Jacksonville’s 2025 overhaul is on, with 23 new players and a string of bold moves. Saunders from New Orleans shores up the interior D-line while Fred Johnson heads to Philadelphia for extra draft capital. Tim Patrick adds veteran upside at receiver, and Beau Brade’s waiver by New York signals the Jags are still chasing safety depth after Caleb Ransaw’s season-ending injury. Jabrill Peppers, released by New England, remains a potential splash option for Jacksonville.

The Giants lock in a 17‑man practice squad with six veteran slots, a potential International Pathway pick and a likely Jude McAtamney slot, with salaries counting against the cap. Dante Miller, Elijah Chatman, Lil'Jordan Humphrey, Trace Ford and Dee Williams headline the additions, bringing backfield depth, interior line versatility, receiver size and edge/punt‑return upside. Dulcich’s preseason efficiency adds context to the depth chart. Be on alert for waiver activity as Beau Brade and Rico Payton changed hands; more claims loom as the process wraps today.

Beau Brade lands with the New York Giants after Baltimore cut him, shifting depth safety duties to a fresh face while Giants hunt for youth in the secondary. The Ravens also waved undrafted rookies Reuben Lowery III, Keyon Martin and Jay Higgins IV, who earned spots on the 53-man roster, leaving Brade to seek a new home. Brade, undrafted in 2024 but productive at Maryland, brings tackling instincts and special-teams potential more than immediate fantasy relevance.

His Maryland days included a team-leading 85 tackles in 2022 and 75 in 2023, plus a track record of forced fumbles and deflections. Drafted in the UFL later that year by the Brahmas, Brade’s path to NFL impact hinges on special-teams performance and quick adaptation to Giants’ sub-packages. Fantasy managers should monitor Giants’ safety depth and Brade’s development in practice to gauge any late-season upside.

Kyle Hamilton's four-year Ravens extension reshapes the safety market and strengthens Baltimore's elite secondary for fantasy leagues. The deal follows a breakout Pro Bowl season, with Hamilton delivering 100 tackles, a league-leading ball-hawking presence, and versatile coverage that lets Baltimore deploy multiple safeties on the field.

The contract, coming after Hamilton already slots in as a top playmaker, aligns with the Ravens’ plan to leverage a dynamic back seven, support from Marcus Williams, and a growing depth chart headlined by Beau Brade and Tyler Linderbaum for future fantasy ceiling boosts.

As training camp approaches, the Baltimore Ravens have several players facing pivotal moments in their careers. Although the team's roster is deep, a few key positions remain competitive, particularly on the offensive line and in the secondary. Among those with the most to prove are offensive lineman Ben Cleveland, who has struggled to secure a starting role, and cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis, who is transitioning to safety amid fierce competition. Rookie receiver Devontez Walker aims to move beyond a disappointing debut season, while running back Rasheen Ali seeks to carve out a niche in a crowded backfield.

Linebacker Trenton Simpson looks to reclaim a starting spot after falling out of favor last year, and safety Beau Brade competes for increased playing time following an injury to a teammate. Each player will need to showcase their skills during camp and the preseason to avoid becoming roster casualties. The Ravens' coaching staff will be keeping a close eye on these battles as they prepare for the upcoming season.
