Brodie Croyle to start Thursday with Cassel out

Jets and wide receiver Garrett Wilson reached agreement on a four-year, $130 million contract extension that includes $90 million guaranteed.

It marks the first time in NFL history that a receiver has received an average over $31 million after playing only three seasons. Wilson now will be under contract the next six seasons, through 2030.

This is a massive vote of confidence from a team that desperately needs Wilson to play out of his mind to support a middling group of pass-catchers. Justin Fields isn't likely to be a voluminous passer, but Wilson presents an obvious opportunity to soak up a ton of the target share in 2025. We currently have him ranked as a mid-tier WR2.

49ers WR Jauan Jennings, who is scheduled to make $7.5 million this season in the final year of his deal, wants a new contract or a trade, per sources.

49ers extended Jennings’ deal last year, but that does not change how Jennings feels about this year.

This is a good time for a power move from Jennings, as we are still unclear exactly how long Aiyuk will be out as he recovers from his ACL & MCL injuries. We'll keep an eye on this, but if Jennings misses time or does happen to find himself on another team, former first-rounder Ricky Pearsall would be flying up rankings and draft boards.

Los Angeles Chargers running back Najee Harris sustained a superficial eye injury at a Fourth of July event but is expected to be ready for the 2025 NFL season, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported on Thursday.

Harris' agent, Doug Hendrickson, said a fireworks mishap resulted in injuries to his client and multiple people attending the event.

"Najee Harris was present at a 4th of July event where a fireworks mishap resulted in injuries to several attendees," Hendrickson said in a statement, via Rapoport. "Najee sustained a superficial eye injury during the incident, but is fully expected to be ready for the upcoming NFL season."

Harris is "likely" to miss the start of training camp, but that's about all the follow-up news we've been allotted to this point. Hampton was already going to give the veteran a run for his money, but the rookie could very well end up as the lead back heading into Week 1, and if it goes well, he might not give it up. He is currently projected as a fantasy RB2.
