Walker will face increased competition for touches after the Ravens drafted a pair of rookie wideouts in Ja'Kobi Lane (third round) and Elijah Sarratt (fourth round) in the 2026 NFL Draft, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Walker seemed like the top candidate for the No. 3 receiver role behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman (illness) prior to the 2026 NFL Draft, but the third-year pro may now need to impress in a competition this offseason in order to secure more than a situational role. Through his first two seasons in the league, Walker has hauled in only seven of 11 targets, but he's made an impact on those limited touches, with 157 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Rookie tight ends Matthew Hibner (fourth round) and Josh Cuevas (fifth round) also represent added competition for targets.

The 49ers signed Pauling as an undrafted free agent Sunday.

Pauling ended his final college season at Notre Dame, starting six games at wide receiver for the Fighting Irish. The 23-year-old accumulated 26 receptions for 381 yards and six touchdowns over 12 contests as a fifth-year senior. Pauling's speed and quickness provide upside for him as a special-teams producer that can also develop offensive value. If he wants to survive the 49ers' cut-down day, he will have to make his versatility potential clear in training camp.

The Jaguars signed Pena as an undrafted free agent Sunday.

Pena, a sixth-year senior, played his first five college seasons with Syracuse before ending his college journey at Penn State. The wide receiver started eight games in 2025 and participated in 13, totaling 49 receptions for 552 yards and two touchdowns. Pena's average size (5-foot-10, 187 pounds) and speed will do him no favors at the NFL level, but his toughness and intuitive feel for space may sneak him onto an NFL roster as a punt return option.

The Jaguars signed Wortham as an undrafted free agent Sunday.

Wortham had a career year during his lone season at Montana in 2025, catching 85 passes for 1,224 yards and 10 touchdowns. As Jacksonville's receiving room is already crowded, Wortham will likely face an uphill battle to make the team's final roster but also has a chance of making the practice squad.

The Jaguars signed Boyd as an undrafted free agent Sunday.

After one season at Minnesota followed by three at Texas Tech, Boyd transferred to Utah State for his fifth and final season of college football in 2025. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound receiver had his best season yet, recording 46 catches for 743 yards and eight touchdowns on 94 targets over 13 games for the Aggies. Boyd will face long odds to make the Jaguars' Week 1 roster and may need to prove his worth on special teams in order to secure a spot.

The Chargers signed Ross as an undrafted free agent Saturday.

Ross spent his first three collegiate seasons at Troy before transferring to Penn State in 2025. He caught 36 passes for 501 yards and five touchdowns during his lone season with the Nittany Lions and can add value as a returner as well.

Brown signed with the Chargers as an undrafted free agent Saturday.

Brown is joining the Chargers from Colorado, where he hauled in 22 receptions for 376 yards and two touchdowns during the 2025 campaign. He will face an uphill battle to make the final roster but could be a practice squad candidate.

The Chargers signed Bradley as an undrafted free agent Saturday.

Listed as a wide receiver during his collegiate stops at Texas Tech, Boston College and Kansas State, the 6-foot-5, 241-pound Bradley will transition to tight end as he makes the jump to the professional ranks. As a fifth-year senior at Kansas State this past fall, Bradley started in five of his nine appearances and totaled 13 catches for 184 yards and two touchdowns on 21 targets.

The Chargers signed Bradley as an undrafted free agent Saturday.

Bradley caught 13 passes for 184 yards and two touchdowns during the 2025 season, and he previously spent time at both Texas Tech and Boston College. With little proven talent at tight behind Oronde Gadsden and Charlie Kosar, Bradley could have a chance to earn a spot on the team's final roster.

Wallace is slated to sign with the Cardinals, Bo Brack of GoPHNX.com reports.

Wallace began his collegiate career at Penn State before transferring to Ole Miss for his final season in 2025. His lone campaign with the Rebels ended up being his most productive, catching 61 passes for 934 yards and four touchdowns.
