Team news: Buffalo Bills | Page 17

Steelers GM Omar Khan says he's "finishing up" an extension for QB Mitch Trubisky -- a move that makes a ton of sense for both parties.

Trubisky -- a 2022 captain -- is a quality, vet backup and good locker room guy. His cap hit was also set to be $10mil in 2023.

Trubisky is in a decent situation, with a young pass-catching group and an improving offensive line. If something were to happen to Kenny Pickett, he would be an interesting option in deep SuperFlex leagues

The Bills have signed RB Latavius Murray to a one-year deal.

Related Players: James Cook, Damien Harris, Nyheim Hines

The signing of Murray likely impacts Damien Harris rather than any other back currently on the Bills' depth chart. Harris is also on a one-year "prove-it" deal and operates in essentially the same capacity as Murray has in recent years. In fantasy aspects, Harris and Murray will likely vulture each other's goal-line carries, while Josh Allen will eat into both of their upsides.

James Cook is more than likely the only player we truly want in this backfield as he looks to take a sophomore leap in 2023.

The Buffalo Bills and kicker Tyler Bass have agreed to terms on a four-year extension worth up to $21 Million with $12.3 guaranteed.

Bass finished his sophomore year as the overall fantasy K6 in 2022 and 2021, locking him into lineups for years to come. This is on top of kicking in Buffalo, one of the most weather-impacted cities in the NFL.

Jets continue making moves, and here’s another: they reached an agreement today to bring back RB Ty Johnson on a one-year deal.

Related Players: Zonovan Knight, Michael Carter

Johnson has done most of his work as a third-down receiving threat since joining the Jets in 2020. He's a special teams contributor and shouldn't in any way impede on Breece Hall's snaps.

The Browns are trading for Jets speedy WR Elijah Moore. A new threat in Cleveland. Terms: It's pick No. 42 for Moore and pick 74.

Just mere hours after signing Mecole Hardman, New York has moved on from speedster Elijah Moore, who they drafted in the second round of the 2021 draft. It clears the way for Hardman to be the Jets WR4 while Cleveland adds a much-needed offensive weapon at the cost of a pick-swap. It's an easy win for quarterback Deshaun Watson and the Browns offense.

The Jets have agreed to terms with Mecole Hardman on a one-year deal worth up to $6.5M.

Related Players: Elijah Moore, Denzel Mims

Hardman brings a lot of speed and a gadget option but he's probably not seeing the field any more often than a rotational WR3. Assuming Aaron Rodgers ever signs a contract, Hardman could operate as a lite version of a late career Ranndall Cobb.

As the status of Cardinals star WR DeAndre Hopkins comes into focus, talks are ramping up among the interested teams. Similar to Brandin Cooks, a trade would likely mean an altered contract.

Related Players: Marquise Brown

Hopkins will obviously demand a high target share, so wherever he goes, it will be at the expense of another wide receiver's volume. Back in Arizona, Hollywood Brown could operate as more of a WR1 but we still aren't sure who will be throwing him the ball in the beginning of the year.

Former Patriots’ RB Damien Harris reached an agreement on a one-year deal with the Buffalo Bills.

Related Players: James Cook

The running back shuffling continues in the AFC, and this one is intra-division. The Bills needed a between-the-tackles banger with only James Cook and Nyheim Hines on the roster, and they got one. Harris had slowly grown out of favor in New England as Rhamondre Stevenson took over a more three-down role. Assuming Buffalo doesn't draft a Day 2 RB, Harris has a chance to replicate his TD-heavy season from 2021.

Wanting to add speed and a complement to Pro Bowler CeeDee Lamb, the Dallas Cowboys acquired Houston Texans wide receiver Brandin Cooks on Sunday for a fifth-round pick in 2023 and a sixth-round pick in 2024.

Related Players: Michael Gallup, Nico Collins, Robert Woods, Noah Brown

As the luster has worn off of Michael Gallup as the Cowboys' WR2, Dallas looks to add a compliment to CeeDee Lamb. Last year's offseason additions, James Washington and Jalen Tolbert, combined for two receptions on the season. Cooks should have some useful fantasy games but is still currently ranked as a WR4.

TE Dawson Knox was on the field but in a red non-contact jersey. Katherine followed up with, "Dawson Knox left Saturday's game for a bit after landing hard on a catch the first play of Bills' opening drive. He came back and played 75% of the snaps on offense. After the game, he said 'just landed on it -- a little hip pointer, nothing major.'"

Related Players: Quintin Morris

Unless we get news of Knox missing Friday's practice it would seem we have nothing to worry about in fantasy land. He has gone 13-177-3 over the last three games and is a TE1 in what could be an explosive offensive game against the Bengals on Monday Night Football.
