Five-time All-Pro and former Chiefs wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has agreed to a contract with the Baltimore Ravens. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the one-year deal could be worth up to $6 million with incentives.
Buffalo continues to be active
Arguably, the most surprising news of the day came when Adam Schefter said that sources told him five-time Pro Bowler Joey Bosa signed a one-year, $12.6 million contract with the Buffalo Bills. Some NFL analysts believed that the 2016 Defensive Rookie of the Year would reunite with his brother, Nick Bosa, in San Francisco.
According to Ian Rapoport, the Bills also added former Steelers defensive lineman Larry Ogunjobi on a one-year deal worth $8.3 million that includes $8 million in guaranteed money.
Buffalo re-signed backup running back Ty Johnson to a two-year contract worth $5 million, according to the NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero.
According to Adam Schefter, the Bills also gave safety Demar Hamlin a one-year contract extension.

KC steals a defender from their rival and frees up a ton of cap space
The Kansas City Chiefs signed former Chargers cornerback Kristian Fulton to a two-year contract worth $20 million with $15 million guaranteed, his agent told Adam Schefter.
According to a source who spoke to ESPN’s Field Yates, Kansas City also restructured the deals of quarterback Patrick Mahomes and defensive lineman Chris Jones, freeing up almost $50 million in cap space this off-season. This will give the team more flexibility to re-sign players and bring in free agents.
