San Francisco 49ers WR Jalen Hurd (back) and CB Jason Verrett (knee) were placed on the Reserve/Injured list Thursday, Oct. 3. CB Dontae Johnson was also signed an undisclosed contract.
| Footballguys view: Verrett is a starting quality corner but can't stay healthy. The team had high hopes for Hurd in a multi-faceted role but for now it is not to be. Richie James roster spot is more secure with the news today. |

Chiefs | John Phillips finds home in Kansas City Mon May 20, 04:45 PM
Free-agent TE John Phillips (Cardinals) signed an undisclosed contract with the Kansas City Chiefs on Monday, May 20, according to a source. DB Dontae Johnson was released to make room for him on the roster.
| Footballguys view: Phillips is a seasoned veteran who has been around the block. A sixth-round pick out of Virginia in the 2009 NFL draft, this will be the sixth team Phillips has been a part of. He's a big-bodied blocker with a single season career high of 15 catches back in 2011 when he was with the Cowboys. Phillips will block for the Chiefs and is not a fantasy factor whatsoever. |

Chiefs | Kansas City signs four players Fri Feb 22, 06:23 PM
Free-agent QB EJ Manuel (Raiders), WR Sammie Coates (Texans), WR Davon Grayson (Chiefs) and CB Dontae Johnson (Cardinals) signed with the Kansas City Chiefs Friday, Feb. 22. Terms of the contracts were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Any target for Patrick Mahomes will get our attention in dynasty formats. Coates has been a bust during his pro career but we know the physical talent (strength, speed) is there. Grayson was undrafted out of East Carolina last year but he's got the speed and athleticism to get open outside. Super deep dynasty GMs should be following along with these two just in case. |

Bills | One-year deal for Terrelle Pryor Tue Oct 30, 05:45 PM
Updating a previous report, Buffalo Bills WR Terrelle Pryor signed a one-year deal Tuesday, Oct. 30. CB Dontae Johnson was released in a corresponding move.
| Footballguys view: Pryor is an upgrade for one of the league's worst WR groups. He'll compete with Zay Jones and Andre Holmes for snaps/targets behind Kelvin Benjamin. There's not a ton of fantasy value in Buffalo's passing game. |

San Francisco 49ers impending free-agent CB Dontae Johnson is not expected to be retained this offseason. CBs Ahkello Witherspoon and Greg Mabin are currently the only cornerbacks signed for next season.
| Footballguys view: Clearly the 49ers are going to have work to do in their secondary. Even after signing QB Jimmy Garoppolo to a $137.5 million contract, they have enough cap space to be players in the free agent market. |
