin Johnston, Joshua Palmer, D.J. Moore, Tyler Scott, Velus Jones

The Chargers pass-catching group now looks very dire. There is no doubt that they will be loading up wherever they can through the draft but the offense looks questionable heading into 2024.

Velus Jones is all but guaranteed to lose the slot role he was pegged for in Chicago, as their WR room is starting to look pretty great. Caleb Williams could be in for an exciting rookie season, were the Bears to go that route.

Free-agent RB AJ Dillon is expected to re-sign with the #Packers pending a physical.

Related Players: Josh Jacobs

The Packers opted to bring in Jacobs to replace Aaron Jones but are keeping Dillon, who finished 2023 as one of the least efficient running backs in football. Dillon has become an afterthought for fantasy football and should likely remain there.

Former Commanders WR Curtis Samuel is signing a three-year, $24 million deal worth up to $30 million, including $15 million guaranteed, with the Buffalo Bills.

Related Players: Mack Hollins, Khalil Shakir, Andy Isabella

Though the signing doesn't seem like a huge deal on paper, the addition of Samuel should add another dynamic to the Bills offense. The former Panthers and Commanders player has played with OC Joe Brady before and creates further depth for a team that may still be aiming for an option through the NFL Draft.

The Cardinals are trading WR Rondale Moore to the Falcons for QB Desmond Ridder.

Related Players: Drake London, Darnell Mooney

Moore should slot in as the WR3, and will likely be used in a gadget-y role every so often. That won't be enough for fantasy relevance, and the team could still add a piece through the NFL Draft for Kirk Cousins.

The Titans are signing Jaguars star WR Calvin Ridley, completing their FA with a splash. The 29-year-old Ridley gets a 4-year, $92M deal with $50M fully guaranteed.

Related Players: DeAndre Hopkins, Treylon Burks

Calvin Ridley finished the 2023 season WR24 after being drafted WR14, so his first (and only) year with the Jaguars was a bit of a disappointment. Now he joins the Titans to play alongside DeAndre Hopkins with Will Levis at quarterback. The Titans have traditionally been pretty run-heavy, but new head coach Brian Callahan served as the offensive coordinator for the Bengals for the last five seasons. He didn't call the plays, but the Bengals were pretty pass-heavy in that span. (Cincinnati was second in pass rate over expectation in each of the last two seasons.) If Callahan brings those pass-heavy tendencies to the Titans, and Levis is up to the task, then Ridley and Hopkins could have productive fantasy seasons.

The Chargers releasing WR Mike Williams, making him a free agent. Williams, on the books for a $32M cap hit, becomes a top FA WR available.

Related Players: Keenan Allen, Joshua Palmer, Quentin Johnston

Someone had to take the fall for the Chargers' inflated salary cap, and as it stands, the team chose Keenan Allen over Mike Williams. There's a chance he could return at a lower pricepoint, but with the rest of the NFL now able to make their pitches, that doesn't seem likely. Allen should be the typical target monster we've come to expect, assuming both health, and his employment with the team come Week 1.

Wide receiver Lil'Jordan Humphrey is returning to the Broncos on a one-year deal.

Related Players: Tim Patrick, Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims

Humphrey was sneakily second on the team in slot snaps (154) last season, behind Jerry Jeudy (291), who is now in Cleveland. Marvin Mims figures to take at least some of those snaps, assuming the team cuts back on his "go" routes and actively incorporates him into the offense. Humphrey can be passed over in fantasy drafts.

The #Bills have agreed to terms with wide receiver Mack Hollins. More help is on the way for Josh Allen and the passing game.

Related Players: Stefon Diggs, Khalil Shakir, Andy Isabella

Hollins figures to line up along the perimeter, opposite Stefon Diggs on obvious passing situations. His rotation will likely be capped if and when the Bills grab another piece to the puzzle, likely through the NFL Draft.
