Technically, the Texans let his contract expire. They’re reportedly elevating senior offensive assistant-pass game specialist Jerry Schuplinski — yet another John Carroll / Patriots legacy guy — to quarterbacks coach. It’s an uninspiring move considering Johnson has interviewed for several OC vacancies over the past few years.27 February 2026

Each club will get an additional $22 million in spending money for this season as a result of the increase. This marks the first time in league history that the cap has gone beyond $300 million, and it is a massive increase from the $208.2 million the league hit in 2022 after cutting back on cap space due to COVID in 2020/2021. This increase should put teams like the Titans, Raiders, Jets, and Chargers over $100 million in available cap space when free agency kicks off next month.27 February 2026
The Falcons officially placed the franchise tag on Pitts on Tuesday. While the two sides could still come to terms on a long-term deal to keep Pitts in Atlanta beyond next season, Kendall says “the vibe Atlanta is giving when it comes to Pitts” suggests a new deal is unlikely. Pitts caught 88 passes for 928 yards and five touchdowns last season, turning in what was arguably the best year of his five-year career. Still only 25 years old, it’s fair to assume the Falcons will want to keep Pit ...

McMillian is a restricted free agent who has quickly turned into one of the team’s top defenders after making the roster as a UDFA in 2022. The Broncos’ decision to tender McMillian means he can negotiate with other teams in free agency, but the Broncos have the right of refusal to match any offer he receives. Should the Broncos match that offer, McMillian would remain with the team, however, if they let him walk, the Broncos would receive a second-round pick as compensation. McMillian has s ...27 February 2026
Mendoza also referred to newly minted head coach Klint Kubiak and his staff as a “football savvy” bunch. The 2025 Heisman Trophy winner and national champion is widely believed to heard his name called by the Raiders, who currently hold the No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft. As far as quarterback is concerned, Mendoza isn’t facing much competition for the overall QB1 of the class, with Alabama’s Ty Simpson being viewed as a fringe first-round talent at best by most scouts and ana ...27 February 2026
Kendall reported earlier this month that it would be “hard to imagine” Allgeier returning to the Falcons in 2026. With that kind of money, it’s easy to understand why. The former fifth-round back is seeking starting RB money, and should have plenty of suitors after impressing during his first four years in the league. Allgeier rushed 210 times for 1,035 yards and three touchdowns as a rookie before being replaced by Bijan Robinson in 2023. He’s averaged over 4.0 YPC just once in his last ...27 February 2026

Cowboys executive VP Stephen Jones hinted at tagging Pickens earlier this week but didn’t entirely commit to the idea, despite things clearly heading in that direction. Now, according to Archer, the Cowboys will tag Pickens on Friday, placing him under team control through the 2026 season. While it’s possible the Cowboys will attempt to sign Pickens to a long-term extension later this offseason, they could also look to deal him for draft pick compensation in the coming weeks or force him to ...27 February 2026
As Person points out, this was expected. Robinson is considered to be a trade/cut candidate, which would free up $10.5 million for the Panthers. The veteran lineman who will be 31 next season continues to play at a high level. Robinson totaled 65 tackles, three TFLs, and 2.5 sacks last season, and had 80 tackles, eight TFLs, and 5.5 sacks in 2024. With just one year left on his current deal, Robinson could likely be acquired for a late Day 3 pick, but given the possibility of a release, teams ma ...27 February 2026
Lemon will participate in the gauntlet and run routes, but will skip out on the 40 and all testing drills. The USC product caught 79 passes for 1,156 yards and 11 touchdowns last season and has played 65.6 percent of his snaps from the slot, per TruMedia. Lemon is expected to hear is name called in the first round of the draft and has drawn comparisons to fellow Trojan Amon-Ra St. Brown.27 February 2026
Tate is widely believed to be the top receiver in this year’s class and has confirmed he will run on Saturday when the receivers, quarterbacks, and running backs get their chance to shine. Tate caught 51 passes for 875 yards and nine touchdowns last season while averaging 17.2 YPR.27 February 2026
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Franklin can earn up to $7.5 million on his new deal, with $5 million coming in the first two years. Franklin is a career special-teams player who appeared on 329 special-teams snaps for the Bills last season, totaling 13 tackles.27 February 2026

Biadasz joined the Commanders in 2024 and started all 31 games he played. The veteran center’s release comes with one year still left on his deal, but it can net the team savings just north of $8.285 million if he’s designated as a post-June 1 release. A one-time Pro Bowler, Biadasz will be 28 at the start of next season and earned a PFF grade of 71.5 while playing on 954 snaps, per PFF. He should have plenty of suitors on the open market in the coming days.27 February 2026

A true wild card in this year’s draft, Allar saw his 2025 season cut short due to a season-ending ankle injury. The former Nittany Lion started each of his last three years with the team and put together a mixed bag of performances while throwing for 7401-61-13 and adding another 732 yards and 12 touchdowns on the ground. Allar has a chance to improve his draft stock with a solid combine, where he is expected to throw, and should meet with plenty of teams who are interested in finding out what ...26 February 2026
This comes a day after ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported the Panthers had been receiving calls about Dalton for a potential trade. Morgan said he “would talk to Andy” about any requests for a trade that may come through, but it’s hard to imagine the 38-year-old signal-caller being in high demand with free agency and the draft still to go. Dalton has one more year remaining on his current deal with the Panthers, and could make for a nice bridge for a team bringing in a younger quarterback, bu ...26 February 2026
It’s not the news dynasty managers who spent valuable draft capital last season want to hear, but it isn’t all that surprising to hear from Kubiak, who deployed both Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet at high rates last season. Jeanty will almost certainly operate as the lead back, but it is a bit alarming when you consider how Walker and Charbonnet were utilized last season, and the fact that both running backs finished as the RB28 in PPR points per game (11.3). It’s far too early to pani ...26 February 2026
