Fuller agrees to 1-year deal with Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins are signing former Texans wide receiver Will Fuller to a one-year contract, according to a league source not authorized to speak publicly.
The Texans opted to not keep Fuller, declining to make him their franchise player.
Fuller is suspended for the first game of next season after serving the first five games of a sixgame suspension last year for a violation of the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy.
Fuller caught a careerhigh 53 passes for 879 yards and eight touchdowns before the suspension.
Raiders, Martin near agreement
Former Texans starting center Nick Martin is signing with the Las Vegas Raiders, according to a league source not authorized to speak publicly.
A former second-round draft pick from Notre Dame, Martin was due a $7.25 million base salary and had an $8.75 million salary-cap figure.
The younger brother of Dallas Cowboys Pro Bowl guard Zach Martin and a former Pro Bowl alternate, Nick Martin was originally signed to a three-year, $33 million contract two years ago that included $18.351 million guaranteed.
Godwin accepts $15.98M tender
Tampa Bay receiver Chris Godwin signed his franchise tender worth $15.983 million and fully guaranteed for the 2021 season.
Godwin, 25, overcame injuries last season to
catch 65 passes for 840 yards and seven touchdowns.
Las Vegas adding Drake to RB mix
The Raiders have gotten Josh Jacobs some muchneeded help at running back.
Kenyan Drake, who gained 955 yards and scored 10 touchdowns last season for the Arizona Cardinals, agreed to a free-agent deal with the Raiders. The transaction was first reported by Drake’s agency on Twitter and confirmed by a team source.
His 239 carries, 955 yards and 10 touchdowns last season were all career highs. In five seasons, Drake has 695 carries for 3,130 yards and he averages 4.5 yards per carry.
Trubisky heading to Bills as backup
The Buffalo Bills agreed to sign former Chicago Bears starter Mitch Trubisky to a one-year contract to serve as Josh Allen’s primary backup.
Trubisky was the No. 2 pick in the 2017 draft who
has struggled through inconsistencies since leading the Bears to the playoffs in 2018.
Trubisky went 29-21 with Chicago and lost the confidence of the team prior to last season. The Bears declined to pick up the fifth-year option on the quarterback’s contract, while also acquiring Nick Foles in a trade with Jacksonville.
49ers sign 6-time Pro Bowler Mack
Six-time Pro Bowl center Alex Mack is reuniting with coach Kyle Shanahan after signing a contract with the San Francisco 49ers.
The 49ers announced the three-year deal with Mack, one day after agreeing to give left tackle Trent Williams a $138.1 million, six-year deal to remain in San Francisco.
“We are excited to add another Pro Bowl player to our offensive line,” general manager John Lynch said.
The deals with Williams and Mack go a long way to solidifying an offensive line that struggled in pass protection last season.
