NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Los Angeles Rams are willing to eat some of veteran wide receiver Cooper Kupp's $7.5 million signing bonus for the 2025 season to facilitate a trade this offseason. It's no secret that the Rams were shopping Kupp at last year's trade deadline. Although they ended up keeping him around, Kupp went public on Monday that the Rams want to trade him this offseason. At this point, it would be a surprise if the 31-year-old was in L.A. next season. The former third-rounder in 2017 out of Eastern Washington had the receiving Triple Crown in 2021 but hasn't played more than 12 games in a season since due to injuries and is on the wrong side of 30. Kupp could still be productive in a new uniform in 2025, depending on where he ends up, but for fantasy purposes, managers need to weigh his injury risk heavily when considering him in drafts this fall.

The Cincinnati Bengals announced on Tuesday that they signed free-agent wide receiver Mitchell Tinsley to a Reserve/Futures deal. Tinsley will not count on the team's active list until after the Super Bowl on Monday, Feb. 10. The 25-year-old went undrafted out of college in 2023 but eventually latched on with the Washington Commanders. He was active for two games with the Commanders in 2023 but wasn't targeted at all. Tinsley spent all of the 2024 campaign on the team's practice squad. He will now head to the AFC and continue his development with the Bengals all offseason up through training camp. If Tinsley sticks around beyond camp, he'll likely open the regular season this fall on Cincy's practice squad. Tinsley played collegiately at Hutchinson Community College, Western Kentucky and Penn State.

New England Patriots quarterback Joe Milton III made a good enough impression in his NFL debut in the Week 18 victory against the Buffalo Bills backups that he could become a trade chip this offseason. "I thought the Patriots would hold off on entertaining a trade of Joe Milton, who was drafted in the sixth round (193rd overall) last year, for at least another season, but there's increasing belief around the NFL that the Patriots are at least contemplating a trade of Milton this offseason," Boston Sports Journal's Greg Bedard wrote. This year's QB draft class is considered weak, and the Pats could fetch up to a third-round pick for Milton this year if QB-needy teams don't feel like taking their chances on QB prospects like Riley Leonard, Dillon Gabriel or Jaxson Dart. If New England doesn't shop Milton before the draft in April, they could revisit and look to trade him this summer.

The Carolina Panthers signed former Washington Commanders wide receiver Brycen Tremayne to a Reserve/Futures deal on Tuesday, according to Panthers beat writer Darin Gantt. Tremayne went undrafted out of college at Stanford but was eventually picked up by the Commanders. He made his NFL debut with Washington in 2024 and was active in two games, catching his only target for a loss of two yards. The 25-year-old pass-catcher spent most of his time in D.C. the last two seasons toiling on the Commanders' practice squad. The 6-foot-4, 212-pounder will now continue his development with the Panthers this offseason and will be hoping to win a spot on the active 53-man roster for Week 1 by impressing Carolina's coaching staff in training camp this summer.

The Jacksonville Jaguars have requested to interview Josh Williams for their vacant general manager position. Williams is currently the director of scouting and football operations with the San Francisco 49ers. He has been with the organization for over a decade in scouting roles, but just recently took over football operations. The Jags have already hired Liam Coen as their new head coach after moving on from former GM Trent Baalke. Whoever takes over as the Jags GM already has a head coach and franchise quarterback in Trevor Lawrence. Williams appears to be the favorite for the job after Mike Greenberg dropped out of the race.
