Devin Duvernay Re-Signs With Bears

Thursday, August 28, 7:14 PM

The Chicago Bears announced that they have re-signed wide receiver Devin Duvernay to their active roster one day after releasing him. A third-round pick in 2020, Duvernay spent the first four years of his career with the Baltimore Ravens before joining the Jacksonville Jaguars last season. The 27-year-old hasn't posed much of an offensive threat, having totaled 105 receptions, 977 yards, and five touchdowns in 72 games. Duvernay has stood out on special teams, on the other hand, with a pair of Pro Bowl nods as a return man. He'll mainly serve as a return specialist for the Bears while providing depth in a WR corps led by DJ Moore, Rome Odunze, Olamide Zaccheaus, and Luther Burden III.

Rams Tender Contracts to Harrison Mevis, Xavier Smith

Monday, March 2, 5:18 PM

The Los Angeles Rams announced on Monday that they tendered exclusive-rights free-agent kicker Harrison Mevis and wide receiver Xavier Smith. Neither Mevis nor Smith will be allowed to negotiate with other teams this offseason. Mevis, 23, made his NFL debut last year and was impressive, making 12 of his 13 field-goal attempts (made his lone try from 50-plus yards) and all 39 of his extra-point tries in nine regular-season games. He finished the year ranked as the No. 8 fantasy kicker in terms of fantasy points per game at 8.3. In the playoffs, Mevis was a perfect 15-for-15 on field goals (six) and extra-point tries. The former undrafted kicker out of Missouri should enter the 2026 season as the favorite to be L.A.'s starting kicker, which will make him pretty attractive in fantasy football in one of the league's highest-scoring offenses.
