Garret Wallow LB | SF
49ers' Garret Wallow: Staying in San Fran
Wallow is in line to sign a one-year contract with the 49ers on Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Wallow played seven games for the Texans in 2025 before he was waived in December. The 49ers swooped in and claimed him off waivers. Wallow played a vital role during the playoffs due to injuries ahead of him in the depth chart, handling 105 defensive snaps over two postseason games and recording 12 tackles (five solo) in the process. With Fred Warner (ankle) expected back in 2026, the 49ers are hoping Wallow can contribute on special teams.

Panthers' Luke Fortner: Lands with Carolina
Fortner agreed to terms Tuesday on a one-year contract with the Panthers worth $4.75 million, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Fortner started 44 regular-season games over four years with the Jaguars, although he started just 10 games over the past two. The 2022 third-round pick should be favored to win the starting center job in Carolina.

Eagles' Grant Calcaterra: Returning to Philadelphia
The Eagles are expected to re-sign Calcaterra to a one-year deal, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Calcaterra is expected to return to Philadelphia for the 2026 campaign, where he has spent the entirety of his four-year career. The 27-year-old caught nine passes for 76 yards and one touchdown last season and should remain one of the team's top backup tight ends for the upcoming campaign.

Patrick Ricard RB | NYG
Giants' Patrick Ricard: Heading to Big Apple
Ricard agreed to terms Tuesday on a two-year contract with the Giants, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
Ricard spent nine years in Baltimore with head coach John Harbaugh, and the duo will reunite in New York. Ricard, who will turn 32 years old in May, is expected to be the highest-paid fullback in the league. He'll set up running lanes and serve as a veteran leader for the young Giants, who will start second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart in 2026.

Jordan Elliott DT | TEN
Titans' Jordan Elliott: Headed to Tennessee
Elliott is slated to sign a two-year, $8 million contract with the Titans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Elliott is expected to join the Titans after previously spending time with both the Browns and 49ers. The 28-year-old failed to record any sacks across the past two seasons in San Francisco but could serve as one of Tennessee's starting defensive tackles during the 2026 campaign.

Johnny Mundt TE | PHI
Eagles' Johnny Mundt: Packs bags for Philly
Mundt agreed to terms Tuesday on a one-year contract with the Eagles, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Mundt quickly found a new home after being released by the Jaguars on Monday. The 31-year-old tight end played 385 offensive snaps last season but mostly stuck to a run-blocking role, catching just nine of 19 targets for 111 yards and no touchdowns. At the time of this report, Dallas Goedert still hasn't re-signed with the team, but the Eagles did sign Grant Calcaterra to a one-year deal, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Mundt should be a key blocking piece to the Eagles' run-heavy attack, which frequently utilizes multiple tight ends, in 2026 regardless of Goedert's status with the team.

Maxx Crosby DE | LV
Raiders' Maxx Crosby: Trade to Baltimore off
Per the Raiders, the Ravens "have backed out of our trade agreement" for Crosby (knee), Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. "We will have no further comment at this time."
Last Friday, it was reported that Las Vegas agreed to trade Crosby to Baltimore for 2026 and 2027 first-round picks, but the move wasn't going to become official until the new league year. With the deal now called off due to a failed physical, according to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, the star pass rusher remains under contract with the Raiders for the time being, while the Ravens retain their first-rounders.

Cameron Heyward DE | PIT
Steelers' Cameron Heyward: Adds to current contract
Heyward signed a one-year extension with the Steelers on Tuesday, Mike DeFabo of The Athletic reports.
Heyward effectively signed a new contract worth $32.25 million over two years, including the first year guaranteed. This move also freed up $5.5 million in cap space for the Steelers, according to Gerry Dulac of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. Heyward will turn 37 years old in May but isn't showing any signs of slowing down, as he's coming off a strong season where he recorded 78 tackles (38 solo), including 3.5 sacks, and six pass breakups through 17 regular-season games (48.0 defensive snaps per game).

Rock Ya-Sin CB | DET
Lions' Rock Ya-Sin: Re-ups with Lions
Ya-Sin is in line to sign a one-year, $4 million contract with the Lions on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Ya-Sin briefly tested the market but chose to return to the Lions instead of heading to his sixth team in six years. The 2019 second-round pick was a dependable corner for the Lions in 2025, handling 35.6 defensive snaps per game while recording 47 tackles and nine pass breakups through 17 games. The current terms of his contract likely mean he's headed for a similar role in 2026.
