Etienne's value is up, but QB Shough's situation is uncertain [https://x.com/RotoWire/status/2031739489580707987].
Kenneth Walker's arrival in Kansas City is a major move, highlighted by his Super Bowl LX MVP performance where he rushed for 135 yards. The Chiefs, seeking to bolster their run game, signed Walker to a three-year, $45 million contract. Walker's ability to break tackles and create explosive plays is expected to provide another dimension to Kansas City's offense. Travis Etienne's move to the Saints includes a four-year, $52 million contract. The Saints are looking to revitalize their backfield with Etienne's dual-threat capabilities. Etienne, a Louisiana native, returns home after generating 3,798 rushing yards and 25 touchdowns in his time with the Jaguars. Mike Evans joins the 49ers on a three-year deal. The 49ers signed Evans to bolster their receiving corps, hoping he'll be "the missing piece". Evans, who spent his first 12 seasons with the Buccaneers, cited the 49ers' contender status and quarterback Brock Purdy as key factors in his decision. Romeo Doubs signed a four-year deal with the Patriots worth approximately $70 million. The Patriots expect Doubs to become a primary target for quarterback Drake Maye. Doubs, who had 55 receptions for 724 yards and six touchdowns in 2025 with the Packers, fills a void left by the departure of Stefon Diggs.
