Who Should I Start? Donovan Peoples-Jones or Terrace Marshall Jr.

Thursday, May 15, 1:06 PM

New Orleans Saints executive vice president/general manager Mickey Loomis announced earlier this week that the team signed free-agent wide receiver Donovan Peoples-Jones and safety Terrell Burgess to undisclosed one-year deals and waived safety Millard Bradford and running back Jordan Mims in corresponding moves. Both Peoples-Jones and Burgess took part in the team's rookie minicamp last weekend on a tryout basis. Peoples-Jones, 26, was a sixth-round pick by the Cleveland Browns in 2020 out of Michigan. He was on the Detroit Lions' practice squad last year but last played in an NFL game in 2023, when he caught 13 of 25 targets for 155 yards and no touchdowns in 15 games (six starts) with the Browns and Lions. DPJ will face an uphill battle for a starting role in New Orleans as receiver depth behind Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, Brandin Cooks and Bub Means in 2025.

The Philadelphia Eagles agreed to terms with free-agent wide receiver Terrace Marshall Jr. on an undisclosed one-year deal on Thursday, sources tell NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Marshall will not be anywhere near the fantasy radar as he looks to provide depth at the position behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. The 24-year-old is coming off a 2024 season with the Las Vegas Raiders in which he had only three receptions on six targets for 41 yards and no touchdowns in seven games played (one start). The former second-round pick (59th overall) by the Carolina Panthers in 2021 out of LSU caught a combined 64 passes for 767 yards and just one touchdown on 110 targets in his three seasons with the Panthers from 2021-23. Marshall will be competing with the likes of Jahan Dotson and Johnny Wilson, among others, for a 53-man roster spot.
