Patrick will remain with the Broncos after the team placed a contract tender on the exclusive rights free agent Monday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

The 26-year-old was a solid contributor despite missing eight games with a hand injury, hauling in 16 of 31 targets for 218 yards in 2019. Patrick did emerge late in the season as a nice No. 2 option behind Courtland Sutton, but he'll likely face some competition from inside and outside sources heading into the 2020 season. Depending on how Denver handles it's receiver depth chart, Patrick could be in line for a depth spot and special-teams duties yet again.

The Seahawks have tendered Moore at the original-round level, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

Moore was a seventh-round pick in 2017, so any team that signs him to an offer sheet will need to send a seventh-round selection to Seattle if the Seahawks don't match. He made some noise in 2018 with 445 yards and five touchdowns, but he started just one game in 2019 en route to a 17-301-2 receiving line. He could be in the mix for the team's No. 3 WR job this offseason, depending on other moves in the weeks to come.

The Texans have traded Hopkins and a fourth-round draft pick to the Cardinals in exchange for running back David Johnson as well as second and fourth-round choices, ESPN's Sarah Barshop reports.

This stunning blockbuster shakes up both Arizona's pass-catching corps as well as Houston's backfield. Young QB Kyler Murray now has a new No. 1 option in Hopkins, who will head a loaded Cardinals wideout corps that also includes Larry Fitzgerald and Christian Kirk .

The Texans are reportedly trading Hopkins to the Cardinals, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

We'll await details on the exact parameters of the deal, but this news comes shortly after reports surfaced that the Cardinals were sending running back David Johnson to Houston.

With Dak Prescott receiving the Cowboys' franchise tag, Cooper will be able to test the free-agent market, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The Cowboys will make an honest effort to re-sign their star wide receiver, but there's no question other teams will be interested. Cooper arguably profiles as the top prize on the market, at least in the non-quarterback category. The Cowboys had been hoping for the option to use both a franchise tag and a transition tag this offseason, but the recent completion of a new CBA eliminates that possibility.

The Colts have elected to extend a contract tender to Fountain (ankle), which ensures that the exclusive rights free agent will remain with the team, Joel Erickson of the Indianapolis Star reports.

The 2018 fifth-rounder is bouncing back from a dislocated and fractured left ankle that he suffered this past August, with his recovery having progressed to the point that he recently resumed running routes. Fountain will now look to re-prove his health in the coming months with an eye toward carving out a meaningful role in Indy's passing game this coming season.

Doss was tendered a contract by the Raiders on Friday, Jerry McDonald of The San Jose Mercury News reports.

The 23-year-old caught 11 passes for 133 yards as an undrafted rookie in 2019, so it's not a major surprise to see the team tender him a contract as an exclusive rights free agent. Doss figures to be a practice-squad candidate while fighting for a roster spot in training camp.

Slater and the Patriots have agreed on a two-year contract extension, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Slater has been with the Patriots since he was drafted in 2008. He is widely considered one of the best special teams players in the league, so this move certainly makes sense for New England.

The Dolphins tendered Ford to a one-year contract Thursday, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

Ford performed admirably when called upon as Miami's No. 3 receiver down the stretch of the 2019 campaign, hauling in 21 passes for 235 yards across the final four weeks of the season. He stands to compete with the likes of Allen Hurns, Jakeem Grant and Albert Wilson for reserve snaps in 2020.

The Texans signed Carter to a one-year contract extension Wednesday.

Carter was set to become an exclusive-rights free agent March 18, but the team has chosen to retain the 26-year-old rather than letting him explore other options. A core special-teams asset, Carter stands to reprise his usual role as a return specialist and depth wideout for the 2020 season.
