Wilson visited with the Jets on Tuesday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.

Wilson is being considered as an option to back up Geno Smith after the two quarterbacks previously spent time together in Seattle. Now 37 years old, Wilson doesn't have a whole lot left in the tank and has looked overmatched when forced into game action in recent seasons, but he'd be a solid veteran sounding board wherever he ends up for the 2026 season.

The Ravens signed Pavia as an undrafted free agent Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Pavia was initially slated to participate in rookie minicamp with Baltimore this upcoming weekend, but the Ravens decided to ink him to a deal. It's a standard three-year, entry-level deal that every undrafted rookie gets, and it does't mean Pavia will be guaranteed to stick around for the entire offseason or even make the 53-man roster. Pavia is simply being brought on to compete for a job after the Heisman Trophy finalist went undrafted last weekend. Pavia's biggest pre-draft red flags were his 5-foot-10 height, advanced age (24 years old) and off-field character questions. While on the field at Vanderbilt last season, Pavia was first in the the SEC in completion percentage (70.6), yards per attempt (9.4) and touchdown passes (29), and he threw for 3,539 yards while rushing 167 times for 862 yards and 10 additional touchdowns.

The Steelers assigned Rodgers the right-of-first-refusal UFA tender Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Rodgers reportedly had not notified Pittsburgh of his plans for the 2026 season ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft, in which the team added Drew Allar (ankle) in the third round to join Mason Rudolph and Will Howard in the quarterback room. The right-of-first-refusal tender means the Steelers will receive exclusive negotiation rights with Rodgers if he doesn't sign anywhere by July 22, per Schefter, or the start of the summer's first training camp if that date is earlier. Before that date, Rodgers remains free to sign with another team, though Pittsburgh would have the right of first refusal, and by all appearances the 42-year-old veteran intends to stick with the Steelers if he plays another season. Rodgers' tender would provide a 10 percent raise on the one-year, $13.65 million contract he played under in 2025.

The Jaguars signed Aguilar as an undrafted free agent Sunday.

Aguilar is now officially on the books and set to compete with Nick Mullens and Carter Bradley for the honor of backing up Trevor Lawrence. Aguilar's 3,565 passing yards and 24 passing touchdowns as a senior at Tennessee provide a strong foundation for the summer that he will spend slinging the rock against NFL veterans in an effort to suit up at the highest level.

The Panthers are expected to sign King as an undrafted free agent, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Haynes began his collegiate career with Texas A&M before transferring to Georgia Tech in 2023. He completed 252 of his 361 pass attempts for 2,951 yards, 14 touchdowns and six interceptions during the 2025 season with the Yellow Jackets.

The Raiders are expected to sign Robertson as an undrafted free agent, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Robertson spent his final three collegiate seasons with Baylor and racked up 3,681 passing yards with a 60.3 percent completion percentage, 31 touchdowns and 12 interceptions as a senior. He was unremarkable as a rusher, carrying 56 times for 17 yards, though he recorded three touchdowns in that capacity. The Raiders drafted Fernando Mendoza No. 1 overall in this year's draft and also signed Kirk Cousins in free agency, so Robertson is likely headed for a spot on the practice squad.

Altmyer is slated to sign with the Lions as an undrafted free agent, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.

Altmyer's best football trait is his brain. The fifth-year senior out of Illinois is a clutch passer, leading seven game-winning drives in the final minute or overtime in his career. The quarterback consistently finds clear sight lines and can deliver accurate balls with nice touch and rhythm. Despite not being wildly athletic, he is adept at finding an escape route when the pocket collapses. The root of all Altmyer's weaknesses is his lack of transcendent athleticism. He doesn't throw with power, is undersized, doesn't have exceptional ball security and has a lack of poise in the pocket. The positive news about a potential signing with the Lions is that Jared Goff isn't an exceptional athlete either by NFL standards, and the ability to learn from the pocket passer in an effort to fix some of these weaknesses could lead to future opportunities in the NFL for the 23-year-old.

Aguilar is slated to sign with the Jaguars as an undrafted free agent, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Aguilar will join the Jacksonville quarterback room and will vie with Nick Mullens and Carter Bradley for one of two potential backup jobs behind starter Trevor Lawrence. As a seventh-year senior at Tennessee this past fall, Aguilar completed 67.3 percent of his passes for 3,565 yards, 24 pass touchdowns and 10 interceptions. The 24-year-old has a solid arm, good deep ball potential and a great frame, but he struggles with seeing the field. This weakness is especially evident when he's pressured, due to a lack of pocket elusiveness that led to eight fumbles in 2025 and 29 in three years at the FBS level. Aguilar also had surgery in January to remove a benign tumor on his throwing shoulder, adding to the worries already in place about his age as he enters the league.

The Chiefs selected Nussmeier in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 249th overall.

There was a fair amount of mainstream media hype for Nussmeier to go on Day 2 of the draft, so for him to fall into the late seventh makes him a harmless, all-upside pick for the Chiefs. The Chiefs of course hope Nussmeier won't need to see the field right away, but all it might take is a good start or two to make Nussmeier a fought-over trade target a few years from now. In the meantime, the Chiefs will likely be happy if Nussmeier can merely stick on the roster as a backup -- an outcome that was taken as a foregone conclusion by most draft observers as recently as the morning before the Chiefs picked him. Nussmeier (6-foot-2, 203 pounds) is smallish and struggled a concerning amount during his LSU career, including in his most recent season. Nussmeier's completion percentage was poor in his first four years -- 64.2 as a fourth-year player was his career high to that point -- and then in 2025 Nussmeier's YPA dropped to 6.7 yards. This is probably another Quinn Ewers sort of scenario.

The Patriots selected Morton in the seventh round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 234th overall.

Morton (6-foot-2, 218 pounds) struggled as a second- and third-year starter for Texas Tech in 2022 and 2023, and even in his otherwise improved fourth season he strained to move the ball (63.3 percent completed, 7.2 yards per attempt). The positive news is Morton really fixed his touchdown to turnover ratio in that fourth season, throwing 27 touchdowns to eight interceptions. Back to the bad news: Morton is decently athletic (4.89-second pro day 40) yet took enough sacks at the collegiate level that it's reasonable to suspect both that Morton is not a threat to run at the NFL level and that he's not even a candidate to manage pocket pressure especially well. Of course, the Patriots may only view Morton as a viable backup to Drake Maye, but even that might be a hasty expectation.
