Falcons trade for Rams CB Tye Hill

The Rams signed second-round pick tight end Terrance Ferguson.

As the logjam of unsigned second-round picks breaks, Ferguson received about 83 percent of his contract fully guaranteed. Ferguson could be in the mix almost immediately in the Rams offense. He posted almost 1,600 receiving yards and 16 touchdowns in four seasons at Oregon and, given his size and ability, could become a favorite target sooner rather than later for quarterback Matthew Stafford. Rookie tight ends are always tough to project in their first year. Ferguson is averaging as the 27th tight end off the board.

The Saints signed second-round rookie quarterback Tyler Shough to a four-year deal worth $10.795 million.

The contract value was already known via the rookie wage scale, but with other second-round picks this year, it came down to how much of that money was going to be fully guaranteed. Shough received 100% of his deal fully guaranteed. Schefter also notes Shough received an annual Roster Bonus structure, meaning he will receive majority of his compensation each year during the first week of camp.

Shough had the leverage of being a quarterback when it came to the guarantees and saw every other player selected above him in the second round, except Browns RB Quinshon Judkins, who hasn't signed yet due to his legal issues, receive a fully guaranteed contract.

Shough will be in a camp battle with Spencer Rattler and Jake Haener for the starting role. Regardless, the outlook for the Saints is not a very strong one. That said, Shough could be the starter sooner rather than later. He's the quarterback that was brought in by new head coach Kellen Moore and the team spent a top-40 pick on him. Rattler and Haener were both Day 3 picks. The Saints report to camp on Tuesday, begin their preseason schedule August 10 on the road against the Los Angeles Chargers and kick off the regular season at home on September 7 against the Arizona Cardinals.

49ers placed WRs Brandon Aiyuk and Ricky Pearsall on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list.

Aiyuk was expected, but Pearsall seems to be dealing with an undisclosed injury. We'll keep an eye on things, but we still expect the latter to be ready for Week 1. Regardless, Jennings continues to creep up rankings dispite his current contract dispute and finds himself as a borderline WR2/3 in our rankings, while Pearsall hovers in the WR4 range.
