Walker will face increased competition for touches after the Ravens drafted a pair of rookie wideouts in Ja'Kobi Lane (third round) and Elijah Sarratt (fourth round) in the 2026 NFL Draft, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

Walker seemed like the top candidate for the No. 3 receiver role behind Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman (illness) prior to the 2026 NFL Draft, but the third-year pro may now need to impress in a competition this offseason in order to secure more than a situational role. Through his first two seasons in the league Walker has only secured seven of 11 targets, but he's made an impact on those limited touches, with 157 receiving yards and three touchdowns. Rookie tight ends Matthew Hibner (fourth round) and Josh Cuevas (fifth round) also represent added competition for targets.

Lowry is slated to sign with the Steelers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Lowry suffered a knee injury in early August of 2025, rendering him unable to play for the entire season. The defensive end last played for the Steelers in 2024, producing five tackles, including 1.0 sacks, over a 12-game span. The 31-year-old should provide cheap and experienced depth to the Steelers' defensive line as they head into the 2026 season.

The 49ers signed Dinkins as an undrafted free agent Sunday.

Dinkins caught 37 passes for 399 yards and seven touchdowns across his four seasons at Penn State. With George Kittle (Achilles) and Jake Tonges (foot) both dealing with injuries, Dinkins has a chance to make the team's final roster.

The 49ers signed Pauling as an undrafted free agent Sunday.

Pauling ended his final college season at Notre Dame, starting six games at wide receiver for the Fighting Irish. The 23-year-old accumulated 26 receptions for 381 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns over 12 contests as a fifth-year senior. Pauling's speed and quickness provide upside as a special teams producer that can also develop offensive value. If he wants to survive the 49ers' cut-down day, he will have to make his versatile potential clear in training camp.

The Jaguars signed Taylor as an undrafted free agent Sunday.

Taylor's 222 carries with Virginia in 2025 give him extensive experience to bring to the Jaguars' camp. The durable dual-threat running back may be undersized, but he holds onto the ball and plays with great physicality. Now officially a Jaguar, Taylor will compete with the rest of the running back room for potential meaningful snaps in 2026.

The Jaguars signed Pena as an undrafted free agent Sunday.

Pena, a sixth-year senior, played his first five college seasons with Syracuse before ending his college journey at Penn State. The wide receiver started eight games in 2025 and participated in 13, totalling 49 receptions for 552 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns. Pena's average size and speed will do him no favors at the NFL level, but his toughness and intuitive feel for space may sneak him onto an NFL roster as a punt return option.

The Jaguars signed Wortham as an undrafted free agent Sunday.

Wortham had a career year during his lone season at Montana in 2025, catching 85 passes for 1,224 yards and 10 touchdowns. As Jacksonville's receiving room is already crowded, Wortham will likely face an uphill battle to make the team's final roster but could have a chance of making the practice squad.

The Jaguars signed Connor as an undrafted free agent Sunday.

Connor played three collegiate seasons at Troy, producing 31 receptions for 397 receiving yards and 3 receiving touchdowns over 11 games in his final season. The tight end comes in at 6-foot-4 and 245 pounds, making him smaller than the other depth-level tight ends currently on the Jaguars' roster. With marginal receiving upside and a smaller frame, it will likely be difficult for Connor to work his way up the depth chart and would take an exceptional showing at the team's camp for him to be considered for the 53-man roster.

The Chargers signed Svoboda as an undrafted free agent Saturday.

Svoboda was originally a quarterback at Wyoming before switching over to tight end in 2025. He caught 11 passes for 92 yards and a touchdown during the 2025 campaign. Svoboda was one of two tight ends the team added as undrafted free agents alongside Jerand Bradley.

The Jaguars signed Boyd as an undrafted free agent Sunday.

After one season at Minnesota followed by three at Texas Tech, Boyd transferred to Utah State for his fifth and final season of college football in 2025. The 6-foot-1, 195-pound receiver had his best season yet, recording 46 catches for 743 yards and eight touchdowns on 94 targets over 13 games for the Aggies. Boyd will face long odds to make the Jaguars' Week 1 roster and may need to prove his worth on special teams in order to secure a spot.
