Steelers | Kaleb Johnson signs rookie deal Fri May 9, 03:49 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers third-round draft choice RB Kaleb Johnson signed a four-year contract with the Steelers Friday, May 9. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Johnson is exactly the type of runner that fits with the Steelers. He's got some Demarco Murray to his game, and Johnson can be an absolute hammer between the tackles. We'll see him work in concert with Jaylen Warren in 2025. |

Link to story Steelers | Will Howard signs contract Fri May 9, 03:20 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers sixth-round draft choice QB Will Howard signed a four-year contract with the Steelers Friday, May 9. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Howard is a scrappy quarterback who can make pocket throws when well protected. When things go off script, Howard needs to manage his game better. The Steelers have yet to sign Aaron Rodgers to be their starter, and Howard is just a developmental guy in 2025 (and perhaps 2026) anyway. |

Link to story Giants | Thomas Fidone under contract Fri May 9, 02:50 PM
New York Giants seventh-round draft choice TE Thomas Fidone II signed a four-year contract with the Giants Friday, May 9, worth $4.349 million.
| Footballguys view: Fidone is an interesting prospect who plays like a super-sized wide receiver. He's got the physical tools to be a threat down the seam, but he never really played up to his potential in college at Nebraska. |
Giants | Four-year deal with Marcus Mbow Fri May 9, 02:36 PM

Commanders | WAS reaches deals with three rookies Fri May 9, 02:33 PM
Washington Commanders fourth-round draft choice WR Jaylin Lane, sixth-round draft choice LB Kain Medrano and seventh=round draft choice RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt signed four-year contracts with the Commanders Friday, May 9. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Lane is a player who can attack all three levels of the field with speed. He is buried on the depth chart right now, but Lane's speed and moves in the open field will be intriguing enough to earn him a roster spot where he can develop. Croskey-Merritt is one of our favorite sleeper running backs in this class. He's got a three-down skill set with intent as a runner and decent receiving chops. Watch Croskey-Merritt in crazy deep dynasty leagues. |
Patriots | Multiple draft picks sign contracts Fri May 9, 02:30 PM
New England Patriots third-round draft choice WR Kyle Williams, third-round draft choice C Jared Wilson, fourth-round draft choice Joshua Farmer, fifth-round draft choice LB Bradyn Swinson, sixth-round draft choice PK Andres Borregales, seventh-round draft choice OT Marcus Bryant, seventh-round draft choice CB Kobee Minor and seventh-round draft choice LS Julian Ashby signed four-year contracts with the Patriots Friday, May 9. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Kyle Williams is a quick receiver with speed to flip the field on any catch. He'll have a chance to become a favorite target for QB Drake Maye this year. Williams begins his pro career as the no.3 receiver on the depth chart behind Stefon Diggs and DeMario Douglas. |

Houston Texans third-round draft choice WR Jaylin Noel and seventh-round draft choice TE Luke Lachey signed four-year contracts with the Texans Friday, May 9. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Noel is a hyper quick receiver who can get open in tight spaces. In addition to what he can do as a slot receiver, Noel should contribute on special teams as a returner. Lachey had a knee injury a few years ago at Iowa, and he would've been a higher draft pick if not for that injury. There's some TJ Hockenson to his game, but he's clearly got to stay healthy and prove himself as a late-round pick. |
Lions | Four rookies under contract Fri May 9, 02:18 PM

Bears | Colston Loveland not on field Friday Fri May 9, 02:05 PM
Chicago Bears TE Colston Loveland (shoulder) did not participate in practice Friday, May 9, because he is recovering from shoulder surgery, according to head coach Ben Johnson.
| Footballguys view: Loveland's shoulder surgery is going to keep him out of action for the early part of the offseason. When training camp gets here, Loveland should be out there at least in a limited fashion. |
Falcons | Atlanta signs three draft picks Fri May 9, 02:03 PM

Bills | BUF signs six picks Fri May 9, 11:36 AM
Buffalo Bills third-round pick DE Landon Jackson, fifth-round pick DB Jordan Hancock, fifth-round pick TE Jackson Hawes, sixth-round pick CB Dorian Strong, sixth-round pick OT Chase Lundt and seventh-round pick WR Kaden Prawther signed undisclosed four-year deals Friday, May 7.
| Footballguys view: Hawes is a player we will monitor in deep dynasty formats. A former high school linebacker, Hawes was mostly a blocker in college at Yale. He needs to develop as a route runner and we'll see if the Bills want to use him as more than a blocker. Prawther is an outside receiver with good ball skills, but he's not afraid to mix things up in the middle of the field. |
Dolphins | Miami locks up five picks Fri May 9, 11:31 AM
Miami Dolphins fifth-round pick DT Jordan X. Phillips, fifth-round pick CB Jason Marshall Jr., fifth-round pick S Dante Trader Jr., sixth-round pick RB Ollie Gordon II and seventh-round pick DT Zeek Biggers signed their rookie four-year deals Friday, May 9. Phillips, Marshall and Trader, all selected in the fifth round, will each total about $4.6 million on the scale. Gordon, a sixth-round pick, is due to make more than $4.4 million. Ewers and Biggers, as seventh-rounders, are set to make around $4.3 million.
| Footballguys view: Gordon is a player we appreciate because of his size/athleticism combination. He's a big-bodied back (226 pounds) with the movement skills of a smaller back. In the NFL, Gordon needs to show the ability to use his size as a weapon in a power game. The rookie is competing for a reserve spot this year behind De'Von Achane and Jaylen Wright. |
Colts | Six Colts picks inked Fri May 9, 11:24 AM
Indianapolis Colts third-round pick CB Justin Walley, fourth-round pick OT Jalen Travis, fifth-round pick RB DJ Giddens, sixth-round pick QB Riley Leonard, sixth-round pick DT Tim Smith and seventh-round pick S Hunter Wohler.
| Footballguys view: We like the upside of Giddens in deep dynasty formats. He's a slashing runner who doesn't waste a ton of motion with the ball in his hands. Giddens needs to prove himself better as a pass catcher (too many drops), and perhaps add some more muscle to his frame. He will compete for a reserve spot behind Jonathan Taylor and Khalil Herbert. |
Colts | Tyler Warren inks rookie deal Fri May 9, 11:22 AM
Indianapolis Colts first-round pick TE Tyler Warren signed his four-year, $20.9 million rookie deal Friday, May 9. The deal includes a fifth-year option, is fully guaranteed and includes an $11.88 million signing bonus.
| Footballguys view: Warren is an incredibly gifted prospect who can make an impact from day 1 for the Colts. He's a tight end with toughness and run-after-the-catch ability, but he's also an H-back, slot option, and even Wildcat quarterback. Warren can do it all, but he's much more than just a new version of Taysom Hill. No matter who is throwing passes (Daniel Jones or Anthony Richardson), they should find Warren as he can get open against all sorts of coverage. |
Buccaneers | Emeka Egbuka signs rookie deal Fri May 9, 11:12 AM
Tampa Bay Buccaneers first-round pick WR Emeka Egbuka signed his rookie, four-year, $18.1 million contract Friday, May 9. All first-round pick contracts include a fifth-year option.
| Footballguys view: Egbuka is going to command attention from opposing defenses right away. He's got the ability to take the top off the defense immediately, and Egbuka has great hands to make difficult catches seem routine. Clearly a no.1 receiver of the future for the Buccaneers, Egbuka will learn behind Mike Evans and Chris Godwin as a rookie. |
