  • Trey Lance QB | LAC

    Chargers' Trey Lance: Back with Bolts

    The Chargers signed Lance to a one-year contract worth up to $6.75 million Saturday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Lance is returning for a second campaign in Los Angeles following stints with San Francisco and Dallas. As Justin Herbert's backup last season, Lance saw action in four games (including a Week 18 start versus Denver), completing 27 of 57 pass attempts for 226 yards and a 0:1 TD:INT while adding 17 carries for 85 yards. The mobile quarterback should be the frontrunner to back up Herbert.

  • Josh Johnson QB | CIN

    Bengals' Josh Johnson: Continuing career in Cincy

    The Bengals signed Johnson to a contract Saturday.

    Johnson will turn 40 in mid-May, but he's not yet ready to hang up his cleats. This will be his third stint with the Bengals, who are one of 14 teams he's spent time with during his NFL career. Johnson should have a path to working as the backup to QB Joe Burrow, as Sean Clifford is the only other QB currently signed to Cincinnati's roster following the departure of Jake Browning to Tampa Bay.

  • Kene Nwangwu RB | NYJ

    Jets' Kene Nwangwu: Staying put in New York

    The Jets are signing Nwangwu to a one-year, $2 million contract worth up to $3 million with incentives, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Nwangwu had a small role in New York's offense as a depth RB last year, recording 49 yards on 13 carries in 12 games. However, he was a key player on special teams, logging 604 yards and one touchdown on 18 kickoff returns. Nwangwu has recorded five TDs as a kick returner through his first five campaigns in the league, and that should again be his primary role in 2026.

  • Seahawks' Noah Igbinoghene: Headed to Pacific Northwest

    The Seahawks signed Igbinoghene to a one-year contract Saturday, Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic reports.

    Igbinoghene is a six-year NFL veteran who has spent time with Miami, Dallas and Washington. Last season with the Commanders, he played in 15 regular-season games (two starts), registering 35 tackles (including 1.0 sacks) and five defensed passes. Igbinoghene also logged some work as a kick returner, taking seven kickoffs for 191 yards (27.3 YPR). He'll likely work in a rotational role at cornerback and serve as a depth option in the return game with Seattle.

  • Nick Scott SAF | CAR

    Panthers' Nick Scott: Remaining in Carolina

    Scott is set to sign a one-year contract with the Panthers, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Scott started all 17 regular-season games for Carolina last year, recording a career-best 111 tackles along with three defensed passes (including an interception). He also played every defensive snap during the team's wild-card loss to the Rams and racked up nine stops. Scott should reprise his starting role at safety alongside Tre'von Moehrig in 2026.

  • Mo Alie-Cox TE | IND

    Colts' Mo Alie-Cox: Returning to Indy

    Alie-Cox is re-signing with the Colts on a one-year contract, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

    Alie-Cox has spent the first eight campaigns of his career in Indianapolis and hasn't missed a regular-season game since 2020. While he hasn't topped 189 regular-season receiving yards since 2021, the veteran tight end has been useful in the red zone, with 12 of his 81 catches going for touchdowns over the past five campaigns. Tyler Warren is firmly established as Indianapolis' long-term starter at the position, but Alie-Cox's return gives the Colts veteran leadership and elite run blocking at tight end.

  • Zaire Barnes LB | NYG

    Giants' Zaire Barnes: Back with Big Blue

    The Giants re-signed Barnes on Saturday.

    Barnes was a sixth-round draft pick of the Jets in 2023 but didn't play any defensive snaps for the team. He linked up with the Giants last year and saw action in 11 games, logging 93 defensive snaps and 168 special-teams snaps while notching 29 tackles (including 1.0 sacks). Most of Barnes' work on defense last year came in Weeks 12 and 13, and he even made a start against New England in that Week 13 game. He'll likely be competing for a depth linebacker role in 2026.

  • Darnell Mooney WR | NYG

    Giants' Darnell Mooney: Set to join Giants

    Mooney is slated to sign a one-year, $10 million contract with the Giants, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Mooney entered free agency after he was released by the Falcons on Monday, and it didn't take him long to find a new home with the Giants. He entered the 2025 season with high expectations following a productive 2024 campaign with the Falcons, when he caught 64 passes (on 106 targets) for 992 yards and five touchdowns across 16 regular-season games. Mooney failed to catch more than four passes in each of his 15 regular-season games in 2025 and finished with a 32-443-1 receiving line (on 72 targets). He figures to slide in as the Giants' WR3 behind Malik Nabers (knee) and Darius Slayton for the upcoming season.

  • Calvin Ridley WR | TEN

    Titans' Calvin Ridley: Staying in Tennessee for 2026

    Ridley (fibula) has agreed to restructure his contract with the Titans and will be on the team's roster for the 2026 season, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Ridley was slated to earn a $2 million roster bonus by 4:00 p.m. ET on Saturday, which pushed the Titans and the veteran wide receiver to come to a solution on his contract, per Pelissero. The details of how the contract has been restructured has yet to be announced, but the move ensures that Ridley will remain in Tennessee and pair up with free-agent acquisition Wan'Dale Robinson. Ridley was limited to just seven regular-season games in 2025 due to a fractured left fibula that he suffered in mid-November. Prior to the 2025 campaign, the Alabama product logged at least 1,000 yards in three of four seasons, including in his first year with the Titans in 2024 (64/1,017/4 line on 120 targets across 17 regular-season games).

  • Texans' David Montgomery: Gets upgraded deal with Houston

    Montgomery and Texans agreed to terms on a two-year, $16.5 million contract Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Per Wilson, Montgomery's new deal comes with a $6.5 million signing bonus, $1.5 million guaranteed in 2026 and $2.5 million guaranteed in 2027. The new contract comes nearly two weeks after the Texans acquired Montgomery from the Lions in exchange for Juice Scruggs, a fourth-round pick and a seventh-round pick. With Joe Mixon (foot) being released by the Texans on March 6 and Nick Chubb entering free agency, Montgomery and Woody Marks are slated to serve as Houston's top backfield options for the 2026 season.
