Demus has inked a deal with the Ravens as an undrafted free agent Saturday.

In Demus' five years with Maryland, he accumulated 128 receptions for 2,008 yards and 14 touchdowns, with his most productive year coming his sophomore season (41-625-6). Baltimore's new and improved wide receiver room will be tough to crack, so expect Demus to compete for a spot on the practice squad ahead of the upcoming season.

Mooney was recently spotted running during spring workouts and appears to be recovering well from his season-ending ankle injury, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Chicago's top receiver suffered an ankle injury in Week 12 of last season that kept him out for the remainder of the year, but his recovery seems to be going well. Before the injury, the now fourth-year wide receiver was leading the team with 493 yards, 61 targets and 40 receptions in what was a down year compared to his previous season, when he had 1,055 yards, 140 targets and 81 receptions. In the ensuing months, Chicago acquired wide receivers Chase Claypool and DJ Moore and addressed its poor offensive line play, drafting tackle Darnell Wright 10th overall and signing guard Nate Davis in an effort to assist starting quarterback Justin Fields. While Mooney won't be the target hog he used to be due with Chicago's new and improved weapons, he could be more potent on a per-play basis.

Jets coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Davis "will be on this team" in 2023, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Between a busy offseason for the Jets and Davis' non-guaranteed $10.5 million base salary, the 28-year-old wideout has been oft-mentioned as a potential cap casualty. The Jets traded WR Elijah Moore to Cleveland in late March, but only after signing Allen Lazard and Mecole Hardman, and they later added Randall Cobb to give QB Aaron Rodgers another one of his former receivers from Green Bay. Saleh pointed to Davis' blocking and "big boy catches" as reasons he'd stay with the Jets, but it still won't be much of a surprise if the front office has other ideas. Davis has played 22 of a possible 34 games since joining the Jets, catching 66 of 123 targets (53.7 percent) for 1,028 yards (15.6 YPR, 8.4 YPT) and six touchdowns. The rate numbers aren't bad considering the lousy QB play he's dealt with, but $10.5 million is a lot to pay for a receiver who isn't even guaranteed a full-time role.

Gipson signed a contract with the Jets as an undrafted free agent Friday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Gipson had a very successful four-year collegiate career with Stephen F. Austin, recording more than 4,000 receiving yards and 37 touchdowns over 44 games. He'll now attempt to impress the Jets and earn a roster spot in 2023, though he seems likeliest to latch on to a team's practice squad to start his career.

Ngata signed a contract with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent Friday.

Ngata will head to Philadelphia after four seasons with Clemson, most recently recording 41 catches for 526 yards and two touchdowns in 2022. The 6-foot-3 wide receiver will now look to compete for a roster spot in 2023 with the Eagles, though he seems likeliest to start his career as a practice-squad option.

Haselwood signed a contract with the Eagles as an undrafted free agent Friday.

Haselwood will head to Philadelphia after he had an impressive senior season at Arkansas in 2022, reeling in 59 catches for 702 yards and three scores over 12 games. The wide receiver will compete with players like Greg Ward and Britain Covey for a roster spot heading into the 2023 campaign.

Hart signed a contract with the Falcons on Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Hart spent the first three seasons of his career in Seattle, but he'll now find a new opportunity in Atlanta, who have already added Scotty Miller and Mack Hollins to their receiver corps this offseason. Hart suited up just nine times in 2022, missing some action due to a hamstring injury, but he also found himself inactive as a coach's decision multiple times. He'll now work to earn and maintain a regular role with the Falcons in 2023.

Hyatt (hamstring) said Saturday that he wants to play at about 190 pounds, which is 10 pounds above his current weight, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Hyatt indicated that playing at the higher weight "gives him more confidence to make contested catches and not get bumped off routes," per Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site. The 21-year-old was taken by the Giants in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft and, because of his speed, he could work as a downfield threat for the team.

Irwin, who is nominally Tyler Boyd's backup at slot receiver, now faces competition from rookie wide receivers Charlie Jones and Andre Iosivas heading into training camp, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.

Jones in particular looms as a threat as a slot receiver, and was essentially drafted to be Boyd's long-term replacement after this season. Irwin was a practice squad player at the beginning of the 2022 season, so his roster slot is hardly secure, even though he turned in 15 receptions for 231 yards and four touchdowns on 23 targets over just 272 snaps on offense in nine games.

The Jets officially signed Cobb (ankle) to a one-year contract Wednesday, Randy Lange of the team's official site reports.

Aaron Rodgers now has a pair of familiar faces in New York's receiving corps in the form of Cobb and Allen Lazard as the quarterback makes his transition from Green Bay. In addition to reuniting with Rodgers, Cobb will also join one of his former offensive coordinators in Green Bay in Nathaniel Hackett. Cobb is coming off a 2022 campaign in which he put together a 34-417-1 receiving line on 50 targets in 13 games. Cobb currently is in recovery mode from offseason ankle surgery, but his experience with Rodgers should allow him to hit the ground running once he's back to full health.
