Kalif Raymond | Lions WR
The Lions are re-signing Kalif Raymond.
Raymond is back on a two-year, $9.5-million deal, and he should have a decent role both offensively and on special teams. Detroit’s signing of D.J. Chark as a vertical threat on the outside should help open things up for Amon-Ra St. Brown, T.J. Hockenson, and the rest of the offense.
Russell Gage | 49ers WR
Russell Gage is signing with the Buccaneers, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Gage is heading from Atlanta to the rival Bucs, and he will step in as the No. 3 wideout behind Chris Godwin and Mike Evans. Anyone playing in an offense with Tom Brady at quarterback is worth investing in, but Gage can get an added boost early in the season depending on the status of Godwin in his return from a torn ACL. The former sixth-round pick has caught 66+ passes in each of the past two years with the Falcons, and we expect he’ll be undervalued as a quality FLEX in redraft leagues this season.

James White | Retired RB
The Patriots re-signed James White.
This is one of the least surprising signings of free agency, as White was not expected to leave New England for another team. The reliable pass-catcher is coming off a serious hip injury suffered last September, but he should be a reliable third-down and underneath target for Mac Jones in 2022.
J.D. McKissic | Free Agent RB
The Bills are signing J.D. McKissic.
This is a surprise signing, but McKissic is an excellent receiving weapon out of the backfield for Josh Allen and Buffalo to utilize. It’s a two-year deal for the former Washington running back, who joins Devin Singletary and Zack Moss in the Bills backfield. McKissic had 80 receptions a couple of seasons ago.
Chase Daniel | Free Agent QB
Chase Daniel is re-signing with the Chargers.
Daniel is returning on a one-year deal to backup Justin Herbert, and he’ll be a veteran for the young quarterback to continue leaning on. The 35-year-old last made a start with the Bears in 2019.
