Davis and the Eagles agreed to a three-year, $78 million contract extension Saturday that includes $65 million guaranteed, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

Per ESPN, the deal makes Davis the highest-paid nose tackle in NFL history, and it ensures that he'll be with the Eagles through the 2029 season. The 2022 first-rounder is coming off the most productive season of his four-year NFL career, finishing with 72 tackles (34 solo), including 4.5 sacks and six pass defenses over 17 regular-season games.

Speed and the Texans agreed to a two-year, $13 million contract Saturday that includes $7.5 million guaranteed, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Speed joined the Texans on a one-year deal in March of 2025 after spending the first six years of his NFL career with the Colts. His new deal Saturday includes a $4 million signing bonus and ensures that he'll stick around in Houston for the foreseeable future. Speed finished the 2025 regular season with 62 tackles (33 solo) and one pass defense over 16 games, which broke his streak of 100-tackle seasons at two.

The Rams placed Williams on the reserve/retired list Saturday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.

Williams spent six of his eight-year NFL career with the Rams, including for each of the last two seasons after playing for the Jaguars from 2022 to 2023. He was a key piece to the Rams' secondary during their Super Bowl LVI run in 2021. The UAB product will end his professional career with 306 total tackles, 77 pass defenses (12 interceptions, including one pick-six), two forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries across 104 regular-season games.

The Cowboys placed a second-round tender valued at $5.76 million on Aubrey on Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

The tender gives the Cowboys the opportunity to match an offer sheet that another team gives to Aubrey, otherwise Dallas would net a second-round pick. He has been one of the best kickers in the NFL for the past couple of seasons, and Todd Archer of ESPN reported in February that Aubrey is seeking a contract that exceeds the league-high $6.4 million average that Harrison Butker receives. Aubrey went 36-for-42 on field-goal attempts across 17 regular-season games in 2025, including 11-for-17 from 50-plus yards.

Las Vegas is trading Crosby (knee) to the Ravens in exchange for 2026 and 2027 first-round draft picks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Crosby is a five-time Pro Bowler who racked up 69.5 sacks over 110 regular-season games spanning seven seasons with the Raiders. He dealt with a knee injury that required surgery last year and missed the final two weeks of the campaign, but he's expected to be back to full health by the beginning of training camp. Crosby is widely regarded as one of the league's top pass rushers and should immediately boost a Baltimore pass rush that tied for third to last in the NFL with just 30 sacks during the regular season in 2025. The trade can't be processed until next week, per Schefter, but it appears to be fully agreed upon.

The Patriots are trading Bradbury to the Bears in exchange for a 2026 fifth-round pick, Dianna reports.

Bradbury joined the Patriots on a two-year, $9.5 million contract in March of 2025 after spending the first six years of his NFL career with the Vikings, but the 2019 first-rounder will head back to the NFC North as a member of the Bears. He has started in all 105 regular-season games he's appeared in and is slated to serve as the Bears' starting center for 2026 following the retirement of Drew Dalman on Tuesday.

The Raiders released Cappa on Friday.

Cappa will not return to Las Vegas for 2026 despite signing a two-year, $11.02 million contract with the Raiders in March of 2025. He started in eight of 17 regular-season games for the Raiders last year, including the last six games of the campaign. The 2018 third-rounder should garner interest from teams looking to add depth to the offensive line.

The Giants released Hudson on Friday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Hudson joined the Giants in March of 2025 on a two-year contract, but his stint with the team will end after just one season in a move that will save New York $5.5 million against the salary cap. Hudson started in just two of 11 regular-season games in 2025 and will look to join a team in need of depth on the offensive line.

The Chargers signed Williamson (ankle) to a contract extension Friday.

The details of Williamson's contract haven't been announced by the Chargers, but the 2023 seventh-rounder figures to be around for at least the 2026 season. He served mostly on special teams last year and finished with 14 tackles (eight solo) across 17 regular-season games, though an ankle injury prevented him from playing in the Chargers' AFC wild-card loss to the Patriots in January.

Kelly announced his retirement from the NFL through his personal X account Friday.

Kelly will step away from the game after a 10-year NFL career that started when he was selected in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft by the Colts. He signed a two-year contract with the Vikings in March of 2025 but suffered three concussions during the regular season, which limited him to eight games. Kelly was a four-time Pro Bowl selection and was a Second-Team All-Pro in the 2020 season while playing for Indianapolis.
