Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Sterling Shepard has reached a new contract with the organization. The veteran wideout will stick around in Tampa Bay for at least one more season, but his salary is undisclosed. Shepard hauled in 32 receptions for 334 yards and one touchdown in 14 games (five starts) with the Bucs. The 32-year-old did a nice job filling in when the Bucs were without Chris Godwin and Mike Evans for a few games. Shepard figures to serve as depth behind Godwin, Evans, and Jalen McMillian in the Tampa Bay offense. That being said, Shepard probably won't be on the fantasy radar to begin the season.

The Green Bay Packers have signed third-round rookie wide receiver Savion Williams to a four-year, $6.28 million deal. Green Bay has now signed all but two of their picks from April's draft -- their first- and second-rounders. The second of the Pack's drafted wide receivers (Matthew Golden), Williams is a big, physical wideout with excellent speed for his size (6-foot-4, 4.48 40-yard dash). He has all the athletic gifts to be a menace in the league, but is raw as a route runner, making him more of a developmental asset at this time. It seems unlikely that he'll immediately compete for snaps, considering the Packers' loaded WR corps -- filled to the brim with viable NFL-caliber wideouts. Still, he's an intriguing prospect tied to one of the league's better quarterbacks. If the 23-year-old can hammer out the finer details, seeing him carve out a role with Green Bay wouldn't be surprising.
