Bud Dupree - LB

Pittsburgh Steelers

Franchise-tagged Bud Dupree filed a grievance to be classified as a defensive end rather than linebacker.

Added Jul 11 5:20 pm (EST)

It's the same thing Bucs franchised edge rusher Shaq Barrett is doing in Tampa Bay. The defensive end tag is worth about $2 million more than the $15.828 million linebacker version. Ravens franchise edge rusher Matt Judon split the difference with Baltimore and will make over $16 million this season. Dupree is coming off a career-high 11.5 sacks.

B. Scherff - OG

WAS

ESPN's John Keim reports Washington will not sign franchise-tagged RG Brandon Scherff to a long-term contract this offseason.

When the July 15 deadline passes, it looks Scherff into play the 2020 on the franchise tag. Washington will attempt to sign Scherff to a long-term contract next offseason, but it's unclear how much Scherff wants to stay with the organization. Outside of various injuries, Scherff has been a high-quality interior lineman. He'll count $15 million against the cap this season.

M. Harrison - LB

BAL

Ravens signed third-round LB Malik Harrison to a four-year contract.

Harrison (6’3/247) was a two-year starting linebacker at Ohio State who earned first-team All-Big Ten honors as a senior. Especially for someone of his size, he showed above-average straight-line athleticism, particularly in zone coverage where he could run and chase. In man coverage, his sub-par agility was occasionally exposed, so he may be scheme-dependent in the NFL. He’s a physical player with nice vision against the run. He led the Buckeyes in tackles and was used as a spy. Harrison’s 72nd percentile Adjusted SPARQ athleticism and above-average production (75 tackles, 16.5 TFLs) are enough to bet on him as an NFL starter who will be at his best in zone and against the run. Harrison and first-rounder Patrick Queen could easily start Week 1 inside for the Ravens.

R. Gregory - DL

DAL

Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Clarence Hill reports the Cowboys have "all but given up hope" that suspended DE Randy Gregory will be reinstated.

Gregory missed all of the 2019 season due to off-the-field penalties, and he may not get another chance to make it back into the NFL. He applied for reinstatement in March, but there hasn't been any indication that Roger Goodell will clear Gregory. Goodell, of course, has much bigger problems on his plate right now. If Gregory is reinstated, he'll be an asset to a depleted Cowboys defense. They just don't appear to be expecting him back.

G. Olsen - TE

SEA

NY Post's Andrew Marchand reports Greg Olsen signed with Fox Sports to be their No. 2 NFL analyst when he retires.

Olsen has been fantastic in his limited broadcasting appearances, so this doesn't come as a surprise. This signing will not affect his 2020 outlook at all, but this very well could be his final season in the league. Olsen will be making just about as much in the booth as he'd be making as a 35-year-old tight end next year. For fantasy this season, Olsen slides into the TE2/3 conversation as a low-volume target who will be touchdown-dependent.

N. Stanley - QB

MIN

Vikings signed seventh-round QB Nate Stanley to a four-year contract.

He's the first Vikings rookie to sign a contract. Stanley (6'4/235) made 39 consecutive starts in Iowa's I-formation offense, finishing with a 27-12 record as only the second three-year captain in school history. The Hawkeyes' offense relies on quick throws and intelligent opportunities downfield, but Stanley's career average depth of completion (6.4) emphasizes his reluctance to take shots. Having said that, tight windows don’t intimidate him, and his concentration inexplicably increased on third and fourth downs (70-for-121, 57.9 percent). With a spotty track record of overthrowing his teammates by 15-plus yards at times, Stanley projects as a late-round developmental project whose ceiling is that of a career backup's. The current No. 2 quarterback for the Vikings is Sean Mannion, so Stanley has a chance.

D. Prescott - QB

DAL

ESPN's Todd Archer reports there are "no talks scheduled" between franchise player Dak Prescott and the Cowboys ahead of Wednesday's deadline to reach a long-term contract.

NFL Network's Jane Slater reported something similar Monday morning, saying there wasn't much optimism a long-term deal would be reached ahead of Wednesday's deadline. Prescott already signed his franchise tender, locking him into $31.409 million for this season. At worst, the tag would again be available to the Cowboys next offseason, but that would certainly strain things between the two sides. Prescott seems content playing out the one-year tag and betting on himself before a monster payday next March.

J. Reed - TE

WAS

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports three teams have expressed interest in free agent Jordan Reed.

The identity of those teams isn't known, and this sounds a bit agent-driven. Still, Reed has no plans to hang up his cleats despite a lengthy, concerning concussion history. He visited Seattle back in March, but the Seahawks signed Greg Olsen and drafted Colby Parkinson to go with Jacob Hollister and Will Dissly. The Rams also reportedly "spoke" with Reed, but they drafted Brycen Hopkins behind Tyler Higbee and Gerald Everett. We'd guess both NFC West clubs are out on 30-year-old Reed.

L. Williams - DL

NYG

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports Giants DT Leonard Williams will play out the season on the franchise tag.

Williams certainly hasn't earned a big second contract with his play to this point. As RapSheet points out, the "hope" is Williams excels in new DC Patrick Graham's Patriots-style system and the sides revisit multi-year discussions next offseason. GM Dave Gettleman pretty much had no choice but to tag Williams after trading a pair of picks for him. The former No. 6 overall pick had a measly 0.5 sacks last season with the Jets and Giants and has just 17.5 to his name across five seasons. Williams was Pro Football Focus' No. 51 interior lineman last year.
