The Vikings are releasing David Morgan.

Morgan deal with knee issues all of 2019, and Minnesota is moving in another direction ahead of free agency. Hopefully Morgan can get healthy and back on the field for a new team this year.

Marcus Mariota is set to sign with the Raiders, according to NFL Network.

We have long believed it would be the Raiders or the Patriots that would grab the former No. 2 overall pick as an unrestricted free agent, and it’s Las Vegas that appears set to get a deal done for the dual threat quarterback. Jon Gruden was about as high as you can be about a prospect when Mariota entered the draft in 2015, comparing the former Oregon Duck to a six-foot-four Russell Wilson, and then-NFL Network analyst and current Raiders general manager Mike Mayock had Mariota rated as his No. 1 quarterback in the class over media-favorite Jameis Winston. Derek Carr remains in the mix for now, but Mariota is an extremely intriguing starting option for the Raiders, as he has a handful of years of starting experience in the NFL and owns a postseason win at Arrowhead—and he’s still just 26 years old. Also, the former Heisman Trophy winner has an all-around skillset that arguably was not utilized properly in Tennessee. In dynasty leagues, Mariota’s arrow is shooting way up, and it will be interesting to see what Gruden’s offense looks like if Mariota does indeed take over as the starter.

The Titans released Delaine Walker.

Walker was highly productive during his seven seasons with the Titans, including four consecutive seasons of 800+ yards from 2014-2017. Leg issues derailed the veteran tight end’s last two seasons, but the 35-year-old should draw considerable interest as a free agent if he wants to continue his career. Also a strong run blocker, Walker caught 381 passes for 4,423 yards and 28 touchdowns with Tennessee.

The Bears are signing Jimmy Graham, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

It’s reportedly a two-year, $16 million for Graham, who goes over from Green Bay to a division rival in Chicago. The veteran tight end seems to be a player that tries to play with a bit of a chip on his shoulder, so now he’ll get to play the Packers twice per year in 2020 and 2021. Graham will look to bring stability to the tight end position for the Bears, and he’ll have red-zone upside in particular in Matt Nagy’s offense.

The Chargers franchise tagged Hunter Henry, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.

This was fully expected, and Los Angeles retains a key piece on offense as they look to give Tyrod Taylor and/or a free agent/rookie an excellent supporting cast. Henry and the Chargers will likely try to come to an agreement on a long-term deal, but past injuries may force Henry to play this year on the franchise tag. This is great news for Falcons tight end Austin Hooper, who is set to have a ton of suitors in free agency.

The Bills are not tendering Isaiah McKenzie.

McKenzie chipped in on offense for Buffalo last season, but he’ll become an unrestricted free agent. The speedy receiver should draw a good amount of interest on the open market.

Tyler Kroft restructured his contract, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

The Bills get a year taken off Kroft’s original three-year deal from last offseason, so the veteran tight end is now in a contract year. Kroft has dealt with injuries in each of the past two seasons, so hopefully he can stay healthy and make strong contributions for Buffalo in 2020.
