Free-agent WR Dede Westbrook (Jaguars) has had preliminary conversations with the Minnesota Vikings.
Footballguys View: There’s been some rumblings about Westbrook recently and he should be able to find a new team in the near future. The Vikings could bring in Westbrook for some speed and veteran depth. Adam Thielen and Justin Jefferson are fine starters but behind them the Vikings could look to upgrade.
Free-agent DT Antwaun Woods (Cowboys) is scheduled to meet with the Indianapolis Colts Monday, May 10, according to a source.
Cincinnati Bengals C Trey Hopkins (knee) said his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament is going well and believes there is a chance he will be ready for the start of the regular season.
Free-agent TE Tim Tebow (Eagles) plans to sign a one-year contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Footballguys View: Tebow is back in the NFL but Tebow-mania isn’t what it used to be. He was a first-round pick (2010) of the Broncos when he was playing quarterback. Tebow led the Broncos to the playoffs in an improbably run in 2011 and won a Wild Card Game against the Steelers. When the Broncos secured Peyton Manning in 2012, Tebow was traded away to the Jets and was soon out of the league. He’s back, and reunited with his college coach Urban Meyer, but this time he’s playing tight end. Tebow will be a reserve tight end and gadget player for the Jaguars.
Free-agent LB Harvey Langi (Jets) signed a one-year contract with the New England Patriots Monday, May 10. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Washington Football Team TE Marcus Baugh was released Monday, May 10.
Free-agent DE Christian Covington (Bengals) agreed to terms with the Los Angeles Chargers Monday, May 10. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Indianapolis Colts OT Eric Fisher’s (Achilles) status for Week 1 is uncertain at this point because he is recovering from an Achilles tendon injury.
Free-agent LB Tamba Hali (Chiefs) signed a one-day contract with the Kansas City Chiefs Monday, May 10, so he can retire as a member of the organization.
Free-agent QB Blaine Gabbert (Buccaneers) agreed to an undisclosed deal with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Monday, May 10.
Footballguys View: This move was reported about a week ago…to nobody’s surprise. Now, we’ll see if Gabbert can win the backup job in 2021. He should be able to but will have to compete with 2021 second-round pick Kyle Trask. The Bucs also have Ryan Griffin on their roster but he’s likely pushed off the roster by the pick of Trask.
