Jacoby Brissett
Jacoby Brissett Remains away from team
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 7:46 PM
Brissett was not present for the first day of the final week of Arizona's voluntary OTAs on Monday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Brissett continues to hold out as he seeks a reworked contract for 2026. He's yet to show up at Arizona's OTAs, though the sessions so far have been voluntary. However, the Cardinals begin mandatory minicamp next Monday, so the situation could escalate if Brissett remains absent then (assuming he hasn't gotten the new deal he desires).
Waived by Philly
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 7:41 PM
Martin (undisclosed) was waived with a failed physical designation by the Eagles on Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Analysis: The linebacker signed with the Eagles in March after tearing his ACL in late November as a member of the Ravens. Martin played on 34 special-teams snaps for Baltimore in 2025.
Participating in OTAs
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 7:34 PM
Thomas (shoulder) is participating in OTAs, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
Analysis: The cornerback's 2025 season ended in December when he suffered the shoulder injury. A third-round pick a year ago, Thomas played in 12 games and on 311 defensive snaps as a rookie, recording seven pass breakups. He should be in the mix for a role again as 2026 approaches.
Participating in OTAs
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 7:29 PM
Farmer (hamstring) is participating in OTAs.
Analysis: The 2025 fourth-round pick suffered the hamstring injury late in the regular season and missed New England's Super Bowl run, finishing the year with 15 tackles (seven solo), a pass breakup and a fumble recovery. Now that he's back, he'll likely compete for a rotational spot behind starting ends Milton Williams and Christian Barmore.
Let go by Jets
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 7:22 PM
King (undisclosed) was waived/injured by the Jets on Monday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: The linebacker will revert to injured reserve unless he's claimed by another team, at which point he would need to reach an injury settlement with New York to have a chance to play in 2026. King was drafted in the sixth round by the Vikings in 2025 but was claimed off waivers by the Jets in October, appearing in 14 combined regular-season games with the two teams, playing mostly on special teams.
Gunner Olszewski
Gunner Olszewski Moves to IR
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 7:10 PM
Olszewski (Achilles) was placed on injured reserve by the Giants on Monday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The kick and punt returner tore his Achilles during OTAs on Friday and will now have to miss the 2026 campaign. Olszewski was in line to retain the returner role he played for New York in 2025.
Seth Henigan
Seth Henigan Cut by Indy
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 7:04 PM
Henigan was waived by the Colts on Monday.
Analysis: The quarterback was let go on the same day that Indianapolis signed Easton Stick, a backup with NFL experience. Henigan spent time on the practice squads of both Jacksonville and Indy in 2025 and was even elevated to the active roster for the regular-season finale by the Colts, though he didn't see action. The Memphis product initially signed with the Jags as an undrafted free agent in April of 2025.
Easton Stick
Easton Stick Finds a new team
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 6:58 PM
Stick signed with the Colts on Monday.
Analysis: The quarterback spent the 2025 campaign in Atlanta, rising from the practice squad following Michael Penix Jr.'s late-season knee injury, though Stick never appeared in a regular-season game. He last saw action in 2023 with the Chargers, when he played in five games and finished with 1,129 yards and three touchdowns against one interception. The fifth-round pick of the Chargers in 2019 is likely competing for a backup role again, this time behind Indianapolis' projected starter, Daniel Jones (Achilles).
Da'Quan Felton
Da'Quan Felton Signs with Jets
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 6:48 PM
Felton signed with the Jets on Monday, Eric Allen of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The wide receiver agreed to a deal with the Giants as an undrafted free agent last April, got waived with an injury designation before the 2025 campaign, spent the season on injured reserve with an undisclosed issue and got waived again by the G-Men in April. Now, Felton will try to find a home with the other New York team. The Virginia Tech product caught 70 passes for 1,027 yards and 10 touchdowns in two seasons with the Hokies.
Bailey Zappe
Bailey Zappe Competing for backup role
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 6:35 PM
Zappe is serving as the second-team quarterback for the Jets during organized team activities, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Zappe has nine career regular-season starts, giving him more experience than fourth-round pick Cade Klubnik and second-year pro Brady Cook. With Geno Smith locked in as the team's starter, Zappe, Klubnik and Cook are competing in an "open competition" for the backup role, per Cimini.
Romello Brinson
Romello Brinson Signs with Dallas
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 6:28 PM
Brinson signed with the Cowboys on Monday, Tommy Yarrish of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The SMU product will try to fight for a spot on a wide receiver depth chart headed by CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and several other players with NFL experience. Brinson caught 43 passes for 638 yards and three scores in 2025 for the Mustangs.
Mac Dalena
Mac Dalena Heading to Buffalo
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 6:22 PM
Dalena signed with the Bills on Monday.
Analysis: The wide receiver signed a reserve/future contract with the Jets in January before being waived by the team in May. Dalena was let go by the Chiefs ahead of the 2025 campaign but spent some time on the Seahawks' practice squad during the season. He has not yet appeared in an NFL regular-season game.
Braxton Berrios
Braxton Berrios Joins New York
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 6:18 PM
Berrios signed with the Giants on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Across four regular-season games with the Texans last year, Berrios caught six passes for 37 yards on eight targets. He also recorded 81 kickoff-return yards and 25 punt-return yards. The former Jet and Dolphin may need to find a special-teams role to have chance to make the G-men.
Samori Toure
Samori Toure Lands in Philly
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 6:13 PM
Toure signed with the Eagles on Monday.
Analysis: The seventh-round pick of the Packers in 2022 appeared in 22 regular-season games with his original team across his first two NFL campaigns. Toure spent the majority of last year on New Orleans' practice squad before playing in the regular-season finale. The wide receiver joins a crowded depth chart in Philadelphia that includes DeVonta Smith, 2026 first-round pick Makai Lemon and offseason additions Dontayvion Wicks, Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore.
Lenny Krieg
Lenny Krieg Let go by Jets
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 6:07 PM
Krieg was waived by the Jets on Monday, Brian Costello of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: The kicker agreed to a reserve/future contract with New York in January, but the team has since signed both Cade York (groin) and Younghoe Koo. York and Koo both have NFL experience, while Krieg has yet to appear in a regular-season game.
Romeo Doubs
Romeo Doubs Patriots bolster WR room
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 4:17 PM
Doubs projects as the No. 2 wide receiver on New England's depth chart after the team traded for A.J. Brown from the Eagles on Monday, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The Patriots signed Doubs to a sizable four-year, $68 million deal early in free agency, but his stint as the projected No. 1 target for Drake Maye comes to an end with the team having traded a 2028 first-round pick and 2027 fifth-round pick in order to acquire Brown's talents. There's no doubt the transaction represents a blow to Doubs' overall target share, but it could also create more favorable matchups for him by forcing defenses to focus on a proven alpha receiver in Brown. Across his four years in Green Bay, Doubs averaged between 32.8 and 46.2 receiving yards per game and never topped 100 targets, so there's a reasonable argument that a true No. 1 role may have stretched him beyond his ideal usage. Even so, Doubs remains firmly entrenched as New England's No. 2 receiver, with Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, DeMario Douglas, and Kyle Williams competing for remaining opportunities.
Julian Hill
Julian Hill Lands on IR
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 4:13 PM
The Patriots placed Hill (undisclosed) on IR on Monday, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Hill joined the Patriots back in March on a three-year deal, but an unspecified injury now will sideline the tight end for the season. For now, Eli Raridon, CJ Dippre and Tanner Arkin are in the mix behind top TE Hunter Henry, but there's a solid chance the team will bring in added depth at the position in the wake of Hill's injury.
DeVonta Smith
DeVonta Smith Philly's WR1 after Brown trade
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 3:59 PM
Smith is set to operate as the Eagles' top wide receiver after the team traded A.J. Brown to the Patriots on Monday.
Analysis: In anticipation of trading Brown, Philadelphia bolstered its wide receiver room by selecting Makai Lemon in the first round of this year's draft, in addition to trading for Dontayvion Wicks and signing Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore in free agency. Smith figures to work ahead of those offseason additions after posting the third 1,000-yard regular season of his five-year career in 2025. Philadelphia's 2021 first-round draft pick has averaged 111 targets in his first five regular seasons, the last four of which came while starting alongside Brown.
Drake Maye
Drake Maye Pats add new No. 1 wideout
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 3:55 PM
Maye has a new No. 1 wide receiver after the Patriots traded for A.J. Brown from the Eagles on Monday, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The deal did not become official until June 1 due to Philadelphia's salary-cap considerations, but it now caps what has been an exceptionally productive offseason for Maye and New England's offense. A three-time All-Pro and true alpha target for Maye, Brown is an upgrade over departed 2025 team receiving leader Stefon Diggs. Brown joins a capable No. 2 option in Romeo Doubs, who inked a four-year deal in free agency, plus TE Hunter Henry and returning WRs Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, DeMario Douglas and Kyle Williams. Maye, who has fully recovered from the shoulder injury he played through in Super Bowl XL against the Rams, thus looks primed for another step forward after finishing as the MVP runner-up in 2025. Across 17 regular-season appearances last year, he threw for 4,384 yards and a 31:8 TD:INT while adding 450 yards and four touchdowns on 103 carries. Maye figures to be one of the most sought-after quarterbacks in 2026 fantasy drafts, and his dual-threat skill set paired with New England's revamped receiving corps gives him the upside to justify those expectations.
A.J. Brown
A.J. Brown Headed to Patriots
Mon, Jun 1, 2026, 3:25 PM
The Eagles are trading Brown to the Patriots, Evan Lazar of the team's official site reports. Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, New England is sending a 2028 first-round pick and 2027 fifth-round pick to Philadelphia in exchange for the wideout.
Analysis: Following months of speculation, the two sides have finally reached a deal to send the 28-year-old wideout to New England. Waiting until June 1 always made sense for the Eagles, as doing so allows the team to spread Brown's $43.5 million dead-cap hit over the next two seasons, rather than absorbing it all this year. In anticipation of the move, this offseason Philadelphia bolstered a WR corps (which continues to feature DeVonta Smith) by adding Dontayvion Wicks in a trade, Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore via free agency, as well as selecting Makai Lemon 20th overall in the 2026 NFL Draft. From the Patriots' perspective, Brown reunites with Mike Vrabel -- who coached him in Tennessee - and gives ascending young QB Drake Maye a legitimate No. 1 option in a wide receiver corps that also includes Romeo Doubs, Kayshon Boutte, Mack Hollins, DeMario Douglas and Kyle Williams. Steady weekly volume should be the norm for Brown in his new uniform, which puts the 2019 second-rounder in a position to continue to be a reliable fantasy producer this coming season.
