Najee Harris LAC RB
Najee Harris: Scheduled to visit with Vegas
5h agoHarris (Achilles) plans to meet with the Raiders next Thursday, April 2, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Harris met with Seattle on Wednesday -- his first reported visit of free agency. He's six months removed from the Achilles tear that ended his 2025 campaign in Week 3, with not much hope of returning to Los Angeles after the Chargers signed Keaton Mitchell. The Seahawks might offer Harris an opportunity to compete for a starting job, whereas he'd merely provide depth behind Ashton Jeanty in Las Vegas. Regardless of where he signs, the 28-year-old Harris will face a difficult path back to fantasy relevance, rehabbing from an injury that's notoriously tough on running backs.

Damar Hamlin BUF SAF
Bills' Damar Hamlin: Back with Bills
7h agoBuffalo re-signed Hamlin (pectoral) on Friday.
Hamlin appears to be fully recovered from the pectoral injury that caused him to miss the final 13 games of the 2025 campaign, as he practiced in full and was a candidate to return from IR in advance of the Bills' loss to the Broncos in the divisional round. Across five regular-season appearances last year, Hamlin handled just five defensive snaps. The soon-to-be 29-year-old looks primed to handle a similar reserve role during the 2026 campaign.
-
DeAngelo Malone ATL LB
DeAngelo Malone: Visits Tampa Bay
22h agoMalone (ankle) visited the Bucs on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The 26-year-old edge rusher appeared in nine regular-season games for the Falcons last season, operating primarily on special teams, before he was placed on injured reserve in November. Malone has made 58 career regular-season appearances across four seasons, producing 59 tackles (32 solo), including 3.0 sacks.

Myles Garrett CLE DE
Browns' Myles Garrett: No trade in the works
22h agoESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Browns don't intend to trade Garrett, who agreed to restructure his contract earlier this week.
Schefter was told that the Browns are "100 percent not trading" the reigning Defensive Player of the Year. That won't necessarily stop other teams from calling, especially after Garrett's contract restructure fueled trade rumors. The restructure did a few different things with bonuses, including pushing back the dates for large option bonuses to be exercised in 2026-28 -- an adjustment that makes it easier to spread Garrett's dead-cap charge across two seasons in the event of a trade. The Browns reportedly plan to keep him for now, but perhaps with the knowledge that another losing season could lead to Garrett asking out. He publicly requested a trade less than 14 months ago, in February of 2025, before signing a four-year extension in March of 2025.

Ahkello Witherspoon WAS CB
Commanders' Ahkello Witherspoon: Agrees to deal with Commanders
1d agoWitherspoon (shoulder) is signing with the Commanders, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Witherspoon will join the team after visiting Washington on Thursday. He evidently showed during the visit that the shoulder injury which landed Witherspoon on IR to finish his tenure with the Rams is no longer bothering the cornerback. Commanders GM Adam Peters was part of San Francisco's front office when the 49ers drafted Witherspoon in 2017.
-
Lloyd Cushenberry BUF C
Bills' Lloyd Cushenberry: Signs with Bills
1d agoCushenberry (undisclosed) signed a one-year contract with the Bills on Thursday.
Cushenberry was released Feb. 25 by the Titans with a failed physical designation, but he has evidently recovered a month later, proving himself healthy enough to sign with Buffalo. He made 23 starts for the Titans over the previous two seasons and will compete for playing time at center with his new team.
-
Zach Wilson MIA QB
Saints' Zach Wilson: Signing with Saints
3d agoThe Saints are in line to sign Wilson, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Per Adam Schefter of ESPN, the quarterback -- who spent last season with the Dolphins -- will join the Saints on a one-year deal. Taken second overall by the Jets in the 2021 NFL Draft, Wilson joins a QB room in New Orleans that features second-year player Tyler Shough as the incumbent starter. Wilson last started a regular-season game in 2023, but prior to that, the 26-year-old drew 33 starts during his first three years with New York. He'll give the team another signal-caller with NFL starting experience to turn to, if needed.
-
Joe Flacco CIN QB
Bengals' Joe Flacco: Staying in Cincinnati
3d agoThe Bengals and Flacco agreed to a one-year contract Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports
Flacco kicked off last season as the Browns' No. 1 quarterback, completing 93 of 160 passes (58.1 percent) for 815 yards, two touchdowns and six interceptions in four starts. Cleveland then dealt him to Cincinnati, where he proceeded to fill in for the injured Joe Burrow. In six more starts with his new team, Flacco racked up 1,636 yards and a 13:4 TD:INT on 61.6 percent passing. Once Burrow recovered from his turf toe injury, Flacco saw only spot action down the stretch of the 2025 campaign, a role he figures to fill again this season as long as the former remains healthy.
-
Trevor Siemian TEN QB
Falcons' Trevor Siemian: Finds gig with Falcons
3d agoSiemian is signing a contract with Atlanta on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Siemian provides the Falcons with a No. 3 quarterback option behind Michael Penix (knee) and Tua Tagovailoa, who are expected to compete for the starting role. The last time Siemian saw regular-season action was 2023, when he logged five appearances with the Jets and threw for 724 yards, two touchdowns and four interceptions. He spent time on the Titans' practice squad in 2024 and 2025.
-
Tommy DeVito NE QB
Patriots' Tommy DeVito: Projected to be Maye's top backup
4d agoWith 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 NE QB
Joshua Dobbs: Being let go by New England
4d agoThe 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).
-
Feleipe Franks ATL QB
Panthers' Feleipe Franks: Signs with Carolina
7d agoThe Panthers signed Franks on Friday, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
It's a homecoming for Franks after he spent the 2024 season with Carolina before spending the 2025 campaign with the Falcons. A special-teams stalwart, Franks appeared in all 17 regular-season contests last season, recording 11 tackles (eight solo) on 299 snaps in kick coverage.

-
Tyler Goodson ATL RB
Falcons' Tyler Goodson: Georgia native signs with Atlanta
1d agoGoodson signed a contract with the Falcons on Thursday, Will McFadden of the team's official site reports.
Goodson will likely compete for a depth role in training camp behind Bijan Robinson and Brian Robinson. Atlanta also has Nathan Carter and Carlos Washington under contract at running back. Goodson recorded 54 carries for 264 yards and one touchdown across 33 regular-season appearances for the Colts over the past three seasons while adding 19 catches for 103 yards and a touchdown on 27 targets.
-
Najee Harris LAC RB
Najee Harris: Visiting with Seahawks
2d agoHarris (Achilles) is slated to visit Seattle on Wednesday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Harris is roughly six months removed from suffering a torn left Achilles that preemptively ended his 2025 campaign with the Chargers in Week 3, and agent Doug Hendrickson shared a video via his personal social media accounts on Monday of the 28-year-old running back looking well while sprinting on a treadmill. The Seahawks would make for an enticing landing spot for Harris, as the team lost Kenneth Walker to the Chiefs in free agency and Zach Charbonnet (knee) is recovering from surgery to repair a torn ACL undergone in February. As such, free-agency signee Emanuel Wilson and George Holani represent the top competition for offseason backfield reps in Seattle. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Harris also has a visit lined up with the Raiders, where a clear need for depth behind Ashton Jeanty exists.
-
Ronnie Rivers LAR RB
Rams' Ronnie Rivers: Back with Rams
2d agoThe Rams re-signed Rivers to a one-year deal Wednesday, Stu Jackson of the team's official site reports.
During the 2025 regular season, Rivers recorded 46 yards on nine carries over 11 games while also returning 16 kicks for 418 yards. Now that he's back in the fold for a fifth season with the Rams, Rivers should continue to work in a similar role as a special-teamer who provides depth to a backfield that also includes Kyren Williams, Blake Corum and Jarquez Hunter.
-
Brian Robinson Jr. SF RB
Falcons' Brian Robinson: In line to sign with Atlanta
3d agoRobinson is expected to sign with the Falcons, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com and NFL reporter Jordan Schultz report.
A third-round pick in 2022, Robinson spent the first three seasons of his career with Washington while producing between 733 and 799 rushing yards in each campaign. He was dealt to the 49ers last August and served as Christian McCaffrey's top backup in 2025, turning 100 touches into 425 yards from scrimmage and two rushing TDs. Considering he'll be working behind another workhorse back in Bijan Robinson for Atlanta, the former Commander and Niner likely will take on a similar workload in his new locale.
-
Travis Homer CHI RB
Steelers' Travis Homer: Signing with Steelers
4d agoHomer 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.
-
Trent Sherfield BUF WR
Bills' Trent Sherfield: Back with Bills
1d agoSherfield signed a contract with the Bills on Thursday.
Sherfield played 17 regular-season games for Buffalo in 2023, finishing with 11 catches for 86 yards and one touchdown. The 30-year-old wide receiver has 89 catches for 1,034 yards and six touchdowns in 124 regular-season games split between six teams. His ability to contribute on special teams could help Sherfield make the team in a depth role.
-
Elijah Moore DEN WR
Eagles' Elijah Moore: Joining Eagles' WR corps
3d agoThe Eagles are slated to sign Moore to a one-year deal, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
In nine regular-season games with the Bills in 2025, Moore caught just nine passes on 17 targets for 112 yards and added 24 rushing yards and a TD on six carries. However, the 2021 second-rounder did log a 61-538-1 receiving line with the Browns a year prior, and the 25-year-old will look to engineer a bounce-back campaign with the Eagles. For now, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Hollywood Brown are atop the team's WR depth chart, but there's been plenty of speculation that Brown could be moved. If that happens, Moore could push for a notable role in Philadelphia's offense.
-
Jaylen Waddle DEN WR
Broncos' Jaylen Waddle: Opens up cap space
3d agoWaddle agreed to terms Tuesday on a restructured contract with the Broncos that converts $15.4 million of his 2026 option bonus into a signing bonus, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Waddle's restructure opens up significant cap space for Denver. The Broncos acquired Waddle from Miami on March 17, and the 27-year-old wideout's explosiveness and athleticism should make him a dangerous 1-2 downfield punch alongside Courtland Sutton for quarterback Bo Nix in 2026. Head coach Sean Payton has praised Waddle's "grit" and "high, high [competitiveness]," as Andrew Mason of 104.3 The Fan reports.
-
Jake Bobo SEA WR
Seahawks' Jake Bobo: Offer sheet matched by Seahawks
4d agoThe 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.
-
Jaxon Smith-Njigba SEA WR
Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Becomes new highest-paid WR
4d agoSmith-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.
-
Jaxon Smith-Njigba SEA WR
Seahawks' Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Fifth-year option picked up by SEA
7d agoThe Seahawks exercised Smith-Njigba's fifth-year option for 2027 on Friday.
An obvious no-brainer for Seattle after Smith-Njigba was named Offensive Player of the Year in 2025 after securing 119 of 163 targets for an NFL-high 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns across 17 regular-season appearances. JSN then added another 17 catches for 199 yards and two touchdowns on 26 targets across three playoff contests. Through three seasons, Smith-Njigba is a two-time Pro Bowl selection and was a first-team All-Pro last season. With the optioned picked up, Smith-Njigba is set to earn $23.8 million in 2027.
-
Blake Whiteheart CLE TE
Browns' Blake Whiteheart: Back with Browns
4d agoWhiteheart 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.
-
Travis Kelce KC TE
Chiefs' Travis Kelce: Officially re-signs with Chiefs
4d agoKelce 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).
-
Stone Smartt NYJ TE
Eagles' Stone Smartt: Headed to Philadelphia
8d agoSmartt is slated to sign a one-year deal with the Eagles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Smartt, who spent the first three years of his NFL career with the Chargers, recorded seven catches (on nine targets) for 52 yards in 15 games during his lone campaign with the Jets in 2025. This coming season, the 6-foot-4, 226-pounder will provide added depth to a Philadelphia TE corps that continues to be led by Dallas Goedert, with Grant Calcaterra and Johnny Mundt currently next up in the pecking order.
-
Teagan Quitoriano ATL TE
Cardinals' Teagan Quitoriano: Lands with Cardinals
9d agoArizona signed Quitoriano to a one-year contract Wednesday.
Quitoriano suited up for all 17 regular-season games with the Falcons in 2025, though he wasn't targeted once in that span. He will be a candidate to contribute on special teams and as a blocker on offense for the Cardinals in 2026.
-
Dallas Goedert PHI TE
Eagles' Dallas Goedert: Inks one-year deal with Philly
12d agoGoedert and the Eagles agreed to terms on a one-year, $7 million contract Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The Eagles pushed Goedert's void date back to Monday, and the two sides have finally come to an agreement on a one-year deal. The contract agreement means that the Eagles will avoid a $20 million dead cap hit, per EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Questions still hover over the status of A.J. Brown heading into the 2026 season, but the Eagles will at least have a reliable target for Jalen Hurts in Goedert. The veteran tight end led Philadelphia last season with a career-high 11 touchdowns (across 15 regular-season games) and ranked third in catches and receiving yards behind Brown and DeVonta Smith. Goedert will lead the Eagles' tight end group that also consists of Grant Calcaterra, Johnny Mundt and Cameron Latu.
-
Mo Alie-Cox IND TE
Colts' Mo Alie-Cox: Returning to Indy
13d agoAlie-Cox is re-signing with the Colts on a one-year contract, NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports.
Alie-Cox has spent the first eight campaigns of his career in Indianapolis and hasn't missed a regular-season game since 2020. While he hasn't topped 189 regular-season receiving yards since 2021, the veteran tight end has been useful in the red zone, with 12 of his 81 catches going for touchdowns over the past five campaigns. Tyler Warren is firmly established as Indianapolis' long-term starter at the position, but Alie-Cox's return gives the Colts veteran leadership and elite run blocking at tight end.
-
Jake Bates DET K
Lions' Jake Bates: Officially re-signs with Lions
2d agoDetroit re-signed Bates on Wednesday.
Bates has either inked an new contract with the Lions or officially signed the exclusive rights free-agent tender extended to him by the team in early March. In any case, he's positioned to stick with Detroit for the 2026 campaign. Through two seasons in the NFL, Bates has converted 53 of 63 field-goal attempts (84.1 percent) and 118 of 123 extra-point tries (95.9 percent).
-
Jake Elliott PHI K
Eagles' Jake Elliott: Reworks deal with Philadelphia
8d agoElliott agreed Thursday to rework his contract with the Eagles, accepting a $1 million pay cut while receiving $5 million guaranteed for 2026, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
The Eagles will save $243,000 in cap space with the maneuver, while the guaranteed money virtually assures that Elliott will remain the team's kicker in 2026 following a rough 2025 campaign. After converting 20 of 27 field-goal attempts for a career-worst 74.1 percent rate during the Eagles' 17 regular-season games, Elliott then had a costly missed extra point in Philadelphia's narrow loss to San Francisco in the wild-card round. The 31-year-old still remains under contract through 2028, but the Eagles would likely have more flexibility to move on from him next offseason if he's unable to bounce back in 2026.
-
Riley Patterson MIA K
Dolphins' Riley Patterson: Re-signs with Miami
15d agoThe Dolphins re-signed Patterson on Thursday.
Patterson's return to Miami makes sense after he started all 17 regular-season games for the team last year, converting an impressive 27 of his 29 field-goal tries and all but one of his 35 PATs. The success Patterson demonstrated makes him the favorite to open 2026 as the Dolphins' starter, and prompted the team to move on from longtime kicker Jason Sanders (now with the Giants) to begin the offseason. Patterson will have competition for the No. 1 gig, though, in the form of new signee Zane Gonzalez.
-
Joey Slye TEN K
Titans' Joey Slye: Staying in Tennessee
16d agoSlye is re-signing with Tennessee on a one-year contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Last year, Slye made 28 of 35 field-goal attempts (80 percent), including nine of 14 from 50-plus yards, but with a lack of extra-point attempts (27) mostly keeping him off the fantasy radar. That's largely been the story of Slye's career: providing a strong leg for subpar teams. It doesn't help that he's never been great in terms of accuracy, with an 81.4 percent career conversion rate on field goals. The Titans may bring in competition later this offseason.
-
Jason Sanders MIA K
Giants' Jason Sanders: Joining G-Men
17d agoSanders 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.
-
Ka'imi Fairbairn HOU K
Texans' Ka'imi Fairbairn: Extended by Houston
17d agoFairbairn 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.

Damar Hamlin BUF SAF
Bills' Damar Hamlin: Back with Bills
7h agoBuffalo re-signed Hamlin (pectoral) on Friday.
Hamlin appears to be fully recovered from the pectoral injury that caused him to miss the final 13 games of the 2025 campaign, as he practiced in full and was a candidate to return from IR in advance of the Bills' loss to the Broncos in the divisional round. Across five regular-season appearances last year, Hamlin handled just five defensive snaps. The soon-to-be 29-year-old looks primed to handle a similar reserve role during the 2026 campaign.

DeAngelo Malone: Visits Tampa Bay
22h agoMalone (ankle) visited the Bucs on Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The 26-year-old edge rusher appeared in nine regular-season games for the Falcons last season, operating primarily on special teams, before he was placed on injured reserve in November. Malone has made 58 career regular-season appearances across four seasons, producing 59 tackles (32 solo), including 3.0 sacks.

Packers' Micah Parsons: Likely facing multi-game absence
1d agoParsons (knee) is projected to miss the first three or four weeks of the regular season as he recovers from a torn ACL, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Parsons underwent surgery shortly before the calendar flipped to 2026 to repair a torn ACL in his left knee. The recovery process typically takes around nine months, so Parsons still has a chance to be available by the time the regular season kicks off in September, but a multi-game absence is the likeliest scenario at this point.
-
Myles Garrett CLE DE
Browns' Myles Garrett: Agrees to modify contract
1d agoGarrett and the Browns reached agreement Tuesday on a modified contract, ESPN.com's Field Yates reports.
Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports that the Browns have no plans to trade Garrett, even though these contract modifications make it easier to do so from a cap standpoint. It won't come as a huge surprise if the rebuilding franchise eventually trades its 30-year-old superstar, but the Browns did respond with a massive four-year extension when Garrett requested a trade in February 2025. Garrett then broke the single-season record for sacks (23) while playing for a team that went 5-12 and faced just 487 opponent pass attempts (third-fewest). Garrett's renegotiated contract crucially pushes the date for option bonuses in 2026-28 from late March to late August, reducing the current-year dead-cap charge associated with a potential trade.
