Eli Apple - DB

Carolina Panthers

Panthers signed CB Eli Apple to a one-year, $3 million contract.

Added May 28 7:36 pm (EST)

It's been 56 days since Apple's Raiders deal fell apart, and 71 days since he first agreed to terms with Las Vegas. Apple's public interest had been dead silent since the Raiders backed out of their agreement, but it is impossible to know what goes on behind the scenes of the coronavirus-affected market. Even though former first-rounder Apple has mostly been replacement-level to this point in his career, it's a nice addition for the Panthers' undermanned and unproven cornerback group. Apple is still three months shy of his 25th birthday despite entering the league in 2016. He could be a 1,000-snap player in Charlotte.

D. Ford - DL

49ers OLB Dee Ford underwent "relatively minor" knee surgery this offseason.

Ford has been moving around for about one month now and is doing better this offseason compared to the 2019 offseason when he opted for injections rather than surgery, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Ford is expected to be ready for the upcoming season and should be better than he was a season ago when he had 6.5 sacks across 11 regular season games.

R. Streater - WR

CLE

Former Browns WR Rod Streater was announced as the team's Scouting Assistant.

His hiring was mentioned in a long list of promotions that includes ex-Colts GM Ryan Grigson taking on the role of the team's Senior Football Advisor, former Eagles exec Andrew Healy as Cleveland's VP of Research & Strategy, and former 49ers Researcher Kwesi Adofo-Mensah as the organization's VP of Football Operations. All in all, Browns first-year GM Andrew Berry announced 27 additions, promotions, and/or title changes on staff.

Z. Fulton - OG

HOU

Texans restructured RG Zach Fulton's contract.

Initially due $14 million with no guaranteed money over the next two seasons, Houston and Fulton simply agreed to rework his deal to include $5 million (all guaranteed) in 2020 and another $3 million in non-guaranteed cash in 2021. He, along with LT Laremy Tunsil, LG Max Scharping, C Nick Martin, and RT Tytus Howard, are considered key pieces of the Texans' O-line if only because all five are set to return and ensure continuity in front of Deshaun Watson despite the team's (and league's) tumultuous offseason. Fulton turns 29 in September.

M. Judon - LB

BAL

NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports Ravens LB Matt Judon's franchise tender is worth $16.8 million.

It's a rare compromise between player and organization as Judon, who played both outside linebacker and as an EDGE defender at times last year, ultimately agreed to a tender that fell in between the going rates for LBs and DEs. Going on 28, Judon is fresh off an admirable campaign that resulted in 54 tackles and career-highs in sacks (9.5) and forced fumbles (4). The Ravens are still expected to let Judon walk next year after the team dangled him as trade bait during the draft.

C. Jones - DL

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports there hasn't been "much traction" on a long-term agreement between the Chiefs and unsigned franchise player Chris Jones.

Fowler does report that Jones has "kept in touch with the Chiefs as they hold virtual meetings." Absent a long-term agreement before the July 15 deadline, Jones will probably skip the majority of training camp.

M. Judon - LB

BAL

Ravens re-signed LB Matt Judon to a one-year, $16.27 million contract.

Judon was labeled as a tag-and-trade possibility, but the draft came and went with nary a peep about Judon moving. Perhaps the Ravens would rather just go all in on 2020. The sides still have well over a month to come to a long-term agreement. Judon is no one's idea of a truly elite pass rusher, but he has 24.5 sacks over the past three seasons. Seeing as Judon is already going on 28, it wouldn't be shocking were the Ravens to let Judon walk after playing out his one-year tender.
