    Commanders' Jerome Ford: Heading to Washington

    Ford (shoulder) and the Commanders agreed to terms on a one-year contract Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Ford will call Washington his new home after spending the first four years of his NFL career in Cleveland. His most productive year with the Browns was in 2023, when he produced 1,132 yards from scrimmage and nine touchdowns across 17 regular-season games, though he served in a rotational role over the last two years. Ford will now join a Commanders backfield that also consists of Jacory Croskey-Merritt and Rachaad White.

  • Basil Okoye DT | BAL

    Ravens' CJ Okoye: Back with Baltimore

    The Ravens signed Okoye to a one-year, $1 million contract Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Okoye came through the International Player Pathway Program and played 13 regular-season games for Baltimore last season, logging 214 defensive snaps and compiling 15 tackles along with a defensed pass. He'll likely continue to serve in a rotational role along the defensive line in 2026.

  • Jaylon Jones DB | CHI

    Bears' Jaylon Jones: Returning to Chicago

    Jones is signing a one-year contract with the Bears, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Jones entered the league as an undrafted free agent in 2022 and has played all four of his pro campaigns with Chicago, though he was briefly on Arizona's roster last offseason. The Ole Miss product has played more snaps on special teams than on defense each of the past three years and figures to continue working as a depth cornerback in 2026.

  • Chris Paul G | WAS

    Commanders' Chris Paul: Returning to Washington

    Paul signed a one-year contract with the Commanders on Friday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.

    Paul was selected by the Commanders in the seventh round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He started in eight games over the first three years of his NFL career but started at left guard in 15 of 17 regular-season games in 2025. Paul appears likely to retain his starting spot for the 2026 campaign.

  • Mykal Walker LB | NYJ

    Jets' Mykal Walker: Re-signs with Gang Green

    The Jets re-signed Walker on Friday, Jack Bell of the team's official site reports.

    Walker was cut by the Cardinals at the end of training camp but he quickly caught on with the Jets on the practice squad in early September before being signed to the active roster in October. He worked in a rotational role on defense while serving on special teams and finished the 2025 regular season with 31 tackles (nine solo) and one pass defense across 14 games. Walker will likely reprise that role for the Jets in 2026.

  • D'Angelo Ross CB | CLE

    Browns' D'Angelo Ross: Staying in Cleveland

    Ross signed a contract with the Browns on Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Ross opened the 2025 season on the Texans' practice squad and appeared in three games before being signed to the Browns' active roster in mid-November. He appeared in seven regular-season games for Cleveland and logged nine tackles (five solo) and two pass defenses while mostly serving on special teams. Ross will likely see most of his playing time on special teams in 2026, but his presence gives the Browns depth in the secondary.

  • Christian Izien SAF | DET

    Lions' Christian Izien: Inks deal with Detroit

    Izien signed a contract with the Lions on Friday.

    The terms of the deal are yet to be announced, but Izien will head to Detroit after calling Tampa Bay his home for the last three seasons. He played a prominent role in the Buccaneers' defense in 2023 and 2024 but saw his snaps on defense dip in 2025, finishing with 25 tackles (16 solo) and one forced fumble across 14 regular-season games. Izien will look to earn an expanded role on defense with the Lions, and he could get some starts early in 2026 season if one or both of Brian Branch (Achilles) and Kerby Joseph (knee) are not available.

  • Browns' Elgton Jenkins: Progressing in recovery

    Jenkins continues to progress in his rehab from a fractured lower leg and ligament damage that he suffered in November while playing for the Packers, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.

    Jenkins spent the first seven years of his NFL career in Green Bay, where he was named to the NFC Pro Bowl roster in 2020 and 2022. He started in each of the Packers' first nine games of the 2025 regular season before fracturing his leg against the Eagles in Week 10. Jenkins relayed Friday that he is on pace with his recovery and hopes to be fully healthy for the start of the 2026 season.

  • Kalia Davis DT | CLE

    Browns' Kalia Davis: Departing Bay Area for Cleveland

    Davis and the Browns agreed to terms Friday on a one-year contract worth up to $3 million, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

    Davis was selected by the 49ers in the sixth round of the 2022 NFL Draft and spent his first four years in the NFL with San Francisco, but he will now call Cleveland home. He is coming off a career year in 2025, finishing with 28 tackles (10 solo), including 0.5 sacks and three pass defenses across 17 regular-season games. Davis figures to serve in a rotational role on the Browns' interior defensive line behind Mason Graham and Maliek Collins (quadriceps).

  • Giants' Ar'Darius Washington: Inks deal with Big Blue

    Washington signed with the Giants on Friday, Matt Citak of the team's official site reports.

    Washington signed with the Ravens in May of 2021 and spent the first five years of his NFL career in Baltimore, appearing in 29 regular-season games over that span. He spent most of the 2025 campaign on the reserve/PUP list due to a torn Achilles but was cleared to make his debut in mid-December. He logged seven tackles (three solo) and one forced fumble across four regular-season games while serving in a rotational role in the secondary. Washington will likely operate in a similar role with the Giants, though he will have the opportunity to compete with Tyler Nubin (neck) and Jevon Holland (knee) for a starting role at safety in 2026.
