5. The 49ers averted including injury-risk veterans in March’s free company, they usually stayed true to that this week. The Jets’ Jermaine Johnson (2024 Achilles) and the Dolphins’ Bradley Chubb (2019 & ’23 ACL) stayed put.
6. Bengals defensive finish Trey Hendrickson might have been tempting and well worth the expensive funding, each in commerce compensation and future wage ($30 million this 12 months, attainable franchise tag subsequent 12 months). He has been coping with a hip harm the previous month.
