KaVontae Turpin

ANALYSIS
The report notes that Turpin will become the "highest-paid special teams player in NFL history", although part of the motivation for re-signing him is that he's also a significant contributor on offense. He caught 31 of 52 targets for 420 yards and two TDs last season, adding 16 carries for 92 yards, 18 punt returns for 187 yards (with one TD) and 27 kick returns for 904 yards (and another TD). Turpin is a late bloomer who went undrafted back in 2019 and didn't make a regular-season appearance until 2022, which explains why he'll be 29 years old at the start of his fourth NFL campaign come September. He'll presumably land somewhere between third and fifth on the depth chart at wide receiver, in addition to returning both punts and kickoffs.

ANALYSIS
Turpin has shown flashes of his playmaking potential this season, including on special teams, where he has registered a touchdown on both a kickoff return and punt return. He turned 14 touches into 131 yards from scrimmage over his last four games, but Turpin's big-play ability could be put to use over the last two games of the regular season due to the absence of Lamb. Turpin could operate as the No. 2 or 3 wide receiver Sunday behind Brandin Cooks if either or both of Jalen Tolbert and Jalen Brooks were to be sidelined due to a finger and knee injury, respectively.
