Warren signed his one-year restricted free agent tender with the Steelers on Tuesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Analysis: Warren received a second-round restricted free agent tender from Pittsburgh in March, which carries a $5.35 million salary for the 2025 season. Signing his tender doesn't necessarily preclude a long-term deal materializing for Warren, but any further negotiations could be heavily swayed by the team's actions, or lack thereof, in addressing the running back position during the 2025 NFL Draft. Coach Mike Tomlin expressed confidence Tuesday in Warren's capabilities of handling lead back duties following the departure of Najee Harris, per Brooke Pryor of ESPN.com.

Cook is not present for the start of voluntary OTAs on Tuesday, Sal Capaccio of WGR Sports Radio 550 Buffalo reports.

Analysis: Bills general manager Brandon Beane said it's "not fair" to assume Cook's absence at voluntary OTAs is related to his desire for a new contract, adding that "he'll be ready to go" for mandatory offseason activities. Nonetheless, coming off a 2024 campaign in which he scored 18 touchdowns (16 rushing) despite playing just 48 percent of offensive snaps in his 16 regular-season appearances, Cook has been open about his desire for both a substantial extension and increased playing time. Still, Buffalo has Ray Davis entering Year 2, and the team opted to re-sign pending free agent Ty Johnson, indicating some level of commitment to a backfield rotation. How much attention the team pays to the running back position in the 2025 NFL Draft, which kicks off Thursday, could be telling as to Cook's odds of attaining a new deal. He's currently heading into the final year of his rookie contract after having compiled back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons.

Owusu-Koramoah (neck) is present at team facilities Tuesday for the start of voluntary OTAs, Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com reports.

Analysis: Owusu-Koramoah's activity level at voluntary workouts has yet to be disclosed, and his attendance doesn't necessarily indicate having been cleared for any on-field activities, but but the 25-year-old's presence is at least a positive sign. The star linebacker suffered a serious season-ending neck injury last October after colliding with Baltimore running back running back Derrick Henry, and Browns general manager Andrew Berry referred to his recovery progress as "nebulous" last Thursday. Officially, Owusu-Koramoah still remains without a clear recovery timetable, and it's possible more specific clarity on his potential return to the field won't arrive until training camp.
