Joe Mixon News
Wednesday, May 6, 7:53 AM
Free agent running back Joe Mixon (ankle, foot) remains unsigned, and now that we've reached the month of May, there are serious questions about whether he'll be able to occupy a meaningful role for the 2026 season. Mixon missed all of last year due to injury, and while we know he was dealing with ankle and foot issues, the Texans were very secretive about his status and why his injury timeline dragged on so much longer than anticipated. Even as Mixon hits free agency, we still haven't heard any updates about his health or status. The fact that none of the 32 teams has signed him feels discouraging, though. It was a rapid fall-off for the veteran back, who is just one year removed from tallying 1,016 rushing yards, 309 receiving yards, and 12 touchdowns in Houston. Now, if he does sign somewhere, it'll likely be in a backup role, capping his standalone value in the RB3/flex tier (at best). As long as he's unsigned, Mixon is somewhat untouchable in fantasy football, slotting in as the overall RB73 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings.

Gerald Everett News
Friday, February 21, 4:00 PM
The Chicago Bears informed veteran tight end Gerald Everett on Friday that he is being released after one season, according to The 33rd Team's Ari Meirov. The move to cut Everett will save the Bears $5.5 million in salary cap space for the 2025 season. He'll leave behind just $1 million in dead-cap money after catching only eight passes for 36 yards and no touchdowns as the No. 2 behind Cole Kmet in his lone season in Chicago after signing a two-year, $12 million deal last year. Everett will turn 31 years old in June and probably isn't anything more than a veteran No. 2 TE at this point in his career. Heading into last year, Everett had five straight seasons of at least 408 receiving yards with the Los Angeles Rams, Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Chargers. His best season came two years ago in 2022 with the Bolts, when he had a 58-555-4 line in 16 games.
