Dolphins | Miami considering two CBs
Free-agent CB Leon Hall (Bengals) and CB Antonio Cromartie (Jets) are two players the Miami Dolphins have consider pursuing this offseason.
Jets | Christian Hackenberg financials
Updating a previous report, New York Jets QB Christian Hackenberg’s four-year rookie contract is worth $4.66 million.
Footballguys View: Hackenberg will have a chance to win the starting job, but we’re not touching him if he does. His shell-shocked attitude behind the offensive line will take time to get rid of, if it ever happens at all. The Jets quarterback situation is shaky, though Geno Smith is a little intriguing given the success the very average Ryan Fitzpatrick had in Chan Gailey’s offense and the weapons the Jets have on offense.
Browns | Cody Kessler will practice
Cleveland Browns rookie QB Cody Kessler will still practice at the rookie minicamp even if he doesn’t sign by the start of camp Thursday, May 12, due to the injury protection clause.
Footballguys View: Kessler is who he is – a guy who won’t make a lot of mistakes but who is risk averse to a fault. He’s unlikely to be a threat to Robert Griffin III in his rookie year, and we’re not sure we expect much of him down the road either. That said, Hue Jackson has made decent quarterbacks look great before, so we have some hope.
Browns | Two rookies sign
Cleveland Browns rookie WR Jordan Payton and LB Scooby Wright III signed their four-year rookie deals Thursday, May 12.
Footballguys View: Payton is an interesting later round addition. Given the lack of veteran receivers in Cleveland, and his skillset (possession receiver), Payton could turn into a decent WR3 or WR4 in a PPR league.
Raiders | Sign Jaydon Mickens
Undrafted free-agent WR Jaydon Mickens (Washington) signed with the Oakland Raiders Thursday, May 12.
Seahawks | Trevone Boykin could be backup
Seattle Seahawks QB Trevone Boykin has a good shot at earning the backup quarterback position behind QB Russell Wilson, with only QB Jake Heaps with whom to compete. Head coach Pete Carroll thinks Boykin’s style of play fits well with Seattle’s offense and is similar to Wilson.
Footballguys View: Wilson is still the man here, and with his contract running until the end of the 2019 NFL season, that won’t change but Boykin is a good safety net against serious injury as he will not require a change to the offense if Wilson is hurt.
Buccaneers | Dez Stewart goes to IR
Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR Dez Stewart (undisclosed) reverted to the Reserve/Injured list Thursday, May 12, after being waived/injured Wednesday, May 11.
Chargers | Waive Michael Huey
San Diego Chargers OG Michael Huey was waived Thursday, May 12.
Bears | Anthony Jefferson waived
Chicago Bears DB Anthony Jefferson was waived Thursday, May 12.
