  • Josh Reynolds WR | NYJ

    Titans' Josh Reynolds: Headed to Tennessee

    Reynolds is signing with the Titans, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

    A 2017 fourth-round pick, Reynolds started 24 of 64 games in four seasons with the Rams, maxing out at five touchdowns (2018) and 618 yards (2020). He profiles as the No. 2 receiver on Tennessee's roster, though he'll likely be a downgrade from Corey Davis, who signed with the Jets last week. The Titans still could use more help behind A.J. Brown at wide receiver, especially given that TE Jonnu Smith (Patriots) also is gone.

  • Chris Lacy WR | LV

    Chris Lacy: Waived by Dallas

    Lacy was waived by the Cowboys on Friday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    After landing a spot on the team's reserves/future list in January, Lacy will leave Dallas before getting the opportunity to see the field. The receiver last saw game action in 2019, during which he caught three of his 10 targets for 60 yards in seven games with Detroit. Lacy will try to earn a depth wideout spot with another team ahead of the 2021 season.

  • Malik Turner WR | SF

    Cowboys' Malik Turner: Signs with Dallas

    Turner signed a deal with the Cowboys on Friday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Turner, who wasn't tendered as a restricted free agent, will return to the Cowboys for a second season. Through six games in 2020, the receiver played a mere two snaps on offense and 91 on special teams. With the receiving corps crowded, the 25-year-old will likely play a similar depth role for the team once again.

  • Steelers' JuJu Smith-Schuster: Back to Pittsburgh on one-year deal

    Smith-Schuster is signing a one-year, $8 million contract with the Steelers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Rapoport suggests Smith-Schuster received better contract offers from the Ravens and Chiefs but decided to stay in Pittsburgh for at least one more year. He's counting on a friendlier free-agent market next offseason, at which point he'll be just 25 years old. Smith-Schuster hasn't made as many big plays the past couple years, but his cumulative receiving stats through four NFL seasons (308/3,726/26) are impressive. The biggest issue in Pittsburgh is a lack of downfield targets, with Smith-Schuster's aDOT dipping to a career-low 5.6 in 2020 as he led the league in slot routes (545) and slot targets (103). That allowed him to catch a career-high 76.4 percent of his targets, but for a career-low 8.6 yards per reception. While he'll likely do better than 8.6 YPR in 2021, it's hard to imagine Smith-Schuster getting a lot of deep targets in an offense where Chase Claypool, Diontae Johnson and James Washington dominate perimeter snaps.

  • Alex Erickson WR | HOU

    Texans' Alex Erickson: Joining Texans

    Erickson is signing a one-year contract with the Texans, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Erickson is most notable as a special-teams ace, though he'll also be able to provide Houston with some wide receiver depth. After having been held under 200 yards in four of five career seasons, though, Erickson's breakout chances seem slim enough that he can only justifiably be rostered in exceptionally deep dynasty formats.

  • Allen Robinson WR | DET

    Bears' Allen Robinson: Accepts franchise tag

    Robinson has officially accepted his franchise tender, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    It was recently reported by Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com that Robinson was in "no rush" to sign his franchise tender, but it looks like the star wideout has decided not to draw out the process. Robinson is thus locked into a one-year, $18 million deal with the Bears, though both sides can still discuss a long-term extension until July 15. It's also still possible that Robinson could be traded, but barring such events, he looks set play out his age-28 season in Chicago, potentially benefiting from more stable quarterback play courtesy of recent arrival Andy Dalton.

  • Zay Jones WR | ARI

    Raiders' Zay Jones: Staying with Las Vegas

    The Raiders re-signed Jones on Thursday, Myles Simmons of NBC Pro Football Talk reports.

    Jones appeared to be on the verge of a potential breakout season after compiling 56 receptions for 652 yards and seven touchdowns for the Bills in 2018. The past two seasons have been underwhelming, however. In a combined 31 games for the Bills (five) and Raiders (26) since the start of 2019, the former East Carolina standout has yielded only 41 catches for 370 yards and one TD. Jones slots in as a secondary option within the receiving corps, as Henry Ruggs (concussion), John Brown and Hunter Renfrow occupy the top three spots on the depth chart.

  • Lions' Breshad Perriman: Links up with Lions

    The Lions and Perriman agreed to a one-year, $3 million contract Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Like father, like son. Upon joining the fifth team of his career, Perriman will move on to Detroit, where his father Brett spent most of his 10-year career. The younger Perriman has found life as a deep threat the past three seasons, ripping off 18.2 YPC and 11 touchdowns on his 82 receptions. There's a clear opening in the Lions' passing attack with all of Kenny Golladay, Marvin Jones and Danny Amendola moving on, so Perriman should be a regular target of Jared Goff in 2021.

  • David Moore WR | CAR

    Panthers' David Moore: New Panthers wideout

    Moore and the Panthers have agreed to terms on a contract, Bill Voth of the team's official site reports.

    Moore is coming off three solid seasons with Seattle, and across 16 games in 2020 he logged 35 catches for 417 yards and a career-high six touchdowns, though his average catch distance dropped to 11.9 from over 17.0 the last two years. The 26-year-old won't have the advantage of working with Russel Wilson any more, which could detract from his already marginal fantasy value, but he'll provide the Panthers an option for the No. 3 receiver gig following the departure of Curtis Samuel.

  • Keelan Cole WR | LV

    Jets' Keelan Cole: Jets off to New York

    The Jets and Cole agreed to a one-year, $5.5 million contract Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Cole broke out as an undrafted rookie in 2017 with a 42-748-3 line on 83 targets. His production has taken a noticeable dip since then, with his YPC dropping from 17.8 that season to 12.8 over the past three. Upon joining the Jets, Cole will be behind Corey Davis and Jamison Crowder in the pecking order at wide receiver, likely competing with second-year pro Denzel Mims for reps.
