The veteran swing tackle started nine games for the Vikings in 2025 after spending the previous three seasons in Tampa. He returns to the Buccaneers on a one-year contract to provide depth on the exterior offensive line behind established starters Tristan Wirfs and Luke Goedeke.06 April 2026
Emerson missed all of 2025 due to a torn Achilles, but the 25-year-old corner was a key contributor for the Browns before going down. From 2023 to 2024, Emerson started 27 of 33 games for the Browns, breaking up 19 passes while picking off four, and also tallying 139 tackles over that span. Emerson is a former third-round pick who has played primarily on the outside for his career.06 April 2026
Bryant started three of the 11 games he appeared in last season for the Texans, totaling 40 tackles and one TFL. The sixth-year corner appeared on 343 defensive snaps for the Texans last season and can also serve as a contributor on special teams. Bryant has started 20 games in his career and spent most of his time lined up at free safety or in the slot, per PFF.06 April 2026
Maddox spent all of last season with the Lions after spending the first seven years of his career in Philly. The veteran safety appeared in 14 games last season, totaling 32 tackles, four pass breakups, and one interception. While he’s played the majority of his career at corner, Maddox saw 248 of his 342 defensive snaps come at free safety last year.

This does not come as a surprise, as Pearce is currently facing charges for three felonies, including aggravated battery with a deadly weapon, stemming from a February arrest in which he reportedly used his vehicle to collide with another vehicle during a domestic incident with WNBA player Rickea Jackson. The team has remained non-committal about when Pearce could return, but it’s possible they will opt to keep him away from the facilities until this matter is resolved.06 April 2026
Patrick is an 11-year vet who has started 65 games in his career. He’s a versatile lineman who can play anywhere along the interior and started 25 games with the Bears and Saints from 2023 to 2024. He appeared in just six games for the Bengals last season due to an injury, making one start. Patrick played on just 23 offensive snaps all of last season. His ability to lineup at various positions should make him a solid depth signing for the Giants.06 April 2026
In hopes of avoiding replacement refs 2.0, the league will again come to the table with the NFLRA. The league rejected the NFLRA’s latest proposal shortly before last week’s league meetings in Arizona, with reports that a major source of contention stems from the annual salary increase. Per a report from earlier in The Athletic, the league sought to increase the annual salary by 6.45 percent under the next CBA, while NFLRA is eyeing “an annual increase of more than 10 percent.” That’s ...06 April 2026
Sullivan said the main reason for bringing Dulcich back stems from his late-season performance when the fourth-year tight end went for 26-335-1 over the final 10 weeks of the season. Dulcich showed some flashes early in his career, catching 33 passes for 411 yards and two scores as a rookie with the Broncos. He only caught eight passes with the Broncos over the following two seasons, but Dulcich entered the league with good pass-catching prowess. He hauled in 68 passes over his final two seasons ...06 April 2026
This is strictly Alexander’s opinion, but Alexander is a plugged-in reporter who should be plenty familiar with the situation. Dell suffered a brutal knee injury in Week 16 of the 2024 season and missed all of 2025 as a result. While head coach DeMeco Ryans has already expressed some doubt about whether or not Dell would be ready by OTAs, there’s still plenty of time for Dell to return in camp and be ready for Week 1. This situation will be one to monitor until Dell returns to the field, but ...06 April 2026
The Ravens are among 10 teams getting an early start to their offseason program due to the team’s hiring of a new head coach. The Ravens have been hoping to sign Jackson to an extension since last offseason, and GM Eric DeCosta said last month that he was still hopeful a new deal could be reached before the start of the season. Jackson is coming off a down season in which he threw for 2,549-21-7 while dealing with injuries and an offensive line that struggled to keep opposing defenders off him ...06 April 2026
As things currently stand, incumbent second-year RB Bhayshul Tuten and free agent signee RB Chris Rodriguez are set to duke it out for the backfield committee’s lead role. Rodriguez, 5'11/224, is built to handle a hefty workload, though the coaching staff willingly deployed Tuten, 5'9/209, in scoring position last year. Fellow second-year RB LeQuint Allen likely has the edge for the primary receiving role. Should one player win the starting role outright this summer, they should produce in the ...06 April 2026
Per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the teams include the Jets, Cardinals, Titans, Giants, Chiefs, and Cowboys. Rapoport also notes that NFL Network’s Daniel Jeremiah currently has the Jets drafting Reese via the No. 2 overall pick later in his most recent mock draft. Reese, 20, is a versatile, elite pass rusher who began his college career as a capable inside linebacker.06 April 2026
The Broncos’ endless quest to find a Joker tight end for head coach Sean Payton continues. Joly, 21, caught 47-of-66 targets for 468 yards and seven touchdowns in his final college season. He played for UConn from 2022 to 2023 before transferring to NC State in 2024. Joly intriguingly demonstrated remarkable consistency on a per-route basis, averaging between 1.80 and 1.93 yards per route run in regular season play each year. Denver Post’s Luca Evans notes that the Broncos are “doing work ...05 April 2026
This is mostly just a housekeeping item for dynasty managers, but re-draft managers can still file it away for a potential rainy day in Dallas. Things could change via the 2026 NFL Draft, but these two are set to duke it out for now. Milton flubbed his second-half opportunity in Week 18 last year, perhaps prompting the Cowboys to search for a more reliable No. 2 option. The team certainly has a type. Both Howell and Milton possess very strong arms, which should allow the Cowboys to continue atta ...05 April 2026
Great news. Just over a month ago, The Athletic’s Jon Machota reported Ezeiruaku had undergone surgery on his injured hip. The expectation then was that he would be out until training camp. Today’s update is encouraging. The Cowboys spent the No. 44 overall pick on Ezeiruaku in last year’s draft. He banked 36 quarterback pressures, two sacks, 29 solo tackles and 11 TFLs as a rookie.05 April 2026
EJ’s father, Emmitt, played for the Cowboys from 1990 to 2002. He is a Hall of Famer and the NFL’s all-time leading rusher. Across his five college seasons, three at Stanford and two at Texas A&M, EJ rushed 202 times for 934 yards and nine touchdowns and caught 67-of-77 targets for 417 yards and one touchdown. His ticket to the NFL is likely as an undrafted free agent. Cowboys head coach Brian Schottenheimer called him “an incredible short-yardage runner, powerful.” To Smith’s cred ...05 April 2026
The Commanders’ D/ST unit finished 29th in total scoring last year, while tying for the third-most yards allowed per play (6.0). This year, the coaches hope to wield “waves of players that [can] apply pressure” and schematic disguises to cause hesitation in quarterbacks and create takeaways. The front office revamped the defense’s front-seven, highlighted by EDGE Odafe Oweh’s four-year, $100 million contract, and added slot DB Amik Robertson in free agency. The rest of the secondary co ...05 April 2026
The NFL allows teams with new head coaches to begin voluntary workouts as early as April 6th. Teams with incumbent head coaches can begin voluntary workouts on April 20th. The Titans scheduled their first session on April 7th, which will allow Saleh and new OC Brian Daboll to officially begin working with Ward, who is “on track,” though Saleh said he is “not going to put a timetable” on Ward’s participation levels, as he works through his rehab program. Ward spent the earlier portion o ...05 April 2026
In other words, like last year, expect Stafford to not be given all of the reps in training camp or (likely any of them) in preseason. This is mentioned as Barshop notes that the Rams have yet to address backup quarterback. Kirk Cousins, who was mentioned as a potential backup option, signed with the Raiders late last week. McVay said at the meetings that Jimmy Garoppolo’s return is “less likely than likely.” As things currently stand, Stetson Bennett would be getting a lot of training cam ...
