L. Murray - RB

Latavius Murray (quad) is questionable for the Divisional Round against the Bucs.

Murray missed practice this week but was labeled as "day to day" by coach Sean Payton mid-week. He'll be a game-time call for Sunday. If he sits, Ty Montgomery could see some extra work behind Alvin Kamara, who would again be a threat for 25-plus touches.

M. Maye - DB

NYJ

SNY's Ralph Vacchiano reports multiple NFL sources believe the Jets will franchise tag S Marcus Maye.

Maye has been a playmaker in every healthy season he has played for the Jets, dating back to the team selecting him with the 39th overall pick in 27. In 2020, he led the Jets with 11 Passes Defended. He was the only New York defender to log multiple interceptions and multiple forced fumbles. The Jets have money to spare and few things going in the right direction of defense. Keeping Maye around should be a priority for them. After tagging Maye, expect them to make a push to get him signed to a long-term deal.

C. Newton - QB

The Boston Globe's Ben Volin reports Patriots coach Bill Belichick "has done nothing but rave" about QB Cam Newton this offseason.

Newton battled through COVID, learned a new offense without a traditional offseason, and picked up a few wins for the Patriots in 2020 so it's not surprising that Belichick has a healthy amount of respect for the veteran passer. The real question is if that respect turns into another shot at starting for Newton, who is currently a free agent. Reports from earlier in the offseason indicated that a return to New England was unlikely but subsequent news has painted a much more optimistic picture for Newton. The Patriots have the 15th overall pick which may not be enough to land them the caliber of QB prospect they want. If that's the case, using the draft and free agency to give Newton some better weapons to work with seems plausible. The former Panther threw more interceptions than touchdowns last year but his top two receivers were both UDFAs with a combined seven starts before 2020. Newton may not be as physically gifted as he was in Carolina but building up a project QB via the draft doesn't seem to be in the cards for the 68-year-old head coach. Newton has a real shot at opening 2021 as New England's starter and would be an intriguing fantasy option because of his running ability.

G. Everett - TE

The Athletic's Sheil Kapadia believes there's a "good chance" Gerald Everett will be "viewed as a starter on the open market."

Everett in 2020 saw as many targets as Rams teammate Tyler Higbee despite running fewer pass routes. Now a free agent, Everett could land on a team that sees him not as a No. 2 tight end, but a starter. Last year, Everett averaged 7.97 PPR points in games where he saw at least five targets. "If a team thinks there’s untapped upside," Kapadia said, "a deal in the neighborhood of $7 million to $8 million per year could be in play." Higbee, signed with LA through the 2023 season, would presumably see more opportunity if Everett signs with another team, though that's far from a guarantee.

H. Henry - TE

LAC

The Athletic's Sheil Kapadia believes Hunter Henry could get $10.5 million a year in free agency.

Kapadia said Austin Hooper's 2020 deal with Cleveland could be a fair comp for what Henry might fetch on the open market. Henry, 26, was franchise tagged last year. Henry, who averaged more fantasy points last season than all but nine tight ends, could see significant interest from teams who see him as a matchup nightmare against slower linebackers and smaller safeties. Ex-XFLer and touchdown machine Donald Parham could get a real shot at the Chargers' starting tight end job if Henry signs elsewhere this offseason.

J. Gordon - WR

SEA

Josh Gordon signed with the Zappers of the Fan Controlled Football league.

It's one of the sadder sentences ever written about a player who once upon a time looked like an all-time great. After bouncing in and out of the NFL for eight years, Gordon, 29, joins the FCF, headlined by former Browns QB Johnny Manziel. FCF games are played seven-on-seven in a "high tech studio arena and streamed live on Twitch," according to the league's site. Fans can apparently call plays for FCF teams -- like a video game with human beings. Gordon most recently played for the Seahawks, and failed the terms of his conditional reinstatement in late December, effectively ending his NFL career. Gordon in 2013 led the NFL in receiving yards.

D. Watson - QB

HOU

Deshaun Watson would lose around $20.2 million if he sits out the 2021 season.

The numbers, while a bit complicated, add up to $20.2 million if Watson skips mandatory minicamp, training camp, and the regular season. He's reportedly told the Texans he will not play another snap for the team, possibly setting up a protracted battle between the two sides. Watson can essentially choose his next team since he has a no-trade clause in the contract he signed last year. Holding out the entire season would mean Watson's base salary would remain $10.54 million in 2022. Taking the ultimate hard line -- as Le'Veon Bell did with the Steelers in 2018 -- would sacrifice a year in the prime of Watson's career. He'll be 26 in September.

D. Brees - QB

A video posted by Drew Brees' trainer showing the quarterback working out has raised questions about Brees' intent to retire.

The trainer, Todd Durkin, posted a video in which Brees pushed a weight sled -- hardly the exercise routine of a 42-year-old getting ready to retire. The workout video was full of cryptic comments from Durkin, who said, "Don’t know what he’s doing, I’m not sure what he’s doing. Never quite been done before! That’s a new record because it’s never been done before!” while Brees pushed a sled across a parking lot. Saints head coach Sean Payton said nearly a month ago that he expected an announcement from Brees on his future with the team. That announcement never came. With Brees' salary already slashed by $24 million to allow the Saints to carry a reduced cap number until June 2, the Hall of Fame QB would theoretically play for a base salary of $1.075 million if he shirks retirement. For fantasy purposes, Brees coming back for one last run with New Orleans would make Alvin Kamara a top-2 pick in 2021, while Michael Thomas would be far less desirable than he would be with Jameis Winston or another signal caller with more arm strength than the aged Brees.

L. McCoy - RB

Impending free agent LeSean McCoy said he plans to play next season.

McCoy wants to sign with a contender or somewhere he can serve as veteran depth. There’s unlikely to be much interest after McCoy looked washed in the 10 games he appeared in last year, but with Super Bowls in back-to-back seasons, some team may be willing to give him a non-guaranteed deal. McCoy turns 32 in July.

R. Incognito - OG

Raiders OL Richie Incognito (ankle) has resumed running.

Incognito is three months removed from season-ending surgery. He was effective for the two games he played in last year but isn’t a lock to be back as a 38-year-old coming off injury. The Raiders can save $5.5 million if they move on from Incognito this offseason.

T. Patrick - WR

DEN

The Broncos are likely to place at least a second-round tender on restricted free agent Tim Patrick.

Patrick is coming off career highs, posting a 51/742/6 line as a 15 game starter. Denver may play it safe and give him a first-round tender, as there could be league interest in the 27-year-old. It’s possible the Broncos shop Patrick this offseason given their depth at receiver, but he'll be brought back if he isn’t traded.

R. Higgins - WR

CLE

Free agent WR Rashard Higgins said he wants to re-sign with the Browns.

Higgins hasn't received an offer from the Browns' front office, but the No. 2 or No. 3 receiver is hoping one is coming his way. With the Browns opting for more 12-personnel than most, Higgins' is likely looking at a reduced role in 2021 if he re-signs because Odell Beckham and Jarvis Landry are under contract. Higgins was a fringe flex option without OBJ last season in good matchups. His ceiling remains low, but he's a quality depth option for an NFL franchise. Higgins will be 27 years old.

D. Johnson - RB

HOU

Houston Chronicle's Aaron Wilson reports the Texans want to keep David Johnson for 2021 but at a lower salary.

Johnson is set to make $8.5 million in 2021, but the Texans can save $6.4 million against the cap by releasing him. If D.J. became a free agent, he certainly wouldn't sign for more than the $8.5 million he's scheduled to make, so it makes sense for the two parties to agree to a paycut and enter the season as the unquestioned starter. Assuming Johnson returns, he'll have RB2 appeal if Deshaun Watson stays and doesn't sit out. If Watson is traded or sits out, Johnson will struggle for top-24 production. He's a classic boom-bust RB2/3 in early fantasy drafts with Duke Johnson out of the way. The Texans' first pick in the 2021 NFL Draft isn't until Round 3, so Johnson is unlikely to face rookie competition next year. It all comes down to Watson's situation.
