The Steelers are reportedly finalizing a trade to send Pickens to the Cowboys, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Per Schefter, the deal -- which is expected to be completed Wednesday -- would result in the Cowboys sending a 2026 third-round pick and a 2027 fifth-round choice to the Steelers in exchange for Pickens and a 2026 sixth-round pick. With Dallas, the 24-year-old Pickens, who is coming off a 2024 regular season in which he recorded 59 catches (on 103 targets) for 900 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games, would provide QB Dak Prescott with another quality wideout target to work alongside CeeDee Lamb, who caught 101 passes in 15 contests last season.

Lockhart (undisclosed) was waived by the Chiefs with an injury designation Tuesday, Charles Goldman of AtoZSports.com reports.

Lockhart will head to waivers despite having just signed with the team Monday as an undrafted free agent. If he clears waivers, 6-foot-3 receiver could land on Kansas City's injured reserve, which would force him to miss the entire 2025 campaign.

Carr (shoulder) has been to New Orleans twice in recent weeks to meet with the Saints' team doctor, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.

Carr ended the 2025 season on the sidelines with a broken left hand and an oblique injury that he suffered in Week 14 against the Giants, but it has now come to light that his current shoulder issue stems from that same game. The quarterback apparently didn't notice the injury to his throwing shoulder when he was shut down from throwing while recovering from the aforementioned injuries. Once he began ramping up for the team's spring program, he noticed the shoulder issue. Carr has yet to make a decision on if he'll undergo surgery on the ailing shoulder and his availability for the 2025 campaign remains unclear, but a decision is expected to be made in the near future.

As the Browns' OTAs approach, Strong is slated to compete for slotting in a backfield that includes returnee Jerome Ford, as well as rookies Quinshon Judkins and Dylan Sampson, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

A concussion prevented Strong from suiting up for the Browns' season finale in 2024, but now that he's presumably past the issue, the 2022 fourth-rounder -- who is in the last year of his rookie contract -- will look to retain his depth role in the team's backfield. Additionally, Strong remains an option in the return game, but as long as Judkins and Sampson stay healthy, it remains to be seen how much of a role in the offense Strong will see after logging 26 carries for 108 yards and a 14-104-0 receiving line on 22 targets in 14 games last year while working alongside Ford, Nick Chubb and D'Onta Foreman.

Deguara signed with the Cardinals on Monday, Zach Gershman of the team's official site reports.

A 2020 third-round pick of the Packers who spent 2024 with the Jaguars, Deguara has 50 career catches for 450 yards and two touchdowns, including three catches for 14 yards a year ago. He has played on over 800 special-teams snaps over the course of his career, and he could earn a role that way on the Cardinals. Arizona's tight end room is led by Trey McBride, who caught 111 passes for 1,146 yards in 2024, and then Tip Reiman and Elijah Higgins.

Major signed with the Ravens as an undrafted free agent Monday, Glenn Erby of USA Today reports.

The running back never exceeded 78 carries in any of his six collegiate seasons with Oklahoma and Minnesota. In 2024 with latter university, he finished with 352 rushing yards and three rushing scores to go with 20 catches for 144 yards and a touchdown. Baltimore's top two backs, Derrick Henry and Justice Hill, were big contributors to the team's elite offense in 2024, though there should be roster spots available behind them.

Pitz signed with the Ravens as an undrafted free agent Monday, Ryan Mink of the team's official site reports.

The 6-foot-6, 245-pound Minnesota Duluth product caught 71 balls for 940 yards and 17 touchdowns during a four-year college career, including a 33-360-2 line in 11 games last year. Pitz joins a team with two starting-caliber tight ends at the moment in Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely, though he can perhaps compete for a spot behind them.

Lockhart signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent Monday, Matt McMullen of the team's official site reports.

The wide receiver caught 53 passes for 983 yards and five scores in 2024 at San Jose State. Lockhart also averaged 18.5 yards per catch last season. His big-play ability should at least get him a real look from a team known to value that skill.

Dalena signed with the Chiefs as an undrafted free agent Monday, Matt McMullen of the team's official site reports.

The 5-foot-9, 180-pound Fresno State product put up some impressive statistics in college that suggest a well-rounded game. He caught 64 passes for 1,065 yards and eight touchdowns in 2024, including five catches of 50-plus yards. Dalena also dropped just four passes on 178 collegiate targets, per McMullen. The wide receiver also played on more than 600 special teams snaps in college, which should help his case for a roster spot on a team with four established NFL receivers in Xavier Worthy, Rashee Rice (knee), Hollywood Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster, as well as 2025 fourth-round pick Jalen Royals.

The Ravens have released Tucker.

Per Kevin Patra of NFL.com, Tucker -- who had been with the Ravens since 2012 -- remains under league investigation for potential improper conduct, and the team now has elected to part ways with the veteran kicker, who converted 22 of his 30 field-goal attempts over 17 regular-season games in 2024. Tyler Loop, who was selected in the sixth round of last month's draft, thus appears to be in line to handle Baltimore's kicking duties this coming season, though it's possible the team could add some depth at the position ahead of training camp.
