Vikings | Justin Jefferson asbent Mon Apr 15, 02:37 PM
Minnesota Vikings WR Justin Jefferson was not in attendance for the start of voluntary offseason workouts Monday, April 15.
| Footballguys view: It's not a surprise that Jefferson isn't on hand for the start of offseason workouts, which are voluntary. Of course, Jefferson is looking for a contract extension that is likely to set records for a receiver and perhaps any non-quarterback. It's likely his absence from offseason workouts is related to that. |

Cowboys | CeeDee Lamb absent Mon Apr 15, 11:40 AM
Dallas Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb isn't expected to report to voluntary offseason workouts Monday, April 15, as he seeks a new contract.
| Footballguys view: Lamb, who led the NFL with 135 receptions last season (along with 1,749 receiving yards and 12 touchdowns), is scheduled to earn just under $18 million in the final year of his rookie contract. His desire to be one of the highest-paid receivers in the league is understandable and skipping voluntary workouts to help get that point across is to be expected. Things will get interested if Lamb is willing to sit out mandatory sessions when they bein in June. It's a situation to monitor. |

Eagles | DeVonta Smith extended Mon Apr 15, 11:06 AM
Philadelphia Eagles WR DeVonta Smith received a three-year, $75 million extension Monday, April 15, that includes $51 million guaranteed.
| Footballguys view: Smith, who has proven himself as both a deep threat and a catch-and-run weapon, becomes the fifth receiver in the NFL with a contract averaging $25 million or more per season, joining Tyreek Hill of the Miami Dolphins ($30 million), Davante Adams of the Las Vegas Raiders ($28 million), Cooper Kupp of the Los Angeles Rams ($26.7 million) and Smith's teammate, A.J. Brown ($25 million). As ESPN.com notes, Smith and Brown became the first receiver tandem in Eagles history to each reach 1,000 yards receiving in 2022 and they repeated the feat last season. Teamed with quarterback Jalen Hurts, they've helped fuel an offense that ranks fifth in points per game (26.8) over the past two seasons and have developed a strong bond over that time. Smith is WR19 on the Footballguys 2024 Draft Rankings; this news solidifies that spot. |

Colts | DeForest Buckner extended Mon Apr 15, 09:23 AM
Indianapolis Colts DT DeForest Buckner signed a two-year, $46 million extension through the 2026 season Monday, April 15.
| Footballguys view: The move is the latest by Indianapolis to solidify one of its foundational players after numerous other re-signings earlier in the offseason. The Colts had already committed roughly $190 million in new money to extensions for a group of returning players that includes receiver Michael Pittman Jr., cornerback Kenny Moore II, nose tackle Grover Stewart, and linebacker Zaire Franklin. Since entering the league in 2016, Buckner has the fourth-most sacks as an interior defensive lineman, behind Aaron Donald (68.5), Jones (60.5) and Cameron Heyward (56.5) -- despite drawing consistent double-teams from opponents. er ESPN.com, he has the fourth-highest double-team rate as a defensive tackle since 2020 (65%). |

Link to story Ravens | Baltimore likely to pick a running back Sun Apr 14, 11:57 AM
Baltimore Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said there is a 'strong chance' that the team will select a running back in the 2024 NFL Draft. He believes a lot of backs will be chosen between the third and fifth rounds and said that the Ravens have looked at a lot of the players projected to be drafted during those rounds. RBs Derrick Henry, Justice Hill and Keaton Mitchell are currently the top three players on Baltimore's depth chart at the position.
| Footballguys view: Behind Henry, who is nearing the end of his career, the Ravens have some interesting/explosive talent in guys like Hill and Mitchell. However, they could use more talent and could add a potential future starter in the mid-rounds of the draft. We could see them drafting someone like Braelon Allen (Wisconsin) or Marshawn Lloyd (USC) in the third round to push Hill and Mitchell for playing time. |

Colts | Indy may have interest in Brock Bowers Sun Apr 14, 10:32 AM
The Indianapolis Colts are reportedly interested in Georgia TE Brock Bowers and could select him if he is still available with the No. 15 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft. If Bowers is off the board by then, the Colts would likely make drafting a cornerback a top priority.
| Footballguys view: The Colts have the no.15 overall pick, and by that time Bowers should be off the board. We could make the argument that he's the no.3 talent in this class regardless of position. Bowers is a weapon that can fly down the field and attack the vertical seam of a defense. The Colts have guys like Kylen Granson and Mo Alie-Cox, but Bowers would be a huge upgrade. |

Western Kentucky WR Malachi Corley is slated to visit the San Francisco 49ers and Seattle Seahawks next week.
| Footballguys view: Corley could be an option for teams in the second round of the 2024 NFL draft. He's a run-after-the-catch threat, and Corley knows how to make defenders look silly with the ball in his hands. We're expecting Corley to come off the board in the top 50 picks. |
