    TEN - WR Dez Bryant unlikely an option for TEN

    Free-agent WR Dez Bryant (Cowboys) does not appear to be a target for the Tennessee Titans, in the opinion of TitansOnline.com's Jim Wyatt.

    The Titans have Corey Davis and Taywan Taylor on the rise, and may not want to slow down their growth on the field to add Bryant's questionable value at this point in his career - especially in new offensive coordinator Matt LaFleur's system.


    NYJ - RB Thomas Rawls' roster status in question

    New York Jets RB Thomas Rawls is not a lock to make the final roster, according to Darryl Slater of NJ.com.

    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

    The Jets have a trio of backs they like in free agent pickup Isaiah Crowell, Bilal Powell, and Elijah McGuire, and they also drafted Trenton Cannon in the sixth round. Cannon can return kicks and that means Rawls will have to show he can recapture his rookie form to win a roster spot. He has no guaranteed money on his one year, 705,000 dollar contract.


    KC - Patrick Mahomes gaining support

    Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is a 'complete player,' according to free-agent LB Tamba Hali (Chiefs). 'He can throw the ball,' Hali said. 'Athletically, he's gifted. You don't have to coach it. In practice, I'd watch him just look guys off.'

    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

    The Chiefs offense lost Alex Smith, but it's possible that Mahomes actually increases the deep ball production despite Smith breaking through as a downfield passer last year. Mahomes has more upside than his current ranking indicates, and he could increase the productivity of the entire Chiefs offense, although he comes with the risk of inexperience.


    NYJ - WR Devin Smith, WR Charone Peake on the bubble

    New York Jets WRs Devin Smith and Charone Peake appear to be facing long odds to make the final roster, according to Darryl Slater of NJ.com.

    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

    The Jets spent draft picks on both, but Smith suffered multiple serious knee injuries and Peake hasn't distinguished himself. The roster is crowded with receivers and both have an uphill battle to make it.


    BAL - Tim White frontrunner for return job

    Baltimore Ravens WR Tim White remains the lead candidate to be the starting kick and punt returner in 2018, according to special teams coordinator Jerry Rosburg.

    [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ]

    White was building buzz last summer before hurting his hand and could force the Ravens to carry seven receivers if he repeats his performance this year. He's one to track in return yardage leagues.
