Olamide Zaccheaus | Bears WR
The Falcons have tendered Olamide Zaccheaus.
Atlanta can now match any official contract offer made to Zaccheaus when free agency officially begins tomorrow at the start of the new league year at 4:00 PM ET. The Falcons are likely to have a bit of a revamped receiving corps this season, and Zaccheaus would ideally be a part of that as someone with experience with Matt Ryan.
Allen Lazard | Jets WR
The Packers are tendering Allen Lazard at the second-round level.
This makes it highly unlikely that another team will come in with an offer to get Lazard out of Green Bay. Lazard is a relatively trusted target of Aaron Rodgers, and expect him to be back in the mix in Matt LaFleur’s offense with the Packers in 2022. Perhaps a long-term agreement between the two sides will be reached, but Lazard can hit free agency next offseason if not.

Preston Williams | Free Agent WR
The Dolphins are re-signing Preston Williams.
Williams has unfortunately had trouble staying on the field through his first three NFL seasons, playing in just eight games each year. However, the former undrafted receiver will turn just 25 years old later this month. Williams will look to grow into a role in Mike McDaniel’s offense this season.
DJ Chark Jr. | Falcons WR
The Lions are signing D.J. Chark.
According to multiple reports, it’s a one-year deal for Chark. The former Jaguars receiver suffered a broken ankle last season, but he’s a former 1,000-yard target at just 25 years old. The Lions came through with a $10 million fully guaranteed with up to $12 million in a type of prove-it deal for the one year. It’s somewhat of a surprise signing, but Detroit was thought of as a team that was going to be aggressive at receiver during free agency. Jared Goff should be in a much better position with the supporting cast this season, assuming everyone can stay healthy.
Zay Jones | Cardinals WR
The Jaguars are signing Zay Jones.
Jones is reportedly getting a three-year deal worth up to $30 million ($24 million base number). Jacksonville continues to be the most aggressive team of the day, surrounding Trevor Lawrence with several upgrades on offense. After adding Jones and Christian Kirk today, Laviska Shenault or Marvin Jones Jr. might be on the move from the Jags at some point before the season.
