Ray-Ray McCloud is signing with the 49ers.

McCloud said earlier this offseason that he only wanted to play for Mike Tomlin, but he’ll instead head over to an NFC contender on a two-year deal. Aside from the obvious value on special teams, McCloud can also be a factor on offense with the potential to do some similar things to Deebo Samuel if needed.

The Bears are signing Byron Pringle.

Pringle is a familiar name for general manager Ryan Poles, and the former Chief will have a big opportunity to earn a role with a wide-open depth chart behind Darnell Mooney. Chicago notably doesn’t have a first-round pick next month, so there is a good chance at least the No. 3 role is up for grabs this summer.

The Raiders are acquiring Davante Adams from the Packers.

In a stunning move, Las Vegas is trading a first-round pick and more for the All-Pro wideout, and Green Bay is suddenly without Adams despite the return of Aaron Rodgers. Las Vegas is also giving Adams a five-year deal to make him the highest-paid wide receiver in NFL history, and he’s already bought a house next to new quarterback—and college quarterback—Derek Carr. The Packers simply weren’t willing to give big-time money to Adams, but they now have a lot of work to do in rebuilding the receiving corps for 2022. For the Raiders, their core of Adams, Darren Waller, and Hunter Renfrow vaults Carr into unquestioned QB1 status.

Garrett Griffin is signing with the Lions.

Griffin played under Dan Campbell in New Orleans, and he’ll new rejoin him as a backup to T.J. Hockenson in Detroit. The veteran caught four passes last season with the Saints.

The Bears are signing Equanimeous St. Brown.

St. Brown is staying in the NFC North, but he’s moving to Chicago to play for the rival Bears. The former Packers draft pick will still also be facing his brother Amon-Ra’s team twice per year in the division. The Bears lost Allen Robinson in free agency, and the group probably only has Darnell Mooney locked into a starting role right now.

Damien Williams is signing with the Falcons.

Atlanta might have the most wide-open backfield situation in the league as things currently stand, so this is an interesting landing spot for Williams, who easily could have been Super Bowl MVP a few seasons ago. Williams will turn thirty early next month, but he hasn’t handled heavy touches throughout his career and is a very capable and versatile option out of the backfield.

Allen Robinson is signing with the Rams, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.

Robinson is getting a three-year, $46.5-million deal in a shocking destination for the former Pro Bowl wideout, as the Rams weren’t at all on the radar for a wideout (other than the projected re-signing of Odell Beckham Jr.). But now it’s unclear if Los Angeles will even want to keep OBJ with Robinson joining Cooper Kupp and a recovering Robert Woods on offense, and it not even being a prove-it, one-year deal would indicate Sean McVay has big plans for his newest target. Based on how Beckham Jr. was featured in the red zone and how much attention Kupp draws, Robinson has a strong case for WR2 value in one of the NFL’s best offenses.
