[NFL - DeAndre Hopkins suitors emerge](=) Source: ESPN.com - Jeremy Fowler Free-agent WR DeAndre Hopkins (Cardinals) could be in the middle of an 'arms race' between the Kansas City Chiefs and Buffalo Bills to keep him from the other team, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Hopkins likely wants to go to a contender, and those teams are two of the strongest to push for a Super Bowl in 2023. We'll have to see some salary-cap gymnastics from either team in order to clear space for Hopkins. According to OverTheCap.com, the Chiefs are 31st in the league, and the Bills are 30th in the league when it comes to cap space. Only the Buccaneers have less cap space than those two. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 2. [JAX - Travis Etienne embracing help](=) Source: ESPN.com - Michael DiRocco Jacksonville Jaguars RB Travis Etienne said he is excited to have other quality running backs to share the load with in 2023. 'I don't have to go and bang myself up each and every play,' Etienne said. 'I've got somebody else to take a couple licks off of me and I love that.' [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Etienne is the lead back for the Jaguars, and with his receiving ability and speed as a runner, he profiles like an RB2 with upside for Fantasy GMs. We'll see how much others, like rookie RB Tank Bigsby, work into the mix. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 3. [CLE - DeAndre Hopkins open to Browns](=) Source: ESPN.com - Jeremy Fowler Free-agent WR DeAndre Hopkins (Cardinals) is open to joining the Cleveland Browns but the team is 'not considered a major contender,' ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported on Sunday, May 28. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The Chiefs and the Bills might be the most likely landing spots. However, people try to put together connections of where Hopkins might land. The Browns come up as a potential destination because of QB Deshaun Watson. In three seasons playing together for the Texans, Hopkins was a top-10 receiver each year. The Browns are not the contenders the Chiefs and the Bills are. Hopkins may be open to signing with Cleveland, but it seems like an outside chance this happens.

[LVR - Jimmy Garoppolo not guaranteed anything]( Source: ProFootballTalk.com - Mike Florio Las Vegas Raiders QB Jimmy Garoppolo (foot) can be released without penalty due to a clause in his contract that stipulates his $11.25 million signing bonus would be transitioned into his base salary if his 2022 foot injury kept him from passing the team's physical. His contract also notes he will not see any of his expected $22.5 million base salary until he passes a physical. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Garoppolo underwent foot surgery after signing with the Raiders. The team put protection in place, so they can move on if Garoppolo doesn't pass a physical. They have Brian Hoyer on the roster for veteran depth, and rookie Aidan O'Connell has the makings of a future starter with proper development. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 5. [NFL - Antonio Brown's agent claims teams are still interested](=) Source: CBS Sports - Cody Benjamin Free-agent WR [Antonio Brown](=) (Buccaneers) has fielded 'genuine' interest from NFL teams regarding a return to the league in 2023, according to his agent, JR Rickert. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Well, we will believe it when we see it. After walking out on the Buccaneers in 2021, Brown has not landed with another team. He hasn't been the same weapon he used to be since his final season with the Steelers (2018).

[KC - More support for Kadarius Toney as KC's WR1](=) Source: ESPN.com - Jeremy Fowler Kansas City Chiefs WR Kadarius Toney can be 'a No. 1 type receiver,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, and may be enough to keep the team from aggressively pursuing free-agent WR DeAndre Hopkins. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] The reports about Toney have been positive this offseason. If healthy, Toney has the ability to be a no.1 receiver. However, his presence should not prevent the Chiefs from pursuing Hopkins. Reports already indicated the Chiefs were calling the Cardinals about the star receiver before the draft. Now that he's free to sign anywhere, the Chiefs could be the front-runner for his services. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- [] 7. [SF - Elijah Mitchell cleared to participate in OTAs]() Source: NBC Sports Bay Area - Jennifer Lee Chan San Francisco 49ers RB Elijah Mitchell (groin) returned to the practice field to take part in organized team activities Tuesday, May 23, taking reps from the backfield and also participating as a pass catcher. [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ [ FOOTBALLGUYS VIEW ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] ] Good news for Mitchell, as he's in line to be the team's primary backup to starting RB Christian McCaffrey. If healthy, Mitchell can be dangerous as a runner or receiver out of the backfield. [Back to Top](#top) --------------------------------------------------------------- That'll do it for today, Folks.
