The Chargers are slated to sign Leonard to a one-year, $2 million deal, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The 26-year-old corner from Ole Miss appeared in just eight regular-season games for the Chargers last season due to a knee injury. However, he's operated as one of Los Angeles' best special-teams players over the last two years, logging 355 special-teams snaps and 13 total tackles. Expect Leonard to maintain a similar role ahead of next season.

Fairbairn and the Texans have agreed on a two-year deal, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

The contract is a two-year, $13 million extension, which makes Fairbairn the highest-paid kicker in the NFL. The 32-year-old made NFL history during the 2025 season by tying David Akers' 2011 record for most field goals in a single season with 44. This extension will provide key continuity on special teams for the Texans as they chase a fourth consecutive playoff berth in the 2026 season.

McFadden (foot) signed a one-year deal to return to the Giants on Tuesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

The 26-year-old from Indiana missed the Giants' final 16 games in 2025 due to a foot injury that required surgery, though his new deal to remain in New York suggests he's moved past the issue. McFadden has been one of the Giants' most reliable tacklers since entering the league in 2022, recording 267 total tackles, including 6.0 sacks, and five passes defensed during his first three regular seasons. Now fully healthy, he's expected to remain an integral part of New York's linebacker unit ahead of next season.

Bailey is slated to sign a contract with the Falcons, according to Gabriel Burns of AJC.com.

Bailey averaged 47.7 yards per punt during the 2025 regular season with the Dolphins. The talented kicker will ink a three-year, $9 million deal with $5 million guaranteed once free agency officially begins Wednesday.

Gonzalez has agreed to terms on a one-year contract with Miami, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Gonzalez links forces with the Dolphins in advance of his age-31 season, coming off an impressive 2025 campaign in which he converted 19 of 22 field-goal attempts and 17 of 18 point-after tries while logging nine regular-season appearances with the Falcons. Miami released longtime kicker Jason Sanders in early March and faces the risk of losing Riley Patterson, who was tremendous as the team's starter in 2025, as a free agent. Gonzalez provides the Dolphins with a reliable starting option, though the team could still add competition at the position or work to re-sign Patterson.

Pacheco has agreed to terms on a contract with Detroit, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Pacheco fits into the Lions' backfield alongside superstar running back Jahmyr Gibbs, replacing David Montgomery. In his first two seasons with Kansas City, Pacheco averaged 4.7 YPC and scored 12 rushing TDs in 31 regular-season game as a bruising between-the-tackles runner. In part due to injuries, however, the 2022 seventh-round pick has now logged back-to-back seasons with less than 500 rushing yards and under 4.0 YPC, with only two rushing scores in 20 regular-season contests. Pacheco could rebound in Detroit with opposing defenses honing in on Gibbs, but he may not see the same touch volume that Montgomery did.

Ray re-signed with the Panthers on Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

The 28-year-old from Alabama has operated in a depth role on the Panthers' defensive line over the last two seasons, tallying 54 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, across 29 regular-season appearances. He's expected to continue playing behind Derrick Brown, Tershawn Wharton (hamstring) and Bobby Brown during the 2026 season.

Incoom re-signed with the Panthers on Tuesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.

Although Incoom played just 25 defensive snaps across the Panthers' 17 regular-season games in 2025, he led the team with 16 total tackles on special teams. Following his new deal, the Central Michigan product is expected to remain one of Carolina's most impactful special-team assets during the 2026 season.

Evans is set to sign a one-year deal with the Panthers, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

The 26-year-old corner appeared in 16 regular-season games for the Panthers last season, recording 12 total tackles while playing a key role on special teams (153 snaps). After re-signing with Carolina on Monday, Evans is expected to maintain a similar role ahead of the 2026 season.

The Packers will release Hobbs (knee) after the start of the new league year, Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com reports.

Despite inking a four-year, $48 million deal with the Packers in March of 2025, Hobbs' time in Green Bay has come to an end after just one season. The Illinois product struggled to stay on the field and finished the year on IR due to an MCL tear. Across 11 appearances in 2025, Hobbs logged 356 defensive snaps and tallied 27 total tackles and two passes defensed (all career lows). While the 26-year-old's release does not become official until June 1, he's expected to be coveted by teams in need of secondary help ahead of next season.
