Winston signed a reserve/future contract with the Seahawks on Monday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Winston first came into the league with the Rams as an undrafted free agent out of Washington State in 2020 and ultimately found his way to Seattle in 2022. The 27-year-old appeared in one game with the Seahawks this past season, seeing two snaps on offense, but not getting a target. He'll now have an opportunity to make a bigger impact with the franchise next year.

Luther signed a reserve/future contract with the Patriots on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Luther ended up on New England's practice squad this season after initially joining the Jets as an undrafted free agent out of Gardner-Webb. Although he was unable to make it to the 53-man roster this year, he'll now get another opportunity with the team for next season.

Tolbert caught two of three targets for eight yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 38-10 romp over the Commanders.

The second-year wideout connected with Dak Prescott on a three-yard TD to open the scoring in the first quarter. Tolbert saw a limited role in the offense during the regular season, essentially splitting the No. 3 role with Michael Gallup behind CeeDee Lamb and Brandin Cooks, but he showed significant improvement from his disappointing rookie campaign and caught 22 of 36 targets for 268 yards and two touchdowns over 17 games. Tolbert will look to make a postseason splash when the Cowboys face the Packers in the wild-card round Sunday.

Speaking with the media Monday, Wilson said his neck is fine after he was forced to leave Week 18's win over the Patriots, Connor Hughes of SNY.tv reports.

Wilson took a glancing blow to the head from New England safety Jabrill Peppers in the season finale and exited after 38 offensive snaps. The wideout underwent an evaluation for a concussion and was diagnosed with a neck issue. It doesn't sound like he's dealing with anything significant, and Wilson should have a normal offseason after catching 95 passes for 1,042 yards and three touchdowns this season. Wilson's 168 targets were the fourth most in the NFL, trailing only CeeDee Lamb (181), Davante Adams (175) and Tyreek Hill (171). Getting Aaron Rodgers (Achilles) back healthy for 2024 should provide a big boost to Wilson's efficiency and touchdown upside.

Parker finished the 2023 season with 33 catches on 55 targets for 394 yards in 13 games.

In his second year with New England, Parker didn't catch any TD passes while working in a passing offense that struggled to find consistency. The 30-year-old is under contract with the Patriots through the 2025 campaign, but with plenty of turnover expected following a 4-13 campaign, it's way too early to get a read on Parker's chances of putting together a bounce-back effort next season, or even predict what uniform he might be wearing in 2024.

Jones was not targeted but posted 113 kick-return yards in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

After being selected in the third round of the 2023 draft, Jones has not become a regular part of Chicago's offense. On the season, he caught four passes for 20 yards to go with eight rushes for 51 yards. Although Jones has two years remaining on his rookie contract, he could be battling for a roster spot in 2024.

Taylor played 24 percent of the snaps but wasn't targeted in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

In his first year with Chicago and sixth season as a pro, Taylor's main value was as a punt returner. The veteran played fewer than 10 percent of the offensive snaps in more than half of his games, and his only touch of the season was a rushing attempt that resulted in a two-yard loss. He was also targeted once this season. Taylor is now an unrestricted free agent.

St. Brown caught one pass for 18 yards in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

St. Brown was most valuable as a blocker, which explains why he was targeted six times in seven games played despite being on the field between 37 and 59 percent of the snaps in each contest he suited up for. The veteran ended the season with five catches for 62 yards. After two seasons with Chicago and five years in the league, St. Brown is an unrestricted free agent.

Scott caught one pass for 12 yards in the Bears' 17-9 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Scott played on at least 40 percent of the snaps in eight of his last 12 games, and he gained valuable experience that he'll need to make a push up the depth chart in 2024. The rookie finished the season with 17 catches and 168 yards along with seven rushes for another 41 yards. Scott is signed through the 2026 season.

Diggs corralled seven of eight targets for 87 yards in Sunday's 21-14 win over the Dolphins.

Diggs finished Sunday's division-clinching victory with his most yards and receptions in a single game since Weeks 6 and 8, respectively. The vocal superstar didn't sniff the 6/120/3 line he posted when these teams first met in Week 4, but this was still a significant improvement over what we had seen from Diggs over his last four games when he averaged a measly 31.8 yards per game with no trips to the end zone. Perhaps this was the kickstart the 29-year-old needed ahead of next Sunday's wild-card round matchup against the Steelers. Diggs ends the regular season with his his sixth consecutive campaign of 1,000-plus receiving yards and fifth straight with at least 100 receptions.
