B. Massie - OT

CHI

Broncos signed RT Bobby Massie, formerly of the Bears, to a one-year, $4 million contract.

32 in August, Massie has started 110 games across his nine-year career, mainly at right tackle. He gives the Broncos a quality replacement for Ja’Wuan James (Achilles’, NFI). From left to right, the Broncos should start LT Garett Boles, LG Dalton Risner, C Lloyd Cushenberry, RG Graham Glasgow, and RT Massie.

N. Collins - WR

HOU

Texans signed third-round WR Nico Collins to a four-year contract.

Already short on picks and talent, Houston inexplicably traded pick Nos. 109, 158 and a 2022 fourth-rounder to Carolina to leap up to No. 89 for Collins. Collins (6'4/215) turned down offers to Alabama, Georgia, and LSU in order to follow Jim Harbaugh to Michigan, recording only one career 100-yard receiving game due to the Wolverines' abominable play under center. He still averaged 17.8 YPR through his collegiate career, opting out in 2020 because he "just didn’t want to get injured or something bad happen." Coaches took notice of his 34 1/8" arms and high-pointed contested catches as a plus-athlete with balance at Senior Bowl practices. Collins isn't expected to consistently separate at the next level but has shades of alpha traits and lands with negligent competition to push for a starting role in two-wide sets with Brandin Cooks from Week 1.

B. Bortles - QB

Packers signed QB Blake Bortles, formerly of the Rams, to a one-year contract.

Bortles, 29, has familiarity with both coach Matt LaFleur with the Rams and OC Nathaniel Hackett after the two went to the AFC title game together with the Jaguars. This move is solely based on familiarity, as Hackett reportedly "loves" Bortles. For Bortles, he'll get to sling the ball around at in-person workouts next week alongside Jordan Love with Aaron Rodgers keeping his distance from the team in hope of a trade out of town. Love and Bortles would make for a hilariously-bad QB duo if Rodgers is indeed dealt.

B. Bortles - QB

The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's Tom Silverstein reports the Packers "have shown an interest" in free agent QB Blake Bortles, and there's a "good chance" the team could sign him.

As Silverstein notes, Jordan Love is the Packers' only quarterback on the roster scheduled to be at in-person workouts that begin next week. Aaron Rodgers is holding out in hopes of a trade. Bortles keeps getting chances in the league and has a history with coach Matt LaFleur from their time together with the Rams and OC Nathaniel Hackett when the two were with the Jaguars. A QB room of Love and Bortles would instill zero confidence in this offense.

R. Bateman - WR

BAL

Ravens signed No. 27 overall pick WR Rashod Bateman to a four-year, $12.6 million contract.

It's fully guaranteed and includes a $6.5 million signing bonus. As is the case with all first-rounders, Bateman's deal comes with a fifth-year team option. Bateman (6'0/190) led the country in Yards per Route Run from out wide as a 20-year-old sophomore (and Big Ten's Receiver of the Year) alongside Bucs WR Tyler Johnson before being moved into the slot for 61% of his snaps in 2020 in order to see more schemed targets. His career marks of 36 broken tackles (on 147 catches) and 15.7 YPR are still pigeonhole-proof in the NFL since he succeeded across Minnesota's formation with at least one catch in all 31 games. An average athlete, Bateman's basketball background and production from anywhere on the field should earn him reps in three-wide sets alongside Marquise Brown and free agent pickup Sammy Watkins. The Ravens have definitely upgraded their wideout room.

B. Massie - OT

CHI

Free agent RT Bobby Massie worked out for the Broncos Wednesday.

Massie was joined by fellow free agent RTs Cameron Fleming, Dennis Kelly, and Jermaine Eluemunor, as the Broncos search for a replacement for Ja'Wuan James, who recently tore his Achilles' and is on the NFI list. Massie will be 32 in August and has 110 games of starting experience with the Cardinals and Bears.

T. Austin - WR

Free agent WR/KR Tavon Austin worked out for the Jets Wednesday.

The former No. 8 overall pick of the Rams has degraded into a return man only at this point in his career. He appeared in four games for the Packers last season, turning five catches into a measly 20 yards and three punt returns into 14 yards. Austin has very little to offer at 5'8/180 and 31 years old.

S. Nelson - DB

PIT

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports free agent CB Steven Nelson has drawn interest from "14 teams," including the Texans, Bears, Eagles, Bengals, and Bills.

Nelson was released by the Steelers on March 23 so the team could keep JuJu Smith-Schuster. Teams predictably wanted to wait until after the draft to sign free agents that deep into the offseason, and now that the draft has passed, Nelson's market is heating up in a big way. Nelson, 28, was Pro Football Focus' No. 36 cornerback last season. All the teams listed above could use the help on the back end of their secondary.
