S. Watkins - WR

Sammy Watkins (calf) is questionable for the Conference Championship game against the Bills.

Watkins is expected to play given that he participated in every practice throughout the week. Although he failed to eclipse 65 receiving yards in any game following his two-touchdown performance in Week 1, Watkins was leaned on as the preferred option in last year's Super Bowl run for 14/288/1 over Mecole Hardman and Demarcus Robinson. It could be all for naught if the Bills invite the Chiefs to run the ball with another heavy dose of two-high safeties, but this news at least ensures Watkins is active as the team's No. 2 wide receiver on Sunday.

C. Daniel - QB

DET

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Lions "have had trade discussions with other teams regarding their backup QB Chase Daniel."

Daniel has been in the NFL for a decade and has earned a total of five starts. He has thrown eight touchdowns and seven interceptions on his 261 career pass attempts. Despite his lack of starting talent, Schefter added that "Daniel has been considered an ideal mentor for young QBs." It's hard to remember a time that a team traded for a quarterback because of their teaching abilities but it likely won't require much to purchase Detroit's backup passer. Daniel learned how to mentor young quarterbacks while serving as Drew Brees' backup for four years across two stints with New Orleans, according to Schefter. He most recently started for the Bears in 2019, throwing two scores and two interceptions in a losing effort to Oakland.

Z. Ertz - TE

PHI

NFL Network's Mike Silver reports "multiple teams have called the Eagles about the possibility of trading for" TE Zach Ertz.

Ertz is coming off his worst NFL season but he had gone to three consecutive Pro Bowls before his disastrous 2020 campaign. His counting stats took a dip in part because of his brief stay on IR but his efficiency numbers also contributed to the downturn. Ertz averaged 4.7 yards per target and only caught half of the passes thrown his way. Both marks were lows across his eight-year career. Contending teams could look to poach Ertz from the Eagles in the hopes that he reclaims some of his previous skill but they'll also likely need to give him a new contract. Ertz was pushing for a new deal from the Eagles prior to the 2020 season but both parties were unable to come to an agreement. Seattle and Indianapolis were previously reported to be interested in Ertz and both landing spots make sense for the veteran tight end.

R. Fitzpatrick - QB

MIA

ESPN Denver's John Clayton reports Ryan Fitzpatrick "looks like he's going to retire."

Fitzpatrick said last month he still believes he can be a starting quarterback. After spot starting with three teams the last five seasons, his playing future now looks up in the air. The Broncos are among the teams that reached out to Fitzpatrick, but they believe he's "going to be out of the mix." Fitzpatrick averaged 232 yards per game and had the highest completion-percentage (68.5%) of his career before getting benched for Tua Tagovailoa in Week 6. He turns 39 in November.

D. Perryman - LB

LAC

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Chargers LB Denzel Perryman "plans to test the free agent market."

Perryman had a reduced role last year, playing 31% of defensive snaps while making six starts. With a new coaching staff and the Chargers expected to be more multiple, it makes sense for both sides to move on. 28-year-old Perryman has never stayed healthy for a full season, missing 27 games since getting drafted in 2015. Teams are unlikely to view Perryman as more than a two-down run stopper.

M. Nzeocha - LB

49ers declined LB Mark Nzeocha's 2021 option.

It makes Nzeocha a free agent. Nzeocha appeared in five games, playing 94 of his 97 total snaps on special teams. The move saves $1.5 million in cap space for the 49ers.

P. Gustin - DL

CLE

Browns tendered exclusive rights free agent LB Porter Gustin.

Gustin made 14 appearances (three starts) for Cleveland last year, posting 30 tackles and two TFLs while playing 30 percent of defensive snaps. The Browns also tendered exclusive rights free agent TE Stephen Carlson.

O. Beckham - WR

CLE

The Akron Beacon Journal reports Odell Beckham (knee) is "right on track" in his recovery.

The Browns haven't put a timetable on Beckham's return, but he's been setback-free in his rehab. He'll be nine months removed from surgery at the start of training camp. Coach Kevin Stefanski said the Browns are "in a good spot" to keep both Beckham and Jarvis Landry. Beckham will count $15.8 million against the cap if Cleveland doesn't trade him this offseason.

T. Brady - QB

Josina Anderson reports the Buccaneers are "getting close" to finalizing a reworked contract for Tom Brady.

Tampa Bay is projected to have roughly $19 million in cap space with a number of key players — Chris Godwin, Shaq Barrett, Ndamukong Suh, Antonio Brown — scheduled to hit the open market. Any restructured/extended contract would simply allow the team to spread Brady's earnings across multiple years, making it easier to retain impending free agents for another Championship run. Brady, 43, has already said he'd "consider" playing beyond 45 years old and will undoubtedly walk away whenever he deems fit (and not a day earlier).

Bills re-signed LB Andre Smith to a two-year, $3 million contract.

Smith was a restricted free agent. The new deal keeps the special teamer signed through 2022.

K. Rudolph - TE

NESN's Doug Kyed reports free agent Kyle Rudolph is interested in signing with the Patriots.

The Patriots were involved in trade talks for Rudolph before he signed an extension with the Vikings in 2019. They could be a potential landing spot, though Rudolph isn't much of an upgrade on Ryan Izzo, and his presence would likely block one of Dalton Keene or Devin Asiasi after New England invested a pair of third-round picks in them last offseason. Rudolph has also expressed interest in signing with the Browns.

V. Miller - LB

DEN

Broncos LB Von Miller had criminal charges against him dropped.

The district attorney's office declined to file charges "based on review of information that is currently available." Miller was involved in an alleged domestic violence case in January by his ex-fiancee. With his legal troubles resolved, the Broncos will now have to decide what to do with Miller's $22 million cap hit, though the NFL may launch its own investigation into Miller's case. Broncos GM George Paton has said the team wants Miller back for the 2021 season.

N. Morrow - LB

The Athletic's Vic Tafur reports the Raiders are "in talks" about a new contract with impending free agent LB Nicholas Morrow.

Morrow had a breakout 2020, starting 11 games while leading the Raiders in solo tackles (62) and finishing second in sacks (3) and TFLs (8). The expectation has been that he'll test free agency, but the Raiders are making a push to bring him back. A three-down linebacker that can play multiple spots, 25-year-old Morrow will have a strong market if the Raiders let him walk.
