When the first day of April rolls around, some NFL players and teams inevitably try to get fans' hearts racing with fake news.

Though this April Fools' Day fell on Easter Sunday and during Passover, things weren't any different.

Star Denver Broncos pass rusher Von Miller "announced" he was the newest member of the Cleveland Browns.

It’s been real Denver! The “Mile High City” and the @broncos will always have my heart! SB50 Champs! They can never take that away from us! @clevelandbrowns & @juice_landry what’s good!!!

Broncos receiver Emmanuel Sanders, meanwhile, said he was leaving Denver to join the Washington Redskins.

Thank you Broncos nation for giving me so much love and support. I have decided to take my talents to Washington to join @jno24 in a quest to win Super Bowl 53. Washington we lit! I’m on the way. 💪🏾

The Jacksonville Jaguars pretended to accidentally release a version of their new uniforms.

But fans caught on to their ruse rather easily.

The Tennessee Titans didn't exactly join the trend started by their AFC South rivals, but their friends across town on the Nashville Predators' social team had some fun at their expense.

We're here to silence the rumors. Leaked photos confirm the @Titans are joining the movement and will don gold uniforms.#Preds | #TeamSmashville pic.twitter.com/OVh2TvvEe9
