  • Jaleel McLaughlin: Won't be tendered by Broncos

    The Broncos don't plan to offer McLaughlin a contract tender, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    As a result, the pending restricted free agent will be eligible to hit the open market, though Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post indicates that the Broncos are thought to be open to bringing the RB back. In eight regular-season contests with Denver in 2025, the 25-year-old carried 37 times (down from his career high 113 mark in 2024) for 187 yards and a TD, while adding four catches for 27 yards.

  • Zayne Anderson SAF | MIA

    Zayne Anderson: Won't be offered contract tender

    The Packers don't plan to offer a contract tender to Anderson (ankle), Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

    Anderson, who had been a pending restricted free agent, is thus slated have an opportunity to catch on elsewhere this offseason. The 29-year-old reserve safety logged 15 tackles in 14 regular-season games with Green Bay in 2025, while making most of his mark on special teams.

  • George Pickens WR | DAL

    Cowboys' George Pickens: Officially tagged

    The Cowboys officially placed the non-exclusive franchise tag on Pickens on Friday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    The transaction is confirmed by Patrik Walker of the team's official site. The non-exclusive franchise tag will allow Pickens to negotiate with other teams beginning with the start of the legal tampering period March 9, but it will also allow Dallas the right to match any offer extended to the breakout wide receiver. As with any franchise tag option, both sides will still have until mid-July to negotiate a potential multi-year deal, and Cowboys ownership has continually expressed a desire to keep Pickens around long-term. If no long-term extension is finalized, Pickens will be slated to play out the 2026 campaign on a fully guaranteed one-year, $28.8 million contract, per K.D. Drummond of USA Today.

  • Will Clapp C | NO

    Saints' Will Clapp: Announces returement

    Clapp announced his retirement from the NFL on his Instagram account Thursday.

    Clapp was a versatile offensive lineman throughout his eight-year career, most of which he spent with the Saints. He wasn't able to suit up in 2025 due to a foot injury that sent him to injured reserve before the season began. Overall, Clapp made 22 starts and 66 appearances through his playing career, and Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.football suggests that he could stick with the Saints as an assistant coach or other member of the coaching staff.

  • Tyler Biadasz: Being let go by Commanders

    The Commanders are slated to release Biadasz (ankle/knee), Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Biadasz, who entered the NFL as a fourth-round pick by Dallas in 2020, spent the last two seasons with the Commanders. In that span, the 28-year-old center -- who finished the 2025 campaign on IR -- started all 31 regular-season games that he played in.

  • T.J. Bass OT | DAL

    Cowboys' T.J. Bass: Set for second-round tender

    The Cowboys are planning to use a second-round tender on Bass (knee), Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Per Fowler, the second-round tender for Bass would amount to $5.8 million. The pending restricted free agent guard -- who is bouncing back from a knee issue that landed him on IR on Jan. 3 -- has 10 career starts to his credit through 48 regular-season games with the Cowboys over the past three seasons.

  • Colts' Anthony Richardson: Puts in trade request

    Richardson (eye) has requested and received permission from the Colts to seek a trade, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

    Richardson, the fourth overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft, has played a total of just 17 games across his tenure with Indianapolis, with injuries playing a significant role in the extent of his missed time. Last summer, the 2023 first-round pick lost his starting job to quarterback Daniel Jones (Achilles), who suffered a season-ending injury midway through the 2025 campaign and was then replaced under center by free agent veteran Philip Rivers. Richardson meanwhile, was placed on injured reserve in October due to a fractured orbital bone of his right eye, but he made enough progress late in the season for the Colts to open his 21-day practice window. Though Richardson ultimately wasn't activated from IR, Boyd relays that the quarterback has regained full vision in the affected eye. Richardson has one year remaining on his rookie deal, and at this stage, his best-case scenario may be getting a fresh start elsewhere with a team that will give him the opportunity to compete for a starting gig in 2026.

  • T'Vondre Sweat DT | NYJ

    Jets' T'Vondre Sweat: Being dealt to Jets

    The Titans agreed to terms Thursday on a trade that will send Sweat to the Jets in exchange for Jermaine Johnson, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Sweat and Johnson are both ascending talents on the defensive line whose talents will better suit the schemes of their new teams, especially with New York having traded former defensive tackle Quinnen Williams to the Cowboys midway through the 2025 campaign. A 2024 second-round pick, Sweat was productive across his 12 regular-season appearances with Tennessee in his second pro campaign, recording 34 tackles (16 solo), including 2.0 sacks, plus one pass defensed. He also tallied 18 quarterback pressures. He will pair with Harrison Phillips to anchor New York's interior defensive line in 2026.

  • Titans' Jermaine Johnson: Traded to Titans

    The Jets have agreed to trade Johnson to the Titans in exchange for defensive tackle T'Vondre Sweat, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Johnson, a 2022 first-round pick, will reunite with new Tennessee head coach Robert Saleh. The talented pass rusher had a down year in terms of production in 2025, racking up 43 tackles (22 solo) including just 3.0 sacks across 14 regular-season appearances, but that can be partially explained by the fact that Johnson was working his way back from a right Achilles' tear suffered the year prior. He also had two pass breakups. Back in 2023, Johnson tallied 7.5 sacks while playing all 17 regular-season games. As the Jets have already exercised Johnson's fifth-year option, he will play out the 2026 campaign with the Titans on the final year of his rookie deal. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the trade will officially process at the start of the new league year March 11.

  • Xavier Woods FS | TEN

    Xavier Woods: Stint with Titans ends

    The Titans released Woods (hamstring) on Wednesday, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

    Unlike center Lloyd Cushenberry, who was let go by Tennessee with a failed physical designation, Woods' release wasn't accompanied by such a qualification, which implies he's past the hamstring issue that ended his 2025 campaign in December. Prior to that, the 30-year-old safety recorded 39 tackles in 11 games during his lone campaign with the Titans.
