Austin Seferian-Jenkins plans to visit the Seahawks and Jaguars.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported the Seattle news, and ESPN’s Josina Anderson says Seferian-Jenkins told her he plans to visit the Jaguars too. Seattle is looking to add another tight end after letting Jimmy Graham go in free agency, while the Jaguars are looking to add more to the group after already keeping Marcedes Lewis for 2018. The Jets could also remain a possibility, but ASJ leaving after two seasons in New York might be the more realistic scenario.

Malcolm Mitchell won’t be activated off injured reserve, according to Ian Rapoport.

Today ends Mitchell’s window to be activated for this season, so he officially won’t be playing in the AFC Championship or potentially the Super Bowl. The second-year receiver dealt with a knee issue in the preseason that forced him to injured reserve, and he was never able to get healthy enough to appear in a game. It’s unfortunate after Mitchell showed so much promise as a fourth-round rookie last season. Looking ahead to next season, Malcolm is a good bet to at least be someone that rotates in the receiving group for New England.

Jordy Nelson is scheduled to visit three teams.

According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the former Packers receiver is scheduled to visit both the Seahawks and Saints after his visit with Oakland today. However, it’s possible he doesn’t leave the Raiders facility without a deal, so he might not even get to Seattle or New Orleans. More teams are almost certainly interested in Nelson, too.

Allen Robinson says his rehab is coming along “smoothly.”

The former 1,400-yard, 14-touchdown receiver tore his ACL on Jacksonville’s first series of the season, so he unfortunately hasn’t been a part of this playoff run on the field for his team. However, he’s been in some meetings and hanging around the team, and he says head coach Doug Marrone and the team have made him feel a part of this playoff run despite him not being able to play. Robinson says he is now jogging and can put full weight on his surgically-repaired knee, and he says he “definitely know[s]” he’ll be back to where he was before the injury. The 24-year-old says he wants to return to the Jaguars, but it sounds like he’ll let his agent do the negotiating while he focuses on getting back to 100%. Robinson is obviously a very strong dynasty-league option despite coming off the knee injury, and he should offer good upside wherever he is next season.

Jerick McKinnon is expected to sign with the 49ers, according to Adam Schefter.

Schefter says it’s a four-year deal and adds that McKinnon is “the back they wanted.” At a reported $7.5 million per year over four years, it certainly looks like the Niners did badly want the former Viking in the mix. Expect McKinnon to step right in as the Niners’ starter, and after seeing how Carlos Hyde was used as a receiver in Kyle Shanahan’s offense last season, McKinnon could be a lock for another 50+ receptions this season if he stays healthy. McKinnon’s career high in carries is 159 in 2016, but it wouldn’t be surprising if he easily eclipsed the 200-mark this season. The signing cannot become official until 4:00 PM ET, though, and we’ll see who else the 49ers add to the backfield in free agency or in the draft.

Drew Brees wants to remain with the Saints next season.

This is the least bit surprising, but Brees is scheduled to become a free agent this offseason. According to ESPN, Brees told reporters he’s “not in the mood to make anything secretive” and wants to remain in New Orleans for as long as they’ll have him. Brees’ agent might not be happy with the comments, but Brees and the Saints should be able to come to an amicable agreement. The now-39-year-old quarterback (his birthday was yesterday) says he feels the Saints have a “great window” to win a championship, and he tweeted after Sunday’s loss how much he loves the Saints fans and the team that he believes is “destined for great things.” Brees isn’t likely to be anywhere but The Big Easy in 2018.

The Browns are signing tight end Darren Fells, according to NFL Network.

Mike Garafolo and Ian Rapoport say it’s a three-year deal worth $12 million, and of course it cannot become official until the start of the new league year today at 4:00 PM ET. Fells will give an instant run-blocking presence to the Browns, and he’s also shown his capability as a solid scoring threat at 6’7″. Second-year tight end David Njoku is likely to be the fantasy asset at the position for the Browns, though.
