Titans | Monty Rice signs rookie deal Sat Jul 24, 01:36 PM
Tennessee Titans LB Monty Rice on Saturday, July 24, signed his four-year rookie contract, the team announced. Terms of the deal were undisclosed.
| Footballguys view: Rice has a chance to replace Rashaan Evans next year after the team declines to pick up Evans fifth-year option. The rookie is better on early downs with a nose for the football against the run, but might need work to improve his coverage game. |

Browns | Anthony Schwartz signed Sat Jul 24, 11:39 AM
Cleveland Browns third-round draft choice WR Anthony Schwartz signed a four-year contract with the team Saturday, July 24. The deal is worth approximately $4.863 million, including a signing bonus of $896,742.
| Footballguys view: Schwartz has legit deep speed, but isn’t the most consistent receiver. He could move into a large role later in his rookie contract if the Browns move on from Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry. |

Browns | Greg Newsome signed Sat Jul 24, 11:20 AM
Cleveland Browns first-round draft choice CB Greg Newsome signed a four-year contract with the team Saturday, July 24, according to agents Drew Rosenhaus and Ryan Matha. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Newsome is part of a newlook secondary that is three deep at safety and cornerback, promising to firm up the weakest part of the Browns defense in recent years. He can play both inside and outside, giving the Browns flexibility in their personnel sets and injury depth. |

Steelers | Dwayne Haskins busy at practice Fri Jul 23, 09:38 PM
Pittsburgh Steelers QB Dwayne Haskins saw a lot of reps in practice Friday, July 23, and is expected to see a lot of work in the Hall of Fame Game, according to head coach Mike Tomlin.
| Footballguys view: Haskins could unseat Mason Rudolph as the backup quarterback and potential 2022 starter with a good camp and preseason. He had garnered some praise with his play this spring and could surprise with a fresh start. |

Minnesota Vikings DT Jaylen Twyman (undisclosed) will report to training camp Sunday, July 25, and is hoping to play this season after being shot four times on June 21.
| Footballguys view: Twyman has already etched himself into NFL lore just being able to report to training camp after being shot four times one month ago. He may start camp on the NFI list, but isn’t expected to have any long term effects from his injuries. |
Seahawks | Seattle adds Cameron Scarlett Fri Jul 23, 09:02 PM
Free-agent RB Cameron Scarlett (Titans) signed with the Seattle Seahawks Friday, July 23.
| Footballguys view: Scarlett wasn’t able to stick with the Titans as a UDFA last year. The Seahawks signed him to fill the roster spot opened by the release of Tamorrion Terry after his legal trouble was discovered in June. The Seahawks don’t have an entrenched backup running back behind Chris Carson. Rashaad Penny had another knee surgery this offseason and Alex Collins stood out in his absence this spring. |

Dolphins | Jevon Holland under contract Fri Jul 23, 07:34 PM
Miami Dolphins second-round draft choice S Jevon Holland signed a four-year contract with the Dolphins Friday, July 23. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Holland should get playing time right away in a Dolphins secondary that is set at corner (assuming the situation with Xavien Howard’s contract gets worked out), but needs steady play at safety. He can line up at multiple positions in the secondary and could start as a rookie. |
Packers | Two players to miss start of camp Fri Jul 23, 06:42 PM
Green Bay Packers TE Josiah Deguara (undisclosed) was placed on the Active/Physically Unable to Perform list Friday, July 23. The team also placed LB Isaiah McDuffie (undisclosed) on the Active/Non-Football Injury list.
| Footballguys view: Deguara was a surprise third round pick last year, but that choice was obviously overshadowed by their first and second round picks. Robert Tonyan has the tight end position locked up now, so Deguara is in a playing time battle with 2019 third-round pick Jace Sternberger, who will miss the first two weeks of the season because of a suspension. |

Chargers | Josh Palmer signs rookie contract Fri Jul 23, 06:34 PM
Los Angeles Chargers third-round draft choice WR Josh Palmer signed a four-year contract with the Chargers Friday, July 23. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Palmer is a big receiver who can win on contested balls, much like Mike Williams. Williams is set to be a free agent next year, so if he and Chargers part ways, Palmer will be set to be a starter outside with Justin Herbert throwing him the ball in 2022. |

Lions | Ifeatu Melifonwu signs contract Fri Jul 23, 06:27 PM
Detroit Lions third-round draft choice CB Ifeatu Melifonwu signed a four-year contract with the Lions Friday, July 23. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Melifonwu has a chance to win a starting job with the Lions installing a new defense under first-time defensive coordinator Aaron Glenn. He projects as a press-man corner with top end traits, but instincts that are still a work in progress. He could be moved to safety if he fails at corner. |
NFL | Two interested in Dede Westbrook Fri Jul 23, 06:01 PM
Free-agent WR Dede Westbrook (Jaguars) said he is receiving interest from the San Francisco 49ers and Cincinnati Bengals in addition to the Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks.
| Footballguys view: The 49ers are counting on Jalen Hurd to stay healthy and fill their opening in the slot, but if he can’t, Westbrook would help replace Kendrick Bourne and give the team some experienced depth. Westbrook wouldn’t be higher than the #5 receiver on the Bengals depth chart, but as a team that relies on three-wide sets as their base offense, more depth is never a bad thing. |

Seahawks | Dede Westbrook to visit Fri Jul 23, 05:58 PM
Free-agent WR Dede Westbrook (Jaguars) is scheduled to meet with the Seattle Seahawks Sunday, July 23, according to a source.
| Footballguys view: Westbrook is visiting the Vikings first and they have a huge opening at #3 receiver, but Westbrook could also have a chance to be the #3 receiver in Seattle if second-round pick DWayne Eskridge isn’t ready to contribute because of a toe injury that sidelined him this spring. |

Cowboys | Dallas expected to add Malik Hooker Fri Jul 23, 05:12 PM
Free-agent S Malik Hooker (Colts) is meeting with the Dallas Cowboys Friday, July 23, and is expected to sign with the Cowboys if he passes his physical, according a source.
| Footballguys view: Hooker and the Cowboys are good fits for each other. He can play the “Earl Thomas” role in the Dan Quinn-coached as the last line of defense. Hooker was the 15th pick of the 2017 draft, but hasn’t been able to stay healthy and establish his value. |

Jaguars | CJ Henderson starting camp on COVID list Fri Jul 23, 04:22 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars CB CJ Henderson was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, July 23.
| Footballguys view: Henderson’s job isn’t 100% secure with second-round Tyson Campbell arriving and a new regime in the front office and coaching staff. It’s unclear whether he has contracted covid or is unvaccinated and has a close contact who has tested positive for covid, as the league can not comment on that. |

Tampa Bay Buccaneers S Jordan Whitehead was placed on the Reserve/COVID-19 list Friday, July 23.
| Footballguys view: Whitehead was already coming back from February labrum surgery, so it wasn’t certain he would be ready for the open of camp. The league can’t comment on whether Whitehead has covid or is just unvaccinated and was a close contact with a covid positive individual. He also missed the White House visit earlier this week. |

Raiders | Divine Deablo agrees to terms Fri Jul 23, 04:00 PM
Las Vegas Raiders third-round draft choice S Divine Deablo agreed to terms on a four-year contract with the Raiders Friday, July 23. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Deablo is safety that the Raiders may try to turn into a weakside linebacker the same way they did with Clemson’s Tanner Muse last year. Deablo has some deep sleeper value in IDP leagues and could end up being a long-term starter. |
