Baltimore Ravens: Add a Center
The Baltimore Ravens lost Pro Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum in free agency. They haven’t adequately replaced him, and general manager Eric DeCosta admitted that the team is still searching after the draft.
“There will be options for us, potentially terminated vets, potentially trade options,” DeCosta told The Lounge podcast (h/t Ryan Mink of the Ravens’ official website).
While it’s unclear which centers might be available via a trade, vets like Ethan Pocic and Ryan Bates remain unsigned.
Cincinnati Bengals: Sign DeAndre Hopkins
Wide receiver isn’t a glaring need for the Cincinnati Bengals, who have Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, and Andrei Iosivas at the top of the depth chart. However, the Bengals lack dependable depth behind those three, and veteran DeAndre Hopkins looms as a logical addition.
During Kentucky Derby Weekend, Hopkins told Sports Illustrated’s Claudette Montana that he’d like to play with quarterback Joe Burrow before his career is over.
Cleveland Browns: Part with QB Dillon Gabriel
The Cleveland Browns are holding a quarterback competition that is essentially a two-man race between Deshaun Watson and Shedeur Sanders—and Watson is the early leader, according to The Athletic’s Zac Jackson.
However, Cleveland needs to develop its entire quarterback room, especially given the team’s recent injury history at the position. With rookie sixth-round pick Taylen Green in the equation, and only so many reps to go around in training camp, the Browns should look to trade Dillon Gabriel before camp.
Gabriel was a third-round pick in 2025 and has the intangibles to be a decent long-term backup. However, he doesn’t have the physical tools to be a starter and isn’t a great fit for Todd Monken’s offense.
Pittsburgh Steelers: Add Another Receiver
The Pittsburgh Steelers finally re-signed Aaron Rodgers, and the quarterback has admitted that this will be his final NFL season. If Pittsburgh hopes to make Rodgers’ last ride a memorable one, it should add a little more to its receiving corps.
DK Metcalf and Michael Pittman Jr. should make a solid receiver duo. However, rookies Germie Bernard and Kaden Wetjen are unproven, and Pittsburgh’s overall receiver depth is lacking. Adding a vet like Hopkins or Stefon Diggs would help give the Steelers a playoff-caliber offense.
