Free-agent LB Austin Calitro (Jaguars) was claimed off waivers Tuesday, April 28, by the Cincinnati Bengals, according to a source.

Undrafted free-agent FB Josh Hokit (Fresno State) agreed to terms on a three-year deal with the San Francisco 49ers Tuesday, April 28.

Pittsburgh Steelers WR Chase Claypool is expected to primarily line up outside, according to offensive coordinator Randy Fichtner, but the 6-foot-4 receiver can also play in the slot.

Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray is expected to take another big step in 2020 after being named the 2019 Offensive Rookie of the Year, according to general manager Steve Keim Tuesday, April 28. ‘I think he’s even a better pure passer than people have anticipated, but the thing that’s gonna separate him is the ability to process, to see things, to make good decisions, get the ball out of his hands, don’t take so many sacks,’ Keim said.

Footballguys View: Murray has more weapons around him, and certainly trading for DeAndre Hopkins earlier this year will be a huge boost for the passing game. Fantasy GMs already know that Murray has QB1 upside on a week-to-week basis. As a rookie in 2019, Murray finished as the No.9 fantasy quarterback in standard-scoring leagues. He could push for top-5 status this year.

Philadelphia Eagles DE Derek Barnett’s fifth-year contract option was picked up Tuesday, April 28.

Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson had his fifth-year contract option exercised Tuesday, April 28.

Footballguys View: The Texans were always going to make this move. It leaves Watson under their control for the next two seasons while they work on a long-term extension. Watson should be one of the highest paid quarterbacks in the league in the near future. We’ll see if they get something worked out before the Chiefs hand Patrick Mahomes a well-deserved monster contract.

Pittsburgh Steelers LB T.J. Watt had his fifth-year option exercised Tuesday, April 28.

Free-agent WR Rashard Higgins (Browns) reached agreement on a one-year contract with the Cleveland Browns Tuesday, April 28, according to a league source. Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.

Footballguys View: Higgins was out there on the open market for about two months and generated little interest. The veteran has never played up to his full potential and will once again be buried on the Browns depth chart behind Odell Beckham Jr. and Jarvis Landry. He’ll have more competition for a reserve role since the Browns drafted Donovan Peoples-Jones (Michigan) in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL draft.

Undrafted free-agent FB Luke Sellers (South Dakota State) signed a three-year contract Tuesday, April 28. Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.

Free-agent DL John Jenkins (Dolphins) agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Chicago Bears Tuesday, April 28. Financial terms of the deal weren’t disclosed.
