  • Commanders' Chig Okonkwo: Set to join Commanders

    Okonkwo has agreed to terms on a three-year contract with Washington, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Okonkwo is moving on from Tennessee after four seasons to become the new top pass-catching TE for quarterback Jayden Daniels, joining a positional room that also includes Ben Sinnott and John Bates (who combined for 22 catches in 2025). Now entering his age-27 season, Okonkwo has tallied over 400 receiving yards in four consecutive years and brings a respectable production floor to the Commanders. For fantasy purposes, Okonkwo will be a sleeper breakout candidate at the tight end position in the event that Daniels is the quarterback able to unlock the untapped potential promised by Okonkwo's YAC abilities and speed (4.52 40).

  • Willie Gay Jr. LB | MIA

    Dolphins' Willie Gay: Re-signing with Miami

    The Dolphins are set to re-sign Gay, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    Gay signed a one-year contract with the Dolphins for the 2025 season, and it is likely the team has agreed to yet another one-year deal to keep the linebacker through 2026. He participated in all 17 regular-season games for the Dolphins in 2025, logging 20 tackles (10 solo), including 2.0 sacks. The 28-year-old also managed to pick up two passes defensed, creating a decent amount of havoc for the mere 131 defensive snaps he played.

  • Aaron Jones RB | MIN

    Vikings' Aaron Jones: Revises deal to stay in MIN

    Jones (hip) agreed to terms on a restructured contract Wednesday that will allow him to remain with the Vikings for the 2026 season, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Jones is lowering his base salary for the 2026 season to $5.5 million, a figure that makes it more realistic for Minnesota to retain the 31-year-old veteran for the 2026 campaign rather than release him in a cap-saving maneuver. Last year Jones was limited to just 12 regular-season appearances due to a combination of injuries, missing Week 18 due to a hip issue, but there have been no reports that the veteran running back will be limited at all during spring activities. Jones logged 132 carries for 548 yards and two touchdowns while adding 28 catches (on 41 targets) for 199 yards and another score in 2025 and currently stands alongside Jordan Mason atop the Vikings' backfield, though the team could still make further additions to that unit in free agency and/or April's draft.

  • Kevin Byard FS | NE

    Patriots' Kevin Byard: Safety help for New England

    The Patriots have agreed to a one-year deal with Byard, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Byard is set to make $9 million in 2026 as he moves on to help a Patriots defense fresh off the Super Bowl LX loss. The former Bears safety ended 2025 with 93 tackles (61 solo) and eight passes defensed for seven interceptions over 17 regular-season games. The ball hawk will help offset free agency losses for a Patriots defense that is looking to maintain control of the AFC East and string together deep playoff runs.

  • 49ers' Patrick Taylor: Staying in San Francisco

    Taylor (shoulder) is slated to re-sign with the 49ers, per his representation at Equity Sports.

    Taylor missed the entire 2025 campaign due to a shoulder injury suffered during the preseason, for which he required surgery, but he's presumably now fully healthy and ready for the start of offseason activities. In what will be his age-28 season, Taylor projects to provide backfield depth behind Christian McCaffrey, Jordan James and Isaac Guerendo.

  • Packers' Brenton Cox: Re-signing with Green Bay

    The Packers have agreed to a one-year deal with Cox, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    The one-year, $2.5 million contract will keep the restricted free agent with the Packers. Cox was a valuable rotational defensive piece, helping out on the edge when star pass rusher Micah Parsons went down in December. The 26-year-old played in just four 2025 regular-season games, down from seven in 2024.

  • Chidobe Awuzie CB | BAL

    Ravens' Chidobe Awuzie: Returns to Baltimore

    The Ravens have agreed to a one-year deal with Awuzie, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports

    Awuzie is set to earn $5 million guaranteed for another one-year stint with the Ravens. The 30-year-old played 14 games in the 2025 regular season, starting in four. The team was clearly impressed with his production at outside cornerback, as his 2026 contract comes in $3.75 million higher than his 2025 deal.

  • Tyrus Wheat DE | DAL

    Cowboys' Tyrus Wheat: Staying in Dallas

    Wheat is slated to sign a one-year deal with the Cowboys, Jane Slater of NFL.com reports.

    Wheat is in a similar position to 2025, when he signed a one-year contract with the Cowboys as an exclusive-rights free agent. As an unrestricted free agent, the defensive end has decided to stay in Dallas once again. The 26-year-old likely will maintain his role as a depth piece for the defensive line as well as a consistent special-teams contributor.

  • Colts' Micheal Clemons: Signing with Indy

    Clemons and the Colts have agreed to terms on a three-year deal, Mike Chappell of fox59.com reports.

    The deal is reported to be worth $17.5 million, with up to $18.5 million in earnings possible. Clemons produced 22 tackles (nine solo), including 1.0 sacks, and two passes defensed over 16 games in the 2025 regular season. The defensive end likely will play opposite Laiatu Latu in 2026, battling with 2025 second-rounder JT Tuimoloau for defensive snaps.

  • Josh Uche LB | MIA

    Dolphins' Joshua Uche: Set to join Miami

    Uche is slated to sign a one-year deal with the Dolphins, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald reports.

    Uche was a strong depth piece for the Eagles, playing defensive snaps in nine regular-season games in 2025. The strongside linebacker will bring both defensive and special-teams value to a depleted Dolphins linebacker room as he returns to the AFC East. Uche was traded from the Patriots to the Chiefs in late October 2024 and now will get to face the team that selected him in the second round of the 2020 Draft twice per year.
