Webb played wide receiver his sophomore year at Alabama-Birmingham and began his pro career at receiver before being moved back to quarterback. It's not clear if he'll get much playing time as he'll be down on the depth chart, but it's possible the Vikings could design several plays for him since he's got impressive speed (4.44 in the 40-yard dash) and would be a threat for trick plays since he can throw. He'll also offer a quandary for many fantasy leagues since his position eligibility between QB and WR may be uncertain.
Clayton announced his retirement Wednesday, the Baltimore Sun reports.
Draughn has been sidelined during OTAs with a sports hernia, the Kansas City Star reports.
Gabbert (forearm) has been underwhelming during OTAs thus far, with beat writer Mark Long of the Associated Press noting that Wednesday's practice marked the "worst day of QB play I've witnessed at a Jaguars practice in years."

Granted, it's one day of OTAs, but Gabbert has always been impressive in shorts, so it's concerning to hear that he isn't looking sharp early where he has traditionally done well.
Williams has restructured his contract with the Panthers, ESPN.com reports.

Players tweak their deals fairly often, but in the case of Williams, it is notable since there had been whispers that his previous contract could lead to the Panthers potentially dangling him in trade talks. His restructuring frees up $3.2 million in salary cap space this year, while also lowering his future cap hits. In any case, the move ensures that Williams will stick around in Carolina to share the team's backfield with Jonathan Stewart and fullback Mike Tolbert.
While Brown is healthy after a season-ending ankle injury last year, he enters training camp behind Vick Ballard on the depth chart, ESPN reports. "At this point, yeah, [Ballard's] sitting there as the lead guy. But Donnie’s in great shape and healthy and looks fantastic to this point in the offseason program," head coach Chuck Pagano said.
