Jared Goff News
Wednesday, March 11, 6:32 AM
The Detroit Lions have restructured quarterback Jared Goff's contract to create $32 million in 2026 cap space, per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Detroit's maneuvering could mean that the team is looking to make a big splash, although most of the league's top free agents have already come off the board. The Lions have needs at premium defensive positions such as edge rusher and cornerback. However, the team's biggest hole may be at left tackle, as Detroit released longtime starter Taylor Decker earlier this offseason. It's not entirely clear what the Lions' plans are, and they could simply be looking to create more flexibility for a series of smaller moves. The 31-year-old Goff remains under contract with the team through 2028 and appears to be locked in as the team's QB1 for at least the next few seasons.

Jaylen Warren News
Tuesday, March 10, 10:19 AM
The Athletic's Saad Yousuf, Dianna Russini, and Mike DeFabo believe that with the addition of new running back Rico Dowdle in free agency, "there's a good shot" that Dowdle will be in the 1A role, and Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren will be the "change-of-pace" back. The 5-foot-8 Warren has been "at his best in a third-down role and out of the shotgun." It means that the 27-year-old will likely take over the pass-catching duties that Kenneth Gainwell had in 2025, when he caught a career-high 73 passes for 486 yards and three touchdowns in 17 regular-season games. Warren was the RB17 in half-PPR scoring last year, going for a career-high 958 rushing yards and six touchdowns on the ground on 211 carries in 16 games, adding 40 catches for 333 yards and two TDs as a pass-catcher. The addition of Dowdle is definitely a big hit to Warren's overall fantasy value going into 2026, but his role as a pass-catcher shouldn't be taken lightly in PPR formats, especially if veteran quarterback Aaron Rodgers returns.
