Chris Harris
DB FA
Tue 4/30/24 3:40 PM

Harris announced Tuesday that he is retiring from the NFL, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harris, 34, was out of the league last season after spending 2022 in New Orleans. He spent the first nine years of his career with the Broncos, earning four Pro Bowl nominations and one first-team All-Pro selection. Harris played in 172 career games, making 145 starts, and recorded 22 interceptions, seven forced fumbles, six sacks, four fumble recoveries and four touchdowns.

Brian Allen
CLE (5)
Tue 4/30/24 3:36 PM

The Browns signed Allen on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Allen spent the first six seasons of his career with the Rams but was released in a cap move earlier this offseason. He has 50 games -- 32 starts -- of experience and gives Cleveland some valuable depth on the interior of its offensive line. He should compete with 2022 seventh-rounder Dawson Deaton for top backup duties behind starting center Ethan Pocic.

Greg Newsome
CB CLE (5)
Tue 4/30/24 3:31 PM

The Browns exercised Newsome's 2025 fifth-year option, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft, Newsome had a breakout season under Browns DC Jim Schwartz in 2023. He started 13 of the 14 games he appeared in, picking off the first two passes of his career while breaking up 14 passes in coverage. Newsome also registered a career-best 49 tackles (34 solo) and returned one of his interceptions for a touchdown.

QJ.K. Dobbins
RB LAC (5)
Tue 4/30/24 3:25 PM

Dobbins (Achilles) said he feels 100 percent healthy heading into the offseason program, Daniel Popper of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
"I've had these injuries, and it's been a storm," Dobbins said. "But I think the storm is over with, and I think I'm going to take off now. There's going to be no setbacks, and the 'injury prone' thing will be gone out of the window." Since being drafted in the second round by the Ravens in 2020, Dobbins has missed a whopping 43 games to various significant injuries, including a torn ACL, torn LCL, severe hamstring strain and a torn Achilles tendon. To say the injury-prone label is behind him might be wishful thinking, as his body has yet to cooperate with him to this point. The 25-year-old Dobbins joined Gus Edwards in following offensive coordinator Greg Roman from Baltimore to the Chargers, so he will at least be in a familiar scheme.

Joey Slye
K FA
Tue 4/30/24 10:17 AM

The Jaguars released Slye on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Slye inked with Jacksonville as a free agent back in March, but he's now lost his spot on the roster to rookie sixth-round pick Cam Little. Meanwhile, Riley Patterson remains with the Jaguars as potential offseason competition for Little. Slye converted 19 of 24 field-goal tries and 32 of 35 extra-point attempts across 17 games with Washington last season.

Zay Jones
WR FA
Tue 4/30/24 10:14 AM

The Jaguars released Jones on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old's release comes shortly after Jacksonville's selection of Brian Thomas in the first round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Jones played only nine games last season due to a PCL injury, and while he seems to be healthy now, his release saves the Jaguars $4.2 million in cap space. In addition to Thomas, Christian Kirk and Gabe Davis will make up the top three wideouts for Trevor Lawrence, while Jones will work to find a landing spot elsewhere.

Ricky Pearsall
WR SF (9)
Tue 4/30/24 8:53 AM

Pearsall may not see the field often as a rookie after being drafted by the 49ers, who have three starting wideouts returning for 2024, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
San Francisco's selection of Pearsall at the tail end of the first round of the 2024 Draft came as a bit of a surprise, both in terms of draft slot and roster needs, as Pearsall was mostly projected as a Day 2 pick rather than Day 1. Perhaps the front office drafted the Florida product with an eye on next offseason, at which point Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings are expected to hit free agency and Deebo Samuel will be entering the final year of his contract. Pearsall is an explosive talent with a good chance to put up fantasy-worthy numbers at some point during his career; it just may not happen right off the bat in a loaded 49ers offense.

Michael Gallup
WR LV (13)
Mon 4/29/24 7:30 PM

Gallup agreed to terms on a one-year, $3 million contract with the Raiders on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
After a six-year stint in Dallas to start his career, Gallup will get a fresh start in Las Vegas. His second year with the Cowboys generated plenty of optimism, as he tallied 1,107 yards receiving to go along with six touchdowns. However, he has failed to replicate those types of numbers since. With Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers locked in as the Raiders' top pass catchers, Gallup will compete with the likes of Tre Tucker and DJ Turner, among others, for the No. 3 pass-catching role.

Curtis Samuel
WR BUF (13)
Mon 4/29/24 7:12 PM

Samuel has a new teammate in the receiving room after the Bills took Keon Coleman out of Florida State with the first pick of the second round Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Samuel, signed as a free agent in March, was never going to be a No. 1 or even a No. 2 in Buffalo, but now we at least know who's been brought in ahead of him on the depth chart. It's a mild surprise the Bills chose only one receiver with their 10 draft picks, so for now the versatile Samuel likely sits No. 3 in the pecking order behind Khalil Shakir and Coleman. That said, this is a perfect offense for Samuel's skill set, and he'll be a weapon of some sort once things get going, just not the primary receiving option.

Justin Herron
NO (11)
Mon 4/29/24 6:08 PM

The Saints signed Herron on Monday, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
EDGE Analysis
New Orleans will be Herron's third NFL team over four seasons. He now is in line to compete for a roster spot along a Saints offensive line that is retooling after a disappointing season last year.
