At the start of this offseason, the New York Giants found themselves with only one active quarterback on their roster – undrafted Tommy DeVito from Syracuse. Last week saw this drastically alter, as Giants made notable strides on free agency market by signing veteran Jameis Winston to two year contract worth $8 Million before also inking deal with Russell Wilson for one year at $10.5 Million guaranteed contract.

Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston Join the New York Giants

In an unexpected turn of events late Tuesday, NFL insiders revealed that Russell Wilson, formerly of the Steelers, agreed to a one-year contract with the Giants. This signing came shortly after Jameis Winston also committed to the team, marking a significant bolster to the quarterback position, which has seen variabilities during Brian Daboll’s coaching tenure. With both Winston and Wilson onboard for the 2025 season, the Giants signal a clear intent to rejuvenate their quarterback room significantly.

General Manager Joe Schoen and Head Coach Brian Daboll face increased pressure after finishing last season with an uninspiring 3-14 record, holding onto the third overall pick in 2025 NFL draft and holding onto it until last minute to select Wilson as starting quarterback next season – however this plan may change given his performance during 2024 with Steelers; 6 wins out of 11 starts recorded 2482 passing yards 16 touchdowns 5 interceptions totalling 2482 passing yards and five interception.

Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston serve as short-term solutions to the Giants’ quarterback needs until 2025, creating an intriguing dynamic regarding their use of high draft pick. Wilson and Winston present challenges to any rookie QB selected early, which makes this decision all the more intriguing as offseason development occurs. Exactly how the Giants handle this situation remains an intriguing topic of study throughout 2019.

After their Super Bowl loss against the Eagles, Kansas City Chiefs are taking strategic moves following Carson Wentz’s free agency in 2025. Gardner Minshew has since confirmed a one-year contract. Minshew previously played with Las Vegas Raiders – where initially signed two year, $25 million contract before leaving after just one season; before joining Kansas City. Now joining Minshew will make this team number seven!

A Strategic Addition for the Chiefs

The official announcement about Minshew’s signing was shared, highlighting the Chiefs’ move to secure a backup quarterback for Patrick Mahomes for the upcoming season. Despite the one-year term of the deal, Minshew brings with him guaranteed money from his previous contract with the Raiders.

Minshew began his NFL journey when the Jacksonville Jaguars selected him in the 6th round of 2019 draft out of Washington State and selected him in the 6th round. Over his two professional seasons with Jacksonville, he started in 20 out of 23 games; later joining Philadelphia Eagles for two seasons and later Indianapolis Colts and Las Vegas Raiders before finally earning him another opportunity with Kansas City Chiefs as backup to Patrick Mahomes in 2024 despite injury challenges such as broken collarbone.

Minshew has played in 59 NFL games over his nine year NFL career and started 46 of those contests, making his experience and adaptability invaluable assets to the Chiefs as they look to strengthen their quarterback lineup for 2025 season.

The Cincinnati Bengals finished their 2024 campaign with a 9-8 mark and missed playoff contention once more, forcing an offseason decision-making process on player contracts like Tee Higgins’ contract – in keeping with last season, they used franchise tag designation to secure Tee for two straight years and still retain negotiations until July 15.

Prospects of a Long-Term Agreement with Tee Higgins

The 2024 season represented Tee Higgins’ fifth year as part of the Bengals, during which he has accumulated significant playing time across 70 games with 62 starts, despite battling injuries. His performance in 2024 was notable, with Higgins participating in 12 games, starting nine, and achieving 73 catches for 911 yards and a career-best 10 touchdowns. His average of 75.9 yards per game was his second-highest to date.

Higgins earned himself his second franchise tag since 2024’s $21.8 Million tag was put in effect; this one will set at $26.2 Million. The Bengals have announced their intention of continuing negotiations for an extended contract agreement by July 15 – which Higgins has done repeatedly throughout his time at Cincinnati. His presence and skill on the field make Higgins invaluable asset.

Ja’Marr Chase and Higgins are widely considered among the elite wide receiver tandems in the league, so their Bengals decision to franchise-tag Higgins again may have been heavily influenced by Chase’s incredible 2024 season, in which he led in receptions, receiving yards, and touchdown receptions to earn himself the Triple Crown award. An impending substantial extension for Chase may encourage Higgins’ retention following that deal and underscore quarterback Joe Burrow’s goal to retain both key receivers for 2025 season playback.

Following their disappointing 2024 campaign, the New York Jets appear set to part ways with wide receiver Davante Adams unless an acceptable trade partner comes forward. This move marks an overhaul after Aaron Rodgers finished with only 5 wins at quarterback during his inaugural full year of lead duties on their side of the ball.

Future Uncertain for Davante Adams in 2025

The mid-season acquisition of Adams from Las Vegas was a bid to rejuvenate the Jets’ flagging fortunes. Despite hopes pinned on this strategic move, Adams’ tenure with New York seems poised for an abrupt end. This development follows reports that the franchise is eyeing to offload Adams due to his hefty $38.2 million salary cap hit in 2025, making their intention to release him if a suitable trade doesn’t materialize.

Adams, at 32, brought experience and skill to the Jets, with his 2024 performance yielding 67 catches from 114 targets, totaling 854 yards and seven touchdowns across 11 games. Despite these contributions, his catch rate of 45.6 percent highlighted issues with efficiency during his stint with the team. The Jets’ decision also comes in the wake of the announcement that Aaron Rodgers will not be returning, further signaling a potential shift in the team’s strategic direction.

Adams’ Next Destination: Speculations Arise

As Adams and Rodgers consider their options for 2025, speculation continues regarding their next moves. With Matthew Stafford having decided on remaining with Los Angeles Rams, there has been talk that Rodgers may switch teams within New York but remain playing quarterback for Giants instead of Jets; should such an offer come through Adams may follow as longtime QB of Giants quarterback. This scenario raises intriguing possibilities including Adams potentially joining an offer made to longtime QB by Giants instead of Packers quarterback.

Adams may face high stakes as his salary cap figure remains in play, yet his track record speaks volumes of how valuable he remains on the field. With two players likely making decisions that impact both league dynamics and leading into 2025 season based on these decisions.

Starting Thursday, February 27, the NFL Scouting Combine of 2025 offers 329 of the nation’s leading prospects an opportunity to leave an impressionful impression at one of football’s premier showcase events. As part of these participants, several lesser known talents may stand out and make themselves known this week; let’s highlight four players whose performances could radically boost their draft chances.

Emerging Talents at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine

Dylan Sampson, Tennessee (RB)

Dylan Sampson concluded his senior year with the Tennessee Volunteers on a high note, leading the SEC with 1,491 rushing yards and 22 touchdowns over 13 games. The 2024 SEC Player of the Year stands at five-foot-eleven and weighs 200 pounds, bringing remarkable speed to the field that might just make him the fastest running back in the 40-yard dash at the combine. At just 20 years old, Sampson’s mix of speed and skill sets him up as a promising candidate for an RB1 spot in the NFL.

Jordan Burch, Oregon (DL)

Starting his college football journey with the South Carolina Gamecocks, Jordan Burch transferred to Oregon after the 2022 season. The 23-year-old defensive lineman has been with the Ducks for two seasons, posting his best year in 2024 with 8.5 sacks, 11 tackles for loss, and six passes defended. Standing six-foot-six and weighing in at 290 pounds, Burch has honed his body composition to thrive in the NFL, showcasing an explosive blend of size and speed.

Bhayshul Tuten, Virginia Tech (RB)

Bhayshul Tuten of Virginia Tech stands out among a highly competitive running back class in the 2025 draft by sneaking under the radar. After transferring from North Carolina A&T prior to 2023 season, Tuten amassed 1,159 yards and 15 touchdowns during his senior year rushing at over 23 mph with 4.32 in 40-yard dash times; an exhibit which could launch him up the draft boards. At Virginia Tech’s draft combine this March, Bhayshul may find his place among their roster.

Savion Williams, TCU (WR)

At TCU, Savion Williams made incremental strides toward realizing his full potential. From quarterback in high school to wide receiver during college and back again again afterwards, Williams has yet to realize all his abilities as an NFL receiver despite possessing six-foot-5 and 225 pound frame combined with 22.5 miles per hour field speed; during his senior season alone he recorded 60 receptions for 611 yards and six touchdowns, marking one of TCU’s top prospects among wide receivers for future draft selection.
