  Rodgers and the Packers agreed to a five-year, $110 million contract extension Friday, according to the Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Impacts: The deal will make Rodgers the highest paid player in NFL history. Fantasy owners should expect a big 2013 from Rodgers, who has led the league in passer rating each of the last two years.

  Revis (knee) has been traded by the Jets to the Bucs for a 2013 first-rounder (13th overall), plus a conditional 2014 fourth or third-round pick. Impacts: Moreover, Revis and the Bucs have also agreed on a new six-year $96 million extension that includes no guaranteed money. It's an aggressive move by the Bucs to upgrade their secondary, as the team evidently feels very confident about the health of the star cornerback, who is coming off an ACL injury, by making him the highest paid defensive back in NFL history.

  Hernandez's recovery from a minor scope on his shoulder will last approximately four months, ESPN Boston reports. Impacts: Hernandez will definitely miss OTAs and mandatory minicamps over the next few months, which could place him on the PUP list to begin training camp. However, he is expected to be fully healthy by the time the regular season kicks off. By Rotowire.com

  Revis, who has reached an agreement in principle with the Buccaneers, has been granted permission by the Jets to travel to Tampa Bay for a physical, Yahoo! Sports reports. Impacts: The Jets and Bucs have apparently come to terms on a trade, which is contingent upon Revis passing a physical. Since a recent MRI revealed that his surgically-repaired left knee is ahead of schedule in its recovery, it only seems a matter of time before the deal is completed in earnest. Revis should officially be a Buccaneer by Monday morning. By Rotowire.com

  The shoulder surgery that Hernandez had about two weeks ago is being referred to as a minor scope, the Boston Globe reports. Impacts: The report confirms that Hernandez will be ready for the start of training camp in July, barring any setbacks, which is good news for the Patriots, with Rob Gronkowski still dealing with issues related to his surgically-repaired forearm.

  Hernandez, who underwent shoulder surgery earlier this offseason, will likely miss the Patriots' OTAs along with mini-camp, the team's official site reports. Impacts: On the plus side, the report indicates that Hernandez should be ready to return in time for training camp, so in the long term this doesn't look like a major issue, but for the time being, neither of the Patriots' top two tight ends are in commission, with Rob Gronkowski still dealing with issues with his forearm.

  The Steelers have matched the Patriots' offer sheet for Sanders, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Impacts: Sanders will thus remain with the Steelers on a one-year, $2.5 million deal. Now that he's back in the fold, look for him to replace Mike Wallace in the team's starting lineup this coming season, opposite Antonio Brown. Assuming he earns that assignment, then Sanders should have no problem improving on his 2012 numbers (44 catches for 626 yards with a touchdown) this coming season. By Rotowire.com

  Winfield agreed in principle to a one-year deal with the Seahawks on Friday, NFL Network's Albert Breer reports. Impacts: The addition of Winfield only further bolsters a Seattle secondary that already features Pro Bowl-caliber players at all four starting spots. The aging Winfield should settle into a nickel role and remain a proficient tackler in what's shaping up to be the league's premier defensive unit. By Rotowire.com

  Jennings (shoulder) claimed to agree to contract terms with Oakland on Wednesday, NFL.com reports. Impacts: Jennings will be a serious consideration to earn the top backup role behind Darren McFadden, though the Raiders might add help through the draft. Jennings dealt with knee and concussion troubles in 2012, though, running for a remarkably bad 2.8 yards per carry while he was at it. By Rotowire.com

  Welker is working out with Peyton Manning, Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker this week at Duke University, the Denver Post reports. Impacts: Thomas and Decker worked out with Manning at Duke last offseason in preparation for the 2012 season and both had career years. Manning throws there in the offseason because his former college offensive coordinator, David Cutcliffe, is now head coach at Duke (he also happened to be Eli Manning's head coach at Mississippi). There is no questioning that Welker can make Manning a better fantasy player but it's tough to see Welker excel as much as he did in New England thanks to the presence of Thomas and Decker.
