Blake Whiteheart TE | CLE
Browns' Blake Whiteheart: Back with Browns
Whiteheart is slated to re-sign with the Browns on Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Whiteheart wasn't tendered by Cleveland by the early March deadline, but he's now re-upped with the team. While suiting up for all 17 regular-season contests with the team in 2025, Whiteheart contributed on special teams and as a blocker on offense. He stands to reprise a similar depth role during the 2026 campaign.

Christian Rozeboom LB | TB
Buccaneers' Christian Rozeboom: Lands in Tampa Bay
Rozeboom agreed to terms on a contract with the Buccaneers on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Rozeboom logged 15 regular-season appearances with the Panthers in 2025, totaling 122 total tackles (59 solo), including 2.0 sacks, three passes defensed, including one interception, and one forced fumble. The 29-year-old now looks set to slide into a starting role at inside linebacker alongside fellow free-agent signee Alex Anzalone, presumably relegating 2025 breakout SirVocea Dennis to a reserve gig.

Travis Kelce TE | KC
Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Officially re-signs with Chiefs
Kelce signed a three-year, $54.74 million contract with Kansas City on Monday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Kelce agreed to terms on a new contract with the Chiefs in early March and now officially re-ups with Kansas City, where he has spent his entire career since being selected by the team in the third round of the 2013 NFL Draft. The 36-year-old tight end has seen his production dip in recent years but nonetheless remains productive, having surpassed 800 receiving yards in both 2024 and 2025. His contract had previously been reported by Adam Schefter of ESPN as a one-year, $12 million deal worth up to $15 million, but Kelce and the Chiefs have instead negotiated a multi-year pact. As such, as long as Kelce opts to continue his playing career, he will be positioned to operate as a key cog on offense for QB Patrick Mahomes (knee).

Jake Bobo WR | SEA
Seahawks' Jake Bobo: Offer sheet matched by Seahawks
The Seahawks are matching the Jaguars' offer sheet to Bobo, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Per Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, Bobo now is in line to remain with Seattle on a two-year, $5.5 million deal that includes $4.5 million guaranteed. Bobo caught just two passes in 11 regular-season games with the Seahawks in 2025, and he's on track to remain in a depth role this coming season while working in a WR corps that also includes Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp and Rashid Shaheed.

Sam Roberts DT | NYG
Giants' Sam Roberts: Joins forces with G-Men
Roberts (knee) agreed to terms Monday on a one-year contract with the Giants, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Roberts suited up for five regular-season games with Atlanta in 2025, in which span he recorded a career-high 18 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sack. The 2022 sixth-round pick now will provide depth at defensive tackle behind Dexter Lawrence for New York. Roberts appears to have recovered from the knee issue that forced him to sit out the final eight games of the 2025 campaign.

Travis Homer RB | PIT
Steelers' Travis Homer: Signing with Steelers
Homer is slated to sign with the Steelers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
In 10 regular-season games with the Bears in 2025, Homer recorded just one carry and three catches, and with the Steelers he'll remain in a depth role in a backfield that also includes Jaylen Warren, Rico Dowdle and Kaleb Johnson. Additionally, Homer could emerge as a core special teamer for Pittsburgh, with Mike DeFabo of The Athletic noting that the 5-foot-10, 211-pounder -- who joined the league as a sixth-round pick by Seattle in 2019 -- is a potential kick-return option for his new team.

Tommy DeVito QB | NE
Patriots' Tommy DeVito: Projected to be Maye's top backup
With the Patriots slated to release Joshua Dobbs, DeVito now is the team's projected No. 2 QB, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
DeVito, who worked as New England's No. 3 signal-caller last season behind Dobbs and starter Drake Maye, signed a two-year deal to remain with the team earlier this month. Per Reiss, the base value of DeVito's new contract is $4.4 million and includes incentives that could increase its value to $7.4 million. Though the 27-year-old didn't see any regular-season action in 2025, he did log a total of eight starts during his two seasons (2023 and 2024) with the Giants. With Dobbs no longer in the mix, look for the Patriots to add QB depth as the offseason progresses, possibly via next month's draft.

Joshua Dobbs QB | NE
Joshua Dobbs: Being let go by New England
The Patriots intend to cut Dobbs, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.
In 2025, his lone campaign with the Patriots, Dobbs served as the team's No. 2 quarterback behind Drake Maye, who started all 17 of New England's regular-season contests. Dobbs thus was limited to 10 passing attempts and 10 carries during his four appearances in that span. In light of the looming move, Tommy DeVito now slots in as Maye's top backup, while Dobbs will look to catch on elsewhere as a veteran signal-caller option with NFL starting experience (including 12 in 2023).

Jaxon Smith-Njigba WR | SEA
Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Becomes new highest-paid WR
Smith-Njigba agreed to terms Monday on a four-year, $168.6 million contract extension with the Seahawks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The reigning NFL Offensive Player of the Year, Smith-Njigba had his fifth-year option picked up by Seattle in March, but the intent had always been to negotiate a long-term deal for the two-time Pro Bowler. Now, he becomes the highest-paid wideout in league history at an average of $42.15 million annually, including $120 million guaranteed. Smith-Njigba is coming off a career-best 2025 campaign in which he secured 119 of 163 targets for a league-leading 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns across 17 regular-season appearances, plus 17 catches (on 26 targets) for 199 yards and two touchdowns across three playoff contests, including a Super Bowl LX win over New England. The chemistry Smith-Njigba has demonstrated with quarterback Sam Darnold makes him a safe bet to return on expectations as one of the top wide receivers taken in 2026 fantasy drafts, especially in PPR formats.

Mohamoud Diabate LB | TEN
Titans' Mohamoud Diabate: Links up with Titans
Diabate signed a contract with Tennessee on Saturday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Diabate spent the first three seasons of his NFL career with Cleveland. He played in all 17 games last season and made six starts, but the Browns decided not to tender him after the campaign. Diabate should provide Tennessee with depth at linebacker and could see a fair amount of defensive snaps.
