ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that free agent DT Christian Wilkins (foot) “fully intends to play” in 2026 and has been contacted by 26 NFL teams.

20 March 2026

Schefter notes that Wilkins is still rehabbing the foot injury that ended his Raiders tenure. He has not played since Week 4, 2024. Per Schefter, Wilkins is “expected to have a new home as soon as he wants.” He set career highs in 2023, notching 58 quarterback pressures and 10 sacks. Hopefully, the foot injury can be resolved soon.

Jaguars signed Seahawks RFA WR Jake Bobo to an offer sheet.

20 March 2026

ESPN’s Field Yates reports that the Seahawks now have five days to decide whether to match the offer. The original-round tender would have made Bobo $3.52 million this year, though the money is not guaranteed. We do not know what the Jaguars’ offer is, but obviously, they beat the Seahawks’ numbers. The Florida Times-Union notes that the Seahawks will not receive draft pick compensation if they decline to match the offer sheet.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the 49ers will not exercise LT Trent Williams’ $10 million option bonus for 2026.

20 March 2026

Williams is scheduled to enter free agency in 2027, and up until now, none of his 2026 salary was guaranteed. Today’s option deadline guarantees Williams $10 million and brings his salary cap number to nearly $47 million. Had the 49ers exercised the option, it would have allowed them to spread the $10 million out over future years. The 49ers still want to reduce his cap hit and Williams reportedly wants more guaranteed money. It is unclear if the 37-year-old left tackle also wants an extension ...

Brandon Aubrey said he wants to sign a contract extension with the Cowboys and that “something will happen eventually.”

20 March 2026

The Cowboys placed a second-round tender on Aubrey that would pay him $5.76 million in 2026 after unsuccessfully attempting to negotiate a long-term deal. That said, the two sides can still agree to an extension. The Dallas Morning News’ Calvin Watkins previously reported that the Cowboys offered Aubrey an extension averaging just under $7 million per season and that Aubrey was asking for nearly $10 million per season. Aubrey disagrees, saying he did not receive the offer that the public think ...

Fort Worth Star-Telegram’s Nick Harris reports that the Cowboys are discussing potential trades for Dolphins LB Jordyn Brooks and Texans LB Azeez Al-Shaair.

20 March 2026

Harris isn’t the only reporter who believes that the Cowboys are still on the hunt for new defenders. In a report from earlier today, ESPN’s Todd Archer mentions Brooks and Al-Shaair as well, while also bringing up Steelers LB Patrick Queen as a possibility. Harris disagrees on the latter player, saying on social media that the Cowboys have “pivoted off Queen,” though he believes the inside linebacker position “gets addressed in the trade market.” In a mock draft published today, Har ...

Panthers GM Dan Morgan says he believes Ja’Tavion Sanders (ankle) will be ready for the team’s offseason program.

20 March 2026


Speaking on the Rich Eisen Show, ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio reports the league may propose a rule that limits players to playing in 17 games in order to expand the regular season to 18 games.

20 March 2026

As the league continues to push for an 18th regular-season game, Florio reports “there’s an idea floating around” that would limit every player to a maximum of 17 games to sell the expansion of the regular season. Florio does note that QBs, along with kickers and punters, could end up being exempt from these rules, but this would obviously create an interesting wrinkle for teams and fantasy mangers should this come to fruition. While no deal is imminent for an 18th regular-season contest, ...

Dolphins beat writer Barry Jackson reports Texas A&M WR KC Concepcion “is among players being summoned to Dolphins headquarters for a ’30' visit.”

20 March 2026

Even before trading Jaylen Waddle to the Broncos, the Dolphins have long been considered candidates to use a high pick on a receiver in next month’s draft. Now, with one of the thinnest receiver rooms in the league, there’s a good chance they use pick No. 30 (from Denver) or pick No. 43 to draft a playmaker to pair with Malik Willis. Concepcion is a player who has been discussed as a potential first-rounder and broke out for 61-919-9 in his final season of college. The 6-foot tall, 196 pound ...

ESPN’s Kevin Seifert reports the Vikings’ decision to re-sign Carson Wentz “doesn’t move the needle about whether the team ultimately moves on from J.J. McCarthy.

20 March 2026

This shouldn’t come as much of a surprise, but in case there were any questions about Wentz impacting McCarthy, those can now be laid to rest. Seifert reports the decision to bring back Wentz is “about avoiding the depth emergencies” the Vikings experienced at QB in 2023 and 2025, which resulted from multiple injuries at the position. Wentz, 33, appeared in five games for the Vikings last season, going 2-3 as a starter while throwing for 1,216-6-5 on 169 attempts. A shoulder injury permane ...

Browns re-signed DL Sam Kamara.

20 March 2026

The Browns did not tender Kamara before free agency, but have now opted to re-sign him. The 28-year-old lineman joined the Browns in 2022 and has appeared in 18 games over that span. Kamara has totaled 28 tackles and five TFLs while with Cleveland, and will likely be competing for a backup role this summer.

Chargers S Derwin James suffered a “minor injury” earlier this week.

19 March 2026

Fanatics’ social media account broke the news, saying James suffered the injury “earlier in the week prior to reporting to the Fanatics Flag Football Classic.” He will be replaced in the lineup by free agent S Harrison Smith, the longtime Viking. We sure would like to know if the injury occurred while training for the flag football tournament, but that part remains unclear. James was set to play for Team Wildcat alongside former and current NFL players, including Eagles RB Saquon Barkley, ...

NFL owners are scheduled to vote on a Raiders succession plan giving Silver Lake co-CEO Egon Durban “the option to purchase a majority stake in the team from longtime owner Mark Davis.”

19 March 2026

Per ESPN’s Seth Wickersham, sources indicate that Davis says he does not currently intend to sell his majority stake. The vote would only give Durban the option to buy a majority stake from Davis if Davis were to sell. Should that scenario play out, NFL owners would still need to approve Durban as the new controlling owner. Four sources also say that NFL owners “will also vote on Davis selling roughly 7% of the team to Durban and another limited partner, Michael Meldman.” If it passes, the ...

Saints re-signed EDGE Chris Rumph II.

19 March 2026

Rumph entered the NFL as a 2021 fourth-round pick with the Chargers, then led by former head coach Brandon Staley. Rumph, unfortunately, suffered a season-ending foot injury in November 2023 and an undisclosed season-ending injury in August 2024. After the Saints hired Staley as their new defensive coordinator in 2025, they reunited the pair by signing Rumph. He notched career highs in solo tackles (33) and TFLs (six) while totaling 11 quarterback pressures and two sacks.

Broncos restructured OT Matt Peart’s contract.

19 March 2026

Peart suffered a season-ending MCL tear in Week 6 last year. The restructure keeps him in Denver for 2026 via a $1.5 million pay cut. Peart gets $755,000 in financial guarantees and the Broncos free up $1.58 million in salary cap space. Peart will likely operate as a backup.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports that the Titans are hosting free agent TE Jody Fortson for a visit today.

19 March 2026

Fortson, a former Chief, suffered a torn ACL and torn meniscus on October 27th, 2024, ending his season. He entered free agency after that and was cleared to resume playing on October 30th, 2025. He was not signed by any team last season. In 22 career regular season games, the 30-year-old tight end has caught 15-of-21 targets for 160 yards and four touchdowns. If signed, Fortson will likely serve as a backup.

ESPN’s John Keim believes Commanders OL Nick Allegretti could compete for the starting job at center.

19 March 2026

The Commanders lost last year’s starting center, Tyler Biadasz, in free agency. He signed with the Chargers. Allegretti has played eight games at center in his seven-year career. He played center and right guard for the Commanders last year, earning a 44.3 PFF offense grade. Keim believes this is a position to watch. We agree. Bringing in outside help seems likely.

ESPN’s John Keim believes the Commanders could draft LSU CB Mansoor Delane in the 2026 NFL Draft’s first round.

19 March 2026

Keim lists the team’s No. 2 need as “a cornerback with length.” Delane stands 6'/187. His arms measured 30" at the NFL Scouting Combine. Commanders head coach Dan Quinn spent the 2010, 2013 and 2014 seasons with the Seahawks under former head coach Pete Carroll, who eagerly drafted cornerbacks standing at least 6' with arms measuring at least 32". We have no way of knowing if Quinn values arm length like Carroll used to, but Delane is generating first-round buzz. The Commanders signed form ...

ESPN’s John Keim reports that the Commanders “still want to add someone who can be a strong complement” to No. 1 WR Terry McLaurin.

19 March 2026

49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk obviously comes to mind, and multiple team sources tell Keim that the Commanders are “well aware” of Aiyuk’s “desire” to be reunited with his former college quarterback, Jayden Daniels, but Keim believes the Commanders are unlikely to trade for him. If Aiyuk were to be released, Keim thinks only a one-year, prove-it deal would be offered. Keim follows the Aiyuk section by saying the Commanders could also draft a receiver. Perhaps the team is negotiating through t ...

Lions re-signed DL Myles Adams.

19 March 2026

The former Rice Owl is back with the Lions after initially joining the team in 2024, when he last played regular season snaps. He participated in all four preseason games last year, including Detroit’s Hall of Fame game against the Chargers, bagging six solo tackles, four TFLs and four quarterback pressures. He was later waived at the end of August. Adams, 28, gets another chance to make the Lions’ final roster.

Eagles signed Dameon Pierce, formerly of the Chiefs, to a one-year contract.

19 March 2026

Pierce most recently played for the Chiefs, appearing in four games for them last year after the Texans cut him midseason. The former fourth-round pick broke out as a rookie, running for 939 yards and four scores on 220 attempts in 2022. His role then declined drastically in back-to-back seasons before the team pulled the plug entirely. Pierce will be competing with Tank Bigsby for the RB3 and kick returner roles this offseason.
