The Rams waived Koski (shoulder) without an injury designation Friday, per the team's transaction report.

Koski ended the 2022 campaign on injured reserve with a shoulder injury, but he appears to be healthy now. The undrafted wideout out of Cal Poly has bounced on and off the Rams' roster since entering the league in 2020, but he may have to look for an opportunity elsewhere in 2023.

The Chargers announced Friday that they will not tender Bandy, making him an unrestricted free agent, Lindsey Thiry of ESPN.com reports.

Bandy took advantage of Los Angeles' depleted wideout corps in 2022 and made 10 appearances, catching 10 of 21 targets for 89 yards. The undrafted product of out San Diego has experience as a kick returner too and should be able to latch on with a new team ahead of training camp.

Dortch announced via his personal Twitter account that he's re-signed with the Cardinals.

Dortch is now set to remain in Arizona for this upcoming campaign following Friday's announcement. After a quiet first couple of years to begin his NFL career, the 24-year-old had a breakthrough season despite the combination of the team's inconsistent quarterback play and the Cardinals' depth at the wide receiver position. Dortch will aim to build off of the 52 catches, 467 yards and two scores that he registered during the 2022 campaign.

Valdes-Scantling didn't reel in his only target during the Super Bowl versus the Eagles.

After a breakout effort during the AFC Championship win over the Bengals, where he recorded six catches for 116 yards and a touchdown, the deep threat was held in check against the Eagles. He closed out the playoffs with seven catches for 122 yards and a pair of scores after compiling 42 grabs for 687 yards and a pair of touchdowns during the regular season. MVS' deal with the Chiefs extends through the 2024 campaign, so he will likely retain a similar role in 2023.

Hill restructured his contract with the Dolphins on Friday to convert his $10 million roster bonus into a $24.84 million bonus and his $16 million salary into a $1.17 million salary, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Hill's restructured opens up about $18 million in cap space for Miami as the team prepares to tackle free agency. The star wideout remains under contract for the Dolphins for the next three seasons after having put together a career 119-1,710-8 receiving line last year. By all accounts, Hill looks to be in prime position for another high-end fantasy season in Year 2 of coach Mike McDaniel's scheme, with Tua Tagovailoa primed to return as his starting quarterback.

The Vikings are releasing Thielen on Friday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Thielen, a former undrafted free agent out of Minnesota State, logged a remarkable 10-year stretch with the Vikings but will now have to continue his NFL career elsewhere. The two-time Pro Bowler and Minnesota discussed a potential contract restructure, per Pelissero, but the 32-year-old will ultimately test free agency as one of the top veteran wide receivers on the market. Though Thielen's statistical production declined across 17 appearances in 2022, he still managed to record 70 catches for 716 yards and six touchdowns.

Beckham (knee) has a scheduled workout for NFL teams in Arizona on Friday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

It's been 13 months since Beckham sustained a torn ACL in his left knee during the Rams' Super Bowl LVI victory against the Bengals in February 2022. The workout likely indicates he's back to full health -- or at least close to it -- and considering he wasn't under contract with a team this past season, he's eligible to sign with a new team at any point. During his 12-game run with L.A. in 2021 (including playoffs), Beckham put up a 48-593-7 line on 74 targets, reeling off seven catches of 20-plus yards in the process.

Williams (back) agreed to restructure his contract Thursday, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports.

The Chargers needed cap relief, and the restructures of Williams and Keenan Allen provided it. Williams' salary conversion creates $5.46 million in 2023 cap space for Los Angeles. Williams was injured in a Week 18 loss to Denver and missed his team's playoff game against the Jaguars but should be healthy now.

Allen agreed to restructure his contract Thursday, per NFL.com's Kevin Patra.

Allen had been rumored to be a potential cap casualty earlier in the offseason, but GM Tom Telesco shut that down at the combine last week. The 30-year-old Allen has converted a large chunk of his 2023 base salary into a bonus to help the Chargers clear $8.9 million in cap space. L.A. did the same thing with Mike Williams' contract Thursday.

New York informed Berrios on Thursday that he will be released, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Berrios will be officially released at the start of the new league year, after he and the Jets were unable to come to terms on a contract restructure. The depth wideout saw his production dip to an 18-145-0 receiving line with an added two rushing touchdowns in 2022, but he's shown enough in his career to find another reserve spot on the open market. The 27-year-old is also able to contribute in the return game.
