Parker Washington News
Friday, June 26, 7:28 PM
Jacksonville Jaguars general manager James Gladstone said shortly after the 2025 season ended that the team had started preliminary contract-extension discussions with wide receiver Parker Washington and tight end Brenton Strange, according to Michael DiRocco of ESPN. The Jags agreed to a three-year extension worth up to $48 million ($25 million guaranteed) with Strange on Wednesday. Washington, 24, stepped up in a big way in 2025 after injuries to rookie Travis Hunter and Brian Thomas Jr., finishing with 58 receptions on 95 targets for 847 yards and five touchdowns in 16 regular-season games (seven starts) in his third year in the NFL. DiRocco thinks that Washington fits right into a current group of seven wideouts in the NFL that make between $16 and $18 million. A potential new deal for Washington could be for three years and $53 million, with between $25 and $30 million guaranteed. Washington's breakout has lessened Jacksonville's need to use Hunter on offense in his second season in 2026. RotoBaller currently has Washington ranked as the No. 34 fantasy wideout, and he should once again be a go-to target for quarterback Trevor Lawrence.

Xavier Worthy News
Friday, June 12, 9:39 AM
The Athletic's Jesse Newell writes that if the Kansas City Chiefs handed out an MVP award for their organized team activities this offseason, the recipient would have been wide receiver Xavier Worthy. And Worthy did it all while wearing a no-contact jersey while in the final stages of his recovery from a torn labrum that he suffered in 2025. "Xavier really had a nice camp," head coach Andy Reid said. The 5-foot-11, 165-pounder and former first-rounder in 2024 added strength in the offseason as part of the process while rehabbing from surgery in January to fix the torn labrum in his shoulder. Newell thinks there are plenty of reasons for optimism around Worthy in 2026 after he caught just 42 passes for 532 yards and one touchdown in 13 games a year ago. The 23-year-old tore his labrum on the first drive of Week 1, and he wasn't the same weapon afterward. Reid admitted in March that the coaches changed Worthy's role late in the year to shield him from further injury. His shoulder is close to 100% and is improving daily. RotoBaller currently has Worthy ranked as the No. 45 WR for 2026, but if Rashee Rice (knee) faces another suspension, his draft stock will receive a huge boost.
