The NFL offseason is in full swing, with free agency largely settled and the draft behind us. Yet several notable storylines continue to develop, from surprise retirements to contract negotiations and veteran visits. Here’s the latest buzz from around the league.
The Miami Dolphins placed rookie running back Le’Veon Moss on the reserve/retired list, according to The Miami Herald. Moss, who signed as an undrafted free agent out of Texas A&M last month, was expected to compete for a depth role in a crowded backfield. His decision shocked many, given his productive college career that included 1,767 rushing yards and 22 touchdowns over four seasons. Miami’s running back room now projects to feature De’Von Achane, Jaylen Wright, Ollie Gordon, Donovan Edwards, and undrafted rookie Anthony Hankerson from Oregon State.
Carolina Panthers general manager Dan Morgan provided an update on quarterback Bryce Young’s contract future. Speaking on The Rich Eisen Show, Morgan confirmed the team has already exercised Young’s fifth-year option and remains open to a long-term extension. “We’ll get it done at the right time,” Morgan said. “Obviously, we believe in Bryce.” Young’s progress last season—leading the Panthers to their first NFC South title since 2015—has bolstered the organization’s confidence in him as the franchise quarterback.
In other moves, the Buffalo Bills agreed to a one-year deal with former Kansas City Chiefs defensive end Mike Danna, per ESPN. The two-time Super Bowl champion is expected to transition to outside linebacker in Buffalo’s new 3-4 scheme under defensive coordinator Jim Leonhard, adding depth behind Greg Rousseau and Bradley Chubb.
