Simi Fehoko WR | ARI
Cardinals' Simi Fehoko: Returns to Arizona
The Cardinals re-signed Fehoko (wrist) to a one-year contract Friday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.
Fehoko suffered a season-ending wrist injury in Week 10 last season and missed the remainder of the 2025 campaign. A wide receiver by trade, Fehoko played just 37 offensive snaps across eight games but logged another 116 snaps on special teams. He'll compete for a roster spot this summer under new coach Mike LaFleur.

Van Jefferson WR | WAS
Commanders' Van Jefferson: Joining Commanders
Jefferson (forearm) is signing with the Commanders, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports.
Jefferson finished the 2025 regular season with the Titans on injured reserve due to a forearm injury, but he looks to have recovered. Prior to that injury, the six-year NFL veteran recorded 350 receiving yards in 16 games. Jefferson had 802 regular-season receiving yards back in 2021 with the Rams but hasn't topped 369 in any of his other five campaigns, which suggests he's likely ticketed for a depth role in Washington.

Dyami Brown WR | WAS
Commanders' Dyami Brown: Links back up with Commanders
Brown is signing a one-year contract with the Commanders, Nicki Jhabvala of The Athletic reports Friday.
Brown spent his first four seasons in Washington, recording 59 catches for 784 yards and four touchdowns across 63 regular-season games. After posting a 227-yard regular season with the Jaguars in 2025, Brown will rejoin the Commanders, who have a wide open depth chart at wide receiver behind Terry McLaurin.

Jalen Tolbert WR | MIA
Dolphins' Jalen Tolbert: Signing one-year deal with Dolphins
Tolbert is slated to sign a one-year contract with the Dolphins, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
Tolbert reportedly has a close relationship with new Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis, which may have played a role in the former Dallas wide receiver's decision to sign with Miami. Across four regular seasons with the Cowboys, Tolbert recorded 1,093 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns. Most of that production came in 2024, when Tolbert posted 610 yards and seven touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. Miami's wide-receiver depth chart is up in the air behind Jaylen Waddle (ribs).

Josh Downs WR | IND
Colts' Josh Downs: Larger role after Pittman trade?
Downs has an opportunity to earn more targets in 2026, as Teresa Varley of the Steelers' official site reports Friday that the Colts have officially traded Michael Pittman to Pittsburgh.
Downs has averaged a respectable 97.7 targets across his first three NFL regular seasons, but he could get even more opportunities after the departure of Pittman, who drew at least 111 targets in each of his last five campaigns with the Colts. The Colts re-signed wide receiver Alec Pierce and quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles), keeping intact the rest of a passing game in which Downs finished fourth on the team with 566 receiving yards in 2025, trailing Pierce (1,003), rookie tight end Tyler Warren (817) and Pittman (784).

A.J. Brown WR | PHI
Eagles' A.J. Brown: Could still be traded
The Eagles have discussed trading Brown in recent weeks, including dialogue with the Rams before they traded for CB Trent McDuffie, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.
The report notes that Los Angeles remains interested, though negotiations slowed down after the McDuffie acquisition. New England is mentioned most often in trade rumors, even after reaching a four-year agreement with WR Romeo Doubs. The Eagles, meanwhile, don't seem to be in any rush, which makes sense given that any deal completed June 1 (or later) would have the dead-cap charge split between 2026 and 2027 (rather than taking the entire $43.4 million hit this year). One or two suitors may lose interest between now and then, especially after the NFL Draft, but there will always be some market for a player with six 1,000-yard seasons through seven years in the NFL. If the Eagles aren't happy with offers, they may instead try to sell Brown on the idea of an improved passing game under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion.

Calvin Austin III WR | NYG
Giants' Calvin Austin: Signs one-year pact with G-Men
The Giants signed Austin to a one-year contract worth up to $4.5 million Thursday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
It's a nice landing spot for Austin, in the sense there isn't a whole lot of proven competition at the wide receiver spot behind Malik Nabers (knee), as Austin looks like a current favorite to be part of the team's three-wide set alongside Malik Nabers (knee) and Darius Slayton after Wan'Dale Robinson left in free agency. Austin failed to gel with Aaron Rodgers in Pittsburgh last season, securing just 31 of 55 targets for 372 yards and three touchdowns across 14 regular-season appearances. Austin averaged 15.2 yards per catch in 2024 and offers theoretical big-play potential.

Tutu Atwell WR | MIA
Dolphins' Tutu Atwell: Miami native returning home
Atwell is signing a one-year contract with the Dolphins, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports Thursday.
Atwell had 1,535 receiving yards and five touchdown catches in five regular seasons with the Rams. The Miami native should help the Dolphins stretch the field with his speed. Atwell joins a wide receiver room that doesn't have much depth behind Jaylen Waddle (ribs), as no wide receiver besides Waddle (910) exceeded 317 receiving yards for Miami in 2025.

Lil'Jordan Humphrey WR | DEN
Broncos' Lil'Jordan Humphrey: Re-ups with Broncos
Denver re-signed Humphrey on Thursday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Humphrey kicked off the 2025 campaign wearing a Giants uniform, but he was poached off New York's practice squad by the Broncos in advance of a Week 11 game against Kansas City and provided the team with depth at wideout behind Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Pat Bryant and Marvin Mims down the stretch. Now, heading into his age-28 season, Humphrey appears positioned to reprise a similar reserve role.
