Zonovan Knight RB | ARI
Cardinals' Bam Knight: Staying with Arizona
Knight is re-signing with the Cardinals on a one-year contract, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Knight was Arizona's lead runner at one point in 2025, but only after James Conner (foot) and Trey Benson (knee) both suffered season-ending injuries. Conner and Benson still are under contract, now joined by free-agent addition Tyler Allgeier. It doesn't look good for Knight landing any higher than third or fourth on the depth chart come training camp. He should at least be healthy, having reportedly avoided surgery on the ankle injury that ended his 2025 season in December.

Joey Slye K | TEN
Titans' Joey Slye: Staying in Tennessee
Slye is re-signing with Tennessee on a one-year contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Last year, Slye made 28 of 35 field-goal attempts (80 percent), including nine of 14 from 50-plus yards, but with a lack of extra-point attempts (27) mostly keeping him off the fantasy radar. That's largely been the story of Slye's career: providing a strong leg for subpar teams. It doesn't help that he's never been great in terms of accuracy, with an 81.4 percent career conversion rate on field goals. The Titans may bring in competition later this offseason.

Trey Hendrickson DE | BAL
Ravens' Trey Hendrickson: Set to sign with Ravens
Hendrickson (hip/pelvis) is slated to sign a four-year, $112 million contract with the Ravens, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
After a trade agreement that would have sent star defensive end Maxx Crosby (from the Raiders) to the Ravens in exchange for two first-round picks fell apart, it didn't take long for the team to pivot to adding another impact pass rusher. Hendrickson is recovering from December core-muscle surgery, but he'll presumably be past the issue once Baltimore's offseason program begins. In seven games with the Bengals in 2025, the 31-year-old recorded 16 tackles and four sacks, but in both of the two seasons prior to that Hendrickson racked up 17.5 sacks.

Darnell Savage DB | BUF
Steelers' Darnell Savage: Headed to Pittsburgh
Savage and the Steelers agreed on a one-year contract Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Savage will head to Pittsburgh after combining to record 18 total tackles (10 solo), a pass defensed and a forced fumble over 12 regular-season games with the Jaguars, Commanders and Bills in 2025. The 28-year-old will provide the Steelers with an experienced reserve option at safety behind DeShon Elliott (knee) and Jalen Ramsey in 2026.

Trey Pipkins OT | LAC
Chargers' Trey Pipkins: Remaining in Los Angeles
Pipkins and the Chargers agreed on a two-year, $10 million contract Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Pipkins will stick around Los Angeles after spending the first seven seasons of his career with the Chargers. The 29-year-old will provide the team with a well-experienced backup option behind Rashawn Slater (kneecap) and Joe Alt (ankle) at offensive tackle in 2026.

Brock Hoffman C | PIT
Brock Hoffman: No deal at this time
Contrary to a previous report, Hoffman hasn't agreed to a contract with the Steelers, Alan Saunders of SteelersNow.com reports.
Saunders contradicts a previous report by NFL reporter Jordan Schultz, although the former relayed that a deal could still happen in the future. At this time, Hoffman appears to be weighing his options. The 26-year-old has played both guard and center and could push for a starting job at his next landing spot.

Brett Toth G | SF
49ers' Brett Toth: Joins 49ers
Toth (concussion) agreed to terms Tuesday on a one-year contract with the 49ers, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Toth has started six games since entering the league as an undrafted free agent in 2019. He's not expected to push for a full-time starting job, but he should provide depth on the interior offensive line.

Sam Howell QB | DAL
Cowboys' Sam Howell: Finds home in Dallas
Howell agreed to terms Tuesday on a one-year contract with the Cowboys, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The 2022 fifth-round pick showed some potential as a starter for the Commanders back in 2023, completing 63 percent of his passes for 3,946 yards, 21 touchdowns and 21 interceptions while adding 263 yards and five touchdowns on the ground. However, Howell served as a backup for the Seahawks and Eagles over the last two seasons, never touching the field on offense in 2025. Howell is poised to compete with Joe Milton for the No. 2 job behind Dak Prescott.

Ravens' Dayton Wade: Returning to Baltimore
The Ravens are expected to re-sign Wade (ribs), Matt Zenitz of CBSSports reports.
Wade is slated to return to Baltimore, where he's spent the past two seasons. He spent the entirety of the 2025 season on injured reserve with a ribs injury and will look to make his regular-season debut during the upcoming campaign.
