Bills | Buffalo inks 13 to futures deals Tue Jan 26, 04:52 PM
Free-agent OT Trey Adams, TE Nate Becker, RBs Christian Wade and Antonio Williams, DT Brandin Bryant, DEs Bryan Cox Jr. and Mike Love, WRs Tanner Gentry, Jake Kumerow and Duke Williams, CB Dane Jackson, S Josh Thomas and QB Davis Webb signed Reserve/Future contracts with the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday, Jan. 26.
| Footballguys view: Gentry was a favorite target of QB Josh Allen in college at the University of Wyoming. He's a try-hard slot receiver who has bounced around the league. Let's see if working with Allen again can help him stick on a roster. |

49ers | Javon Kinlaw gets some work done on knee Tue Jan 26, 03:24 PM
San Francisco 49ers DL Javon Kinlaw recently underwent a routine 'cleanup' procedure on his right knee - the same knee that caused him to miss the final two games of the 2020 season. Per a team spokesman, the injury is not related to the tendinitis Kinlaw dealt with in college, and he is expected to be a participant during the team's offseason program.

Packers | Ten sign futures deals with Green Bay Mon Jan 25, 05:17 PM
Free-agent LBs Tipa Galeai and De'Jon Harris, OG Zack Johnson, TE Isaac Nauta, DLs Willington Previlon and Anthony Rush, RBs Mike Weber and Dexter Williams, CB Stanford Samuels and P Ryan Winslow signed Reserve/Future contracts with the Green Bay Packers on Monday, Jan. 25.
| Footballguys view: Weber and Williams are players to watch in super deep dynasty formats. Partly because of their skill but partly because the Packers running back room is going to look different in 2021. Both Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams are set to be unrestricted free agents this offseason. |

Browns | Myles Garrett tough to slow down Sat Jan 23, 09:25 PM
Cleveland Browns DE Myles Garrett was double-teamed on 26 percent of his pass rush attempts in 2020 and ranked third in the NFL in pass rush win rate.
| Footballguys view: Like Aaron Donald, Garrett was less than 100% for his team's playoff departure, which stings because the game was so close. The Browns were smart to lock him with a second deal before he got close to the open market. |

Rams | Aaron Donald in a league of his own Sat Jan 23, 09:12 PM
Los Angeles DT Aaron Donald faced more double-teams when rushing the passer than any defensive tackle in the NFL in 2020 and posted pass rush wins at the highest rate of any player.
| Footballguys view: Donald being less than 100% for the divisional round loss to the Packers was a big letdown for him and the potential for a more competitive game. He's the best in the game at his position and probably the best defensive player in the game period. |
