Mario Edwards

Edwards (knee) had a visit with the Texans on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Edwards missed the final game of the 2023 season due to a knee injury. His visit in Houston indicates he has put that injury behind him. The journeyman recorded 21 tackles (15 solo), one pass defensed and one forced fumble across 15 games for Seattle last season. He is now looking for a new opportunity.

Chase Young
EDR/IL NO (11)
Mon 3/18/24 7:01 PM

The Saints and Young agreed to a contract Monday.
EDGE Analysis
According to Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com, Young's new deal will be for one year. The No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 Draft, Young earned Defensive Rookie of the Year honors to kick off his career, but his next two seasons were derailed by injuries, and he split 2023 between the Commanders and 49ers. With 16.5 sacks in 43 games in his first four campaigns, he'll be a part of a New Orleans pass rush that features Cameron Jordan and Carl Granderson.

Joshua Dobbs
QB MIN (13)
Mon 3/18/24 6:37 PM

The 49ers and Dobbs agreed to a contract Monday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
In 13 games (12 starts) between the Cardinals and Vikings this past season, Dobbs completed 262 of 417 (62.8 percent) of his passes for 2,464 yards, 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. He also was viable as a runner, averaging 5.5 yards on his 77 carries while scoring six TDs on the ground. Brock Purdy is the unquestioned starting quarterback for San Francisco, but Dobbs' recent on-field work should give him a leg up on the backup job ahead of holdover Brandon Allen.

Rico Dowdle
RB DAL (7)
Mon 3/18/24 6:31 PM

Dowdle is set to re-sign with the Cowboys, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Following the free-agent departure of Tony Pollard, Dowdle is poised to reclaim his role in a Dallas backfield that also currently includes Deuce Vaughn, Malik Davis and Snoop Conner. Chances are, the Cowboys will add further RB depth via free agency or the draft, so until the team's personnel at the position is settled, Dowdle's fantasy upside for the 2024 season will be difficult to gauge.

Alexander Mattison
RB LV (13)
Mon 3/18/24 6:03 PM

Mattison is in line to sign with the Raiders, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
In 16 games for the Vikings during the 2023 regular season, Mattison had 180 carries for 700 yards and caught 30 of his 44 targets for 192 yards and three receiving TDs. With the Raiders, Mattison -- who turns 26 in June -- is slated to provide the team with needed backfield depth and a complementary option alongside 2022 fourth-rounder Zamir White following the free-agent departure of Josh Jacobs. Assuming White serves as Las Vegas' top RB option, Mattison's weekly upside will be modest, but if White is injured or struggles at all as the 2024 season progresses, Mattison could reenter the fantasy lineup equation.

Chase Young
EDR/IL NO (11)
Mon 3/18/24 5:04 PM

Young is expected to sign a contract with the Saints after visiting with the team Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Young, the No. 2 overall pick of the 2020 NFL Draft and former Defensive Rookie of the Year, was acquired by the 49ers prior to last season's trade deadline. He tallied 2.5 sacks across nine regular-season games with San Francisco but was allowed to walk in free agency, where it looks like he'll get a fresh start in New Orleans. Young looks to finally be back in top form after knee issues significantly hampered him in 2021 and 2022, and it would be an ideal situation for him to pair with (and learn from) veteran defensive end Cameron Jordan with the Saints.

Bradley Bozeman
LAC (5)
Mon 3/18/24 4:15 PM

Bozeman is signing a one-year contract with the Chargers on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bozeman was released ahead of the new league year last Wednesday in a cost-savings move by the Panthers. The veteran offensive lineman started all 17 games at center for Carolina last season, but he also has experience playing left guard. He at least should provide quality depth on the Chargers offensive line, if not earn a starting job in 2024.

QTavierre Thomas
CB TB (5)
Mon 3/18/24 4:08 PM

Thomas (hamstring) is signing a one-year contract with the Buccaneers on Monday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thomas spent the last three seasons in Houston, with his 2023 campaign cut short after suffering a hamstring injury in Week 14. The veteran corner is expected to compete for the nickel job and contribute on special teams, according to Auman.

QDavid Bakhtiari
GB (6)
Mon 3/18/24 3:22 PM

Bakhtiari (knee) plans to play in 2024, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Bakhtiari was released by the Packers last Monday after missing the majority of the team's games since late 2020 due to complications with his left knee. However, that doesn't mean he's ready to hang up his cleats. According to Rapoport, the 32-year-old is diligently rehabbing and focused on returning to play. If Bakhtiari can prove himself healthy, the two-time first-team All-Pro tackle likely will be able to garner interest from multiple NFL teams.

Jack Driscoll
MIA (10)
Mon 3/18/24 3:08 PM

Driscoll signed with the Dolphins on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
Driscoll now will suit up for Miami after spending the first four seasons of his career with the Eagles. The Auburn product has mostly served in a reserve role during his career thus far, but he may have the opportunity to earn a starting gig with the Dolphins next season.
