The #Vikings are releasing veteran TE Kyle Rudolph, sources tell me and @TomPelissero. End of an era in Minnesota.

Fire up Irv Smith Jr. for 2021, as the third-year TE will finally get the starting gig in Minnesota barring something happening this offseason.

From @NFLTotalAccess WFT QB Alex Smith will be a free agent, likely today, and he becomes an intriguing option in the QB world.

'If you're looking for a potential landing spot for Alex Smith, don't sleep on the Bears."

Expected to be let go by Washington in the coming days, Alex Smith could possibly reunite with Matt Nagy in Chicago. The two spent time together for the Chiefs from 2016-2017.

Source confirms #Eagles LB Alex Singleton, WR Greg Ward and RB Boston Scott have been tendered as exclusive rights free agents.
@Jason_OTC had it first. As ERFAs, Scott, Ward and Singleton can only negotiate with the Eagles.

Both players can only negotiate with the Eagles moving forward. Scott and Ward have been asked to fill in as leads at their respective positions, but neither has shown full-on starter numbers. With a new coaching regime in town, it's tough to tell what their usage will be like in 2021.

Texans just released RB Duke Johnson, per source.

In only 11 games in 2020, the 27-year old put up a 77-235-1 line for the Texans. Duke Johnson should find a home somewhere as a change of pace back.

The #Titans are releasing WR Adam Humphries, source said.

The move saves Tennessee about $4.47M in cap space, and Humphries -- a big-ticket signing two years ago who's still only 27 -- gets a jump start on the market.

A concussion and COVID-19 limited Adam Humphries to just 23 catches for 228 yards and two scores in 2020. His release clears $4.7 million in cap space for the Titans. Known for slot work, Humphries should find a home in a WR room somewhere, but for now, is not on the fantasy radar heading into 2021.

Houston continues to avoid conversations with teams in regards to trading Deshaun Watson per sources. They are refusing to trade their franchise QB.

Grab all the snacks folks, because this could get ugly as the offseason progresses. If Watson stays and plays for Houston, he's currently 4for4's QB7.

Ben Roethlisberger will indeed be back as the #Steelers starting QB this fall. Just connected w/ the two-time Super Bowl winner’s agent, Ryan Tollner, who said this:

"They want Ben back and will contact me soon to address his cap situation"

It appears Ben Roethlisberger will remain a Pittsburgh Steeler for an 18th season. The 38-year old is currently ranked QB27 in 4for4's never-too-early rankings.

#Bucs WR Chris Godwin on @PatMcAfeeShow just now: "I want to be in Tampa. But at the end of the day, I want to get paid too.”

Godwin said he wants a long term deal, but if he’s tagged he’s fine with it and will work for a long term deal next year.

It appears free agent wideout Chris Godwin won't be playing for a hometown discount in 2021. Head coach Bruce Arians has been vocal about wanting to keep Godwin in a Bucs uniform, so it will be interesting to see if they franchise him or let the 24-year old explore other offers.

From NFL Now: It's looking more likely that #Raiders starting QB Derek Carr is back for 2021, while backup QB Marcus Mariota is not. He's been the subject of trade calls.

Derek Carr is currently 4for4's QB17 in John Paulsen's 'never too early rankings'. Six-year veteran Marcus Mariota has garnered some interest from various teams across the league and could find himself a third NFL home in the coming weeks.

The #Jets are planning to complete their evaluations of the top QBs in the NFL Draft before making any decisions on Sam Darnold, sources say. That includes Pro Days and interviews. While they’ve received real interest in Darnold, they want to get the full QB picture first.
