Las Vegas re-signed Thomas to a one-year contract Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Thomas will run it back with the Raiders after having secured all 13 of his targets for 114 yards across 15 regular-season appearances with the team in 2025. He projects for a blocking role behind Brock Bowers (knee) and Michael Mayer again next season.

Nabers (knee) is present for the Giants' first day of voluntary workouts Tuesday.

Nabers is progressing from ACL and meniscus tears that he suffered to his right knee in Week 4 of last season, and GM Joe Schoen said in late March that he's "hopeful" the star wide receiver will be ready for Week 1 of the 2026 campaign, per Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site. While it remains to be seen when Nabers will be ready to resume on-field drills, it's encouraging to see him in house and building familiarity with new head coach John Harbaugh's offense.

Pitts is present for the start of voluntary workouts Tuesday and is signing his franchise tag with the Falcons, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Pitts and Atlanta will still have until mid-July to negotiate a long-term deal, but without one the 2021 first-round pick will have a $15.05 million salary for 2026. The 25-year-old tight end finished 2025 with an 88-928-5 line on 118 targets while suiting up for all 17 regular-season games. Pitts' major task this offseason will be to establish a rapport with new quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, who will compete with Michael Penix (knee) for the starting job under center.

New England informed Mapu on Tuesday that he will be cut, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

A 2023 third-round pick, Mapu had one year remaining on his rookie deal. He suited up for all 17 regular-season games in 2025 but handled a career-low 120 snaps on defense, compared to a career-high 254 snaps on special teams. He had 25 tackles (18 solo), five passes defensed (including one interception) and one forced fumble.

The Giants re-signed Miller on Tuesday.

The 26-year-old wideout logged 13 regular-season appearances with Tampa Bay in 2025, securing two of four targets for 34 yards and a score. Miller had been claimed off waivers by the Giants in December and tendered as an exclusive rights free agent.

Putnam signed his exclusive-rights free-agent tender with Las Vegas on Monday, Ryan McFadden of ESPN.com reports.

Putnam was a key rotational part of the Raiders offensive line last season. He started two of the 15 games in which he appeared and likely will serve in a similar role during the upcoming campaign.

Reid signed his exclusive-rights free-agent tender with Cleveland on Monday.

Reid didn't play at all last season after suffering a back injury in late August. However, the Weber State product worked his way up to a pretty big role as a rookie in 2024, with most of his work coming on special teams. If Reid is back to full health and able to make the roster ahead of the upcoming campaign, he'll likely reprise his role as a depth option and special-teamer.

Thrash signed his exclusive-rights free-agent tender with Cleveland on Monday.

Thrash showed slight improvement in his second NFL campaign last year, catching 10 of 15 passes for 107 yards over nine games after reeling in just three of seven passes across the same number of contests the previous season. However, he also was a healthy scratch on multiple occasions and was waived before being quickly re-signed in mid-December, so his role on the team was very shaky. There's room to push up Cleveland's wideout depth chart, which will likely be Thrash's goal for 2026.

Szmyt signed his exclusive-rights free-agent tender with the Browns on Monday.

Szmyt had a successful first NFL campaign last season, converting 24 of 27 field-goal attempts (including 5-for-6 from 50-plus yards) and 25 of 26 extra-point tries. He didn't miss a field goal following the Browns' Week 9 bye, going 14-for-14 over the team's final nine games. Szmyt will head into training camp as Cleveland's clear primary kicker.

Corley signed his exclusive-rights free-agent tender with Cleveland on Monday.

Corley joined Cleveland late last August after being waived by the Jets. The Western Kentucky product ended up playing 13 games with the Browns, recording 11 receptions (on 14 targets) for 79 yards. Corley also featured as the team's lead kick returner, taking 21 returns for 492 yards. He'll likely fill a similar role during the upcoming season.
