Thomas Rawls has signed with the New York Jets.

Rawls was an undrafted rookie in 2015.

Rawls started just 10 games the past two years after being slated to take over the full-time duty. He earned just 58 carries and averaged 2.7 yards per carry in 2017.

The Kansas City Chiefs have signed Matt McGloin.

McGloin joins Chad Henne as possible backups at quarterback behind Patrick Mahomes.

McGloin split time between the Eagles and Texans last season.

The Oakland Raiders have released punter Marquette King.

King was originally signed by the club as an undrafted free agent in 2012 and spent his first six years with the Raiders. 

King had a 46.8 yards per punt average.

The Minnesota Vikings have signed Kendall Wright.

Wright will compete for Minnesota's No. 3 wide receiver spot behind Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs.

Wright was the only Chicago receiver to eclipse the 50-catch barrier (59) in 2017.

Wright was a first round pick in 2012 by the Titans.

The New England Patriots lack a succession plan for Tom Brady and Robert Kraft is aware that a quarterback will have to be drafted soon.

"I'm going to put my fan hat on, and obviously at some point we have to," Kraft said. "Not just that, but think what happened in the '08 season when in the first quarter against Kansas City, Tom [Brady] goes out. How many people would have said that Matt Cassel would have led us to an 11-5 season? I put my faith and confidence in Bill [Belichick]. He knows his responsibilities. Anything can happen, even if Tom comes in [and is in] tip-top shape.

"Part of why the networks pay us the funding they do, and the reason this is the best entertainment product in America, is you don't know -- one play can change a whole season. One play with one person. To do a good job managing an NFL franchise, we've always said understanding quality depth management, that's our business."

Since taking Brady in 2000, the Patriots have drafted eight quarterbacks. The highest of those selections was Jimmy Garoppolo, who was taken in the second round in 2014.

Mike Pereira expects officials to struggle to handle the NFL's rule changes regarding defenders lowering their heads for contact.

Pereira, the league's former vice president of officiating, discussed the topic with Sirius XM NFL Radio.

"I think it's going to be impossible to officiate," he said. "You'll see the same things happen with this as we've seen with the crown-of-the-helmet rule: very few calls. I think most of it will be taken care of after the fact with potential fines."

Bruce Allen says he believes that everyone in football should be judged on wins and losses.

"Wins and losses is the most important statistic when it comes to an equipment manager, a team president, a quarterback, a running back, a guard or a coach," Allen said.

Allen believes the Washington Redskins upgraded at quarterback after acquiring Alex Smith and letting Kirk Cousins walk in free agency.

However, Allen's record as Washington's team president is 52-75-1 (.410).

Randy Gregory is preparing to apply for reinstatement to the NFL, according to Jerry Jones.

The Dallas Cowboys are hopeful, but not confident that the defensive end will play in 2018.

"I'm not confident but I do see where his heart is," Jones said. "He's one of the smartest people that have played this game. By documentation he is. So he's smart. That's a tremendous step. Of course he's had that same IQ since he's had these issues. That's the issues. This is definitely a medical issue. There's no doubt in my mind (it's) medical. That's another campaign right there."

Gregory has had multiple violations of the NFL's substance-abuse policy when it comes to marijuana. A combination of failed and missed tests caused his season-long suspension in 2017.

He is eligible to apply for reinstatement and has been meeting what Jones called "subjective," and "factual" standards in the process.

Geno Smith is visiting the Seattle Seahawks.

Last week, Smith visited the Los Angeles Chargers.

Russell Wilson is the only quarterback currently on Seattle's roster.

Smith played well last season as Eli Manning's backup with the Giants.

Deshaun Watson excelled in the Houston Texans' offense before he tore his ACL in early November.

Despite that success, the Texans are installing an entirely different offense this offseason with the young quarterback in mind.

"Why put in an entirely different offense? He really told me everybody saw what we did with Deshaun this past season," James Palmer recalled of a conversation with Bill O'Brien for The NFL Network. "They're changing things and it's not even completely put into place yet. They're still putting it all together.

"And he said the teaching portion of this is going to be the challenge because of Deshaun's specific skill set that is so different and so lethal at the same time. ... But they are changing things up dramatically on the offensive side of the ball."
