Falcons claim OG Jaeden Roberts off waivers
The Falcons claimed offensive guard Jaeden Roberts off waivers, the team announced Tuesday. The Eagles waived Roberts on Monday. Roberts spent four seasons at the University of Alabama but went undrafted in the 2026 draft. He signed with the Eagles as a college free agent in May. Roberts started 37 career games in four collegiate seasons, including 2023 when current Falcons offensive coordinator Tommy Rees was his offensive coordinator at Alabama. In the past week, the Falcons have cut inside linebacker Troy Andersen, signed defensive end Cameron Sample and running back Trey Sermon, activated right tackle Jawaan Taylor off the active/PUP list, signed tight end Nick Muse and waived wide receiver Le’Meke Brockington and linebacker Malik Verdon with injury designations

Steelers CB Jalen Ramsey makes NFL Top 100 Players list
The respect for Pittsburgh Steelers defensive back Jalen Ramsey remains strong around the league. As voted on annually by NFL players, Ramsey was revealed as the No. 82 player on the NFL’s Top 100 Players list for 2026. While the seven-time Pro Bowler slipped from his No. 66 ranking a year ago, he continues to be recognized as one of the league’s premier defensive playmakers thanks to his versatility and impact. Ramsey’s highlight package featured praise from both teammates and opponents, including Steelers linebacker Alex Highsmith and New England Patriots safety Kevin Byard III. “Jalen’s always been a special athlete, man,” Byard said. “I think he’s one of the few guys in this league, probably in league history, that can truly make that seamless transition to be a Pro Bowl corner and now a Pro Bowl safety.” Former Steelers running back Trey Sermon also praised Ramsey’s unique skill set, calling the versatility he brings to a defense “exceptional.” After spending much of his career as one of the NFL’s elite shutdown cornerbacks, Ramsey has successfully evolved into a hybrid defensive back capable of lining up at outside corner, in the slot, and at safety. That positional flexibility has allowed him to remain among the league’s most valuable defenders as he enters the next stage of his career. The Steelers are expected to continue maximizing that versatility in 2026 under defensive coordinator Patrick Graham. Graham has long been known for deploying adaptable defenders in multiple roles, and Ramsey projects to serve as one of the focal points of Pittsburgh’s defense, moving around the formation as a true Swiss Army knife. Although his ranking dipped slightly from last season, Ramsey’s inclusion on the NFL Top 100 once again reflects the respect he commands from his peers and underscores the impact he is expected to have for the Steelers this season.

Las Vegas Raiders should utilize waivers in August
The Las Vegas Raiders will hold the 1st overall spot for the NFL’s waiver order, a system that allows teams to claim players who have been “waived” by their previous team. A player is waived when they have accrued 4 or less seasons in the NFL. To accrue an NFL season, a player must either have been on the team’s IR, PUP (unless on for a non-football injury), or active roster for 6 more games in a season. Teams often use the NFL’s initial roster cuts as a good way to continue building depth, add young developing players, or fill a need opened by injury in training camp. In 2022, the Jaguars held the number one overall claim where they were awarded 2 players, in 2023 the Jaguars again claimed 5 players, in 2024 the Panthers claimed six players, and in 2025 the Titans claimed 5. Looking back over the course of the last decade, only two teams holding the number one overall waiver spot claimed less than 4 players, and three of the ten claimed more than 5. In 2018, the Colts claimed EDGE Al-Quadin Muhammad who’s gone on to enjoy an 8 year career with over 45 career sacks. In 2023 the Seahawks claimed former Raiders linebacker Drake Thomas , who would go on to play nearly 800 snaps in 2025 during their Super Bowl run. Additionally, the Colts added T Ryan Hayes in 2023 who has served as high end depth with spot starts as well. 2024 saw the Raiders claim DT Jonah Laulu , who’s played over 1800 snaps in his career along with S Thomas Harper who played 500 snaps in 2026 for the Lions after being claimed off waivers by them during the Raiders waivers post training camp. Additionally, 2022 notably saw the Bears claim former Raiders tackle Alex Leatherwood off waivers, along with the Eagles claiming former 49ers 4th round runningback Trey Sermon . The Raiders currently have a noticeable lack of depth at parts of their roster, specifically linebacker, defensive tackle, safety, and arguably runningback/tight end. Las Vegas has the luxury of quality depth near the bottom of their roster in certain spots, but are truly lacking players in key areas that can contribute on special teams, develop to future impact players, and/or round out specific key roles on the roster. While I will detail a full list of possible waiver claims more into camp, Las Vegas will need to be careful about losing some of their own talent to waivers as they have in recent seasons with Harper, Thomas, and others. With the first overall claim, Las Vegas and GM John Spytek will have the opportunity to add talent to a roster that may see needs flare up, and/or add more competition into rooms requiring such

49ers News: It’s good having Dre Greenlaw back
After injury, free-agent exit, Dre Greenlaw has healthy appreciation for 49ers in return (paywall) “ Greenlaw said it wasn’t until midway through the 2025 season that he “adjusted to the normal” post-Achilles surgery: “I kind of felt like I could go and practice and I could warm up and I could do everything, and I ain’t got to worry about no pain, no nothing, I ain’t got to worry about what shoes I got on. All that kind of stuff. So probably about last year is when I first felt like for at least a week or two or multiple days in a row that I felt like, all right, I’m good to go now.” He walked into the auditorium at Levi’s Stadium, his playground for six seasons and counting, with a football tucked like a stuffed toy and fiddled with it as he fielded questions. At one point he flipped the ball from one hand to the other, displacing the black foam covering from the podium microphone. For someone who had been released from a multi-year deal less than a few months ago, Greenlaw, relegated to a one-year contract at age 29, wore a face of relief rather than one of scorn. “I ain’t got to do nothing more than what I normally do, and that’s just play football,” Greenlaw said. “I’ve never been a talkative guy, a loud guy that’s doing all this. That’s Fred’s job. I just repeat whatever he say. That’s never really been my role. My role was to go out there and just have fun.” 5 things to watch during 49ers OTAs “I remember in 2021, after the 49ers drafted two running backs. Trey Sermon could get the first crack at it. There wasn’t anything that stood out when Sermon touched the ball. Then, this jacked, undersized, speedy runner wearing No. 49 subbed in with the 3s. That looked different. It didn’t take long for the 49ers to realize Elijah Mitchell was a better football player than Sermon. By training camp, Mitchell had the upper hand. That carried over into the season and remained true for the next few seasons. Christian McCaffrey is the unquestioned leader of the backfield. Rookie Kaelon Black and second-year runner Jordan James will duke it out for RB2, while Isaac Guerendo will do everything in his power to remind the coaching staff that he’s still on the roster. I’d expect James to start out ahead of Black. Now, whether that’s the case heading into August is another story. Both players will have their opportunities during the preseason and even in the regular season. It wouldn’t be surprising if this turns out to be a “ride the hot hand” if neither player separates themselves.”

5 things to watch during 49ers OTAs
The San Francisco 49ers take the field this week for Phase 3 of the offseason program. The closer we get to summer, the closer we get to real football. It’s spring, which means we’ll need to settle for OTAs There’s generally a 10-practice schedule over a three-week period, which kicked off on Wednesday. Practice is open to the media on Thursday, so we’ll get our first glimpse at the rookie class and free agents. Here are five things we’ll be watching for. I remember in 2021, after the 49ers drafted two running backs. Trey Sermon could get the first crack at it. There wasn’t anything that stood out when Sermon touched the ball. Then, this jacked, undersized, speedy runner wearing No. 49 subbed in with the 3s. That looked different. It didn’t take long for the 49ers to realize Elijah Mitchell was a better football player than Sermon. By training camp, Mitchell had the upper hand. That carried over into the season and remained true for the next few seasons. Christian McCaffrey is the unquestioned leader of the backfield. Rookie Kaelon Black and second-year runner Jordan James will duke it out for RB2, while Isaac Guerendo will do everything in his power to remind the coaching staff that he’s still on the roster. I’d expect James to start out ahead of Black. Now, whether that’s the case heading into August is another story. Both players will have their opportunities during the preseason and even in the regular season. It wouldn’t be surprising if this turns out to be a “ride the hot hand” if neither player separates themselves. The 49ers left Aaron Banks walk in free agency. Last year, they cycled through three left guards. In an effort to ensure that doesn’t happen again in 2026, the 49ers signed Robert Jones and Brett Toth and drafted Carver Willis. Those moves suggest the team wants a veteran to win the job, but is content if it ends up like Dominick Puni ’s rookie season, where the first-year player wins the job. Don’t be shocked if Willis is working multiple positions early on to see where he fits best. He may be the long-term option at center after Jake Brendel ’s contract expires . We know Willis won’t play the position he played in college. That could lead to a bit of a learning curve, giving the veterans ahead of him a better shot to start. If healthy, the player who has played the highest level for a full season is Jones. If Jones can recapture his 2024 form, the 49ers will have their best offensive line, arguably ever, under the current regime. That might speak more to how volatile the play at left guard has been in recent seasons. Mike Evans has primarily lined up out wide throughout his career. Last year with Tampa Bay, 165 of Evans’ routes came out wide while 62 were in the slot. That’s par for the course. I doubt that’ll be the case with Kyle Shanahan. Let’s use Demarcus Robinson ’s 2025 as an example. He had 152 routes out wide compared to 100 in the slot, and even eight from a “tight” alignment. The data tells us that Shanahan wants his bigger wideouts closer to the line of scrimmage. Ricky Pearsall ran 209 routes out wide last season, but only 50 in the slot. Then again, he had 19 “tight” routes. I’d imagine Evans and rookie De’Zhaun Stribling will be featured closer to the line of scrimmage in “nasty” splits, which is a yard or two away from the offensive tackle. That’s for run-game purposes, but it also puts them in a position where they can’t get jammed off the line of scrimmage and will more than likely face a linebacker or safety in coverage. If I’m an undrafted rookie safety, I’m champing at the bit to show what I can do. The safety play last season for the 49ers left a lot to be desired. While it’s fair to say they needed to defend longer than usual without a hint of a pass rush, whichever safety was on the field was consistently out of phase in coverage. Jalen Stroman and Larry Worth are on opposite ends of the athletic spectrum. Maybe Jakob Robinson gets a crack at safety. If one of these y [... truncated ...]
