Gonzalez (shoulder) said Tuesday he feels "healthy" but is unsure how much he'll participate in OTAs, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

Gonzalez, a 2023 first-round pick, had a strong start to his career before suffering a season-ending right torn labrum in just Week 4. Per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, Gonzalez is still rehabbing and focusing on strengthening his shoulder, so it sounds like he may be a limited participant at best when OTAs kick off May 20. Barring any setbacks, there are no concerns about Gonzalez gaining full medical clearance in advance of the 2024 regular season, and returning to a starting role at cornerback.

Haener appears to be the early frontrunner to serve as the QB2 for the Saints this offseason, John Hendrix of Sports Illustrated reports.

Haener was suspended for the first six games of his 2023 campaign and has yet to make his NFL debut. However, the 6-foot-1 signal-caller should have a chance to establish himself as QB2 after New Orleans made several changes at the quarterback position this offseason. Last year's No. 2 QB Jameis Winston signed with the Colts in March. Meanwhile, the Saints signed veteran backup Nathan Peterman and fourth-year pro Kellen Mond this offseason before selecting Spencer Rattler in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. Carr is still clearly set as the starter, but the competition to be his primary reserve figures to be wide open this offseason. Haener's experience within the Saints' quarterback room should give him an immediate leg up on Peterman, Mond and Rattler. The 33-year-old Taysom Hill also is listed as a quarterback by the Saints, but he's better described as a multi-use player who regularly slots in at positions across the offense and special teams. It's highly unlikely that the team will carry more than three quarterbacks on the active roster during the 2024 campaign. Therefore, it will be worth monitoring how this competition shapes up during offseason workouts and training camp while projecting this QB depth chart.

Peat signed with the Raiders on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

The offensive guard and three-time Pro Bowler spent his first nine seasons in New Orleans. Peat has started 102 of his 111 career games, but he is listed as the Raiders' backup left guard behind Dylan Parham.

Davidson re-signed with the Titans on Monday after spending the 2023 season with the team.

The defensive tackle played in five games and on 153 defensive snaps last year, recording 10 tackles. Davidson finished with 29 tackles in two seasons with the Falcons before missing the 2022 season with a knee injury. The 2020 second-round pick is behind Jeffery Simmons on Tennessee's depth chart.

Suits signed with the Jets on Monday as an undrafted free agent, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

The quarterback tried out for the team during its rookie minicamp. Suits completed 56 percent of his passes and recorded 1,919 yards, 13 touchdowns and 10 interceptions in 2023 with Houston Christian. The Jets signed Tyrod Taylor in March to be Aaron Rodgers' backup.

Jones signed with the Ravens as an undrafted free agent Monday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.

The quarterback tried out for the Ravens during the team's rookie minicamp this last weekend. Jones spent his final collegiate season at Cincinnati and finished with 2,219 yards, 18 touchdowns and 10 interceptions to go along with 560 rushing yards and four more scores.

Peasley signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent Monday, Ethan Greenberg and John Pullano of the team's official site report.

The quarterback played his last two collegiate seasons at Wyoming and recorded a 17-9 record to go along with 3,565 yards, 30 touchdowns and 14 interceptions. Peasley also played four years at Utah State and made two starts.

Stanley signed with the Packers as an undrafted free agent Monday.

The wide receiver spent his last two collegiate seasons with Iowa State, starting nine games and recording 48 catches for 559 yards and a touchdown. Stanley also caught 70 balls for 820 yards and four touchdowns across four seasons at Colorado. The rookie joins a crowded Green Bay WR depth chart ahead of OTAs.

Hicks signed with the Packers as an undrafted free agent Monday.

The wide receiver caught 72 passes for 1,139 yards and 17 touchdowns over his final two college seasons with the University of Albany. Hicks also played collegiate ball for Central Michigan and Akron. The rookie joins a deep Green Bay WR depth chart ahead of OTAs.

The Panthers agreed to terms with Penny on Monday.

Penny is now 28 years old and spent last season in Philadelphia, where he appeared in just three regular-season games and was routinely a healthy scratch on game days. When healthy in Seattle from 2018-2022, he was electric with the ball in his hands, averaging a lethal 5.7 yards per carry on 337 rushing attempts, but an inability to stay on the field was his downfall. He has a history with new Panthers coach Dave Canales from their time together in Seattle, and Penny gives the Panthers backfield some more experience behind Chuba Hubbard and rookie Jonathon Brooks. There has been chatter that Miles Sanders' time may be running out with the team after just one season in Carolina.
