Case Keenum | Bears QB
The Browns are trading Case Keenum to the Bills, according to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
Keenum will be the new backup quarterback for Josh Allen with Cleveland likely having a whole new quarterback room, and it’s a good move for a ready-to-win Buffalo team; if Josh Allen has to miss time at some point, Keenum is a veteran that can steer the ship in a spot start. Matt Barkley has been recently connected to the Bills for a possible reunion, so we’ll see if the acquisition of Keenum changes things.

Cordarrelle Patterson | Steelers RB
The Falcons are re-signing Cordarrelle Patterson.
The running back market is moving extremely slow, but this obviously makes a ton of sense for both the Falcons and Patterson after the way the versatile playmaker was used in Arthur Smith’s offense last season. Patterson ended the season on a relatively down note in terms of statistical production, but he had 1,166 yards from scrimmage and 11 touchdowns in 2021. The Falcons also added another versatile piece in Damien Williams to the backfield, but we’ll see how Patterson is schemed and planned for on offense this year after proving that he can be a high-volume offensive weapon.
Josh Johnson | Commanders QB
Josh Johnson is signing with the Broncos.
Johnson should step in as the backup to Russell Wilson barring another move, and it’d be nice to see him solidified in Denver after bouncing around to so many teams throughout his career. The veteran played well in a start last season for the Ravens.
James Washington | Falcons WR
James Washington is signing with the Cowboys.
Washington is landing in a terrific spot as the No. 3 wideout for Dallas, and his vertical skillset fits well alongside CeeDee Lamb and Michael Gallup. Particularly if Gallup isn’t healthy for the opener coming off a torn ACL, Washington—who flashed whenever given the opportunity in Pittsburgh—should be an undervalued option in redraft leagues as an upside FLEX.
Boston Scott | Steelers RB
The Eagles are re-signing Boston Scott.
Scott will get a one-year deal worth up to $2.25 million, and he’ll try to again work his way into snaps behind Miles Sanders this season. That being said, the limited guarantee ($1.1 million) and depth of the running back class for a potential early-down option to join the Philly backfield could dim Scott’s outlook for 2022.
