The Buffalo Bills made a blockbuster trade on Wednesday, but not the one their fans will particularly like. The team announced that they traded a star wide receiver to the Houston Texans in exchange for a second-round pick in 2025.

As part of the trade, Houston will also get a 2024 sixth-rounder (No. 189 overall) and a fifth-round selection pick in 2025. The Bills are receiving a second-rounder that the Texans previously acquired from the Minnesota Vikings.

By trading Diggs, the Bills are now without a clear No. 1 option at the wide receiver position. They previously also let Gabe Davis, their second-leading receiver last season, walk in free agency. However, general manager Brandon Beane insisted during a press conference on Wednesday that trading Diggs doesn’t indicate a step back for the franchise.

“This is by no means the Bills giving up or trying to take a step back or anything like that. Everything we do, we’re trying to win. And we’re going to continue to do that, “said

Diggs finished the 2023 season with 107 catches for 1,183 yards and eight touchdowns. However, his numbers declined as the season progressed. He failed to eclipse 100 receiving yards since Week 7 and didn’t have a touchdown in the final six games of the regular season.

By acquiring Diggs, the Texans will give their standout quarterback C.J. Stroud another reliable target. He will join a respectable receiving corps that also includes wideouts Nico Collins and Tank Dell and tight end Dalton Schultz.

The San Francisco 49ers acquired kicker Zane Gonzalez from the Carolina Panthers, the 49ers announced on Friday. The Panthers will receive a couple of late-round picks in the 2025 NFL draft in exchange.

Gonzalez will replace the previous kicker, 41-year-old Robbie Gould. Set to become an unrestricted free agent this season, Gould’s price is said to have exceeded what the 49ers are willing to pay for the veteran. In 2022, Gould had a salary cap number of $5.5 million. With multiple other contract rises expected in the new season, the 49ers are unwilling to increase the salary that they pay for a kicker.

During his six-year career, the 27-year-old Gonzalez played for the Cleveland Browns, Arizona Cardinals and Panthers, scoring 91 of 113 (80.5%) of his field goal attempts and 127 of 134 (94.8%) on extra point tries.

While no confirmation has been made, the arrival of Gonzalez likely signals the end of Gould’s tenure with the Niners. Since arriving in San Francisco in 2017, Gould made 87.5% of his field goals and all 21 of his postseason field goals.

Wide receiver Nelson Agholor has agreed to a one-year deal with the Baltimore Ravens, making him the team’s first free agent signing during the current offseason. Agholor will sign a one-year, $3.25 million deal with the team which could reach up to $6.25 million with incentives.

For the Ravens, Agholor’s signature goes a long way to boosting what has been considered the NFL’s least-productive wide receiver group. The team was ranked last in 2019, 2020, and 2022 and will be looking to improve its wide receiver reputation. The team could also look to bolster its wide receiver ranks further by signing another player or picking one in the first round of the NFL Draft.

Agholor visited the Ravens’ facilities earlier this week. Upon arriving in Baltimore, the 30-year-old was reunited with new Ravens wide receiver coach Greg Lewis, who was his position coach with the Philadelphia Eagles in 2016.

Following his four seasons with the Eagles, Agholor played for the Las Vegas Raiders in 2020 before signing for the New England Patriots, whom he played for in the 2021 and 2022 seasons.

Free-agent safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson has agreed to a one-year deal with the Detroit Lions, sources revealed to ESPN on Sunday night. His deal is expected to be in the region of up to $8 million.

Before Gardner-Johnson was approached by the Lions, the Philadelphia Eagles reportedly offered him a multi-year deal at the beginning of free agency in an effort to keep him on the team. He is believed to have rejected the offer on the basis that he believed his market value to be higher.

Gardner-Johnson joined the Eagles in late August after playing for the New Orleans Saints for four seasons. Selected by the Saints in the fourth round of the 2019 draft, Gardner Johnson made 11 interceptions and 20 tackles while defending 36 passes during his time in New Orleans.

The 25-year-old also proved to be an effective player for the Eagles, despite abandoning his regular role as a cornerback to become the Eagles’ safety. He thrived in his new position, tieing for the most interceptions (6) during the NFL regular season despite missing five games with a lacerated kidney.

The Buffalo Bills acquired running back Nyheim Hines in a trade with the Indianapolis Colts on Tuesday. Running back Zack Moss and a conditional 2023 sixth-round pick were traded to the Colts in exchange.

Hines is expected to play a major role in strengthening the Bills’ offense which has already proven to be effective since the start of the new season. Buffalo currently leads the AFC with a 6-1 record.

Despite the team’s strong start to the season, the Bills are looking to add some more dynamic pass-catching to their game for some time, hence the decision to bring Hines to Buffalo. Hines now ranks fifth among running backs in receiving yards (1,725), with 25 receptions for 188 yards for a struggling Colts offense this season.

At 25 years old, this season is Hines’ fifth in a league, playing all four previous seasons with the Colts. The running back was picked in the fourth round of the 2018 NFL draft out of NC State.

Other moves completed by the Bills on Tuesday include trading their 2023 seventh-round pick to the Atlanta Falcons for safety Dean Marlowe as well as officially activating cornerback Tre’Davious White from the physically-unable-to-perform list.

Quarterback Nick Foles signed a contract with the Indianapolis Colts on Monday—a move that will once again see him work with coach Frank Reich. While the team refused to disclose the terms of the contract, sources revealed that Foles had signed a two-year deal with the team.

Foles previously worked under Reick in 2017, when Reich served as the offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles team that went on to win that season’s Super Bowl championship.

According to reports, the Eagles were eager to re-sign Foles before he concluded his deal with the Colts. After considering Foles, the Eagles opted to remain with their current quarterback lineup, particularly as talk of the potential departure of Gardner Minshew from the team was dismissed.

In a move corresponding to Foles’ arrival, the Colts decided to release quarterback James Morgan from his contract.

Set to play backup to starting quarterback James Morgan, Foles faces competition from 2021 sixth-round draft pick Sam Ehlinger and undrafted free agent Jack Coan.

Prior to signing with the Colts, Foles was recently made a free agent after being released by the Chicago Bears on May 1. This move was expected after the Bears signed free agent quarterback Trevor Siemian.

Running back Marlon Mack’s time with the Indianapolis Colts has reportedly come to an end. According to multiple reports, the Colts are shopping Mack around the league, and the player isn’t opposed to this scenario.

Mack didn’t find much playing time in 2021, managing only five carries for 16 yards through the first three weeks. Things aren’t expected to get better for the 25-year-old running back as the Colts season progresses, prompting a mutual agreement between the two sides to go their separate ways.

The Colts are currently committed to Jonathan Taylor as their leading runner after the 2020 second-rounder had an impressive rookie season that saw him rush for 1,169 yards and 11 touchdowns. Meanwhile, fourth-year player Nyheim Hines is firmly slotted at the No. 2 spot on the depth chart, especially since inking a three-year, $18.6 million contract extension earlier this month.

Marlon Mack was Indianapolis’ number one option back when entering the 2020 NFL season but suffered a torn Achilles in Week 1 of the 2020 season that sidelined him for the remainder of the season. Mack re-signed with the Colts in March and recovered in time to play this year but found a very different landscape upon his return.

In his four years as a Colt, Mack rushed for 2,383 yards and 20 TDs. He also has 55 catches for 440 yards and two receiving touchdowns.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have lost their patience with corner CJ Henderson, the ninth overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, sooner than anyone expected. The team announced on Monday that they have traded Henderson to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for veteran tight end Dan Arnold.

The deal reportedly also includes a pick swap. The Jags will receive a third-round selection and will send Carolina a fifth-rounder.

The Jaguars selected Henderson with the hopes of filling the void that was left by the exit of All-Pro corner Jalen Ramsey. The Florida product ended up playing eight games in his rookie season, managing 36 tackles with one interception, six passes defended, and one forced fumble. This, however, wasn’t enough for Jacksonville, as they reportedly already started shopping him in the offseason.

Henderson played two games in 2021 before missing Week 3 due to a groin injury. The injury isn’t expected to keep him sidelined for too long.

According to reports, the Panthers held Henderson in high regard ahead of the 2020 draft and jumped on the opportunity to add him one year later. Carolina was already on the lookout for a cornerback addition after rookie Jaycee Horn suffered a broken foot in Week 3 win over the Houston Texans. Horne could be out for the season, making Henderson’s addition even more important for the franchise.

The New England Patriots have traded running back Sony Michel to the Los Angeles Rams. The deal, confirmed on Wednesday, will net the Pats a couple of draft picks.

While the Patriots didn’t reveal the compensation, the reports say that the Rams are sending fifth-round and sixth-round conditional 2022 draft picks to New England in exchange for the 26-year-old running back. The two picks can turn into a fourth-rounder in case the team from Los Angeles gets a fourth-round compensation pick next year.

The Patriots’ chances of ending up with a better pick are significantly high, considering that the Rams are in line to get a fourth-round selection after losing safety John Johnson in this year’s free agency.

Sony Michel started 28 games for New England since being picked in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft by the Pats. Michel performed well in his first two years with the franchise but had a down year in 2020 after struggling with various injuries. This prompted the Patriots to decline the fifth-year option on his deal and start shopping him at the start of the offseason.

Another reason why New England didn’t mind parting ways with Michel was the team’s depth on the RB position. They entered the training camp with six running backs, including 2019’s third-round pick Damien Harris, who stepped in after Michel went down, veteran James White, and rookie Rhamondre Stevenson.

The Rams, on the other hand, were looking at ways to add running backs to their roster after last year’s standout performer Cam Akers tore his Achilles and was ruled out for the season. The team didn’t have much behind Akers, with 2019’s third-round pick Darrell Henderson Jr. being their only other viable option.

The New York Jets will have a new starting quarterback in the 2021 NFL season. The franchise officially confirmed on Tuesday that they traded signal-caller Sam Darnold, sending him to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for three draft picks.

The Jets will get a sixth-round selection in 2021 alongside a second-rounder and fourth-rounder in 2022, according to the announcement.

The move signals a full reset for the Jets as the franchise also hired a new coach earlier this offseason. Robert Saleh, the former defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers, took over the position from Adam Gase.

Speaking with reporters on Tuesday, Jets general manager Joe Douglas said that the decision to trade Darnold was influenced by several factors. The first was the team’s draft position, considering they have the No. 2 pick in 2021 and have the opportunity to select a new franchise QB from a strong draft class.

“I think it’s safe to say, if our pick were a little later, we wouldn’t be having this discussion right now,” said Douglas.

He also added that the organization would be “comfortable with moving forward” with Darnold in this case: “We feel really good about the draft class as a whole and the quarterback class, specifically.”

According to Douglas, another reason was the ability to get some financial relief. Darnold would cost $28.7 million over the next two years compared to the $35 million they would spend on a rookie QB.

The Jets are widely expected to go for BYU’s Zach Wilson. However, several other young quarterbacks might be in play as well, including Ohio State’s Justin Fields, Alabama’s Mac Jones, and North Dakota’s Trey Lance.

The Carolina Panthers, on the other hand, get a quarterback with a high ceiling to provide competition for 2020’s starter Teddy Bridgewater. Sam Darnold is just three years removed from being the No. 3 pick, and the organization believes he can live up to his potential if put in the right situation.

Darnold made 38 starts for the Jets, posting a 13-25 record. He completed 59.8 percent of his passes as a pro while throwing for 8,097 yards, 45 touchdowns, and 39 interceptions.

Quarterback Nick Foles signed a contract with the Indianapolis Colts on Monday—a move that will once again see him work with coach Frank Reich. While the team refused to disclose the terms of the contract, sources revealed that Foles had signed a two-year deal with the team.

Foles previously worked under Reick in 2017, when Reich served as the offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles team that went on to win that season’s Super Bowl championship.

According to reports, the Eagles were eager to re-sign Foles before he concluded his deal with the Colts. After considering Foles, the Eagles opted to remain with their current quarterback lineup, particularly as talk of the potential departure of Gardner Minshew from the team was dismissed.

In a move corresponding to Foles’ arrival, the Colts decided to release quarterback James Morgan from his contract.

Set to play backup to starting quarterback James Morgan, Foles faces competition from 2021 sixth-round draft pick Sam Ehlinger and undrafted free agent Jack Coan.

Prior to signing with the Colts, Foles was recently made a free agent after being released by the Chicago Bears on May 1. This move was expected after the Bears signed free agent quarterback Trevor Siemian.

Running back Marlon Mack’s time with the Indianapolis Colts has reportedly come to an end. According to multiple reports, the Colts are shopping Mack around the league, and the player isn’t opposed to this scenario.

Mack didn’t find much playing time in 2021, managing only five carries for 16 yards through the first three weeks. Things aren’t expected to get better for the 25-year-old running back as the Colts season progresses, prompting a mutual agreement between the two sides to go their separate ways.

The Colts are currently committed to Jonathan Taylor as their leading runner after the 2020 second-rounder had an impressive rookie season that saw him rush for 1,169 yards and 11 touchdowns. Meanwhile, fourth-year player Nyheim Hines is firmly slotted at the No. 2 spot on the depth chart, especially since inking a three-year, $18.6 million contract extension earlier this month.

Marlon Mack was Indianapolis’ number one option back when entering the 2020 NFL season but suffered a torn Achilles in Week 1 of the 2020 season that sidelined him for the remainder of the season. Mack re-signed with the Colts in March and recovered in time to play this year but found a very different landscape upon his return.

In his four years as a Colt, Mack rushed for 2,383 yards and 20 TDs. He also has 55 catches for 440 yards and two receiving touchdowns.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have lost their patience with corner CJ Henderson, the ninth overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, sooner than anyone expected. The team announced on Monday that they have traded Henderson to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for veteran tight end Dan Arnold.

The deal reportedly also includes a pick swap. The Jags will receive a third-round selection and will send Carolina a fifth-rounder.

The Jaguars selected Henderson with the hopes of filling the void that was left by the exit of All-Pro corner Jalen Ramsey. The Florida product ended up playing eight games in his rookie season, managing 36 tackles with one interception, six passes defended, and one forced fumble. This, however, wasn’t enough for Jacksonville, as they reportedly already started shopping him in the offseason.

Henderson played two games in 2021 before missing Week 3 due to a groin injury. The injury isn’t expected to keep him sidelined for too long.

According to reports, the Panthers held Henderson in high regard ahead of the 2020 draft and jumped on the opportunity to add him one year later. Carolina was already on the lookout for a cornerback addition after rookie Jaycee Horn suffered a broken foot in Week 3 win over the Houston Texans. Horne could be out for the season, making Henderson’s addition even more important for the franchise.

The New England Patriots have traded running back Sony Michel to the Los Angeles Rams. The deal, confirmed on Wednesday, will net the Pats a couple of draft picks.

While the Patriots didn’t reveal the compensation, the reports say that the Rams are sending fifth-round and sixth-round conditional 2022 draft picks to New England in exchange for the 26-year-old running back. The two picks can turn into a fourth-rounder in case the team from Los Angeles gets a fourth-round compensation pick next year.

The Patriots’ chances of ending up with a better pick are significantly high, considering that the Rams are in line to get a fourth-round selection after losing safety John Johnson in this year’s free agency.

Sony Michel started 28 games for New England since being picked in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft by the Pats. Michel performed well in his first two years with the franchise but had a down year in 2020 after struggling with various injuries. This prompted the Patriots to decline the fifth-year option on his deal and start shopping him at the start of the offseason.

Another reason why New England didn’t mind parting ways with Michel was the team’s depth on the RB position. They entered the training camp with six running backs, including 2019’s third-round pick Damien Harris, who stepped in after Michel went down, veteran James White, and rookie Rhamondre Stevenson.

The Rams, on the other hand, were looking at ways to add running backs to their roster after last year’s standout performer Cam Akers tore his Achilles and was ruled out for the season. The team didn’t have much behind Akers, with 2019’s third-round pick Darrell Henderson Jr. being their only other viable option.

The New York Jets will have a new starting quarterback in the 2021 NFL season. The franchise officially confirmed on Tuesday that they traded signal-caller Sam Darnold, sending him to the Carolina Panthers in exchange for three draft picks.

The Jets will get a sixth-round selection in 2021 alongside a second-rounder and fourth-rounder in 2022, according to the announcement.

The move signals a full reset for the Jets as the franchise also hired a new coach earlier this offseason. Robert Saleh, the former defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers, took over the position from Adam Gase.

Speaking with reporters on Tuesday, Jets general manager Joe Douglas said that the decision to trade Darnold was influenced by several factors. The first was the team’s draft position, considering they have the No. 2 pick in 2021 and have the opportunity to select a new franchise QB from a strong draft class.

“I think it’s safe to say, if our pick were a little later, we wouldn’t be having this discussion right now,” said Douglas.

He also added that the organization would be “comfortable with moving forward” with Darnold in this case: “We feel really good about the draft class as a whole and the quarterback class, specifically.”

According to Douglas, another reason was the ability to get some financial relief. Darnold would cost $28.7 million over the next two years compared to the $35 million they would spend on a rookie QB.

The Jets are widely expected to go for BYU’s Zach Wilson. However, several other young quarterbacks might be in play as well, including Ohio State’s Justin Fields, Alabama’s Mac Jones, and North Dakota’s Trey Lance.

The Carolina Panthers, on the other hand, get a quarterback with a high ceiling to provide competition for 2020’s starter Teddy Bridgewater. Sam Darnold is just three years removed from being the No. 3 pick, and the organization believes he can live up to his potential if put in the right situation.

Darnold made 38 starts for the Jets, posting a 13-25 record. He completed 59.8 percent of his passes as a pro while throwing for 8,097 yards, 45 touchdowns, and 39 interceptions.
