  • Leo Chenal LB | WAS

    Commanders' Leo Chenal: Lands in Washington

    Chenal agreed to terms Tuesday on a three-year contract with the Commanders, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

    Chenal always played a consistent role during his three years with the Chiefs, but he never surpassed 439 defensive snaps in a season. When he's on the field, he's quite dependable, stacking up 193 tackles, including 6.0 sacks, over 48 games through the last two seasons. With Bobby Wagner likely holding onto an every-down role, Chenal will need to battle for reps behind the likes of Dorance Armstrong (knee) and Frankie Luvu.

  • Tariq Woolen CB | PHI

    Eagles' Riq Woolen: Heads to another contender

    Woolen agreed to terms Tuesday on a one-year, $15 million contract with the Eagles, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Woolen entered the league as a fifth-round pick of the Seahawks in 2022 and started 46 of 48 games through his first three seasons, registering 41 pass breakups and 11 interceptions in that stretch. Although he started just seven games in 2025, Woolen still averaged 51.0 defensive snaps per game and recorded 41 tackles (33 solo), 12 pass breakups and an interception. Woolen is an unmatched athlete who has shown some flaws as a tackler, but he should be a sturdy addition to the Eagles' secondary nonetheless.

  • Kaden Elliss LB | NO

    Saints' Kaden Elliss: Back to NOLA

    Elliss agreed to terms Tuesday on a three-year, $33 million contract with the Saints, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Elliss played nearly every defensive snap for the Falcons over the past three seasons, piling up at least 107 tackles each year while totaling 12.5 sacks and two interceptions in that stretch. Now, he'll return to the team that drafted him in the seventh round back in 2019. The 30-year-old is set to receive $23 million guaranteed, which puts him in a strong position to start at inside linebacker next to Pete Werner in 2026.

  • Lions' Teddy Bridgewater: New backup for Goff

    Bridgewater has agreed to terms on a contract with the Lions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Bridgewater previously spent time in Detroit as the backup to Jared Goff in 2023, and he returned to the NFL in 2025 to provide depth behind Baker Mayfield with the Buccaneers. Last year, across four regular-season appearances, Bridgewater completed eight of 15 pass attempts for 62 yards without a touchdown. He also carried the ball three times for four yards. The 33-year-old signal-caller will provide the Lions with stability in the event that Goff misses any time in 2026.

  • Skyy Moore WR | GB

    Packers' Skyy Moore: Expected to ink with Green Bay

    Moore has agreed to terms on a one-year contract with the Packers, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports. Per Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, Moore's deal has a base value of $2.5 million with additional incentives of up to $2 million.

    Moore was productive while operating as a return man for the 49ers in 2025, totaling 907 kickoff return yards and 291 yards on punts across 17 regular-season appearances. He also had five catches for 87 yards on seven targets and two carries for 11 yards. Moore figures to primarily contribute in the return game again for his new team, as second-year wideout Savion Williams (foot) already projects for a gadget role on offense. Moore and Williams figure to also compete for opportunities returning kicks.

  • Giants' Jason Sanders: Joining G-Men

    Sanders is signing a one-year deal with the Giants, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Sanders was Miami's kicker from 2018 to 2024, before missing the entire 2025 campaign with a hip injury. He returned to practice at the very end of the season, which suggests he should be back at full health a few months later. Sanders had a career year in 2024, converting 37 of 41 field-goal attempts for the Dolphins. His fantasy value in 2026 will depend on locking down the starting job and earning John Harbaugh's trust on long attempts.

  • Cardinals' Jacoby Brissett: Expected to start over Minshew

    Brissett is on track to keep his starting job after the Cardinals settled for Gardner Minshew as their QB addition at the start of free agency, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

    The catch is that Arizona still has time this offseason to add a third quarterback to the mix. Multiple reports suggest Minshew will come in behind Brissett on the depth chart, though Brissett hasn't been informed of any specific plans for the QB roles, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com. The 33-year-old Brissett is entering the second season of a two-year contract, after providing competent QB play during a 2025 campaign where not much went right for the Cardinals. They ended up leading the league in pass attempts, but a new coaching staff may not be as quick to abandon the run, even in trailing game scripts. To that end, the Cardinals are signing power runner Tyler Allgeier to challenge James Conner (ankle) and Trey Benson (knee) in the backfield.

  • Packers' Darian Kinnard: Re-signing with Green Bay

    Kinnard agreed to terms Tuesday on a contract with the Packers, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Kinnard is signing a one-year deal worth up to $3.75 million to stay with the Packers. The backup right tackle proved a reliable fill-in when Zach Tom was unable to stay on the field during the 2025 season. Now officially back in the fold, Kinnard will likely continue serving in a similar role in 2026.

  • Browns' Elgton Jenkins: Expected to join Cleveland

    Jenkins (lower leg) is expected to sign with the Browns, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Jenkins is set to sign a two-year, $24 million deal with $20 million guaranteed. The former Packer is a two-time Pro Bowl center and was a staple of the Packers' offensive line. The 30-year-old's release was primarily due to Green Bay needing to clear cap space.

  • Popo Aumavae DT | CAR

    Panthers' Popo Aumavae: Waived by Carolina

    The Panthers waived Aumavae (Achilles) on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Aumavae spent the 2025 season on injured reserve with an Achilles tear and will now be waived after initially signing as an undrafted free agent in 2024. The defensive tackle has spent his NFL career thus far bouncing around the Panthers' reserve lists. Aumavae will become an unrestricted free agent if he clears waivers.
