NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reports that Penn State Nittany Lions edge rusher Abdul Carter (foot) is visiting with the New England Patriots on Monday. The 21-year-old has officially visited with each of the top four teams in the NFL Draft. Carter recently got the excellent news that the stress reaction in his foot is healing and won't require surgery. According to Pelissero, he's "on track" medically. The Philadelphia native was a menace in 2024, racking up 68 tackles, 12 sacks, and a whopping 24 tackles for loss. He's explosive, relentless, and physical at the point of attack, making him an excellent choice at the top of the draft. Per the NFL's grading system (athleticism estimated), Carter has an even 7.00 prospect grade -- marking him as a Pro Bowl talent.

According to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo is slated for his final two Top 30 visits this week. The teams were not disclosed. Rapoport also noted that the 23-year-old has already visited with the Arizona Cardinals, New York Giants, and Cleveland Browns. Skattebo had a wildly productive 2024 season as a Sun Devil, totaling 2,316 yards and 24 touchdowns (338 touches). Because he enters with a deep, capable running back class, he may fall in the draft process. Still, the California native passes the eye test and possesses elite contact balance with a three-down skill set. Skattebo projects to give any of the aforementioned teams an instant boost out of the backfield and would garner second-string viability if not immediately push for touches.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Dallas Cowboys linebacker Micah Parsons was present at the start of the team's offseason workout program. This is encouraging news, as Parsons and Dallas have yet to agree to terms on a new contract. The superstar pass rusher has stated that he wants to remain a Cowboy, and he's showing it with his actions by appearing for the team's voluntary offseason training. He's been electric since Dallas selected him twelfth overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, authoring four straight double-digit sack campaigns. Parsons may have been on his way to a career-high in sacks last season, but he reached just 12 while missing four games with a high ankle sprain. A deal will likely get done eventually -- potentially following the draft -- but Dallas may again be driving up the price on one of their home-grown stars.

The Chicago Bears and defensive back Kyler Gordon have agreed on a three-year, $40 million extension with $31.25 million guaranteed. He'll now be with the team through the 2028 season. The deal makes the 25-year-old the highest-paid slot cornerback in the NFL ($13.33 million annual average value). Gordon has been solid for the Bears since they took him No. 39 overall in the 2022 NFL Draft, racking up at least 61 tackles in each of his first three seasons. In 2024, he notched 75 takedowns (48 solo), four tackles for loss, three recovered fumbles, one forced fumble, and a half sack. The Washington product will continue to lock down the nickel spot for Chicago in 2025 and figures to get back in the interception column after picking off five passes in his first two campaigns.
