Panthers signed TE Feleipe Franks, formerly of the Falcons.

21 March 2026

Franks logged 15 snaps offensively last year, but earned zero targets. He logged 283 special teams snaps and racked up nine special teams tackles, ranking second among Falcons players. He is likely to operate in a similar capacity on the Panthers this season.

Panthers signed OLB Nick Hampton, formerly of the Rams.

21 March 2026

The former third-round pick spent the first three seasons of his career with the Rams. This will be his first time playing for a new team. Through three NFL seasons, he has five quarterback pressures and 10 solo tackles. Hampton, 25, will now try to carve out a role in Carolina.

Browns hosted free agent FB Michael Burton for a visit today.

20 March 2026

Burton, 34, sat out all year after undergoing surgery to repair a hamstring injury he suffered in August 2025. Last we saw him in 2024, Burton was still playing well, earning a 75.8 PFF pass-blocking grade and a 70.3 PFF run-blocking grade.

DJ Chark retired after eight years in the NFL.

20 March 2026

Chark, 29, last stepped foot on an NFL field as a member of the Falcons in two 2025 preseason games. He was released before the regular season began and did not sign with a new team. Chark spent the first four seasons of his career with the Jaguars after they drafted him via a second-round pick in 2018. He produced career highs across the board in 2019, catching 73-of-114 targets for 1,008 yards and eight touchdowns, and earned Pro Bowl honors for his efforts. He spent 2022 with the Lions, 2023 ...

Panthers general manager Dan Morgan said the team feels “good” about its quarterback room, but could still draft a rookie quarterback if they “have the opportunity.”

20 March 2026

Morgan gave a lengthy reply when fielding a question about trading QB Andy Dalton to the Eagles, highlighting the importance of mobility at the position. Dalton, 38, lacks it. We do not get the sense that the Panthers are searching for a new, immediate starter, but adding “another young guy to the mix” for competition’s sake is on Morgan’s mind. He notes that heading into the draft, the team thinks there are going to be “options” at the quarterback position for them to consider. Head ...

Panthers LT Rasheed Walker “has been accepted into a pretrial diversion program that will clear a January gun charge from his record.”

20 March 2026

Walker’s record will be cleared “if he avoids any additional arrests over the next six months.” Walker was arrested at LaGuardia Airport on January 23rd, 2026, because he reportedly lacked the required credentials to travel with the firearm. Walker evidently did not know he was committing a crime when he presented the firearm for inspection. He is licensed to carry it in the state of Wisconsin, which apparently led to Walker’s confusion.

Steelers re-signed C Ryan McCollum.

20 March 2026

The backup center gets a one-year deal, which makes sense for all involved. McCollum has spent the last two seasons with the Steelers. He earned a 50.2 PFF offense grade via 153 regular season snaps in 2024 and a 69.0 PFF offense grade via eight snaps in 2025.

Lions signed EDGE Payton Turner, formerly of the Cowboys.

20 March 2026

Turner entered the NFL as a first-round pick with the Saints in 2021. He totaled just 39 quarterback pressures and five sacks over his first four seasons before signing with the Cowboys via a one-year, $3 million deal last year. Unfortunately, a preseason ribs injury ended Turner’s 2025 season. He will likely operate as a rotational player in Detroit.

Falcons acquired S Sydney Brown, a fourth-round pick and a sixth-round pick from the Eagles in exchange for a fourth-round pick and a sixth-round pick.

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.
