Broncos sign second-round pick RJ Harvey

Details
17 July 2025

Another second-round pick is set to sign his rookie contract.

Via Mike Klis of 9News Denver, the Broncos have agreed to terms with running back RJ Harvey.

Harvey, 24, was the No. 60 overall pick of this year’s draft out of UCF. He was a first-team All-Big 12 selection in 2024.

The Broncos have now gotten deals done with each member of their 2025 draft class, with the club agreeing to terms with first-round pick Jahdae Barron earlier this week.

Defensive end Shemar Stewart is the only first-round pick without a contract, as he and the Bengals have been in a contract dispute throughout the offseason.

Denver’s rookies reported on July 16 for training camp with veterans set to report on July 22.

Mike Williams informs Chargers of his retirement

Details
17 July 2025

When receiver Mike Williams elected to return to the Chargers this offseason, he said that he had something to prove after a “terrible” 2024 with the Jets and Steelers.

But then Williams landed on the physically unable to perform list to start training camp.

Now, Williams has elected to hang up his cleats.

According to multiple reports, Williams has informed the Chargers that he is retiring.

Williams, 30, was the Chargers’ first draft selection after the club relocated to Los Angeles in 2017. He was the No. 7 overall pick of that year’s draft out of Clemson.

But Williams’ career was marred by injury. He dealt with a back issue in his rookie season and had another one in 2022. Then he suffered a torn ACL in 2023, which likely hindered him in 2024. He was able to appear in every game in a season only twice — in 2018 with the Chargers, and then he played 18 games last season — nine with the Jets and nine with the Steelers.

Williams eclipsed 1,000 yards twice — in 2019 and 2021, both with the Chargers. His best season was the latter, as he ended the year with 76 receptions for a team-high 1,146 yards while also leading the team with nine receiving touchdowns.

Williams will end his career having appeared in 106 games with 67 starts. He recorded 330 receptions for 5,104 yards with 32 touchdowns.

Bears agree to terms with second-rounder Ozzy Trapilo

Details
17 July 2025

It took a while to get the ball rolling, but the 2025 second-round picks are starting to sign with their NFL teams.

According to multiple reports, offensive tackle Ozzy Trapilo has agreed to terms with the Bears. He joins Shemar Turner in getting his four-year rookie deal done in Chicago.

Wide receiver Luther Burden was the other Bears second-rounder this year and he remains unsigned.

Albert Breer of SI.com reports that Trapilo, who was the 56th overall pick, got the first two years of the contract fully guaranteed along with 72 percent of the third season. The size of the guarantees in second-round pacts became the holdup after the top two picks in the round had their deals fully guaranteed.

Trapilo started at right tackle for Boston College the last two years and also had experience playing on the left side of the line.
