Geno Smith is being traded to Las Vegas Raiders for a third round pick, per sources.

Related Players: Aidan O'Connell, Desmond Ridder, Sam Howell

Fantasy Impact:

We'll see where the Seahawks end up landing, but we can presume that the answer probably isn't Sam Howell. As for the Raiders, they now have a far more consistent option to bridge the gap to their future franchise QB.

Jaguars plan to release veteran WR Christian Kirk, per source.

Related Players: Brian Thomas Jr., Gabe Davis, Parker Washington

Fantasy Impact:

Kirk will look for new employment on an increasingly fertile WR free agent landscape after a disappointing 27-catch 2024 performance in which he logged only eight games. Brian Thomas Jr. is already appropriately earmarked for a WR1 season, but this certainly doesn't hurt things.

Seahawks WR DK Metcalf requests trade

Two-time Pro Bowl WR DK Metcalf has requested a trade and the Seahawks have agreed to explore options.
.
Days before free agency, the 27-year-old Metcalf immediately becomes the top receiver available.

Related Players: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Jake Bobo

Fantasy Impact:

There's no doubt there are plenty of teams that would be in the market for Metcalf's services, but it remains to be seen if this is a power move after Tyler Lockett's release or not. If Metcalf does end up leaving, JSN will absolutely rocket up WR rankings.
