The Jets are expected to sign Cobb (ankle) to a one-year contract Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Cobb won't have an easy path to playing time while the Jets have all of Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, Corey Davis and Mecole Hardman on hand at receiver, but his addition could be an indication that New York envisions more changes to come to the receiving room. Davis, in particular, has been regularly mentioned in trade rumors this offseason. Cobb is coming off ankle surgery, but his familiarity with Rodgers means he shouldn't require as many practice reps to acclimate to a depth role in the Jets offense.

The Vikings have declined Reagor's fifth-year option for 2024, NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports.

This was a no-brainer for GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. Famously picked one spot ahead of Justin Jefferson at 21st overall by the Eagles in 2020, Reagor has been a major bust and is now teammates with Jefferson in Minnesota. In his first season with the Vikings last year, Reagor turned 13 targets into eight catches for 104 yards and one touchdown while serving as a return man. He won't be guaranteed a roster spot headed into 2023.

McKenzie will face competition for the starting slot receiver role from 2023 third-round pick Josh Downs, the Indianapolis Star reports.

Indianapolis wide receiver coach Reggie Wayne called Downs the best receiver in the 2023 draft class, so that may be an indication he has a head start in the race. The Colts signed McKenzie for just one year and $1.23 million, so it's not a lock he even makes the Week 1 roster. However, the Colts may want to begin the season with a veteran in the slot if Downs has any growing pains in training camp, especially if rookie Anthony Richardson, the fourth overall pick in this year's draft, wins the starting quarterback job over Gardner Minshew.

Wilkerson was waived by the Colts on Tuesday.

Wilkerson was claimed by Indianapolis after being waived by the Patriots back in February. The 26-year-old spent three seasons in New England, suiting up four times and accumulating four catches on eight targets for 42 yards and two touchdowns. However, he did miss the entire 2022 campaign after being placed on injured reserve upon suffering a concussion during training camp. He'll now seek the opportunity to land with another team's receiving corps ahead of the 2023 season.

Eskridge will compete for a depth spot heading into the 2023 season after the Seahawks selected Jaxon Smith-Njigba in the first round of this year's draft, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.

Even if the Seahawks didn't add to their receiver room, Eskridge wasn't a lock for a starting role, let alone a roster spot. The 2021 second-round pick has played just 20 games through his first two seasons with only 17 catches for 122 yards and a touchdown to show for it. Cade Johnson and Dareke Young will be his primary competition for the No. 4 spot in 2023.

The Broncos picked up Jeudy's fifth-year option for the 2024 season Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Denver now has Jeudy under contract for two more seasons, setting him up to carry a $12.98 million salary for the 2024 campaign. The 24-year-old fell short of his first 1,000-yard season by just 28 yards last year, but a strong finish nonetheless allowed him to rack up a 67-972-6 receiving line through 15 appearances. The Broncos added rookie wideout Marvin Mims in the second round of April's draft, and Tim Patrick (knee) could play a significant role once fully recovered from his ACL tear, but picking up Jeudy's fifth-year option is a no-brainer for new head coach Sean Payton.

The Jaguars signed Jenkins as an undrafted free agent Monday.

Jenkins will head to Jacksonville after he went undrafted in the 2023 NFL Draft. The wide receiver caught 27 passes for 404 yards and six scores over 11 games with LSU in 2022.

Jackson is expected to sign with the Titans as an undrafted free agent, Mike Moraitis of USA Today reports.

Jackson played collegiately at Georgia for four seasons and secured 78 of 131 targets for 1,096 yards and four touchdowns over his career with the Bulldogs. After going undrafted, he'll join the Titans for the start of their offseason program.

Brownlee is expected to sign with the Jets as an undrafted free agent, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Brownlee spent the last three seasons at Southern Mississippi, and he secured 55 of 117 targets for 891 yards and eight touchdowns last year. He wasn't selected in the 2023 Draft but will have an opportunity to compete for a roster spot with the Jets.

Washington is expected to sign Tinsley as an undrafted free agent, Bryan Manning of USA Today reports.

After exploding for 87 receptions, 1,402 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns for Western Kentucky in 2021, Tinsley opted to transfer to Penn State. In his lone campaign for the Nittany Lions, the 6-foot-1 wideout secured 51 passes for 577 yards and five scores. The lack of sizable production against elevated competition may have caused Tinsley to go undrafted, but he'll still get a chance to compete for a roster spot during training camp. However, with Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson, Curtis Samuel and Dyami Brown locked into the top wideout spots, Tinsley likely will have to settle for a practice-squad spot to begin his professional career.
