The Los Angeles Chargers have signed Sony Michel after he was released this week by the Miami Dolphins.

Michel played for the Los Angeles Rams last season where he rushed for 540 yards between Week 13 and Week 18.

Michel signed a one-year contract with the Dolphins this offseason but was the odd man out in a crowded backfield. The Dolphins have Chase Edmonds, Raheem Mostert, Salvon Ahmed and Myles Gaskin on their roster at running back, as well as fullback Alec Ingold.

O.J. Howard is expected to sign with the Cincinnati Bengals after visiting with the defending AFC champions.

The tight end will need to pass a physical to make things official.

Howard, who played five seasons for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, was released by the Buffalo Bills on Tuesday.

The Kansas City Chiefs have released Josh Gordon.

Gordon said a public farewell to the Chiefs and their fans in a pair of tweets Tuesday, appearing to confirm his exit.

"Appreciate all the @Chiefs kingdom has done for me and my family this past year. Thanks for the opportunity and the many memories," he tweeted and then added: "Excited to see where the next part of my football journey takes me #itsabusiness #dreamchasing."

Between 2014 and 2020, Gordon missed three full seasons while suspended. 

Gordon played in 12 games for the Chiefs last season with five catches, 32 yards and a touchdown. 

The Las Vegas Raiders and Darren Waller are discussing a deal that would make him the NFL's highest-paid tight end, according to a report.

George Kittle is currently the highest-paid at the position in terms of average money per year ($15 million). The report states that the Raiders and Waller are discussing a deal with an annual average of $16 million.

Waller has two years remaining on his current contract, which carries an average value of $7.575 million.

The Baltimore Ravens are expected to sign Kenyan Drake, according to a source.

Drake, 28, was released by the Las Vegas Raiders last week.

The Ravens' running back room is banged up. J.K. Dobbins (knee) is uncertain for Week 1 and Gus Edwards (knee) will miss the first four weeks of the season after being placed on the PUP list.

Baltimore leaned on Mike Davis, Justice Hill and Tyler Badie in the preseason.

Jessie Bates returned to the Cincinnati Bengals Tuesday and will sign his franchise tag, according to a source.

The Bengals are preparing to host the Los Angeles Rams for joint practices this week.

Bates had skipped the entire offseason and the bulk of training camp after the sides failed to agree to a long-term contract by the July 15 deadline.

The safety is due $12.91 million on the franchise tag in 2022.

The Las Vegas Raiders plan to release Kenyan Drake and absorb a $3.6 million salary-cap hit this year and $4.4 million in 2023 as a result.

Drake told the Associated Press that general manager Dave Ziegler called him personally to let him know the team was moving on.

"He let me know how they were planning on moving forward, how really uncustomary it was for him to tell me himself, and that was just a testament to the respect he has for me as a player, and as a man," the running back said.

Drake, 28, was returning from a broken right ankle suffered in Week 13 last season. He had played in all three of the Raiders' preseason games thus far.

Jay Glazer reported during Sunday's Fox Sports pregame show that the Baltimore Ravens have offered Lamar Jackson more money than the Arizona Cardinals gave Kyler Murray earlier this offseason.

The report added that the five-year, fully-guaranteed contract Deshaun Watson received from the Cleveland Browns is complicating matters.

Murray's deal has a new-money average on a five-year extension of $46.1 million for seven years.

Watson's deal pays out $46 million per year over five years, all of which is fully guaranteed.

Glazer called a deal between Jackson and the Ravens an "uphill battle."

Roquan Smith ended his hold-in with the Chicago Bears on Saturday and participated in practice for the first time during training camp.

Smith, 25, said he plans to play out the final year of his rookie contract, where he is set to earn $9.7 million on his fifth-year option, and that negotiations are "over right now."

"I thought it was very distasteful, to say the least," Smith said of contract talks between himself and the Bears. "Wasn't what I anticipated, nor ... what I expected from the situation, but I'm grateful for the fans, all the loyal fans and everyone, the players as well in the locker room and the city of Chicago that stood behind me throughout this process. It means a lot to myself.

"But now, I'm just shifting my focus to the season and more so just focused on being the best teammate I can be to those guys in the locker room."

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers have signed Carl Nassib to a one-year deal, according to a source.

The move comes after outside linebacker Cam Gill suffered a Lisfranc injury in Tampa Bay's preseason opener Saturday.

Nassib spent the last two seasons with the Las Vegas Raiders. Before that, he started 17 of 29 games in a two-year stint with the Buccaneers.
