D'Andre Swift - RB

Detroit Lions

Lions second-round RB D'Andre Swift suggested he's still unsure what his role will be.

"I can't even give you my role," Swift said. "Whatever role they have for me, I just gotta make sure I'm in the best shape and know all of the plays so I'm ready to take it on full force. But I'm not going in there looking to do anything, just doing what I've been doing." Having missed 14 of a possible 32 games since being drafted as Detroit's No. 43 overall pick in 2018, Kerryon Johnson's monopoly as the team's two-down grinder is threatened by the sheer presence of Swift out the gates. The Georgia product only dropped three targets while averaging 9.1 yards per reception on 73 career catches at the collegiate level, inevitably pinning him as the runner with receiving upside among this backfield. For what it's worth, Swift is currently being drafted four rounds ahead of Johnson in high-stakes fantasy leagues.

J. Simmons - DB

DEN

Broncos S Justin Simmons signed his franchise tag tender.

This has been expected for weeks and was finally confirmed Tuesday, one day before the July 15 deadline for franchise-tagged players to reach a long-term contract with their respective teams. In Simmons' case, he'll make $11.4 million in 2020 and test free agency in 2021. There's certainly an argument that safeties are being undervalued by the NFL market, and Simmons being unable to secure a long-term deal is more evidence of that. As a 26-year-old last season, Simmons was an All-Pro and PFF's No. 2 graded safety.

A. Jeffery - WR

PHI

Philly Voice's Jimmy Kempski notes Alshon Jeffery (foot) is "almost certain to start" on the PUP list.

Jeffery remains without a timetable for return, per coach Doug Pederson, so he's a near lock to be on the sideline when training camp rolls around later this month. The question is if he'll have enough time to make it back onto the field by the beginning of the regular season. If he stays on the PUP list to begin the year, Jeffery will miss at least six games, and by then, he may not have a role if first-round WR Jalen Reagor and DeSean Jackson meet expectations. Jeffery is an easy fade in fantasy drafts with health and "juice" as a 30-year-old working against him. Meanwhile, Reagor is a very interesting double-digit round fantasy selection.

J. Simmons - DB

DEN

NBC Denver's Mike Klis reports it "doesn't look good" in long-term talks with unsigned Broncos franchise player Justin Simmons.

Klis reports talks have stalled since some initial progress in April. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported four days ago that an extension was growing less likely. Coming off a huge year, 26-year-old Simmons will pocket $11.441 million in 2020.

M. Garrett - DL

CLE

Browns signed DE Myles Garrett to a five-year, $125 million extension through 2026.

The deal includes $50 million guaranteed at signing. The Browns still had two more years of team control but decided to get ahead of the ever-escalating pass-rushing market. It makes Garrett the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history at age 24. The No. 1 overall pick of the 2017 draft has been as advertised, wrecking opposing offensive lines as he's totaled 30.5 sacks across 37 career games. His 2019, of course, was cut short by his six-game suspension for assaulting Mason Rudolph with a helmet, but the Browns made it clear from the get-go they viewed the incident as an aberration. Just now entering his prime, Garrett will be worth every penny.

S. Barrett - LB

Bucs re-signed OLB Shaq Barrett to a one-year, $15.828 million contract.

For now, Barrett is getting paid on a linebacker tender, though he has filed a grievance to get the defensive end rate. He is unlikely to succeed. An under-the-radar signing by Bucs GM Jason Licht in spring 2019, Barrett erupted for a league-leading 19.5 sacks last season. Now he is the linchpin for the defense Tom Brady will be relying on as he attempts to replicate his New England success. Even if Barrett proves to be a one-season wonder, the one-year commitment is worth it for Tampa Bay.

C. Jones - DL

Chiefs re-signed DT Chris Jones to a four-year, $85 million contract.

$37 million is guaranteed at signing, with $60 million guaranteed for injury. Jones initially seemed an unlikely candidate for a long-term deal, but Patrick Mahomes' creative extension paved the way for the Chiefs to keep their interior force on the defensive side of the ball. Jones also achieved his goal of reaching $20 million-plus in average annual value. Headed into his age-26 campaign, Jones is one of the most disruptive defensive linemen in football. He has 33 sacks in four years, 24.5 of which have come over the past two seasons. The Chiefs have all the pieces in place to make another run at Lombardi in 2020.

C. Jones - DL

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports the Chiefs are "close" to reaching a four-year agreement with unsigned franchise player Chris Jones.

The sides have one more day to come to an accord. Jones supposedly was not going to play unless the Chiefs gave him at least $20 million per year on a long-term deal. It sounds like this will get done, with numbers released, on Tuesday.

J. Peters - OT

PHI

Eagles re-signed OL Jason Peters to a one-year, $3 million contract.

Another $3 million is available through incentives. Peters is an institution on the blindside in Philadelphia, but he is being brought back to man right guard following the season-ending loss of Brandon Brooks to a torn Achilles' tendon. He also offers a backup plan on second-year pro Andre Dillard at left tackle. Per Peters' agent, he waited out other offers to return to Philadelphia. The fact that he was willing to sign as a guard suggests this is actually true.
